RE: for us all on prayerline
Dear Jesus,
I thank you for speaking to Matt's heart to post this prayers, as I read the same thing in my devotions this morning, that God will give us the strength to do his ministry in our lives.
Lord, at times, I do feel like Paul did, the chief of all sinners, even though I have been saved for many years, and I am so thankful for your mercies which are new every morning. I am so grateful for your grace and forgiveness, for without it, I would be lost , utterly and totally lost, everything I am , I owe to you, for I am nothing without you Lord. You are my eyes, my voice, you help me see, when I cannot see, you help me speak , when I cannot find the words to say, and all honor and glory goes to you Lord.
Lord, I thank you Lord Jesus for how you have done such a great thing in my life, how you have taught me, that you bring trials in our life to be able to help others who go through the same heartaches. I admit at times, I get downcast, and feel sorrowful, when satan brings to my remembrance, of past hurt or losses, and one of the hardest things I lay today before you and for prayer , that I deal with is anger I feel for violence against your children, Lord. You know my heart Lord, you know the trials my family has experienced Lord Jesus, but you know how hard it is for me, when I read the news and read about violence against your children Lord, how it tears me in two Lord, and I plead to you , when Lord, when, as I know Lord, you Lord , will avenge those who shed innocent blood, Lord. Lord, it does hurt me to see the innocent being abused or hurt, and I know how it must hurt you, but I am not the Saviour you are, and lest I boast Lord, forgive me, Lord, who am I to know anything, as lately I have been feeling very weary and it has been coming out in many forms, especially my health, trying to help so many people. Lord, I see so many people suffering where I work and that grieves my heart and I pray Jesus come back , please come back soon. I have elderly patients suffering and crying in my arms Lord, and they are so sick and I just want you to walk in their room and take them home. I guess Lord, I am feeling overwhelmed Lord, and forgive me Lord, as I have been taking it out mostly on my husband , as we are having our own trials too. I also feel bad for complaining this morning Lord, for I have so much to be grateful for Lord, but I am not going to lie, Lord, for you already know my heart, and I need some prayer.
As I said, there is days, when I lay down at night, in my heart, I wonder , how could you have come to save me, Jesus, when I can on some days, act worse then the chiefest of sinners with the words I say to my husband, but I praise you for the confidence that you give me, that I am yours, that nothing will ever seperate me from you, for it is not what I do, it is what you have already done, and I thank you for that.
Lord, Jesus, I thank you so very much, for hearing my heart prayers for my children and for all the people who prayed for them. Tomorrow, my daughter is 24 weeks pregnant, Lord Jesus, and I praise you, as my grandson, is going to be given the words from the Doctor that he now has a chance to live, thank You, Jesus, I could cry over this answered prayer, as I was afraid to hope that he would live, because of my granddaughter dying, but Lord, you heard our prayers and you are faithful to answer them Jesus, and I ask that you put your hand on my precious daughter, grandson, and watch over them all the days of their lives, heal her , my daughter, and let her know she is yours Lord Jesus.
Lord, thank you for the healing you gave , my precious sons, Lord, you have done glorious things in my boys life, you have turned my sons sadness into gladness, and you have turned horrific memories that I cannot even fathom , he has dealt with , it breaks my heart in two and turned them into beautiful smiles that brighten my heart so much Lord to see, for it has been so long that I have seen his beautiful smile Lord, and the sparkle in his eyes, Lord and I thank you Lord, for restoring my son. I pray for the ones who harmed him Lord, Jesus and you know how my heart hurts about the whole situation, I ask that you bring healing to them all, for you know I love them Lord.
I thank you for my youngest son , who is such a joy to my heart Lord, who has taught me so much Lord, and who also has come through the fire, Lord Jesus and is shining Lord. Lord, I ask that in his stubborness , you use it for your good Lord, and that all my children and my precious children, who have been hurt so much too , that you heal them all , and erase the horrific things that have been done to them and restore to them Lord, all bright and beautiful things, bless their future and our grandchildren Lord Jesus.
Lord, lastly, be with my precious husband, who came into our lives and fought for our family Lord. Who went through the fire for us and made so many sacrifices Lord for us, Lord Jesus. Who stepped right in and was a father to my children Lord Jesus. Help me Lord, be quiet Lord and not demand my own way Lord, for I have been so independant for so long, and stubborn Lord, but to trust him more Lord and be a good helpmate to him Lord . Lord reign over him , heal all of his hurt, draw him so close to you and fill his heart with your love, joy and praise Lord Jesus. Forgive me for every hurt or unkind word I ever spoke to him Lord Jesus. Draw us so close together, and keep your cord of love , commitment and trust so tight around us that nothing will ever seperate it Lord Jesus.
Lord, I know this is alot, but I do feel better, as it has burdened my heart for the last few days and have thine own way Lord, Jesus, I am not ashamed of who I am in you, a sinner saved by grace. satan is already telling me not to post, but get thee behind me satan, as I need prayer, for encouragement, strength and to do Gods will and not mine own, in every area of my life. Especially Lord, I applied to nursing school now too, and now , I am having doubts, as I know in my heart, I did not commit that to prayer, but like you know me , the child that is always running ahead of you Lord, doing things my own way and then running back to you, asking you Father to fix them Lord , Jesus, in my own life Lord, help me to be still Lord and wait upon your will Lord Jesus and be faithful to do what you want in my life and not my own selfish desires, Lord, for truly Lord, it is my desire deep in my heart to fulfill your plan in my life and not my own, even though I have messed up so many times, Lord Jesus, take my mess ups Lord and use them for your glory.
I commit all this to you in prayer and faith and ask for others to pray and I also ask that you walk before my family this upcoming week, before we go to vacation and next week and help us have the most glorious time in you and have rest, peace and joy in you . Lord, Jesus also , help my husband and I to stop fighting about where we are going to , and to both be willing to join together and go where it will be a great place for all of us, the boys, us and our animals.
I love you Jesus, thank you for listening to me today , Lord Jesus and I ask Lord, that you forgive me today , tomorrow for all of my sins and that you bless each and every one that comes and goes on this prayers site.
In your precious name , Jesus , I do pray.
Amen.
