My spiritual "goals" and the persecuted church
Dear Heavenly Father,
In the name of Jesus, I thank You for saving me. You have given me grace and help in a time of need. I wish to be an obedient believer. Help me to abstain from all appearance of evil. I have got a lot of things to tell You about. I have allowed myself to get caught up in the things of this world.
What is so evil about entertainment? Anything that keeps me from glorifying You and causes me to err or rather concentrate on this world is evil in my eyes. I am supposed to live holy and thus be holy. I am supposed to be wise and be set apart from the world. I have come to realize that this is easier said than done.
Being a believer has not been easy. But like exercise there is no pain, no gain. It is something I have to realize since there are so many in the world who are believers who are having it harder. I pray that we as believers in America will remember them and pray for them. Many of them have already been martyred for their faith. I believe that I as an American, have no idea what is going on in the rest of the world.
It is so sad that too many hypocrites and other unrepentant people are in the church. Too many Americans are "playing church". It is a place for parties, fashion shows, and dinners to honor the pastor. I understand that people gather in church and it is an institution in some areas, but the call to be salt and light should be our first priority. There is just so much wrong in our churches here.
I cannot imagine having to be martyred for my faith. I may be called old-fashioned, narrow-minded, and bigoted, but I cannot imagine being kidnapped, raped, burned, or killed for my faith. Your Word gives a testimony of people who have had that happen to them. I pray for those believers who are being persecuted and oppressed for they will one day be free and they will receive their reward. I pray for unbelievers that they see these salts and lights of the earth and that the Holy Spirit will lead them to salvation and repentance.
May I remember them daily and keep my mind on the eternal. I can only imagine that that is what the persecuted church sees and that is they not have it hard but they are trying to keep their minds stayed on You. Help me to remember all of them, including the leaders in the nations where believers and those who do not know the Lord lack the freedom to worship You. Help me to see that there are caring people in the world who are not exploiting them, but are remembering them and are praying for them. May I be one of these people who pray without ceasing.
In Jesus' name,
Amen

Wisdom of God
Dear Heavenly Father,
Thou hast showed great mercy unto David my father, and hast made me to reign in his stead.
9 Now, O LORD God, let thy promise unto David my father be established: for thou hast made me king over a people like the dust of the earth in multitude. Gen. 13.16 ; 28.14
10 Give me now wisdom and knowledge, that I may go out and come in before this people: for who can judge this thy people, that is so great?
"Lord, give me wisdom that I may give You my all. Forgive me of all of my sins. You are worthy of praise. Thank You, Lord Jesus. In Your name, Amen."

Loving and being kind to myself
Dear God,
Help me see that the affirmations that I tweet are accurate and that with confidence I can apply them to my life. I feel so much better about myself since I have been writing these affirmations. Granted, I still have a self-esteem problem. The root is that I care what others think. What is most important is what You think. I have allowed myself to get caught up in the things of the world. I realized that getting out of that mindset is a struggle. However, it means that I wish to change.
I am making plans to include You though maybe I should not have written that. Of course I am supposed to include You. What I mean is in short, it is not good to get caught up in the things of the world and so stressed out. I ask for peace of mind and clarity. Lord, help me to see that little miracles do indeed happen everyday, especially with all of the light-bulb moments that I have had. Reveal more to me and I ask for a renewal of not just my mind but of my heart.
I have issues with my health and it seems everything else. I feel that if I keep my "eye" on You, then things will go well. I realize that things will not be easy but You are all I have. Lord, thank You for always guiding me with Your Eye. I ask for continued guidance for I am in need of wisdom. I need a sense of direction in my life. I give all that I have and all that I am to You.
Thank you,
Sincerely,
