Loving through anger

Dear Lord Jesus, 

Help me love people better.

Ephesians 4:25-26 So each of you must get rid of your lying. Speak the truth to your neighbor. We are all parts of one body. Scripture says, “When you are angry, do not sin.”  Do not let the sun go down while you are still angry. 

I long for You

As the deer pants for water, so I long for you, O God. 

Psalm 42:1

God I need You!

A Prayer To Keep Going

God, I need You.

Carry me when I'm weak; 

Hold me when I'm tired.

Love me when I cannot

care anymore.

And when I huddle 

lonely and afraid,

cover me with your

strong, protective hands,

guard my sleep, and

wake me in the morning,

rested and strong,

and ready to try again. 

Amen

On this day

Dear Lord,
Thank you for Wednesday, June 1, 2016. 

Remind me of your presence in everything I do. 
Remind me that love matters. 
Let me represent you well when I open my mouth. 


In your glorious Name,
Amen. 

Hope when you are uncertain

“God shall bless us; and all the ends 
of the earth shall fear Him” Psalm 67:7 KJV

May you be blessed with—
Peace when you are troubled;
Grace when you are needy;
Courage when you are afraid; 
Strength when you are weary;   
...Faith when you are doubting;
Hope when you are uncertain;
Tenderness when you need to be assured;
Wisdom when you need to know the way;
Endurance when you need to continue on.

I recognize my dependence on your Holy Spirit.

Lord God Almighty,

I recognize my dependence on your Holy Spirit. 

I need The Spirit to give me direction, strength and love for others this week. 

Draw me Yourself.

I can't do the things you call me to do without Your supernatural power working in me. 

I ask these things In the name of Jesus!

Amen!

I need to write this

Dear Lord,

Thank You for this good day. You put the perfect intersection of people, purpose and places in my life today.

I needed today and by Your kindness and grace, I enjoyed each minute.

Thank You for thinking of me and for allowing me to realize that You were thinking of me. :)

Love you, Lord Father.

A prayer for encouragement from God

Dear Father, I lift up your precious child. You know her heart and you understand exactly what she's dealing with.  I ask for your peace, comfort and strength for her during this season in her life.  Please make your presence known to her dear Father, so that she can hang on to your promises.  Let her remember that sunny days are ahead and help her endure her burden.  I humbly ask this in the powerful name of Jesus Christ who is real and who lives! Love you Lord. Blanca I wrote this prayer years ago - 2009.

A prayer of reflection

Psalm 126:3 The Lord has done spectacular things for us. We are overjoyed. 

Lord my God,

Before another year begins I stop to thank You for each of the 365 days of 2014. I'm grateful for --

the relationship I have with YOU

the power you give me daily

the activist part of my heart that you awakened

the desire to proclaim that YOU alone are God 

the laughter of those I love 

the tears that touched our eyes

the relationships that were restored

the health we can't take for granted

the faith needed to accept curveballs

the job that maintains my livelihood 

the places I saw and the things I enjoyed

the people of my family, friendship and faith communities, and

the people you put on my path who pour knowledge, prayer and friendship into my life.

Amen.
