Dear Lord,
If this is the cross you wish for me to carry
I will gladly bear this weight
it’s not even a fraction of the burden you had to bear
and though the weight is heavy
and though this burden hurts
grant me the grace to bear it with ease
to carry it in serenity and peace
if this is where i meant to be
in the middle of hearts breaking
hearts in the process of healing
then please fortify my own
grant me the courage
in the face of fear,
when the task at hand seems bigger
than what I know I am capable of handling
take my own heartaches into your hands
so that my own pains are the least of my worries
bless me with the wisdom to know what to say
the right words, the most creative ways to say it.
if the gift of words is the vocation you choose for me
allow my words to always speak of love
that my written word, that this blog be a blessing
that who ever reads this feels better about themselves, knows their own beauty
the beauty of the world we live in and being alive
I ask for patience, the ability to wait, to work however long it takes
until in love they find faith.
all these I ask not for me but for the greater good
in the name of God
Giver of life, remind me that I’m alive today because you have given me the gift of life. I’m alive and able to write this because you have chosen to give me at least one more day on earth. Help me to enjoy today and any other days that you may choose to give me before you call me to my heavenly home.
Amen.
Lord, I thank you for this beautiful morning, for this new light of day before me. I pray that through this light you may let me see your own ray of sunshine that will elighten my mind and strengthen me to pursue your will for this day. Lord I do not ask for an easy day just for your guidance and strength to be able to move despite all odds that I could be up against. Fill my heart with your beautiful rays of sunshine. Shine in me Lord Jesus and shine through me, so that all the people that I will come in contact with today may feel your loving presence in my spirit.
Amen.
My Lord God,
I have no idea where I’m going. I do not see the road ahead of me. I cannot know for certain where it will end. Nor do I really know myself and the fact that I think that I am following your will does not mean that I am actually doing so.
But I believe that the desire to please you does in fact please you. And I hope I have that desire in all that I am doing. I hope that I will never do anything apart from that desire. And I know that if I do this you will lead me by the right road though I may know nothing about it.
Therefore I will trust you always though I may seem to be lost and in the shadow of death I will not fear, for you are ever with me, and you will never leave me to face my perils alone.
Amen.
