I come before you knowing that I fell short today, but I believe that your grace is enought for me. Today father, the words out of my mouth did not glorify or encouratge. Today, profanity came out of my lips and I spoke about being "horny" with my cousin. I flirted with Men and accepted two phone numbers at the bus station. I didn not gaurd the gates of my mind at all today. Father, I pray that you would forgive me tonight and draw me God-draw me into your pressence. Dram me God, draw near to me as I draw near to you. You are my source for everything God-Novody can love me like you-nobody can fulfill my need for intamacy like you can. God, Father, I hunger for intamacy. I want to be held and loved-and I know that if I wuit looking for that in men-and seek you with all of my heart, we can have that inamate relationship. God, I want to grow in the knowledge of your son, Jesus, I want to grow in maturity. I want to live for you alone, to do your will-I don't want to be one of hthose people who crys out in the end : Lord, Lord!" Only to have Jesus say "Away I never new you!" Help me God. Purify my heart, break my heart for the lost, Father, Help me to crucify my flesh. I don't want to put the desires of my flesh above you God. God, I pray that you would strenthen me to pray to you with my lips-help me to abandon my lazy ways. God I love you. my world is in your hands right now. My heart is in your hand. hold me father-I come before you as a clean slate. Time to start over tommorrow-=your mercies are new every day. Thankyou God, Holy spirit I invite you to fill me once again with your peace, your joy, and your annointing. Make me a leader-make me your mouthpiece and your outstretched arms, your vessall of selfless love, your prayer warrior, brave and bold, an inercessor. That is what I want to be. I want to be a wise woman of God that always puts you first. Before I start this new endeavor at Medprep and for the rest of my life father God, I seek foirst your Kingdom. I can do nothing without you. Hosea 3:8 says: "She doesn't realize it was I who gave her everhything she has-the grain, the new wine,the olive oil; I even gave her silver and gold. But she gave all my gifts to Baal."
God, you gave me everything I have, you brought Leslie and Michele into my life, my church, my family...You gave me gifts and tallents,you have provided for me to go to medprep-Father, right now I lay all of those things down to acknowledge that none of that is more important than you God. I worship you God in the name of my sweet savior who gave his life on the cross and tore the veil that sepperated us God, I worship you with everyhthing that is inside of me-I lift up the name of Jesus right now-I believe your word and your promises-I believe ythat you gave your one and only Son Jesus to be the perfect , blameless sacrifice. Come now and bathe me in your pressence. Thankyou for your grace, Amazing, soverighn God=I believe tha tyou are able to revive and restore this nation and your people God-Restore us and burn away the dross, thake away those things that seperate us from you...Lord let nothing be hidden, but bring it all into the light. Show me what you see-show me what I need to confess to you-Heavenly ffather, Open my eyes to see and my ears to hear-Put a new song in my heart...bring back that joy that comes from being in close communion with you..Not even sleep, or eating is more important that you God. I remember when I was a teenager, and I would stay up real late, and worship you and you would touch me with your pressence as I lay with my face on the floor...restore those times Jesus-restore that hunger in me God. Lately God I have been putting rest before you, but God, I need you more than I need rest. I need you more that I need air to breathe. Let nothing and no one be above you Let it be liek when you first called me-only better....
