My Prayers

Sometimes you just need a way to express what is travelling through the balckness of your mind. Instead we often keep locked inside all these things that usuallu only come out as groans and sighs that the Holy Spirit must interpret for us in prayer.

Father thanks for the talk with J. It's so good for me to hear things from her perspective. To hear of her struggles turns out to be an encouragement for me. Thanks for even the possibility of her coming for a visit, I feel so blessed to have friends that really would travel this far to see me. Amazing !
Please Father bless her, help her to live free from the baggage of her past, the hurt of her parents divorce (and for all my friends that have suffered this). Please lead them forward into a good future that you have laid out for them. Please don't let the sins of the parents affect them adversely today. Set them free please Father, to embrace the life they really do long for, but are afraid of. Help them not to fear love, to fear committment, to fear marriage because their parents marriages ended disasterously.
Father, thanks for the time at Beantrees (a bit of an emotional rollercoaster that one, but it was good) and thanks for T, for her kind heart and all her encouragement. Father help her to hand her worries over to you. For K and moving and her mum. Please give her rest and peace. Thanks for J N... Father you really have blessed me with good friends; that I can be both honest and vulnerable with - so Amazing and I'm learning so much.
Father lead me! B'shem Yeshua

I'm a right mess aren't I? I'm so untrusting... or at least I'm probably trusting in the wrong things. Father please forgive me. Purify my heart and mind, please Father. Help me to remember who you are. King of Kings, Lord of all creation, perfect in Holiness, working wonders. How could I even think that you might overlook something, or someone... and yet I do... Somehow I forget who you are, I forget your very nature. So much for saying I love you. I don't even know you really. forgive me Abba. I need you. I need to know you. I need to find my worht in you and you alone. I've turned my eyes off you too much lately so no wonder I am in a bit of a funk... no wonder I feel lost, I've taken my eyes off the way.

Father help me to shift my focus back where it belongs. Thanks for K's email today... I needed it. Please Father draw her close. Help her to see and understand clearly the path marked out for her. If it's time to move on (maybe it was years ago) help her to know it and not be afraid. Help her to step out in faith and move forward with her confidence placed firmly in you. She's feeling so defeated right now...not unlike myself. Father please take her burdens and bless her so much. Bless her with a knowledge of the way you love her. Please Father.
Gam bishfil Eiron, bevakasha Abba, Azor lanu!
I keep meaning to pray more for L&K's decision too and haven't been, but Father please grant them wisdom. Wisdom about her parents. Wisdom about the houses. Show them your good, pleasing and perfect will. Help both L & K to be so certain in this that they know, no matter what they can trust you in it and for all the details. Grant them a peace that passes all understanding please Abba -AMEN!

Now Abba, I have no idea what your thoughts are on all my activities and it's my own fault because I have failed to consult you really. Father please guide me, show me where you want me to expend my energies and how. Show me how you want to use me and help me to gladly surrender to your plan and your will. Please Father Bless me. Please, give me peace about the future and help me to place my trust in you. Father I love You...very incompletely, but I do love you. help me, however, to love you in spirit and in truth. To love yu with all my heart and soul and mind and please Father enable me, by Your Spirits power to lvoe my neighbours as myself.
Amen

Cast thy burden upon the Lord, and he shall sustain thee: he shall never suffer the righteous to be moved.

What a weekend, so different than expected... in a good way :D
Thank you for the safe trip and the good times with J and L. Father please forgive me complaining lately, I know that you really are so kind and merciful. It really does seem like one hard lesson after the other, and the situation made worse because I am missing my quality time with you. I am so glad for the time with B and L this weeknd, even in the midst of their frfustrations, despite that it's been good, and they have been so hospitable, even to have T over last night. Father help us to focus on your blessings and the be thankful...grateful for the lives you have given us, even with all their complexities. Father please help me tosee clearly the way you have mapped out for me, and not be afraid to walk in it. Bishfil anu, ve ha beit ha'kafe.. Ma Achshav??
Father thank you for giving me such joy in the last few days. Thanks for the talks with various strangers, like the Evelyn Charles girl and the woman in the British Imports Store, and F - etc. So interesting, entertaining even :D
Father please bless us indeed, enlarge our territory, keep us from sinning which hurts you, others, even oursleves. Please draw us into a deeper relationship with you.
B'shem Yeshua Ha Mashiach, Amen!
