Thank You, Lord Jesus

Lord Jesus,

You have saved me and have given me the assurance of salvation.  There are a lot I don't know about You.  I need to know more about You, since You are Savior, Lord, Deliverer, and Judge.  Thank You for the gift of the Holy Spirit.  Fill me with the Holy Spirit, who has convicted me of my sins.  I am not totally righteousness as I have not always lived holy.  I have struggled with sins, so I still do have sin in me.  I will not sin willfully for that is a horrible thing to do, since You are an all-consuming Fire.  You are the only One who can and will cast people into Hell.  Having said that, help me to not be afraid of what other people can do to me.  It doesn't help that I am an anxious person.  I am often fearful and nervous.  I have been burdened and heavy laden, so I ask for strength, peace, wisdom, and rest..  I also ask for comfort from the Comforter and remembering to focus on You, whatever is going on in the world.

In Your name,


Amen

God's view of seeing myself as beautiful

Father,

I often fail to see myself as a beautiful creation of Yours.  Help me not just to define real beauty, but to allow myself to be made over not just physically, but spiritually.  Forgive me, Father, for having such a negative attitude that is sinful, whether it is about me or about someone else.  I have not been appreciative and that is sad.  I cannot go back and change things, but I can change who I am and what I want to be.  Rather, it should be whoever who You want and created me to see.  I also ask that You would help me to see that not I was made an image as written in the Psalms.  I realize that I am a person who is fearfully and wonderfully made.  I now realize that I really have no clue what that actually means.  I have tried to apply this verse to me, and how I myself relate.  I also ask for forgiveness, healing, and cleansing, for I repent of all of my sins.  I also am in need of wisdom and understanding, for I am in need of these things.  More than anything right now, not only do I want to be Your child, but to also see myself as one as well.  This is a petition that I pray about with thanksgiving and without anxiety.  Therefore, I thank You in advance for answering this prayer, for I believe that You do liberally give wisdom.

In Jesus' name,


Amen

Healthy relationships

Lord,

I thank You that a change in mindset is good.  However, how do I know what to change?  I realize that the answer is a relationship, a healthy relationship with You, and also myself and others.  I need support, but I have come to realize that the Answer to my issues is in being patient and following Your word.  I thank You also for guiding me always through the power of the Holy Spirit.  I am thankful for answering my prayers in advance.

In Jesus' name,


Amen

God's Love Letter for you


Lord,

Thank You for Your love for me.  Thank You for Your help, love, and the fact that You are hopeful.  I love You, too, Lord.  I want to be perfected, changed, always repenting.  My desire is to be ready for Your return.  May I not forget who I am in Jesus Christ.  May I take time for You by prayer and Bible reading.  Again, Lord, I thank You of Your love for me.

Sincerely,

Thank You letter

Father,

I thank You for helping me to follow Your word.  I have and am learning not to be anxious.  I however should have addressed my anxiety.  I guess I should have addressed it to the best of my ability.  However, I feel like I didn't get the handle on my anxiety that I should have.  Thank You for helping me.  I believe and know that You are the answer to my prayers because  of all that You have done.  I enjoy the talks that we have.  I would like to hear from You and hear from You more often. Thank You for forgiving me, loving me, hearing me, and taking care of me.  I appreciate it.

Sincerely,

Listening to each other

Lord,

Jesus has saved me, and I thank You for His salvation and His forgiveness.  I have learned about prayer today.  We are not to be anxious, but have a peace of mind and being thankful.  Being faithful is also something that I need to grant my petition.  I thank You in advance for answering all of my prayers.  Last night was a miracle, for I found myself disturbed by what I saw.  It was to the point of frightening.  Thank You, for it went away.  I have found myself and saw myself in the most degrading ways.  I have realized that I am special, and special to You alone.  Thank You for all that You have done for me, for I realize that You are truly there for me.

In Jesus' name,


Amen
