My Everyday Prayer

Father in Heaven,

This morning I thank you that You are the Strong and Faithful One. You alone are the LORD God Almighty. Today I ask that You would be to me just exactly what I need today.

Be to me the God of all Grace who pours Your grace into my heart as I seek to meet the needs of those around me. I need Your grace.

Be my Only Wise God. I need divine wisdom to juggle the many things in my life right now. Help me to trust You as my strong and faithful God in my home and relationships, my finances and my work.

Be to me my God of Hope as I look at this day today and also at the days ahead. In the changes and challenges that come let me find shelter, encompassed by You, The God of Love, The Living God and the Only True God.

Thank you that You are the Three in One, the God head that gives the wisdom and power of the Father, the love and compassion of the Son and the strength and empowerment of the Holy Spirit to me as I need it.

Help me today to feel Your strength and faithfulness is a powerful way and may my heart rest in You alone.

In the powerful name of Jesus I pray, amen.


This time last week i had no clue where my life was going...and now i'm contemplating moving to micronesia for 10 months to teach second grade. But you know the funny thing is, when i was asked what fears i had about this endeavor, the only one i could think of was giant spiders. i know it sounds petty but i really do have a serious fear of them. But anyways yeah, it must mean something that i could make this decision so quickly and not even have a second thought. I know that's God. He's been guiding me my whole life, and now with each and every step i'm trusting Him. I mean i couldn't have asked for a better response from my dad, who i thought was going to not like the idea of my traveling to the south pacific. but no, he thought it would be great, and he even mentioned, if that's where God's was leading me, then i should do it. That really comforted me, to know that my dad understands this is something in God's plan for me.

Now nothing's for sure yet, I have a meeting this afternoon, to discuss it with the missions director. But I know walking into this situation I have God with me, so I have nothing to fear, He's leading me.
