Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things.
Philippians 4:8
Thank You for Your presence in my life Lord. Thank you for everything You place in my life that tell me that I am Your beloved still.
Thank You for this brand new morning;. This new opportunity to see how You can make things right.
Thank You for my life. Even when I chose to reject it, even when I planned to end it, through it all, through those words and the terrible emotions, I know that You were weeping me with me, carrying me through wave after wave of despair, and bringing me over each ebb and crest.
Thank You for allowing me to feel as I have. Thank you for catharsis.
Thank You for tears of relief. Thank you for a clearing of souls.
Lord, I’m praying over him again today. I pray that every day he is getting enough rest and nourishment. I pray that his sinus is not acting up. I pray that his stomach is settling. I pray that his body will not betray him, that he continues to have strength for this daily walks. I pray that his immunity holds against any virus he encounters.
I pray for clarity for his mind. I pray that he figures out what he is seeking, and that he finds it. I pray that You direct him, again, to his purpose. And that he accepts You again, fully, wholly, with no compromises on Your truth.
I pray for his family. For Joy in New Zealand, for her struggles as a mother; for Yvana, for her growth into a young woman. They are far away, but fill their house with your presence so that it is a warm home for them, a place where they know You are blessing them.
I pray for Josie and her family in the Philippines. The entire country, together with the entire world, is having a rough time right now Jesus. But I know that You take each person in hand, each heart in hand, and You show Your love in specific ways. Show Your love to Josie and her family then God. Be their daily provenance, be their daily strength. Let them continue to hold to You, and Your truth, throughout all the trials they are experiencing.
I pray for my work today God. There are still so many things to do. There are so many documents to submit. I pray for focus, that I make look at the work at hand and work continuously until each is finished. I pray for wisdom, efficiency, speed, that they will be done, miraculously, as Your hand guides my hands, Your mind guides my mind.
I pray that every search string brings me to the right page. I pray for the rights words to search and the right words to type.
You are my God. And You never forsake Your children when they ask.
I can spend all day here in Your presence Lord! A thousand days, ten thousand, within Your courts will not be enough!
Let me be your daughter today. In the many roles that You given me in my life, let me be Your daughter today, strong, resilient, joyful, gracious, loving, and in love with You and You alone.
Thank You Jesus. Amen.
