Prayers

God,

Have mercy on me, a sinner.

I learned this prayer today and I think it is a really good one. It sort of takes out all the false words and leaves the simple truth. I, as we all are, am a sinner. I ask for Mercy. You are so great I have no words. I am but a sinner.

As I say this over and over I hope to quiet my mind from the garbage that clouds up my thoughts. I hope what is left is a quiet space for you to fill. My prayer is for me to know you are here and be open to what you are calling me to do.

I pray you would give me direction. I feel out of sorts and blah. I feel so low, but I am trying to look to you and have faith in you. I know you will lead me if only I would listen.

I pray for my big guy tonight. He got bonked in the face and I ask that you would be with him to get some rest and heal his wounds. I pray nothing serious is wrong. I also pray for the little one. He is still not totally healthy. I ask that you give him strength to make it through the days ahead so he may enjoy the wonderful blessings in the next week.

I pray all these things in Jesus Christ, Amen.
