Thank You again, Jesus

Dear Jesus,

I thank You for listening to me today.  I believe that the best prayers are the prayers in which a person can unleash.  I also thank You for answering my prayers.  Thank You for loving me and for taking care of me.

Pain in my body

Jesus,

You are Lord.  You are also Lord, Savior, and Healer.  Even though I do count my blessings, I am in pain as well.  I am and have not been, 100 percent.  I ask that You would heal me.  No, really.  I realize that I could receive sympathy so yes, there is a payoff for having pain.  However, I have to realize that the pain could be a lot more serious than I thought.  I don't want that to happen to me.  I need help and I ask for Your healing.  I thank You in advance, for Your healing.

In Jesus' name,

Amen

Jesus, I need You.

Lord Jesus,

Forgive me for my sins.  I have not been as close to You as I should have.  I don't only want to talk or write to You when I need You.  I realize, ironically, that I am in need.  Not only do I ask for a closer walk with You, but to not forget You.  I am called to follow Your will and I have failed.  I have failed many times and for that, I am sorry.  I feel like I am a failure and a disappointment.  I have been wrong before and I realize that that is always going to happen.  Thank You, for You have the power to forgive and the power to change.  I ask You, therefore, to forgive me, and give me the clarity that I so need.  I need to change and I want to change.  I also ask that You would change me and make me whole.  I want to be ready for Your return.  I want nothing more than to be a repentant, obedient, spirit-filled Christian.  That has been goal in life, to live for You and serve You all the days of my life.  Lord, give me the assurance of my salvation and take not the Holy Spirit from me.  Show me what I need to do as to how to live.  Continue to use me as a blank canvas, for that is what I am.  I promise that I will follow You.  I thank You that you have answered my prayer.

In Your name,


Amen

Presence

Dear Jesus,

I was down.  Now I felt like I am out.  I am not suicidal or anything like that, but I am depressed in the way that I am blue.  Is this what my life has amounted to?  I am often medicated and fatigued.  Today I was down and depressed.  I can't take my life and surroundings anymore.  I want to move.  I want to be independent. I want to leave but I feel like something is holding me back.  For years, nothing has changed.  Even if I say or do something, will things change?  I am not holding my breath.  I feel like I am being controlled and so is everyone else in the house.  There is a presence that is holding us all back.  I need clarity and guidance in this situation.  I need Your help, for I am pouring my heart out.  I need to pour my heart out.  Lord, I need wisdom in this matter.  I know that I will receive wisdom and for that I am thankful.  I would like for this presence to just go away and never come back.  There is no peace in this home.  I am just not happy.  I need You.

In Your name,


Amen

My concern

Lord,

As You know this morning, I have expressed my cares and concerns about living here.  I cannot take it anymore.  I believe that there is a bit of control from "behind the scenes".  I just cannot take it anymore.  I am not being abused, but I feel like that I am not the only one who feels used sometimes.  I wish that things would change, but I don't know how.  Give me clarity on the situation.  I ask this because maybe, just maybe I can say or do something.  I just cannot take it anymore.  Lord, help me.  Lord, help us all.

Sincerely,

Grateful and thankful

Lord,

I am finally thankful that there is a wide, wide world out there to explore.  I finally realize that thinking outside the box could help me.  It would do wonders for me.  I am glad to be doing and find things that I normally wouldn't do or find.  I have all of these goals and now I can learn how to make goals and be realistic about them.  I am thankful for this day and every day.  My desire is to be more grateful and thankful for all days. I have to learn how to be more grateful myself.  I prayed the wrong prayer of gratefulness.  I ask for clarity in my prayers and I ask for guidance.  Give me the wisdom to be thankful for looking back, I have much to be grateful.  Thank You for answering my prayer.

In Your name, Lord,

Amen

My rant and prayer

Dear Heavenly Father,

I pray that all will be well in the house.  So far, I ask and pray for healing, physically, spiritually, and emotionally. Give me clarity on the situation at hand.  I need to know that my eyes can be and will be opened to what is really going on.  I have no idea how to change things around here.  I feel trapped and alone sometimes.  There is something wrong in this house.  There is no real life or laughter among the four of us here.  I have no idea what to think, feel, do, or even say about this situation.  Lord, help us.  Do a mighty work in our lives and in this home.  I have not been happy here yet I am happy here.  Things have gotten so anxiety-ridden for me, that I love isolating myself and taking myself out of the situation.  However, I realize that I do need to go out more.  I have no way to leave.  I don't have enough credit, income, references, or even transportation.  I personally am stuck in the situation I am in.  I feel as though the world has left me behind.  I have prayed about this often.

Lord, I don't know what to do.  I ask that You would come through for me.  I would like to change things but I don't know how.  I would like to say and do what I want to say, but where do I begin?  There is no real peace in this home despite how peaceful it may seem to much of the outside world.  I feel like I am being taken advantage of.  I am just tired.  I know that this is not all about me, but I am writing You this because I am just telling You how I really feel about the situation.  It has been too long.  I have no real time to truly be alone.  There is a growing sense of fear and anxiety that is made worse by the lack that is going on here.  The root of the problem has been around for years and it seems that it would never end.  I am praying and making a petition to You: change it.  Change us.  Change the situation at hand.  I need You to answer me.  I need immediate assistance in this manner.  Too much has gone wrong despite how we seem to get along, I know something is wrong.  Lord, help us.

I thank You for answering this prayer.

In Jesus' name,

Amen
