My Prayer Tonight

Dear Heavenly Father,

I am amazed daily by your overwhelming grace and love. I show you daily that I don't deserve anything but death, but instead you gave me life and I am eternally grateful. I thank you allowing me to see another day. I'm using my last hour in this day to seek you with everything in me God. I pray that I can take Your Word and I can live it out daily. I pray that when people look at me, they say, "something is different about her; she has a joy about her that is not from anything of this world." I have been guilty of looking for acceptance and joy from things in this world, but Romans 12:2 tells me to not conform but be of Your nature God. I pray that you help me to love more. I want to be like You, God. I want to love unconditionally and faithfully.

You know that there is so much healing that needs to happen to me and those around me. I pray for Taylor Lord, God. I pray for Your touch to heal her and fill her with life. I pray for her family during this difficult time; I pray that they would seek You and nothing else because You are the only one that can truly comfort them and bring ease to their heart. I pray for Sophia and her family God. I know that her grandmother is at Your right hand and that You took her because it was time for her to be with You God and I pray that You bring this same revelation to Sophia. Comfort her, God; ease her heart and mind God and I pray that through this process, she would draw closer to You. I pray for my own family as You also gained my Uncle Ted as well. I pray that he is overwhelmed with Your love in Heaven, God. You know the man he is and You love him all the same. I pray that You heal the hurt ones as well as my own heart God. May thy will be done.

There is so much work to be done in the hearts of my colleagues God. I pray for Jess as she stresses about school. I pray that You show up in her life and do something positively amazing. I pray that she will be astounded by Your showing her that she can find rest and peace in You and You alone. I pray for Zac, Lord God. It pains me every day to see him in such pain and misery but I know that Your plan is greater than mine. I just pray that you bring revelation in his life and You show him of Your mercy. Let him love people God. Let him be a reckless lover of souls so that he can be filled with Your joy rather than his own.

Thank you so much for Your love. I can't be thankful enough for You grace. I'm so undeserving but still You love me. Thank you for giving me my mom God. She means the world to me and I don't know where I'd be without her love and guidance. I pray that You do work in her heart. Show her what it is to genuinely love others. Show her what mercy is. Show her You, God. I thank you for giving us Robert. He is amazing because He's the best earthly father I could've ever asked for. I pray that you heal my parents and keep them safe. Love....

Oh God, I feel you stirring in my heart. Continue to work in me God. Use me, Change me, do whatever You need to do to make me Yours. I give you everything God. I give You everything. I trust You.

I just lift up Liberty University God. I pray that every prayer is answered and every heart is healed. I pray that anyone I left out tonight is shown you love just as well, Lord God. Show us you grace and love and mercy. Fill us and mold us into the school You want us to be.

I love You God, I pray all these things in Jesus' name,

Amen.
