I'm am grateful for this past year. Very challenging in many ways, rewarding in others and in many ways enjoyable. I am most thankful for this new prayer blog as a new line of communication between Us. I pray to Thee to commune with me here, teach me, comfort, guide, and fortify me here. On this last day of the year please be present in my life. Allow me to see Thee here with my family. Insure Thy Love in the hearts of my children and fill my wife with hope and optimism. Comfort her in knowing how Loved she is and how beautiful she is and how wonderful she is to Us. Please relieve her pain and bless her with good health. Please grant me the ability to help her, love, support, uplift and inspire her. Today and in this new year ahead please draw Us closer to Thee and in Us let true happiness be. I pray in the name of Jesus Emmanuel Christ. Amen.

Not sure what I was expecting, but scripture works. 2 Corinthians, the Lord is perfected in my weakness...I always   struggled with this passage. How can me being weak and imperfect make any difference on Thee. I get it, I guess, through my need and shortcoming I turn to Thee and invite You in and desire Thy assistance. Becoming the friend in need, indeed. And as a sign from Thee, it came to me so immediately after asking and that it directly answers my previous two posts I will consider it a yes to my question. Dear God, thank You for listening and for the sign. Amen.

Oh God, I ask Thee for a sign. Should I continue to pray this way? Make it simple and clear, so that I understand. I will do whatever You say. I will make it be. Praise be to Thee. Amen.

I have faith in Thee. The problem is me. Dear Lord what is wrong with me? Have I not overcome enough to believe in myself. Have I not sought the truth, fought for the right, brought justice, made love, grown friendship, built bridges, and cared enough to have faith in me. I am forgiven and still feel condemned. I am haunted by my failures. I am repentant, but not enough, never enough it seems, to shed this curse I have placed on myself. Why do I deserve to live when the good ones died? Whom am I, that I should be so blessed? Am I Yours? Why should the God of the whole Universe want me? Please Lord help me overcome myself. Please, for them, let me get over myself. Grant me opportunity and the will to take advantage of it.  Help me sleep, Help me have faith in myself. Grant me the confidence I lack to fulfill Thy Will for me. I know through the atonement of Thy Son I am forgiven before I ask, but forgive me for my sins. Forgive my self loathing. Forgive my lack of faith in myself and in

I think of Thee this morning and my troubles seem far away. I am tired yet eager to face the day. With You with me, this day will surely be something special to behold. I'll be with You 'til I'm old and on my way. I let go of my belief and dive completely into faith. My life is Yours. Do with it what You will. I know my life has meaning and purpose. I'm just floating on the surface of a great ocean of realty. The great possibility of You with me. My faith is still like a mustard seed, but will grow to be the giant tree. Lead me this day and I will follow. No long shallow, no longer hollow, living this day and not tomorrow. Please protect my girls while I am gone. Give me the words to write this song. I pray to Thee my Maker. I am Your Avitar no longer a faker. I know where you are. You are my shinning star within. Today my life begins again. In Emanuel I pray, my live begins again this day. Amen.

I thank Thee for this time at home. So greatful to be rested and at peace. In awe of my daughters and wife and my dogs and to spend this time with them has been such a blessing. Thank You for the opportunity to work tomorrow. Please come to work with me, Please guide me and help me find my purpose. Please give me the strength and wisdom to know and do what is right. Please allow me a sense of humor and the ability to spread joy. Please help me know Thee and Thy Will. I pray in the name of Jesus Emmanuel Christ. Amen.

Grateful I am that You are near. Hopeful my time at home with my girls remains joyful so that I may share Your love with them. I pray for strength and wisdom every day to overcome my weaknesses and build a happy home. Help me support Suzy and give her what she needs to feel loved and appreciated. Bless me Father with opportunity and favor me with skills and know-how to take advantage of them. Speak to me. Send me signs. Speak so that I may hear and send signs I can see to know Thy Will for me. Please open my mind and help me think clearly. Please open my eyes that I may see Thee in my life. Grant me restful sleep tonight and wake me in the morning with joy in my heart and Thee on mind. I ask for this in the name of Emanuel. Amen.

I wake with You on my mind.You are so kind and I find there is no need. No worry. 

Thank you for the wonderful day with Kayla and Mary at Powderhorn. Thank you for the great walk with Chloe and the dogs. Thank you for the relaxing evening at home with Suzy and the family. So grateful for this life. Please continue to be present. Please help me sleep well tonight and be productive, present and mindful tomorrow. Please wake me in the morning with You on my mind and love in my heart. Please grant me wisdom and courage and the will to use them. I ask in the name of Emmanuel. Amen.

Not sure why I've been praying in rhyme. Takes no effort and hardly no time. My thoughts seem to clear my words start to flow. Helps me discover things I don't know. I mean no offense and my only defense is I do it with love. I just start writing and my mind stops fighting. I follow my heart. Not sure what to say. It's always been that way. I mean what do you say to the One who knows all. What can I give to the One who has everything. Maybe a song. Maybe I'll sing. Maybe I'll fall. Make a fool of myself. Maybe the rhyme will stop on a dime and with my heart revealed, I'll see what it is real. You haven't ever heard these words before. Not said this way. I am the only person in the world tonight to post these bold words in Thy sight. I love You my Maker. I love you today. I know my Creator and I say on this day. Merry Christmas my Father above. Merry Christmas my Brother of Love. Merry Christmas Holy Spirit. I pray that Thee hear it. I pray for myself, I pray

Felt Your Spirit in Christmass Eve Mass today. So grateful I must say. My girls, my wife, one of the best days of my life. Praising You and Your Son and the Holy Ghost. Being with them is what means the most. Singing praise the best I could. Doing what I think I should. Making the best of what I got. Knowing for sure it is a lot. Friends and family singing and praying and coming together. A moment in time I'll remember forever. The Church and the people so imperfect and real. Trying our best trying to deal. With life and stress and all the rest. Taking communion in reunion with Thee. Showing my daughters how good life can be. Listening to Thee and I finally see. Thy face in my children. Thy love in my wife. Thy voice in my head. Thy hope in my life. Thy name I heard Emmanuel. God with us is his name. The truth to me so plain. Hallelujah Emmanuel hallelujah I say. Christmas is coming. Hallelujah today. I thank Thee for my life. I thank Thee for my wife. For my children and for my ho

The Kingdom of You is within me. I have known this my whole life. I have feared this truth. Run from it. Searched everywhere else for You, but here. It's so powerful to know that you are not only with me, but inside of me. I am Your Kingdom. Scares me still. But I Know it's true. I am so humbled. So honored. So grateful. The Love in me is You. It's so simple. Nearness to You is Love. Nearness to You is Hope. Love for You my companion. Thy mercy to me is my healing and my foundation in this world and the world to come. I Love You and me too.

My heart sings to Thee and I hope to be with Thee. I ask You to be with me and my family. I'm so grateful for this time of year. Some much good cheer and bittersweet tears. Joy and sorrow mixed today and tomorrow Christmas Eve. So blessed at home with my family. Not always easy when we care so much, and love so much, and worry for those you love far away. This day we've laughed and cried and wondered why. We have so much and feel Your touch and hope that we can give enough. Please God help me breath in Thy Holy Spirt and share Thy Grace and Love with my family. Help me be here with them. Mindful in every moment. Present. Be here with me with them, hear me praise Thee, worship Thee, love Thee. Have my family see Thee through me and bring Joy into this home. I ask this in the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.

Dear Father, Son and Holy Ghost, I think I've found what matters most. Be Thee one or three makes no difference to me. My need to be right that used to keep me up at night. Seems to have faded. I am no longer jaded. My need to know. My desire to see. What I thought I had to be. Makes little difference either way. No one cares what I have to say. Nothing has changed this day. Always has been this way. I never even had to stay. My need to play. To get my say. The need to get my way. All gone now I'm afraid. All my hands Have been played. Just me here now before I sleep. Praying to Thee my soul to keep. If I die before I wake. It's You I want my soul to take.  My daughters mean so much to me. Their mother too is all I see. They're why life matters much to me. The person who I'm meant to be. I am father, son and holy gohst. Their lives are now what matter most. I Think dear Father about our Mother. Your wife his mother Your other half. Woman and man in Your image create

You are a really big God. That is how I see it. So big you stand outside of time and space. I'm so humbled and grateful that you are so unimaginably big and still be here with me in this finite space, at this moment in time, with little old me. Who am I that You would even notice. Who am I that You would care to listen. Who am I that I even matter to You. Who am I to deserve all that You have given me. I know that I am Yours and this does make a difference. I am Yours and yet you set me free. In this there is deliverance. I have made some bad decisions, yet you love me still the same. I choose to always love You, I choose not to play the game. I choose the way I live my life my wildness I tame. For my failures I accept the blame seeking righteousness not fame. I seek the truth and own my shame. For I know now that You love me. Life will never be the same. I ask for forgiveness You have already given. I ask for strength and wisdom and recieve shelter in Your kingdom. Right now I lay

Thank you for music. Help me create new melodies. Help me play new chords. Help me write new lyrics. Help me sing new songs and have them be good. I wish to play and sing to honor You, praise You, worship You. Help me feel worthy to do so. Help me write psalms like David and join them with the rhythm of my guitar and the joy in my heart. Help me discover a new sound and allow me to share with the world. I pray in the name of Emmanuel. Amen. 

Thank you for my job. Please help me sleep tonight, help me keep the CPAP on all night tonight. I pray I wake up rested and with a good attitude. Please be with me tomorrow at work and help me do good work. Help me be focused and productive in the team meetings and trainings. Help me be in good cheer during the lunch time gift exchange. Allow me a good sense of humor and the ability to feel and share the love You have given me so much of lately. Help me find my purpose. Give me courage to fulfill it. Grant me wisdom to act in accordance with Thy will. Please bring me home to my family knowing I did a good days work. Help me bless them with love and the energy and ability to satficy their needs. Help me love my wife in a way that makes her feel loved. Make me a better father and husband. Make me a better man. Help me understand. I ask in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.

Thank you for Jeannie McWilliams. She is dying and in hospice tonight, please comfort her and bring her home to you and Doc. Please comfort her children and all who know her and love her. 

Are you still there? Forgive me for my little faith. Today I fell back a few steps. Angst and the lot were with me all day. The difference a day makes in my life scares me. One day I'm walking with You by my side and the next I am alone, wandering, lost. Unable to call out for help. At a loss for words. Stuck in a day without You. Please help me. Prompt me please. Speak to me. Tell me You are near. Open mine eyes so I can see You. Remove my attention deficit. Grant me focus. Fill my heart with joy. Rekindle my Spirit. Free my Soul. Please God help me. Make tomorrow a new day and I will be glad in it. Grant me sleep and rest tonight. Wake me in the morning light. Shake me with Your presence. Let me hear Thy music and I will sing my love for Thee. There is none other God but Thee, my help in peril, my friend indeed, my love. Please grant me peace. In the name of my redeemer, my savior, my friend Jesus. Amen.

Thank you for the parakeet you sent into my life back in 1992, I've thought about the moment it flew down next to me as I sat on the curb behind Margarita Maggie's three times today. The first was this morning. I must have dreamed about it.  I guess I never realized how much I needed you back then, but as I try and really remember that moment I can actually feel the loneliness and despair that overwhelmed my life that year. The night I caught that bird my girlfriend would bring me a cage so I wouldn't have to bring it home in a beer box. My roommate thought our dog would kill it and asked me to keep it in my room. Sam actually liked to sit on my bed a watch it. When it would tweet he would tilt his head. He loved that bird. Not long after my roommate would tell me he's moving out. He said I should probably just keep the dog as Sam seemed to love me so much. A few months later my girlfriend would break up with me and leave for Europe. My roommate and her would marry abou

Thank you for Suzy. Her birthday today reminds me of your love for us. Our children, our dogs, our home, our life is nothing without her. Her love for me, mine for her, ours for our children and dogs remind me that there is nothing without love. The power of attraction, the bonding force, the energy of life, the essence of You. The unknowable. Know only by its absence. The light in the darkness. The warmth in the cold. The hope in despair. The meaning in life. I seek Thee. I have found Thee. I hold Thee close as the love I have for my family. Content in the now. Glad for this day. Blessed by You through them. I walk in grace. Led by you. I follow You. Lead me. Speak clearly to me. Show me what I need to see to fulfill the Will. Show me Thy favor. Give me knowledge and wisdom. Grant me joy. I will share what Thy bestow upon me with those you entrust to me. I humble myself before Thee and ask in the name of Your Son Jesus. Amen.  

Thank you for the dream. A few days ago I asked and there it was. It seemed so innocuous and plain I didn't think anything about it. The nightmares of my past used to shake me up and demanded my attention, but this, a thirsty house plant. Still alive in a large pot, but so dry the dirt and roots had constricted pulling away from the inner surface of the pot. I water it and the memory fades away. Beautiful and simple yet deep and rich with potential meaning. If I am the plant I must drink. If the plant is someone I love I must water them. The water is love. I get it. I have been given much love and must share it with those in need. Please God, let me have a restful sleep and let me remember my dreams. Speak to me while I sleep and I will listen. Show me what I need to see and in the morning allow me to remember what I have seen. I pray for this in the name of Jesus Emmanuel Christ. Amen. 

Thank You for your Son Jesus Emmanuel Christ. He is my Lord and Savior and I ador him. I am so grateful for his attonement and his sacrifice. I am grateful for the Mormon Church and the Catholic Church and for the apposing view on the Holy Trinity. All in One or as three separate beings the Father, Son and the Holy Ghost are my favorite. The God Head or the Trinity or the Creator, Prophet and Holy Spirit, should not create division in the body of Christ as all things are possible with You and His Church is big enough to hold everyone who loves Him. You are big enough to hold everyone who loves You and also those who don't as well. You are an awesome God. I pray to You my soul to keep, as I lay me down to sleep. If I wake in sorrow and grief, make me strong in my belief. Wake me in the morning light. Be there my God in my sight. Speak to me all through the night. Help me know the right. I love You God. Good night. Amen. 

Thank you for Your love. Your love for me has helped me love myself. I am worthy of Thy love. I am ready for Thy help. I can receive Thy blessings. I can see Thy signs. I hear Thy voice. I soften my heart and turn to Thee for grace. I forgive myself as You have forgiven me. Thy joy fills my soul and enlivens my spirit. Pour on me all that I need to fulfill what Thy will. I will sleep well tonight, safe in Thy Kingdom. I will wake tomorrow with You on my mind. I love You. I worship You. I praise You. I see You. I know You. And You are Good. You are the Universe and I am part of You. You are Love and I am in Love. I will be the best me I can be. Help me be the best me You want me to be. I have faith in You. Thank you for your faith in me.  Q

Two days in a row without angst, worry, guilt. I will consider this a sign from You to my question. I will hold off treating my anxiety with drugs. Thank you for this. I know it's You helping me. I will keep seeking You even-tho You are right here in front of me. I will seek the truth. I will struggle for rightiousness and justice even-tho my efforts seem futile and my skills so inadequate to do the job at hand. My confidence is growing. With You by my side I shall put away my fears. I shall come here often to talk with You. These conversations are begining to have an effect. It is obvious to me when I reflect, my heart has softened, my soul renewed, here in this moment, mindful of You. Being present here in this moment is very special. I will not take it for granted. I will not look back and mourn. I will not seek the future and worry. I am here now with You. Thank You for being here. Thank You for helping me help them. Please grant me a restful night sleep. Be with me while I dre

I used to think it mattered what I called You. That I needed to speak to You with irreverence. To use only Thee and Thy and Thou and follow the rules of prayer to ensure You would listen to me. To give me a chance to be heard. To use the words of the prophets, to pray in the name of Your Son, to use His prayer, to pray for the right things, while I still plan to do most all of those things when I pray I realize now how important it is to just talk with you and listen. I realize now that we are always in a conversation, we always have been and we will always be conversing and it is up to me to pay attention, listen, and reply and listen some more. Thank you for being so patient with me. I love You too. Good night.

Thank you for this day. Thank you for calming my mind and allowing me some peace. Tonight, I Lay myself down to sleep, grateful in my heart for the time I had with my girls and wife. Thankful for my day at work. Thankful for the new opportunity. Thankful, tomorrow will come and I will be ready for now I know You are with me. Inspite of myself and my faults You love me. My best is good enough. My worst is OK. I'm free to be me and I see who I am. I am Your son. I am that I am. I am that, I am. I love you Dad. Amen and good night.

Bless me Father for I have sinned and wish to repent. Help me hear you. Bring me closer to You. Speak louder to me as I see how deaf I have become. Spiritually I am dull. Inside I am weak. My body aches and my soul grieves. I know You are there. I know You are with me. I know I believe I have faith and this makes me strong. I am weak. You have made me stronger. You have helped me overcome so much and for this I am grateful. Please help me overcome myself. Give me strength. Give me the power to do what is right. Give me the mind to know what is right. Give me the means to support my family. Make me worthy to lead my family. Give me the wisdom to guide my family. Give me the Love to share with them. Wake me in the morning and let me know I am highly favored and greatly blessed. Give me the energy to help my children and inspire my wife. Lead me not into temptation, deliver me from evil, show me the promised land, give me the keys to unlock every door. Let me drink as my cup runith ove
