Dear God....

I waited to list my prayers until I read some of yours, and, they were exactly what I had expected. As Christians, we all have so many of the same concerns. I think this is because we all see the Big Picture! Yes, we concern ourselves with the day to day of everyday life, but, we know there is SO much more in store for us. There is a future we are all looking to and hoping those we love look to as well. We see that this life is a constant struggle of good vs. evil, and joy vs. pain, and we know that while we can't control every aspect, there IS something we can do. There ARE right choices we can make. There IS someone who hears our prayers!

My prayers are...
1. That God will always give me the words to say in any situation, good or bad, to encourage, uplift or just to support
2. That I can be an example to others by my words and my actions
3. For growth in my spiritual life and the wisdom to live the life God wants for me
4. I pray for beautiful, healthy futures for Jenna and Alyssa and that they will desire to put God first in all they do
5. For happy, healthy lives for Mom, Angie, Will, John, Amy and Grams. I pray God will help them overcome the hardships of the last couple of years and restore joy in all aspects of their lives!
6. I pray for the local church at Pickaway, and all the churches around the world, that they will restore others to Him, remain faithful when it gets harder and harder to, and that they will keep love at the heart of all they do for Him
7. I pray for the leaders of this country, and those serving our country wherever they might be in this world. I pray for their safety, their health and healthy minds to keep them strong when the loneliness and doubt creeps in
8. I pray that this world will have an awakening and realize it's time to get back to GODLY ideals and forget about what is "politically correct"
9. I pray for strength and the abilities I need to help me as I take on a new challenge in my life
10. I pray that I will never forget to praise God for all that He has done for me and for those I love!
