February Prayers

2/1/2004

Dear Heavenly Father, I really need Your help. I hate going back and forth on whether I want to be married or if I should get a divorce. I know it is not right and that I should just make up my mind and give it 100% either way.

Lord I want to follow Your will and I know that it will be what is best for my family. So why is it so hard for me to hear Your voice about my marriage? Do I have unrealistic expectations about what a marriage should be? Am I trying to please everyone else with my actions? I know these statements are true but I still don’t know. God I just want to do what is right by You.

I am tired of living my life in bondage. I am tired of feeling defeated. I know in You I am free. Why do I feel like this? I have been sick so much. I think most of it is stress.

I really need friends around me but for some reason I’m so afraid to open up on more than a superficial level. I can give matter of fact statements but I am afraid to let my emotions show. Please, please help me. I don’t want to live like this any longer. I just want to be happy again. I don’t want to be rude and crass, but truly happy with joy that comes from You. I want to be at peace and comforted by the decision. I ask these things in Jesus’ wonderful and holy name amen.

Dear Heavenly Father, forgive me for not being more faithful to church attendance and for making excuses for not putting You first. Lord fill me with a joy and speakable and give me rest. Lord help me to be the person You want me to be. Lord, work in my marriage. Keep my family safe and draw us to You. Amen.

Dear Heavenly Father, thank You for lifting the burden off of me that I have been trying to carry unsuccessfully. Thank You for taking control back from me.

I lift up my sister in Christ to You Lord, I know that she must be very lonely and scared and afraid and said that she feels so far away from You and that things are happening that are beyond her control. Lord remind her that You are in control and You are there to comfort her and heal her and to make her complete. Lord her faith is such an encouragement to me. Lord work a miracle in her life bring complete healing to her. Your word says our rewards come from You in heaven for our faithfulness. Lord I ask that You bless her for her faithfulness through healing because I know that You alone will receive the glory and honor in her healing. Lord encourage her and her family. Let them feel Your arms of comfort and love around them. Bless them and draw them closer to You. Lord I ask that You would be with the whole family and help them to draw support from each other.

I asked Lord that You would work in my family as well, draw as close to Tou. These things I ask in Jesus name, amen.

Dear Heavenly Father, thank You for today and for rest and allowing me to get contacts instead of glasses.

Thank You for opening the doors for my client to get in the hospital and thank You for the family that transported her. Lord thank you for being in control even when I forget.

Lord continue working in my marriage. Continue working on me to be the person You want me to be. Place a hedge of protection around my family and help each of us to draw closer to You and work towards a more personal relationship with You. I ask these things in Jesus name amen.
