Dear Lord, help me to start this day with an attitude of gratitude and praise You for who You are and all that You do seen and unseen. Help me to clear my mind of the noise and distractions of the world so that I can focus on Your plans for my future and hear clearly from You in that still small voice. Let me not whine and whimper over things I have no control over. When You call me to do something, no matter what it may be, help me to be obedient whether I want to or not. Please help me to walk in purity of mind, body, and spirit, and more importantly the fear of the Lord. Forgive me for everything I have done, said, or thought that was not pleasing to You. Help me to continue to see sin through Your eyes and acknowledge it as evil, and when I sin, let me repent quickly, and confess with my mouth my wrongdoing, and receive the forgiveness and peace that I so desperately need that only You can provide. You have done so much for me and You keep on blessing me in spite of who I am and what I do. Help me live out what is written in *Psalms 19:14 Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in Your sight, O Lord, my [firm, impenetrable] Rock and my Redeemer.* I believe that You change people and You change circumstances. You have done that for me time and time again, so please use me to help others see You in their lives and difficult situations. Please keep my loved ones safe from all danger and harm and help them endure what they are going through. When this world closes in on me, help me to remember Jesus’ example — to slip away and find a quiet place to pray, and spend time with You. I know that it’s the best response when I’m pushed beyond my limits. I know that when I can’t pray, You see my heart and know my needs. I pray for those who are lost and can’t find their way because I remember being there. I pray for those who are misjudged and misunderstood because I feel that all too often. I pray for those who don’t know You intimately because lately I have felt at a distance from You. I pray for those who don’t believe. But O Lord, I THANK YOU that I do believe. I pray for all my sisters and brothers in Christ to stand firm in the faith and for every family member in their household. I pray for peace, love, and joy in their homes, also that all their needs are met and that they give You the glory. I pray that every eye that reads this, knows there is no problem, circumstance, or situation greater than You, God Almighty. Every battle is in Your hands for You to fight. I pray that these words be received into the hearts of every person that reads them and every mouth that confesses them willingly by the power of the Holy Spirit. This is my prayer. In Jesus’ precious and powerful name, Amen. My love be with you all in Christ Jesus. 

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. HE>i. pastord.blog
