Realizing who God truly is

Lord,

Thank You for answering my prayers.  It is You who answers prayers.  It is You who saves, heals, and delivers.  I am calm and it is You who have made me calm.  That time, I was anxious, I prayed and You answered.  I am thankful that no matter is wrong or seems to go wrong, You are there.  I realize that I like all of us have no right to rush You or tell You how to answer our prayers.  You are the Creator and not I.  I live on Your timetable and Yours alone.  I will have to answer to You.  Help me to realize that everyday is a day to consider the truth that I no matter what I'm doing where I am, I am living for You, the One who I will have to answer to for daily I live and "for daily" will I be judged.

Sincerely,

Seeing the light

Jesus,

Thank You.  Thank You for helping me see the light and the truth.  I feel so much freer than I have in a while.  The devil is a liar.  I have however, allowed myself to be distracted. Distractions seem harmless but so is sin for a moment.  I want to continue on the path that I You started me from yesterday.  Sometimes I forget that warfare is a part of a Christian's life.  There is no easy ride.  Being a Christian is hard.  Thank You, for joy truly does come in the morning.

Sincerely,

Jesus' wise counsel

Jesus,

Thank You for Your wisdom and Your counsel for that is Who You are.  You are Wise and You are Counselor.  I am asking for forgiveness for being so short-sighted.  I believe that You have given me the wisdom and the healing that I so needed it.  I remember when I prayed about being inspired by the woman with the issue of blood.  I guess in a way, that is how my prayer and my healing was supposed to have happened.  Like her, I have struggled with an issue that was on-going for many years, but she allowed You to be You.  You are not a doctor, but You are Healer.  You are not a counselor per se, but You are the Truth and the One who answers Prayer.  Thank You, for healing me.

In Your name,

Amen

Forgive is divine

Lord Jesus,

I thank You.  You are the only Way to the Father.  I thank You for saving me.  You have given me hope and have shown Love to me.  Thank You for dying on the cross for me.  Thank You for Your love and for Your forgiveness.  I have learned about forgiveness this morning.  I felt as if I was insulted this morning.  I have often been criticized for doing what others don't do.  The best I can do is to pray for them.  I will continue to pray for them. Forgiveness is the ultimate gift of love.  I thank You for yourself forgiving me.  May I remember to continue to forgive and show love in return.

Sincerely,

Thank you, Jesus, for allowing me to express myself.

Jesus,

Thank You.  Thank You for allowing me to express myself.  I expressed myself to tears.  Thank You for allowing my to not just express myself, but to cry it out.  Thank You, for giving me the opportunity to tell You what and how I really feel.  I am here to express my thanks and my love to You.  I feel like someone who is anew.  Now I truly know what love is all about.

Sincerely,

Dear Jesus

Dear Jesus,

Thank You for saving me.  I am healed and see and notice the evidence of such freedom.  However, I have been distracted.  I have a crush on a young pro wrestler who I have something not in comment with.  He is an avowed atheist.  Your word is dire for atheists and unrepentant atheists will have a dire end since they don't believe.  My prayer is that they so do believe, despite their views about You and about religion in general.  There are people who are or claim to be religious who have done horrible things.  I wish I could go back and change those things.  Christianity in particular is not an aberration to the world.  Christians should be a light to the world, not an aberration to the world.  I pray for his salvation as well as the fact that Your word says that I will be judged by You.  My judgment hopefully will be of the Judgment Seat of You and not the Great White Throne.  I wouldn't want my family, neighbors, friends, or strangers, many of who do not only claim to be religious, but who don't believe.  However,  how can I be a light and salt to the world when I am just as flawed as everyone else?

Thank You, Lord Jesus.  In Your name, Amen

I am healed

Dear God,

Thank You.  You have lifted a huge burden off of me.  You have been the One who has taught me many a lesson.  It is as if I have had a load that I no longer have to carry.  Thank You.  I am not worried; however, there are times today when I have failed to keep my mind focusing on You.  I cannot look back.  I can only move forward.  I don't feel guilty and I realize that I cannot change the past.  It has been said that the present is a gift.  So, that means the future will be brighter day of course.  Life is a course and a journey.  So far I am enjoying the ride.

Thank You, Amen
