Not only what you do, but who you are

Thank you for your tender mercies

Father God in heaven I praise you! Thank you for your tender mercies. Praise your Holy name! May we never forget your mighty acts. Thank you for setting the path straight before me. Please provide the strength, patience, love, & passion that will be needed to serve you in this new way. May I be pleasing in your [sight]. 

I love you father!

You are above everything in this world, mighty God

6-7-02

Jesus,

I thank you for being a God who is acquainted with sorrows. You are above everything in this world, mighty God, but You put on flesh, lived with us, and, Jesus, you suffered the pains of life so that now, when we face grief and sorrow, we can know that you understand - that you suffered too – that we can commune with You even in the lowest moments of our lives. My God – my God is acquainted with sorrow!

Father, I honor You as Lord of my life - of every part of my life. In every day, in every situation. I want to act, think, and speak in a way that brings you honor. And, daddy, I’m sorry for the times when my actions and thoughts and words have brought shame to Your Name. You are worthy of a lifestyle of worship from me —> and I want to bring You this. Amen.

In YOU I find my solace, my strength, my peace

June 14, 2008

On days that are difficult, where I really stretch to find my peace in a world of chaos, I come to You, Father. In YOU I find my solace, my strength, my peace, and my joy that I can find nowhere else. You love me so much and I love You so much more than words could ever express.

Speak to me Lord

For your child is here

Waiting on You

Unveil my eyes

Let me see You

Let me know You

Amen

Praise God in His sanctuary

Praise the Lord. Praise God in his sanctuary; Praise him in his mighty heavens. Praise Him for his acts of power, praise him; For his surpassing greatness. Praise him with the sounds of the trumpet, praise him with the harp and lyre, praise him with tambourine and dancing, praise him with the strings and flute, praise him with the clash of cymboles, praise him w/ resounding cymboles. Let everything that has breath praise the Lord. Praise the Lord.

 

Lord, I humbly offer myself to you as an act of praise. Take my weak, [lonely] spirit +

fill it with the everlasting joy + strength only you can offer. Forgive us all for our petty worries +selfish thoughts. May you convict us to the point of laying prostrate before thee. May we understand Your love, grace + mercy.

Praise the Lord!

I love you.

What a mighty and awesome God we serve!

Jesus-

Thank you for answered prayers! I give you all the glory and the honor for the things you have done. Continue to work on his heart and mold him with your perfect hands. May he continue to see the light at the end of the tunnel – your light – and be reminded of your everlasting, forgiving, life breathing love. I will continue to praise you all the days of my life. What a mighty and awesome God we serve!

Under one name by which we are saved – your child.

Somehow thank you just doesn't seem like enough

Lord, somehow thank you just doesn’t seem like enough. I feel so blessed, not only for the things you have given me, but for the chance to know you. You have given me this life, Lord, and help me to use it to honor you and you alone. I am nothing without you. But somehow I feel unworthy of you – I keep messing up and living for myself all over again. But you’re always there to pick up the pieces and make me whole again. Why do you love me so much? I cannot comprehend it. Let me never again take one single moment or opportunity for granted.

Amen.

How good. How awesome. How loving.

There is no one like our God! How good. How awesome. How loving. Who are we that He should love us so much? We have abandoned Him for our silly, selfish desires. And yet, He longs for us. What love! What love that knows no bounds. I love you Lord. Take this life. Use it as You will. I give you everything.
