Thank You, Lord Jesus

Lord Jesus,

You have saved me and have given me the assurance of salvation.  There are a lot I don't know about You.  I need to know more about You, since You are Savior, Lord, Deliverer, and Judge.  Thank You for the gift of the Holy Spirit.  Fill me with the Holy Spirit, who has convicted me of my sins.  I am not totally righteousness as I have not always lived holy.  I have struggled with sins, so I still do have sin in me.  I will not sin willfully for that is a horrible thing to do, since You are an all-consuming Fire.  You are the only One who can and will cast people into Hell.  Having said that, help me to not be afraid of what other people can do to me.  It doesn't help that I am an anxious person.  I am often fearful and nervous.  I have been burdened and heavy laden, so I ask for strength, peace, wisdom, and rest..  I also ask for comfort from the Comforter and remembering to focus on You, whatever is going on in the world.

In Your name,


Amen

God's view of seeing myself as beautiful

Father,

I often fail to see myself as a beautiful creation of Yours.  Help me not just to define real beauty, but to allow myself to be made over not just physically, but spiritually.  Forgive me, Father, for having such a negative attitude that is sinful, whether it is about me or about someone else.  I have not been appreciative and that is sad.  I cannot go back and change things, but I can change who I am and what I want to be.  Rather, it should be whoever who You want and created me to see.  I also ask that You would help me to see that not I was made an image as written in the Psalms.  I realize that I am a person who is fearfully and wonderfully made.  I now realize that I really have no clue what that actually means.  I have tried to apply this verse to me, and how I myself relate.  I also ask for forgiveness, healing, and cleansing, for I repent of all of my sins.  I also am in need of wisdom and understanding, for I am in need of these things.  More than anything right now, not only do I want to be Your child, but to also see myself as one as well.  This is a petition that I pray about with thanksgiving and without anxiety.  Therefore, I thank You in advance for answering this prayer, for I believe that You do liberally give wisdom.

In Jesus' name,


Amen

Healthy relationships

Lord,

I thank You that a change in mindset is good.  However, how do I know what to change?  I realize that the answer is a relationship, a healthy relationship with You, and also myself and others.  I need support, but I have come to realize that the Answer to my issues is in being patient and following Your word.  I thank You also for guiding me always through the power of the Holy Spirit.  I am thankful for answering my prayers in advance.

In Jesus' name,


Amen

Thank You letter

Father,

I thank You for helping me to follow Your word.  I have and am learning not to be anxious.  I however should have addressed my anxiety.  I guess I should have addressed it to the best of my ability.  However, I feel like I didn't get the handle on my anxiety that I should have.  Thank You for helping me.  I believe and know that You are the answer to my prayers because  of all that You have done.  I enjoy the talks that we have.  I would like to hear from You and hear from You more often. Thank You for forgiving me, loving me, hearing me, and taking care of me.  I appreciate it.

Sincerely,

Listening to each other

Lord,

Jesus has saved me, and I thank You for His salvation and His forgiveness.  I have learned about prayer today.  We are not to be anxious, but have a peace of mind and being thankful.  Being faithful is also something that I need to grant my petition.  I thank You in advance for answering all of my prayers.  Last night was a miracle, for I found myself disturbed by what I saw.  It was to the point of frightening.  Thank You, for it went away.  I have found myself and saw myself in the most degrading ways.  I have realized that I am special, and special to You alone.  Thank You for all that You have done for me, for I realize that You are truly there for me.

In Jesus' name,


Amen

A prayer of holiness

Lord,

I want a passion for You.  Help me to put You first.  Help me to make You my number one Priority in life.  Forgive me, for I realize that I have not always put You first.  I ask that You would show me what I need to do.  Help me to be holy in the way I think, in the way I watch and entertain myself.  I spend a lot of time with entertainment.  Help me, Lord not just to live holy.  Help me to become holy. Holiness is required for all believer.  I have not lived holy and have not done holy things.  May I see, touch, and think what is holy.  I realize that I have not always had holy thoughts and committed holy deeds.  Lord, forgive me for all of my sins.  Cleanse me from all of my unrighteousness.  I also ask that You would fill me with Your Holy Spirit.  My desire is to live for You, serve You, and love You with all of my soul, mind, and strength.  May I be still to hear Your voice.  Help me be patient and teach me kindness.  I want to be a person of good moral character as You have me to be.  Help me to be hopeful so that I would develop the fruits of the Holy Spirit.  Thank You for lending Your ear to me.  Thank You for guiding me with Your Eye.  Thank You for giving me a liberal dose of wisdom.  I say this in the name of Jesus Christ.  Amen.

Being a new mom

Dear God,

I would like to be a parent.  I even thought about adopting a child.  I am not sure I have the patience to take care of a child.  I can only imagine being nervous.  I would be afraid to drop him or her if they were babies.  I wonder how would I have disciplined my kid or kids. Right now, I can only imagine being a parent.  I would be a single mom who would have to give all of my time, all of my love, and basically all of my funds.  I ask that You would give me the wisdom to take care of a child and to not put myself first.  Help me to be patient and loving.  I wish that parenting came with an instruction work, but it does not.  I wonder if a child or children would be in the cards for me.  Is it Lord?  Is it? I ask that You will answer me in this situation and I thank You for doing so.

Sincerely,

Prayer about films that I have watched

Lord,

I have gotten inspired by watching a movie as of late.  Most movies are that good as far as in actual inspiration in my opinion.  I usually don't spend a lot of afternoons watching more than one film at a time.  I have finally decided to go ahead and watch "War Room" and "Home".  I personally liked the fact that they were both clean and wholesome films.  Kids can watch them and so can adults.  As an adult with OCD, I feel so much better in that I can look unto You, despite my condition.  I am so glad that I chose to watch these movies.  I was even more glad that I will finally get to reflect about something, anything that isn't a complaint or woe is me about my weight.  Father, I believe that there are no accidents with You and for this, I thank You.  You are worthy of praise.

In Jesus' name,  Amen

How I should feel about others, including myself

Lord,

I thank You.  Help me to be ready for Your return.  I truly don't know what it will be, but I hope that I will live a holy enough life to serve You and to live holy for You and for You alone whenever You return.  I know for a fact, You will return.  My prayers go to the families of all of the loved ones who lost their lives this weekend.  I love all of creation even through my struggle.  Help me to see what all of us are all about.  I have struggled about this because I just don't like some people.  There is no one who I hate thankfully, but there are just some people who irk me.  Lord, is not liking some people wrong?  Is others not liking me wrong?  I don't like this aspect of me.  Out of curiosity, I know that You loved the Pharisees and Scribes, but did you like them or dislike them as people?  Or did You dislike their deeds but loved them anyway?  I have no one that I truly dislike but there are people who I don't believe are good people. What should I do to change my attitude about others?  How can I not care what other people think?  Why does or should it matter to me?  I don't want to feel negatively about myself, but the truth is, I do?  Do negative feelings I have against some people reflect or are they reflections of who I am?  I don't like being or feeling this way.  I want and need to change towards other people and changes toward myself.  Lord, what should I do?  Where should I begin?

In Your name,


Amen

Prayer to find love

Father,

You have searched me, and you know me. You hear my thoughts, you know my needs and breathe your life into my dreams.

So I know that you understand my longing to find love. I know that you will lead me to meet someone special to walk with. I know you want to give me the desires of my heart. You are a loving Father, I can share my every hope, every feeling and every dream with you.
I pray that I would meet someone soon who I can love, someone who I can have a close relationship with, marry, and share my life with.

Thank you Father,

Amen.

Look back and being grateful

Lord Jesus,

I pray that I will be ready,  Make me wise and help me to be ready for Your return.  I will be among the ones who will be Judged, for I am not immune.  I was born and thus will be judged.  Your are the Holy and Judge.  Thank You for Your salvation and Your forgiveness.  My hope is that I will be judged along with those who have sacrificed and lived for and served You.  My life has been an interesting one to say the least.  Now that I look back, I didn't realize how interesting I actually was, and still is.  Thank You, for I have become more dependent on You.  Thank You, for I am and have become mature.  I also admit that I do complain too much.  I am thankfully Yours.  I give You thanks. My desires are to stay one of Your and to become more grateful.  I realize that being grateful is not a strong trait of mine.  For that, I am truly sorry.  I need to look around and thank You every chance I get.  So, I say, "Thank You".

In Your name, Amen.

Giving thanks for a relationship with God

Lord,

I would like for You to know me.  I want You to know me.  Forgive me for all of my sins.  I admit that I am afraid that I don't You the way You know me.  You not knowing me scares me.  It would be my fault.  I would like to live my life because You know me.  I ask for a relationship with You.  You are the most High and I want to thank You for dying on the cross for me.  I know that You are the Son of God and the Father rose You from the dead.  I thank You for saving me.  Thank You for loving me. Thank You for Your forgiveness.  Thank You for giving me peace of mind and I thank You for the gift of salvation.  I ask that You would fill me with the Holy Spirit, and I thank You for doing so.  Thank You for giving me the assurance that I am Your sheep.  Again, I thank You for saving me.

In the name of Jesus Christ,  Amen

Forgiveness and holiness

Lord,

Thank You for saving me. I ask for forgiveness and cleansing of unrighteousness.  I thank You for saving me.  I ask for myself to be and live holy.  Holiness is something that is important to me.  You have been so good to me, no matter what situation I am in.  I am okay now.  Exercise I now realize has been beneficial to me.  It is as if the thoughts are leaving me.  I hope that this will continue. Thank You for Your forgiveness.  Thank You for answering my prayers.

In Jesus' name,

Amen

Knocking on God's door

Father,

My desire for now is that I will not give up. I will keep on knocking.  I need help.  I need clarity.  I need wisdom.  Help me to continue to be patient.  Most of all, I need You.  Thank You for allowing me and giving me the opportunity to present my request to You.

In Jesus' Name,

Amen

In need of clarity

Lord,

I ask that You would give me clarity.  I ask for this.  I have sinned.  I have not talked to You in a while.  Okay, I have.  I have just talked to You.  Without asking amiss, I give You my anxiety.  Losing weight is hard.  I can do it and I will do it.  That is all I can say for myself.  Thank You for always listening to me and I thank You most of all for saving me, and for loving me.

In Your name,  Jesus,

Amen
