Just tired

Lord,

I am in a funk right now and no matter what I am doing, I cannot get over it.  I want to do well, but lately, I have wondered what my motivation is.  I am scared and I know that is why I am procrastinating.  I remember the daily Bible studies, the Bible reading, physically putting myself together, despite a bad diet, and seeming happier moments.  I want that back.  It is as if parts of my life is gone.  I miss that part of my life.  In fact, I miss being a somewhat more interesting person with a more interesting life.  I miss so much and I am missing out.  I have so much I want to do.  I am just tired and confused about what I want to do.  I hope to feel better but I am not the happiest person in the world.  I am just out of it right now.  Help me, Lord.

In Jesus' name,


Amen

Father, I thank You

Dear Father,

Thank You for the day that I had.  I know that life is too short.  You are, however, watching over me. Thank You for watching over me.  I love You, Lord.  My hope is that I have been obedient to You.  I have always needed Your guidance and Your wisdom.  I am and don't desire to, be so self-centered that I forget that there is a big world out there.  Sometimes there are things that are bigger than I. There are also suffering people in the world.  I am reminded of those who have lost their lives today. I concern myself about their eternal destiny.  My hope is that my eternal destiny will be filled with worship and a lack of pain.  I hope to be with You forever and to take my loved ones with You.
Thank You, in advance, for answering all of my prayers.


In Jesus' Name,


Amen

Why am I here?

Lord,

I thank You for answering my prayer in advance.  I know that we all live a short life but on your time. Even if one lives to 100, our life is but a vapor.  I feel like sometimes, I have always accomplished what I wished to accomplish.  Nor have I ever felt like I didn't waste my time.  I have no clue, but I do wonder what You do have in store for me.  Maybe that last sentence didn't have to be said, but why am I really here?  What is my purpose for being here?  What did You create me for?  Why did You create me?  Really.  I have to ask,  In the short life I have lived, I feel like I am wasting it.  It took me until now to realize that.  Lord, I ask that You would show me what to do and how to live. I often hear that what I need to know is to look into scripture.  But where in Your Word does it say anything about my purpose or Your specific will for my life?  Now I wonder at my age, if it is too late to pursue what I wanted to pursue.  Help me, Lord, and thank You for answering this prayer also in advance.

Sincerely,

Lord, help me

Lord,

Help me to think about my own plan to lose weight.  My weight loss program should be easy but it needs a few tweaks.  I know that they are in calories.  Where do I begin and how can I at least try to lose weight without staying in the cycle of dieting?  Everything is a diet.  Everything is a cycle.  It is as I have this obsession this need to succeed.  It will be such a scary thing if I fail.  I hate to fail.  I just hate it.  Lord, help me.  I thank You, Lord, that my hope is that I did not ask for amiss and in this prayer, that has already been answered.

In Jesus' name,


Amen

Sinning against....

Heavenly Father,

I am a sinner of need of You.  I don't think of myself as a saint.  Forgive me of all of my sins.  Your Word says, if I were to ask in His name, then He will do it.  Father, I have sinned against You.  I have sinned against my own body and I don't know what I need to do to overcome it.  Cleanse me from my unrighteousness.  I knew my sin was wrong, but I am afraid that I will never be able to overcome this sin.  Lord, I also ask for the strength to overcome this deed.  Grant me a lead not unto temptation, but unto victory.  I pray this and ask this, and I thank You for Your word.


In Jesus' name,


Amen

Weighty issues that I am tempted to get overwhelmed by

Lord Jesus,

I thank You for answering my prayers.  I don't know what to do in order to lose weight.  I do eat unhealthy and I don't exercise.  I take full responsibility for all of my actions.  I want to truly change those poor eating habits and my lack of exercise.  I don't wish to stay inspired to dance or use equipment.  I want to do so.  I realize that I have tried this before but I have grown tired of the struggle.  I have also been overwhelmed.  I don't want to be right and do right all the time.  I realize, however, that it is about doing the right thing.  That is life.  I just wish I could do such.  I want to start and start now.  I can now afford it now, but should I even buy anything?  Where should I begin?  I know where to end, but I don't know where to begin?  I need help when it comes to beginning to eat better and to practice other good habits.  All I want is to do better when it comes to my health.

Sincerely,

Being overwhelmed

Lord,

I thank You for taking my issues today.  I have been overwhelmed whenever I think about certain subjects.  Last night, I just couldn't take it anymore.  Often I get overwhelmed.  I would like to be able to get things done, but it is hard to when I'm overwhelmed.  I guess I stress out easily.  I wish it wasn't that way.  I wonder why I get so stressed out so easily. I am starting to get overwhelmed just penning this letter.  I get overwhelmed at even the littlest thing.  It is amazing that I am not doing worse physically being so overwhelmed.  I am just thankful that You have been answering my prayers.

In Jesus' name,


Amen
