Offering

Dearest Lord,

Thank you for this opportunity to praise you and worship you. You are the alpha and the omega. The beginning and the end. I honor you and glorify your name. Many times I realize that I have lived my life on my own. Many times, I have trusted my own strength and my own plans. I forget that without you all my plans will be put to waste. I offer my everything to you Lord. I want you to be the Lord of my life. Take away what is not pleasing to you. Lead me to places where you want me to go. Annoint me to be an instrument of your love and peace. Teach me your ways and let me rely on you. Favor upon favor will rise to those who entrust everything to you and live their lives to honor you. Lord, I humbly come to your presence and rely on your mercy and your grace. Not my works but your overflowing grace. You have given and I have received. Thank you for this gift. May this gift glorify you as I share this to others. This I ask in Jesus name we pray, Amen.

Missing You

Dearest Lord,

I miss you. My busy life took most of my time. I had my share of loss and gain. I even had some complains about this and that. At the end of the day, I want you to know that without you, I feel empty. I feel weak. I feel weary. I realize that without you, I am nothing. I feel meaningless and all burned out. I miss being in your presence where you can put your arms around me and say that everything will be alright. Father God, I just want to spend time with you. I confess with all my heart that I need you. I need your strong hand to assure me that you are here. I need your humble heart to show me my place. I need you to remind me that you have created me and you know my purpose. You know me more than I know myself. Lord, if there are issues in my life, lead me to settle them once and for all. Let me know what I need to change or improve that I may be a living sacrifice to you. That all those around me will know that they need you too. I am desperate Lord, come and reveal yourself to me. Let my plans be entwined with yours. From the depths of the earth, I do not know what came of me that I gave up all that I had to just sit here and think about what you want me to do. Father, reveal your righteous right hand. Hold me and bring me to a higher level of faith so that I may know what your plans are for me. Lead me Lord. This I ask in Jesus' name. Amen.

Take Over

Heavenly Father,

Thank you for this life. Thank you for waking me up. I praise you for giving me this opportunity of sharing my prayers online. Let this be a start of a daily routine. A daily journal of my journey with the life you have given me. I pray that this will be an instrument of your unfailing love. I pray that you will give me the grace to be bold and disciplined to take each day as a step to recognize that without you, everything in life is meaningless. I pray that you will intervene and speak to the hearts of those who read and pray with me.

Lord I pray that you will heal those who are sick, that you will comfort those who are broken hearted and that you will give strength and hope to those who are weary and who thinks that their life has become useless. I claim your power and your wisdom that they may see that all their troubles and struggles that they are going through will be a source of enlightenment and a time for them to entrust everything to a BIGGER GOD. I pray that you will your lay your mighty hand to touch the hardest of hearts and assure them that they are not alone and that you understand what they are going through. I pray for those who read this young and old, struggling or not, weary or strong, trusting or doubting.. May your grace be upon them and may you give them your peace. You Lord are the source of everything. I claim that you take over. We offer our lives to you. We lift up everything to you. We cannot do this on our own. Take the wheel Lord, lead us to places where you want us to go. This I ask in Jesus' name, Amen.
