It's all because of You

Dear Lord, Heavenly Father, the world's Creator, my soul's Savior,

Today I pray thanks, always remembering how You have forever redeemed and transformed my life.  Always remembering the day when my eyes were open, and you could reveal yourself to me - the day you said, "Little one, I love you, I am here, I have been here. I have cried with you, I have smiled for you, I clapped for your success, and wept when you hurt. I will always love you, and there is nothing you can do to change this."

Lord, I pray in thanks for all you choose for me to do, the opportunities you give me to be your hands and feet on this earth.  I pray I will continue to strive to my vessel empty of all things which keep me from letting you fill me until I overflow.  You are my dearest friend, confident, supporter.... my king, my creator, my savior. How I wish I could stay in constant communication with you... yet, I battle daily with worries, fears, and doubts which threaten to flood my being, cloud my desires, dampen my spirits and steal my energy.

Lord God, may I always remember the light which fuels my fire, inspires my passion is YOU, heavenly Father - may my heart be ready to feel your comfort, peace and love in my life and use this as the fuel to press forward valiantly.  Lord, may my eyes always be open, ready to see you in every bit of your wondrous creation, heavenly Father - ready to be inspired by one and all to love more and more with each moment knowing you are with each and everyone one of us.  May my soul be ready to love everyone, knowing to love anyone is to love you more.

Lord, how I learn more and more each day of how you love me.  How the strength in my fingertips, the words which flood my mind, they all come from you Lord - You and You alone are my desire, You and You alone the one who creates in me.  Oh, how You care for me - so much that You created me individually, unique, especially for a divine purpose You have for me.  Oh Lord how I pray others can know how special they are to You too... Lord, how You have cared tenderly for each of us, from the beginning of time You have had a plan for us.

Lord, I pray I will always be ready and available to You, for Your purpose, and to the glory of Your kingdom.  May I be ready to serve, so that when the day comes I can stand proudly and say "Here I am."

In your precious son's name, Amen
