Thy will be done, Lord!

Lord, my will may not be Your will and Your will may not be mine but still, Your will is what’s important. Thy will be done!

I have always believed that you know what is best for me. I have prayed hard for what I think is best for me, but if You think that it is not what is best, then I will accept Your will.

Only, please teach me to accept it with my whole heart. Always remind me not to question You and to always trust in You.

You have reminded me time and again that You ALWAYS provide. Let me be steadfast in my belief that when the time comes, You WILL provide.

I will accept, I will trust!

All this in Jesus’ name…

AMEN

 

Prayer #3

Lord, once again you have proven to me that I only have to turn to You.
Remind me everyday until I no longer have doubts.
Remind me that all I have to do is lift things up to You.
The pain is no longer mine,
for You have taken it away.
The triumphs will both be ours,
for You are there cheering me on.

All I need is YOU, my Lord!

 

Prayer #2

“Lord, when I loose hope because my plans have come to nothing, help me to remember that your love is always greater than my disappointments and your plans for my life is always better than my dreams.”

Sometimes we hurt so much and nothing we do can seem to take away that hurt. A few years ago, shopping was the simple cure for me but not anymore. Praying or simply talking to God is what cures me nowadays. It is better than shopping! It would leave me feeling lighter and more at peace with myself.

I know I still have a lot of things to work on with myself but I am getting there!

 

Change

Why can’t things stay as they are? Everything around me is changing. I feel like I’m standing on the side of a railroad track and everything around me is passing me by. Everything is changing except me. Everyone is going somewhere and I am left alone, rooted to the spot.

Even my relationships are changing. Sometimes I wish I could stay in an isolated island forever. Far from people who can leave me with deep wounds and scars. In isolation, there can be no rejection, no resentment. In isolation, I can at least protect my heart.

I want to start fresh – remain anonymous in a sea of new faces.  I want to go where nobody would expect me to always be there. I want to go some place where I only have myself to depend on. I want to get back the parts of myself that I gave away and lost. I want to search for the person I can truly become. I want to recharge after draining and milking myself dry for other people. For once, I want to take charge of my life!

The Serenity Prayer: 

God, grant me the serenity to  accept the things I cannot change;

courage to change the things I can, and

the wisdom to know the difference.

Living one day at a time;

enjoying one moment at a time;

accepting hardships as the pathway to peace.

Taking as He did, this sinful world as it is, not as I would have it.

Trusting that He will make all things right, if I surrender to His will.

That I may be reasonably happy in this life,

and supremely happy with Him forever in the next.

 

Prayer of Thanksgiving 1

Lord, I know sometimes my faith in you falters

I forget to look beyond what is there.

Failing to realize that you are always there for me

For that, I am sorry.

For all the times that I have forgotten,

Thank you so much for everything.

Thank you for my wonderful family and friends.

Thank you for our good health and continuous spiritual and material wealth.

And I especially thank you for always reminding me that there is a sunshine after the rain!

 

God answers prayers in three ways. . .

“He says YES and gives you what you want,

He says NO and gives you something better,

He says WAIT and gives you the best in His own time.”

I feel like a failure. I hate feeling like I have to prove something to everyone. Could have I done things differently?

All I have now is my faith. My faith that everything will turn out the way God wants it to be. As it is, my faith is being shaken but I am praying that I can hold on.
