Prayers

God,

You are so wise. You knew I needed today so badly. It feels like it has been forever since we have had a good day with the oldest. He has been cranky and grouchy all wrapped up in a bad mood. I began to wonder if I could be his mother. It was hard. It was too much. Then. Today. It was wonderful to make it through the day without a fight, without tears. He had his moments, but when I said no, he said OK. Things just were not a big deal today. Thank you so much for giving me time to appreciate my kid for who he is. I needed it.

I pray for D. I do not even know him, but he is a little guy that has gotten pretty sick. I ask that you give him speedy recovery so he may go home to his family. Give his parents the strength to make it through. May they rely on You. May they seek You in this time.

Lord, I pray you would help me with the work situation. Give me a direction. Our friend D said he might know of something. If this is what I need to be doing, then please help me make it so. I am not sure where else to look. I am willing to try something new if that is where You want me.

I ask for a smooth morning. We have to all get somewhere in different directions and different times. I pray we can stay calm and make it through the day with your help.

In Jesus Christ, Amen.

Prayers

Lord,

Thank you for the opportunity to be out on my own with others. No kids to worry about. A fun, active evening. I realize how lucky I am. If it should continue I will be thankful and if it should end I will still be thankful I had it for a while.

I pray for a lead on a job. I do not know where to look. My family cannot survive me working nights and weekends. I need something during the day. The trouble is, that is a hard time slot to find. Please let something come up somewhere. You know our needs and how best to meet them. I trust you will help us.

I continue to pray for L. Heal the family so they may be together again.

I pray for the little ones that will not have much this Christmas. May they find someone or something to carry them through. Let them know they have you.

In Jesus Christ, Amen.

Prayers

Lord,

Another beautiful day. I am so thankful my kids are healthy or even mostly healthy. They have had their issues with lack of sleep and runny noses, but overall they are OK. I thank you for not putting us through the ringer just yet.

I pray to you for guidance. I do not know what to do. There are so many needs and I do not want to always come to you asking for things, but I need you in a big way. I am not getting the messages if you are sending them. You know I am kind of dense sometimes so if you could spell it out for me that would be great. Where do I go? What do I do about A? Help.

I also continue to pray for L and his family. Heal them so they may once again be together.

I pray for A. I hope she is feeling more in control and leaning on you. Give her the strength she needs to make it through the next few days so she may enjoy her time.

In Jesus Christ, Amen.

Prayers

Lord,

Thank you for giving us today. For the warm weather and the time to savor sweet moments. Even in the midst of the hard stuff we were able to pick out the good.

I pray for the two little ones sleeping right now. May they know you and love you. I am not sure how to teach them all they need to know. Give me the words to reach them and guide them. I know they are young and it will take time to understand. Bless them and keep them.

I pray you would lead me. Put upon my heart the calling you desire for me. Where should I go? What should I be doing? Show me the door and I will walk through it.

In Jesus Christ, Amen.

Prayers

Lord,

Today was beautiful. The weather was warm and the sun was out. So lovely. I managed to get things done and still not feel like the day was sucked away. There is still much to do, but we will get to that later.

I continue to pray for L and his family. Heal them so they may once again be together and do all the things a family does. I pray for my own family. The little one is not feeling all that great, though I do not mind the extra cuddles he wants. Both boys could use a good nights sleep and a couple good naps. Give us all strength to deal with the fallout if they do not get it.

Lord, I pray you would guide me to the position I need to be in. We need for me to work again, but things are not looking good. I have faith you will take care of us as you always have. I would ask you to help me find a door to open. Where should I be? What area should I be looking in? Help me, please.

In Jesus Christ, Amen.

Prayers

Father,

I cannot say today was good. I am not sure what the problem was exactly, but it was me. There is a build up of tension and at some point in the day I blow. I am sorry.

Tonight I pray again for L and his family. The kids are getting sick and things seem to be falling apart for them. Give them strength while you heal them. I pray they would heal quickly and be back to being a family and together.

In Jesus Christ, Amen.

Prayers

Lord,

Thank you for the day with my little one. We did not actually spend much time together, but it was good anyway.

So many things tonight. I pray for a little girl in the hospital, M. I do not know her, but her story came to me today. I pray that You would be with her. Whatever your plan for her and her parents I am not trying to change. I only ask that you give them strength and wisdom to endure the situation. They will need to lean on You so much.

I pray for L as he gets stronger and begins to heal. Give his doctors wisdom so that they may find out what is wrong and heal him. Be with his family as they endure this trying time while husband and father is not available.

Be with A as she is overwhelmed right now. Give her a moment to breath and trust in you. You will take care of her and her family. She is tired and needs someone close to step in to help. Give her that help. Give her the rest she needs. Let her heart know she can relax and trust in you.

I pray for A and C and even myself. We are all looking for work to help our families. Please let the doors open so we can step in and help out. You have a plan for each of us and we have faith you will take care of us. Help us all trust in you and have faith something will come.

I pray for S and her family. They lost a dear one recently and are feeling the emptiness left behind. Comfort them and let them know you can fill that void for them until they see their loved one again.

I also pray for A and her cousin. Let her doctors have wisdom and perseverance to find what is wrong and begin her healing. Give her strength to continue to endure through the pain. Also be with J and her uncle as he has his surgery soon and I missed who had the other pain, but please be with them as well. May their doctors give them some answers and bring them some comfort. Help them know You are with them through it all.

Please bring comfort to S. She exposed a painful story today and by doing so maybe helped others. We are all to share our stories to spread Your word. She took a scary step today and should be proud.

I pray all these things in Jesus Christ, Amen.
