Dear Father God,

You are the one all knowing, sovereign God, our Father who we are so blessed to be given your unconditional love, endless grace, and new mercies every day.

This morning, I send my praises up for one thing that I have been asking for and am receiving and that is your work on MY heart! I feel the change. I have held grudges towards people who have wronged me. On Christmas Day, I felt it wash over me, the melting away of the bitterness and anger. But I have only recently fully realized the change as my heart is breaking daily for someone I held resentment towards and I am praying for them daily. I see you moving, Father, in so many ways and I truly believe that you many are coming to know you more and more daily. I have yet to bring one to you, that I know of, but Father, when I help someone to you it will be the biggest joy I will ever feel. I know and will never forget how you worked in my life, and continue to work in my life, and it’s such an overwhelming feeling to see others who do not know of your gift and what comes with accepting it and truly wanting them to experience that healing JOY and the peace that truly does defy understanding.

Please forgive me for the ways that I fail you daily, I will never be perfect and I will always be a sinner. And please forgive me for so many years just barely knowing you. However, I KNOW your plans are perfect and that you guide the ones who have accepted you and call on you as I did. You knew what I needed to experience in order for my eyes to open to see you there and for my ears/heart to open to your word.

Lord, lead me where you are taking me. Light the steps of my way and show me, reveal to me, what it is that you have designed for me.

No matter what comes or new trials I face, I will surely face them differently than I have in the past because now I know that not only will you hold me and lift me through it, in it there is a grander purpose, something designed to refine me. Those trials are not easy and to welcome them is crazy, but as much as I would long for an easy way the rest of my life, I long for your purpose more. I believe and trust in you that you will provide. Even now, as I face a heavy financial burden, I’m resting in knowing that you will provide and show me how to overcome it. I have your yoke and I am not burdened because you are helping me carry that weight.

Father, this prayer is all about praising you! I love you and I have so much gratitude in my heart even when I start to be consumed by the world, I remember and you pull me back into your arms.

I am experiencing a healing change and contentment in my current season and for that, I am grateful to you. I have needed rest. I have needed your help in releasing so many years of fight or flight and anxiety, feeling that I had to know what is coming so I could protect myself. I know now that I can’t do it alone or even at all and that all that time, I needed to just let you work. I called out to you, even with just the tiniest bit of faith and trust and with that tiny little seed, you are growing the biggest tree!

Father, now I ask for my friends and family who have various troubles:

Spiritual, Physical, Mental, need of clarity and guidance, comfort…please, please hear me for them and use my faith to heal them. I’ve seen you work!!

And for those who haven’t invited you into their lives, please open their eyes and hearts to you. Meet them where they are or bring them to the place where they would find you. Surround them with your children who will feed them your word and bless them with your love.

I know this is a long prayer, but Father, you are worthy of so much praise and gratitude! Be with me today and help me to overflow with the love and joy that you have placed on me.

I love you, YOUR will be done always as it is perfect!

🙏 Amen ♥️
