Last night I didn’t sleep well, then I woke up with Vertigo, so saying it has caused me to be a little off this morning is an intense understatement. Not being able to focus and do my normal morning routine makes everything a challenge, and even though I am still a little dizzy, now here I am running just to catch myself. Lately it seems to be one thing after another. There are certain verses that I would like to have boldness in as well as comfort. As I reflect on what is written in *Luke 22:42 saying, “Father, if it is Your will, take this cup away from Me; nevertheless not My will, but Yours, be done.” 43 Then an angel appeared to Him from heaven, strengthening Him.* I want to be able to completely surrender every aspect of my life to God and be strengthened afterward. So with that in mind I would like to share my simple prayer and ask that all those who read these words pray for me as I pray for others who go through similar challenges. “Dear Lord, I thank You for this day even though today has gone sideways since my alarm went off. Nothing I felt I needed to do went as planned for one reason or another. I humbly ask that You please fill me with Your Holy Spirit and to give me peace in my troubling situations. Help me to live this day with an attitude of gratitude for the good and in the bad. Clear my mind of all that is unholy so that I can hear from You clearly. I’m blessed because You are a loving, forgiving and understanding God. You have done so much for me and You keep on blessing me in spite of who I am and how I fail You on a regular basis. Forgive me for everything I have done, said, or thought that was not pleasing to You. When I sin, help me to repent quickly, confess my wrongdoing, and receive the forgiveness I need so desperately. When this world closes in on me, let me remember Jesus’ example — to slip away and find a quiet place to pray. I know that when I can’t pray, You listen to my heart. Please continue to use me to do Your will. Bless me that I may be a blessing to others. Keep me strong that I may help the weak. Keep me uplifted that I may have words of encouragement for others who are suffering. Heal me of my pain and trauma of my past so that I can refresh those who are downtrodden. I pray for those who are lost and can’t find their way because I was one of them. I pray for those who don’t believe because I understand the doubt that they have. I pray that every eye that reads this knows there is no problem, circumstance, or situation greater than You, Almighty God. Every battle is in Your hands for You to fight. I pray that these words be received into the hearts of every eye that sees them and every mouth that confesses them willingly.” This is my prayer. In Jesus’ Name, Amen. My BeLoved, may the grace and peace of the Lord Jesus, the love of God the Father, and the communion of the Holy Spirit, be with you all. Amen. In Christ Love, douglas.
