Prayers

Lord,

Today was hard. The level of frustration just reached a new height. I pray that you would help me know what to do.

I pray for all the kids whose parents do not know what to do. Help them find each other. Help them teach and listen. Help them love.

I held my son after a bad day today and loved him as much as I could. I kissed him and hugged him hoping he would know that even though I was upset today, I still love him. I want the best for him. I want the life You have created for him. I do not know how to help him. I ask that you help me to help him.

God, I also ask that you help me make my decisions. I seem to be on the verge of something, but I do not know what. The idea of working again makes me kind of ill, but I know we need the income. Help me know what path is right. Where do I go? Also, the decision a friend gave me to make. I have no trouble thinking of reasons the answer is no, but in my heart I know the answer is yes. I just do not know the rest. Help me choose wisely. I need a teacher. I want a teacher. Please help me find the one that can help me.

I ask all these things in Jesus Christ, Amen.

Lord,

I thank you for listening to prayers for the little girl out East. She is home and feeling better. I ask you to help all the little ones go home. Help them heal from whatever ails them.

In Jesus Christ, Amen.

Prayers

Lord,

I am finding that I have much more than I ever realized. You have given me so much and I have never appreciated it as I should. My eyes are beginning to open and I see the people around me. I did not realize how many were around me. It is amazing what you see when you look.

I pray You would give me a path. More specifically, I need help starting down a path. Something I need to do is getting clearer, but I need help with the how. My good friend has suggested something for me to do, but I am not sure how to do it. I want to make the effort, but I am just not sure who to aim for. I am asking You to give me some options. I need to learn and I am asking for a teacher.

I also pray for the little ones. Keep them safe, warm and fed. How can I help? What can I do? It is time to get involved and learn.

Lord, if it is meant for me to return to work, please help me with that. I really do not know where to go. I want to be here for my family, but I need to help support the family too. Keep us together. We are starting to pull apart and more strain will only cause us to snap. Hold us together, but also show me the road to go down. I ask you to guide me. I have faith, You will provide as you always have. Thank you.

In Jesus Christ, Amen.

Lord,

Keep all the little ones safe.

In Jesus Christ, Amen.

Prayers

Lord,

Thank you for my friend. We had a good chat today and I learned things I had not thought of before. The pessimist in me is not sure anything will actually change, but I am hopeful that in telling someone I will be held accountable. Even though I do not want to, I take the easy way out. I assume what will go wrong and sometimes will not try.

I pray You would stay with me as I figure these new things out. Help me get on the path You want me on. Tomorrow is a big day for nine children. Please be with us as we make our way through the day. I hope we can get through the day with a light heart. Any success I will give to You. Help us relax and enjoy our time together.

In Jesus Christ, Amen.

Lord,

I pray all the little ones are safe, warm, fed and in Your care.

In Jesus Christ, Amen.

Prayers for Children

Father,

I have been wondering if You hear me. I am still praying and talking, but feeling more alone. I know You are here with me. Last night I asked you to help a little girl many miles away. I have never even met her. Today I found out she is better. She is home with her family and on the road to recovery. Thank you. Maybe it was not my prayer alone that helped her, but I sure feel like it did help. What fantastic things You can do. I have no idea of the power You are capable of. I only know it is great and mighty.

Lord, I pray that all the kids would be well enough to go home to their families. I am sure they are tired of hospital people, treatments and food. They want their princess sheets and Spider Man pillows. I thank you for the good health of my family. I know You keep us going each day and for that I am grateful.

In Jesus Christ, Amen.
