you're talking to your best friend. Whatever you need He has it.

You can tell Him everything, and He understands, and is waiting on you...."

Almighty God, , and Undeserved Friend, thank you!


Thank
you for this breath I take and for the heartbeat that sustains my life.
Make me aware as I travel, talk, rest, and work that you are there and
are worthy of my intentional best. You surprise me with new wonders and
new things daily. Thank you for not making life boring or predictable
so I might thirst after you, you who are forever fresh, new, exciting,
and marvelous.



Search
me, O God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts. See
if there is any offensive way in me, and lead me in the way
everlasting. Mold my heart into a heart of love, and hope. O God, I
know you are the one who "searches hearts and minds" yet because of the
grace you demonstrated in Jesus, I am confident that you love me. My
heart is sorry for the sin I have committed, but I am really trying to
serve you in honor and purity. Please fill me with your Spirit to
enable me to become more like Christ.



There
have been times when I was so broken I could not go on. I know the
strength to continue came from your rich grace and mercy. Please use me
this week to offer your comfort and love to others so they may feel
your warm embrace and come to yearn more for the day we see you face to
face in heaven.


Give
me the conviction I need to share my hope in Jesus, but in a way that
reflects your grace. These blessings I ask in your name...AMEN.
