Giving my all to the Lord

Lord,

I thank You for giving me wisdom and guidance.  I am tired of struggling,and making plans.  By the way, what does Your word say about my struggle to lose weight?  I am inspired to lose the weight and keeping it off.  I ask for a change in my priorities and a change in my mindset.  I ask You for Your help, Lord.  I am tired of the struggle.  My weight goes up and down.  I take full responsibility for all of my actions.  I am no longer of failing.  I guess failure goes with the territory.  I just want to lose weight.  Mentally, it seems easy.  However, actually trying to do so has been hard.,  Lord, I know that there are others who are in need.  Others are being persecuted because of race, color, and faith.

Remind me of those who have and are without.  Help me to be grateful for all that I have.  Forgive me for not always thinking about and showing not enough for my fellow man or woman.  How can I say that I am a Christian when I first about having doubts.  I sometimes wonder if Jesus does heal. I do wonder why You sometimes You don't help me or heal me.  I have been inspired by the woman with the issue of blood.  Help me when it comes to my faith; increase my faith and understanding.


Give me wisdom when it comes to Your world.  Remind me that the world is greater than my problems.  However, I am to give You all of me.  Make me a wise person when it comes to what I and everyone needs.  I thank You and I praise You for all You have done for me.

In Jesus' Name,


Amen

Spending sprees

Lord,

I don't know why I have gotten this rush from spending money.  I do love to give, but I cannot take the fact that I don't know what is going on with me.  Lord, help me to overcome this anxiety that I had.  Help me to see people, including myself, and the world who we all are.  I know that we are sinners who are in need of a Savior, for the Savior is good.  We are without Him, not true.  I wish to be made perfect in love..  Help me, for I just have this rush and I fail to see why I sometimes do the things I do.

Lord, I thank You for Your answer,

In Jesus' name,

Amen

Pouring my heart out

Heavenly Father,

I ask for Your forgiveness.  I am a sinner who will always be need of You.  I love You and I want to thank You.  Help me to see myself the way You see me.  It took me long enough to get to this point, however.  I want to start making You my first Priority.  I also want to start learning and not taking anything for granted.  I want to be different.  I want to be better.  I want to be myself, how You created me.  I have been so anxious, worried, and fearful for so long it is as if I have lost pieces along this journey of life.  I don't know anyone who can relate to what I am going through.  Can Jesus and I relate to one another in that sense?  Jesus paid the price for our sins.  I also have been having doubts for years about being saved.  I ask for salvation.  I want to be saved by the Lord Jesus Christ.  Prayers aren't incantations I know, but that is how I seem to pray.  It is hard to talk to You sometimes much less other people.  I may actually have issues with communicating to other people.  I seem to have lost sight with who I am and who You have created me to be.  I want to know what and where I need to begin in this journey.  I feel trapped and alone.  It is as if I am afraid and the fear and anxiety held me back.  You know all of my needs and for that, I am thankful.  I seek You first, Your Kingdom, and Your righteousness.  Jesus, what must I do to be saved?  What must I do for my whole household to be saved?  Your answers and Your loving kindness are greatly appreciated.  Thank You, Lord.

In Your name, Jesus,

Amen

How I am doing right now

Lord,

Take away all of my fears and anxieties.  Oh yeah, I ask that You also take away my worries. Right now, I feel so overwhelmed.  There was a time when I felt overwhelmed, even about what I need to do to be healthy.  Being overwhelmed is the reason why I have been struggling to lose weight.  I do want to be healthy, but I have others reasons to want to lose weight.  I am more motivated than ever to lose weight.  How do I overcome being overwhelmed?  I need help in this area.

Thank You for Your forgiveness and help in this area.

In Jesus' name, Amen.
