Thank You for forgiving me

Lord,

I am thinking about the lyrics from Hillsong.  I do indeed give You my heart and also my soul.  You alone are the only True God.  Thank You, for You are a Jealous God.  Now I understand what that means.  Forgive me of all of my sins; cleanse me from my unrighteousness.  I am like all others, are sinners.  I confess my sins for You.  I repent of those sins.  Help me and forgive me.  Thank You for answering this prayer.

In Jesus' name,

Amen

A Relationship

Lord,

For the past few days, all I could be was thankful.  Well, thank You.  My desire is to continue to be thankful and less selfish.  I love You and I enjoy our talks and our letters together.  I guess that it is what a real relationship with You is about.  I have become more honest because of You.  I have also become more wise.  Thank You.  You have been there for me all along.

Sincerely,

Letters to God

Thank You,

Father,

I thank You that I have become faithful and I have not become one who has become judgmental and hypocritical.  You have convicted me.  I realize that even if one cheats with just one man, no matter the circumstances, You love and forgive.  They are to repent of their sins, just as I am to repent of my own.  I have engaged in avoidance, which has made my world smaller.  I have not put You first in my life.  I have not made You my first Priority.  I found myself being entertained and being anything but free.  I felt like I was not free from medical and other problems.  Lord, I thank You for healing me, lifting my burdens, and for loving me.  You have made me free and I now cast my cares upon You. I finally know what it means to have an actual relationship with You.  Thank You.

In Jesus' name,


Amen

Being thankful

Father,

I thank You.  Thank You for waking me up this morning.  I am alive and I have learned a few lessons along the way this past week.  Thank You for the people in my life.  I became less apprehensive over the past few days.  I thank You for this.  I have prayed about learning to be thankful and I am grateful. Thank You for opening my eyes a few days ago.  I admit that I have struggled with just being myself and praying only when I need something.  You are here for me for You are everywhere.  No matter where I am at, You know what I'm feeling and know what I am in need of.  Thank You for the Holy Spirit has convicted of what I have been taking things for granted.  I need You and will learn of You. Thank You.

In Jesus' name,

Amen

The Holy Spirit's conviction

Father,

My desire is not just for Your return, but to be martyred for Christ.  I had doubts about being martyred.  To my great shame, I was afraid.  What if I became afraid?  Then I was reminded of Peter, who rejected Your Son three times.  Peter was in shame for his fear.  It was so sad that Peter denied Him.  Jesus however, forgave Him.  My prayer is that You would forgive me for my fear as well.  I ask for the power of the Holy Spirit to strengthen me and to convict me in times of trouble and fear. I also ask for the wisdom to understand what will happen in the future and for what is going on now.

In Jesus' name,

I thank You,  Amen

Having ocd

Father,

Help me to deal with fear, whether it is of the unknown or the known.  I hate uncertainty.  I wish that I was more certain about things but I am haven't been sure if it is the ocd or just a personal trait.  It is as if I have allowed the ocd to take over what I need to do.  It is the one that gives me direction to do things.  I have a hard time realizing that fiction is fiction.  It does seem to reflect badly on me. I want to change, with Your help, of course.  It is appreciated and I thank You for doing so.

In Jesus' name,


Amen

Growing relationship

Lord,

It is as if my relationship with You has grown.  I am so thankful and my thing is to be more thankful and more grateful more and more as time passes.  I do thank You that You saved me and forgiven me. You have cleansed me from my unrighteousness.  I thank You for the new day that I am living.  I also feel renewed from the break that I have had in creating blog pages.  It has been hard at times to...like right now.  I have the words in my mind, but I have difficulty expressing myself.  That is what I have been trying to say, or rather write.  I have been expressing myself in prayer, thanks, and through communication with others.  Thank You for giving me wise counsel and just for wisdom in general.

In Jesus' name,

Amen
