Prayer #00023
Good morning LORD! No matter how glib or uncertain my situation is, no matter that I didn’t find employment yet; no matter that my financial situation is really lacking and I can’t afford to do any of the important repairs that need to be done on the inside and outside of my house; no matter that my car sits in the drive way unable to run because I can’t afford to get it fixed, or get a new one; no matter that I cry every day wondering when my situation will change; and no matter that my husband also stresses and worries about these things everyday and whether or not he’s going to lose his job soon; and no matter that we soon may not be able to pay some of our bills because our savings are quickly running out … I LIFT MY CHIN UP, and give THANKS to the LORD above! Today — regardless of it all — I remain STEADFAST and UNMOVABLE & PATIENT and FAITHFUL to GOD’s will. I give ALL GLORY, PRAISE, and THANKS to HIM for ALL the things that I do have! Thank you LORD for all the wonderful BLESSINGS that you’ve bestowed upon me like – waking me up this morning with a sound mind; breath in my body and a roof over my head; for giving me a family that I love and who loves me; friends that I adore and that adore me; the ability to laugh and smile; good health; a husband that genuinely cherishes and respects me, and TRULY has my back; a mother that is still here with me; siblings that are doing great; opportunities that I know will eventually turn into something great; the ability to learn and to get an education when I need to; the ability to empathize with, and have compassion for others; televisions in my home to watch and music to listen to at will; the freedom to speak my mind and to come and go when I please; the ability to make my own decisions; food to eat; clean water to shower or bathe each day; a real bed to lie down in when I’m tired; a phone – and a cell phone — to call people when I want; and the freedom to WORSHIP and PRAISE my GOD openly and unashamedly. NONE of these things do I take for granted, but for all of them LORD, I am GRATEFUL; Truly APPRECIATIVE; and most THANKFUL — because ALL of what I have is far more important than what I do not. LORD, I PRAY this PRAYER for any person going through these kinds of struggles, or any struggle not be mentioned here. BREATHE and RELAX, because GOD’s got your back! Amen.
