Blessed am I to know Thy Love. Grateful I am for Thy presence. I seek Thy Will and ask for patience. With Thy peace I will be still. Calm my mind and clear my thoughts. Be in my dreams and show the way. Help me know what words to say. Give me good ideas to share. Grant me confidence to dare. I am that I am and know I see. That my life should always be about Thee. Free to choose. Free to loose. Free to seek. Free to struggle. Free to grow. Able to know. Thy Will. I will try. I will cry. My fate is not to reason why. To live. To give. To forgive. Forgiven I am. Thou hast forgiven me. Driven I will be. Thou art great. I will not hesitate. To praise Thee. WorshipThee. See Thy good in everything. Thy Love I sing. My love I bring. I give to Thee. Me. Amen.

I love you. Thank You for this day. Hard to believe another year has past. Recognizing and worshipping You through prayer on this holiday has made a big difference in my life. I am grateful for this time and place to write down my prayers. Thank You for reading them. Thank You for listening. Being a father myself has been the greatest blessing in my life. I love my daughters so much that it hurts sometimes. There is so much more I wish I could do for them and their mother. I believe You understand this desire. I am disappointed in my inability to be there for them and listen and understand and fulfill their expectations of me. I guess this is my problem and not theirs. Please grant me strength, patience and wisdom to be the best dad I can be. Please help me love them as You love us. Please let my father who is with You know how grateful I am that he was my dad. I pray in the name Emmanuel. Amen.

God is great. God is good. And we thank him for this food. By his hands we are fed. We thank him for this daily bread. Amen.

Please God grant me restful sleep tonight. In the morning restore my sight. Open my eyes. Change my perspective. Make me productive at work. Make me grateful I am home. Make me feel I’m not alone. Open my ears that I may hear. Soften my heart that I may accept. Strengthen my mind that I may find and know a Thy Will. Grant me focus. Clear my mind. Free my Soul that I may find. A better way a straighter path.

Thank You for letting me know it is not up to me to share Thy message. That it is up to me to tell my story. To live my life as a blessed and highly favored child of Thee. That knowing Thee and Thy Love is the purpose of my life and the secret to happiness. That knowing Thy Kingdom is inside of me and the answers to my questions and the truth I seek can be found therein. That communion with Thee is the way to know me. That loving myself is the way to show my love for Thee. That there is greatness in me. That Thou art with me now and forever. Amen.

Thank You. You are amazing.

Grateful I am, but weary I have become. I fear not this ever increasing physical pain and inability to heal as chronic suffering appears to be Thy Will for me. A burden I will gladly bear as a price for the many blessings of this wonderful life. I am no Job, but like him I will always Love Thee and will not fore sake Thee. I have faith in Thee and trust in Thy Love for me. I pray to Thee to comfort my Soul and ease my mind. Grant relief of my internal suffering. My grief. My anxiety. The chaos of my brain. The ringing in my ears. The doubt. Grant me confidence. Grant me peace. Allow me to focus. Clear my mind. Grant me the capacity to grow past this. Give me dreams. Give me ideas. Show me signs. Open my eyes that I may see them. Talk to me. Let me hear Thy voice. Open my ears that I may hear Thee. Do I ask for more than I can bear? Are You protecting me from myself? Can I not handle the truth. If Thou art always with me why am I lonely? My family my wife are more than enough I am truly

My Higher Power, my Love, my God creator of Heaven and Earth. The great I Am That I Am

...”Both parties deprecated war; but one of them would  make  war rather than let the nation survive; and the other would  accept  war rather than let it perish. And the war came. One eighth of the whole population were colored slaves, not distributed generally over the Union, but localized in the Southern  half  part of it. These slaves constituted a peculiar and powerful interest. All knew that this interest was, somehow, the cause of the war. To strengthen, perpetuate, and extend this interest was the object for which the insurgents would rend the Union, even by war; while the government claimed no right to do more than to restrict the territorial enlargement of it. Neither party expected for the war, the magnitude, or the duration, which it has already attained. Neither anticipated that the  cause  of the conflict might cease with, or even before, the conflict itself should cease. Each looked for an easier triumph, and a result less fundamental and astounding. Both read the same

Thank You for Thy Love. Thank You for allowing me to know Thee. I pray to Thee tonight because I feel no one cares what I have to say, but Thee. Thank You for allowing me to know Thy Will. At times like these I find it so hard to abide by Thy Will when there is such conflict and hate in the streets. When there is death and disease and fear and the whole world is told to stay inside, to hide. When there is nowhere to go. When comfort is hard to share. When nothing seems fair. Thank You for my faith in Thee in times like these. When my heart breaks and my mind cannot find reason or rhyme or answers. I pray for those on the other side. I pray for Love we cannot hide. I pray for our enemies. I pray for our friends. I pray for my family and I pray for theirs. I ask Thee for ideas to help. I ask for wisdom and courage to speak the truth. I pray for the freedom Thy Love provides. I pray for those who have to decide. May they seek Thy guidance and know what’s best. I pray for our country, our

Thank You from the bottom of my heart. So grateful
