I don't remember who sent this to me but
I felt I had to share it with you.. I hope you enjoy it
and if anyone knows who the author is,
please let me know so I can give proper credit..
Relax and let God be the only
Person on your mind
while you read this Prayer.
If we can take the
time to read long jokes,stories, etc.,
we should give the same respect to this prayer.
Friends that
Pray together, stay together. Let's pray...
Dear Lord, I thank You for this day.
I Thank You for my being able to see
and to hear this morning. I'm
blessed because You
are a forgiving God and an understanding God.
You have done so much for me and
You keep on blessing me.
Forgive me this day for I have sinned.
I ask now for Your forgiveness.
Keep me safe from all danger and harm.
Let me start this day with a new attitude and
plenty of gratitude. Let me make the best of
each and every day and give my best
in all that is put before me.
Clear my mind that I can hear from You.
Broaden my
mind that I can accept all things.
Let me not whine and whimper over things
I have no control over.
Let me continue to see sin through God's eyes
and acknowledge it as evil. And when I sin,
let me repent, and confess with my mouth my wrongdoing,
and receive the forgiveness of God.
And when this world closes in on me,
let me remember Jesus's example-
to slip away and find a quiet place to pray.
It's the best response when I'm pushed
beyond my
limits. I know that when I can't pray,
You listen to my heart. Continue to use me to do Thy Will.
Continue
to bless me that I may be a blessing to others.
Keep me strong that I may help the weak and unsaved.
Keep me uplifted that I may have
words of encouragement for others.
I pray for those that are lost and
can't find their way. I pray for those that
are misjudged and
misunderstood. I pray for those
who refuse to share a word from You.
I pray for those who don't know You intimately.
I pray for those that will only read this
and not speak this aloud in their own lives.
I pray for those that will ignore this without
sharing it with
others. I pray for those that don't believe.
But I thank you that I believe.
I believe that God changes people and
God changes things. I pray for
all my sisters and brothers. For each
and every family member in their households.
I pray for peace, love
and joy in their homes, that they are
out of debt & all their needs are met. I pray
that every eye that reads this knows there is no
problem, circumstance, or
situation greater than God.
Every Battle is in His hands for Him to fight.
I
pray that these words
be received into the hearts of every eye that
sees them and every mouth that confesses them willingly.
This is my prayer. In
Jesus Name, Amen.
The Serenity Prayer
By: Reinhold Niebuhr
God, grant me the
Sereinty to accept the things
I cannot change;
Courage to change the things I can; and
The wisdom to know the difference.
Living ond day at a time;
Enjoying one moment at a time;
Accepting hardship
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.
He Took Your Place!!!!
One day, a man went to visit a church.
He arrived early, parked his car, and got out.
Another car pulled up near him, and the driver told him,
"I always park there. You took my place!"
The visitor went inside for Sunday School,
found an empty seat, and sat down.
A young lady from the church approached him
and stated, "That's my seat! You took my place!"
The visitor was somewhat distressed
by this rude welcome, but said nothing.
After Sunday School, the visitor went
into the church sanctuary and sat down.
Another member walked up to him and said,
"That's where I always sit. You took my place!"
The visitor was even more troubled
by this treatment, but still said nothing.
Later, as the congregation was praying for Christ
to dwell among them, the visitor stood,
and his appearance began to change.
Horrible scars became visible on his hands
and on his sandaled feet.
Someone from the congregation noticed him
and called out, "What happened to you?"
The visitor replied, "I took your place."
This is powerful. Prayer is THE best free gifts we receive.
Please remember all of our children. They need your prayer so very much.
For by Him all things were created that are in heaven and that are on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers. All things were created through Him and for Him. (Colossians 1:16)
