Dear Lord

Dear Lord, I thank you for this day. 
I thank You for my
> being able to see and to hear this morning. I'm blessed
> because You are a forgiving God and an understanding God.
> You have done so much for me and You keep on blessing me.
> Forgive me this day for everything I have done, said or
> thought that was not pleasing to you. I ask now for Your
> forgiveness.
>
> Please keep me safe from all danger and harm. Help me to
> start this day with a new attitude and plenty of gratitude.
> Let me make the best of each and every day to clear my mind
> so tha t I
>
> can hear from You.
>
> Please broaden my mind that I can accept all things.
>
> Let me not whine and whimper over things I have no control
> over. Let me continue to see sin through God's eyes and
> acknowledge it as evil. And when I sin, let me repent, and
> confess with my mouth my wrongdoing, and receive the
> forgiveness of God.
>
> And when this world closes in on me, let me remember
> Jesus' example -- to slip away and find a quiet place to
> pray. It's the best response when I'm pushed beyond
> my limits. I know that when I can't pray, You listen to
> my heart. Continue to use me to do Your will.
>
> Continue to 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. I pray
> for those who are lost and can't find their way. I pray
> for those who are misjudged and misunderstood. I pray for
> those who don't know You intimately. I pray for those
> who will delete this without sharing it w ith others. I pray
> for those who don't believe. But I thank you that I
> believe.
>
> I believe that God changes people and God changes things. I
> pray for all my sisters and brothers. For each and every
> family member in their households. I pray for peace, love
> and joy in their homes that they are out of debt and all
> their needs are met.
>
> I pray that every eye that reads this knows there is no
> problem, circumstance, or situation greater than 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.
