Dear Lord, I Thank You For This Day

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 everything
I have done, said or thought
that was not pleasing to you...

I ask now for Your forgiveness.. 
Please keep me safe
from all danger and harm.
 
Help me to start this day
with a new attitude and plenty of gratitude.
Let me make the best of each and every day
to clear my mind so that I can hear from You..
 
Please broaden my mind
that I can accept all things from you.
Let me not whine and whimper
over things I have no control over.
And give me 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 Your will.
Continue to bless me that I may be
a blessing to others.
 
Keep me strong that I may help the weak...
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 
don' t know You intimately..
I pray for those that don' t believe.

But I thank You that 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
and 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 Your hands for You to fight.

I pray that these words be received
into the hearts of every eye that sees it .  Amen!
 
God I love you and I need you,
come into my heart, please..
