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

Overwhelmed
Dear God,
Today I am feeling a bit overwhelmed. one minute I think I have got it and I am on top of my game and the next minute I am just as lost as when I started out. Teach me lord to take it one step at a time and to keep trusting in you. To know that all things work together for the good of those that trust in you. I pray for your strength. Good Night.
Amen

Favors
Dear Lord,
It seems that I ask you for alot of favors. I woke up this morning asking for a favor that was undeserved then later in the shower I noticed I was asking for another small favor. I don't know how many small or big favors I ask you through-out the day. Sometimes I wonder is there a bank of mercy and does it ever run out or go into deficit. Although my heart knows the answer my mind often wonders. Thanks for the ones you have answered so far. Please remember that normally those undeserved favors are asked in desperation to a savior I know is merciful.
Amen

Words of the Heart
Dear Lord:
"Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heard be acceptable unto your sight oh lord"
Psalm 19:14
How much of what I pray is honest? Are the words that I am speaking coming from my heart or from my head? Father let me speak honest words of true feelings rather the rehearsed lines. You know my heart and my inner most thoughts. Help those thoughts and desired be more focused on you and your will. Even this request let it be my earnest desire rather then a fancy way to fill a post. Lord I am still waiting.
Amen

Expectations
Dear Lord,
I am waiting for a response to my prayers. Although to be quite honest I haven't been praying too hard. I am not anxious. I have found that the things that I am least anxious about or that I don't expect for you to do, you make happen in miraculous ways. I find that I have a weird memory problem whenever it comes to remembering your goodness in my time of need. I trust you. Teach me to keep trusting you. Thanks for your love.

Letter from a constant rock tapper
Dear Lord,
I find it hard at times to understand your immeasurable forgiveness. Can you really forgive me for things that I have repeatedly done wrong? Your mercy makes me marvel. Sometimes I think back to Moses and the promise land. He tapped the rock rather then do what you asked and was not permitted to step into the promise land after a forty year journey. I am more then sure I have thrown the rock at times, done far worse then Moses, yet you are much gentler with me. God I thank you for remembering my fragile state when dealing with me. Thank you for understanding and loving me and for never giving up, even when I seem like a lost cause.
Amen

Good Intentions
Dear Lord,
Sometimes I want to be the best that I can be. I want to achieve everything I can for your kingdom and have all of the fruit and gifts of the spirit. Sometimes I LOVE you so much that I can't describe it. But dear lord, that's not how I always feel. Sometimes I feel lost and far away from you or maybe alone. Teach me dear lord to be the best I can be for your kingdom at all times and not just in spurts. Teach me to love you with all that I am even when I don't feel like it. Good Night.
Amen
