Prayer Diary

Dear Lord
I thank you for this day
I thank you for being able to see and hear the beauty of your creations
I thank you for the blessings in my life

I humbly request your forgiveness for everything I have done, said or thought in contrary to YOUR will . . .

Please protect me, my family, my friends from all danger and support me with YOUR wisdom to accept all things that come my way with gratitude . . .

Let me not whine or whisper over things beyond my control;
Let me recognise my sin and acknowledge it as evil;
And when I sin, give me the courage to confess, and repent for my wrongdoings.

Give me strength, so that I could help the weak
Keep me upliftedd so that I encourage others.
Give me knowledge, so that I could provide direction to those who have lost their way.

I pray for all my near and dear ones to know you intimately
I pray for those misjudged and misunderstood to have mercy
I pray for peace, love and joy to dominate my family's and friends' lives,
and that all their needs be met.

Even in those moments when I don't pray, I ask YOU to listen to my heart
and continue to use me to do YOUR will . . .
When this world closes in on me, I pray that YOU make me go as clean as the way YOU created me.

May the words of this prayer be received into the hearts of every eye
that sees them, and that every mouth that confesses them willingly . . .
In Jesus' name

AMEN.
