Thank You, Father for the gift of Jesus Christ! Praise You
forevermore! Thank You for giving me life. Thank You for giving me Steve,
Kelly, Jon, Keith and Clay! Thank You for my parents! Thank you for my grandparents and the saints who have gone before me!
Thank You for my family members that have given me encouragement and support!
Thank You for teachers that have helped along the way! Thank you for my church family! Thank You for my pets!
Thank You for my computer to record my journal with you! Thank You for making
me a new creation! Thank You for the ability to change! Thank You that I can
renew my mind in You! Thank You for my health! Thank You for guiding and
correcting me!
I confess I have not loved You with my whole heart. I
confess that I get irritated and impatient and angry and take it out on my
family. I confess that when I get mad, I get stubborn, harsh and critical. I
get annoyed by people who don’t think and react impulsively and yet I am guilty
of that! Romans 7:15-23! Oy vey! I confess that I am a spender and do not
budget myself wisely. I confess that I am not a good housekeeper. I confess
that I eat too much junky food sometimes. I confess that I am selfish. Please forgive me of these things and for those I've forgotten!
Father, I pray that I would honor You in all that I think,
say, and do. I pray that I would not be swayed by the evil one to do things
that would take my focus off of You. I ask for supernatural healing of my body, mind, spirit and soul!. May I be healed to
Your glory and honor and may I live all my days for You, however long that is!
May I grow in my prayer life and seek You first in all things! May I respond in love and affection and
acceptance and not in hatred, withholding caring touches or by rejecting
others. God forbid it! Help me to manage myself, emotionally,
physically and financially and protect me, my family, friends and others from
the evil one. The old me could never
change or be transformed with You, Lord! I know I am in Jesus Christ, help me
not to slack off, become lazy or unfocused in my worship and devotion to
You. Replace my stinking thinking with
whatever is right, pure, lovely, excellent, praiseworthy – to fix my mind on
those things (Phil 4:8)! May I never
take life for granted and may I extend the joy of life in others including my
husband, children, family, friends, neighbors and strangers!
In Jesus Name I pray all these things, may it be loosed here
on earth as it is in heaven!
I Love You, God,
Christine
