My mother sent me this prayer as part of an email. Rather than sending it on, I decided to post it, because I was well, touched! May God bless your day today! Dear Lord, I thank You for this day, I thank You for my being able to see and to hear this morning. I'm blessed because You are a forgiving and an understanding God. You have done so much for me and You keep on blessing me. Forgive me this day for everything I have done, said or thought that was not pleasing to you. I ask now for Your forgiveness. Please keep me safe from all danger and harm. Help me to start this day with a new attitude and plenty of gratitude. Let me make the best of each and every day. Clear my mind so that I can hear from You. Please broaden my mind that I can accept all things. Let me not whine and whimper over things I have no control over. And give me the best response when I'm pushed beyond my limits. I know that when I can't pray, You listen to my heart. Continue to use me to do Your will, Continue to bless me that I may be a blessing to others. Keep me strong that I may help the weak... Keep me uplifted that I may have Words of encouragement for others. I pray for those that are lost and can't find their way. I pray for those that are misjudged and misunderstood. I pray for those who don't know You intimately. I pray for those that will delete this without sharing it with othersI pray for those that don't believe, But I thank You that I believe that God changes people and God changes things. I pray for all my sisters and brothers, for each and every family member in their households. I pray for peace, love and joy, in their homes; that they are out of debt and all their needs are met. I pray that every eye that reads this knows there is no problem, circumstance, or situation greater than God. Every battle is in Your hands for You to fight. I pray that these words be received into the hearts of every eye that sees itIn Jesus' name. Amen!

Are you there God?

Do you ever wonder if God is hearing you? Why He has brought you where you are? Why He is being silent? Somedays are better than others, in fact most days are really good, and then others are blessings as He takes us deeper than we've ever gone before, taking hold of our hand and carrying us to places we've never experienced, places where we have no choice but to trust His sovereignty and His Promises. Every day, whether I experience the presence of God or not, He is there! God is there, ready to help us out of every trouble, despair, minefield of life that at times can threaten our faith and sanity, but in all things He is faithful. I will Glory in My Redeemer...
