It is well

Dear Lord,

Teach us to let it be well. Even if hurts, even if we don't understand, and especially if it is difficult. Give us the strength and the guidance we need. Thank you for your peace.

Amen

Dear Lord,

I feel far away from you today, I don't know why but I feel as though I am going through the motions and lacking your presence in my life. I cam across a thought today. A kid from church asked if I was going to be attending the morning meetings I replied that I would not be because I will be studying, he then prompted that I should have faith that God will help me and that I should show up. In my head I was thinking "gee I really wish that was the way it was, but really its quite different". I became angry at my lack of trust. What good is a christian that doesn't put their faith in the one that saved them. God, teach me to trust you, remind me that I love you. Keep me away from distractions that pull me further from you.

Amen

Dissappointment

Dear God,

Today I am a bit angry, I am sad, I prayed to you for deliverance, and I feel as though I didn't pray at all, instead of doing well or achieving victory, I failed worse then I have before. I am afraid to pray. I am afraid to trust, or believe or hope. I want to keep having faith, but i keep getting disappointed. I am scared. Tell me what to do.

Amen

Prayers Unheard

Dear Lord,

Sometimes I can't help but think that all of the goodness in my life is not because of my prayers but rather, others' prayer on my behalf. Don't get me wrong, (I highly doubt that you ever do) I am very grateful for these prayers and their effect of abundance on my life. My problem is my fear that MY prayers are being unheard. Father I want to love you. I want to be yours. I want you to be proud of me. But i fail almost all the time. God I want you to hear my prayers. The ones I say at night or in the shower or in the car or when no one else is listening. I want you to provide for me because I prayed and because you are MY God , MY Rock, and MY savior. I am blessed beyond words because of others' prayers and you bless me because of your love for them BUT I WANT TO BE BLESSED BECAUSE OF YOUR LOVE FOR ME!!! Because I am your child. I want you to hear me. Teach me to be less of a failure and more of a prayer warrior. Teach me to draw near to you. Teach me to love and be loved. Good night dear Jesus.

Amen
