Prayers

Lord,

I am thankful to you for being here. I come and go and it really amazes me that when I look, you are there. I cannot even imagine the depths of love you must feel for us. How can you be here time and time again? Yet, you are. I am so thankful for that. I remember my promise to be better. A few days ago it hit me that I wanted to be better, not just feeling better, but a better person. That is still my pledge.

Everywhere I look there is a lot of joy at the season of Christmas coming. There also seems to be tough times too. Finances are tight for a lot of folks, relationships are strained. I start to feel sorry for myself, but there are so many others that have it worse. I pray we would all have faith in you. You have the master plan. I pray we would all go to you and be open to the voice that helps us know what your desires are. I pray we would turn to prayer and in turn feel comforted that you are still here, after everything.

In Jesus Christ, Amen.

Lord,

I am thankful for so much. In the few days I was down and out sick my boys grew what seems like years. They are so handsome and I have such an appreciation for them. To be without them and not get to touch them or love them was so difficult. Seeing their bright smiles really did warm my day. What a gift to get to see them with fresh eyes. I am thankful for a relative quick recovery. Any time down and out seems like forever, but I know it was only a few days and I am glad it was not longer.

I pray for so many things. I really do not want to seem needy. You know my every thought, but when we ask we start a dialogue with you. I know you are not Santa Claus and I should not give you a laundry list of things, but there are a lot of concerns on my mind and I ask you to help me muddle through them.

I pray for my little guys. Please keep them well. We have been through sickness and almost wellness then sickness again. We could sure use some time of healthy, happy family. Please stay with me tomorrow as I try to find my way in the working world. You know our true needs and I know you will take care of us. I ask that you guide me through to where I should be.

I do want to be better. Not just feel better, but be better. I see what a lazy person I have been and I want that to change. I want to be the person I want to be. Please help me make decisions for you.

I ask all these things in Jesus Christ, Amen.

Lord,

Have mercy on me, a sinner.

In Jesus Christ, Amen.

Lord,

Have mercy on me, a sinner.

Thank you for helping me get well so fast and so far the rest of the family has been spared.

Please watch over all of us and keep us safe with you.

In Jesus Christ, Amen.

Lord,

I am so thankful my husband has been taking care of everything. He has watched the kids and even managed to take care of me a little. I hope he sees what my life is like. I am thankful he has taken on my burden without complaint. What would I do without him?

Please let this medicine work quickly. I ask that you let me heal quickly so I can get back to life such as it was.

I pray the little ones do not catch this and they may stay healthy boys while I recover. I am so thankful they have someone to watch over them, but I miss them so much. I miss the hugs and kisses and funny things they do.

I pray for all the kids and parents recovering from sickness. Please speed their recoveries.

In Jesus Christ, Amen.

Lord,

Have mercy on me, a sinner.

In Jesus Christ, amen.

Lord,

Have mercy on me, a sinner.

And if you could help me feel better that would be great.

In Jesus Christ, Amen.
