TAKEN TOGETHER, GOD'S WORD COMMANDS ME TO PRAY THE WORD A LOT EVERY DAY
Bible Texts
Pray without ceasing. (1 Thessalonians 5:17)
My son, give attention to my words; Incline your ears to my sayings. Do not let them depart from your eyes; Keep them in the midst of your heart. For they are life to those who find them, and health to all their flesh. Proverbs 4:20-22
Prayers
Lord, help me to pray without ceasing without letting your Word depart from my eyes. (Proverbs 4:21)
Lord, let me keep speaking the Word and speaking faith in my prayers, no matter what the circumstances.
Lord, work in me to keep me praying with my heart and mind full of the Word. (Colossians 3:16)
Lord, work in me real joy at all times so I truly rejoice always. (1 Thessalonians 5:16)
Lord, bring me to the place where the Word doesn't depart from my mouth. Let me meditate on it day and night, that I may observe to do what it says, and prosper in all my ways, having good success. (Joshua 1:8)
Lord God, you are at work in me both to will and to do your good pleasure. You told me to rejoice always and to pray without ceasing, giving thanks in everything. Give me the desire and the power to pray without ceasing in faith, never ceasing to joyfully give thanks to you. Fill me with your love, and cause me to rejoice always in the truth of your Word. (Philippians 2:13 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18; Corinthians 13:6)
Lord Jesus, I need to abide in you. Dear Holy Spirit, teach me to abide in Jesus. Lord, my desire is that Your Word will abide in me. Lord, I will delight myself in your statutes; I will not forget your Word. I will never forget Your commandment to love my brethren as You have loved me. Lord, make me walk in the path of Your commandments, for I delight in it. You are my portion, O LORD. I have said that I would keep Your Words. Lord, cause your Word to abide in me. Cause it to consume my heart. Then I will overcome the wicked one, and I will ask what I desire with thanksgiving and joy, and it will be done for me. I know You will answer. And you will be glorified by this Lord, because I shall bear much fruit in every way. (John 15:4,7,8; Psalm 119:16,35,57; 1 John 2:14 Philppians 4:6-7)

I liked this poem...
hese thoughts have lingered,
For quite sometime.
When the seasons change and flow,
Soon it will become a vague design,
And it's time to let them go.
To be what they were meant to,
To be what they were called to,
When letting go of it hurts us the most,
Sometimes its the best thing to do.
Life gets entagled with ourselves,
When we let it grow too far.
I'm afraid this time,
We'll have to give it all away again,
Let us begin from the start, once again.
We've come so very far, again.
Just let it be your freedom.
and this one...
I wanna live from the heart.
I wanna live without worrying what they think.
Eyes that wander away from this reality.
My mind is in a different place,
Living from a different world.
Sometimes I forget how to relate,
On the surface,
But you know in the deep,
You know when it hits you,
Deep down within you,
Can you feel it?
If you hear it,
Don't ignore it.
It will not let you go until you give it attention.
It won't stop crying,
It won't stop.
and this one...
The world is chained.
Together we are,
Not what we've expected.
Still we've gotten this far,
And yet, for what?
A mere image of ourselves.
We strive for perfection,
Because we're imperfect.
We want something we don't have,
What we see, or what we feel.
And if there was no such thing as perfect..
What would become of our world?
The things made out to be great,
Would become surprisingly small.
And all of our reality,
Would show to be false.
The heart is but a whisper,
A glance of the truth.
Dimly we see it now,
Until the end of time.
Eternity will shine,
And we'll see darkness brought to light,
Until the end time,
We wait for Him to come.
Take us home.
Take us home...

Lord,
Bless Cait today. Help her to see herself through your eyes of love. Help her to feel accepted and that her life IS exciting. Lord open her eyes. Lord thank you so much that she was born 21 years ago. I'm so grateful for her. She is exuberant about life. Caring, deeply honest and vulnerable. She thinks so much of others...so incredible. She gets mad but she gets over it. Life is okay to be messy with her. She is open and tells her opinion. She is so kind and empathizes with others. She is involved in other's lives and is a delight to me

Well I'm here at WGM. Interning. editting PDFs while thinking a million and one thoughts. Lord, I hate fighting with Carita and I hate that I don't feel valued or loved when I'm around her. Lord, teach me to love her. To love those who love me isn't that hard but to love someone who is getting on my last nerve, telling me what to do and pouting in self pity. Ugh. Lord, I know that I am guilty of the same sins. And you forgave me. Please help me to forgive carita for the 490th time! 70x7. Jesus help me to encourage her and to lift her up even if she is putting me down. I love you Lord. teach me healthy boundaries. I want to do all of this for you Jesus. Jesus you are the reason that I want to act Godly. I can't do it on my own it's too freakin hard. I neeeeed you. Lord thank you for loving me. I can' t live without you. Thank you for bestowing your grace. Lord, fill me with your peace--- your complete-ness. I can't just empty out all of the nasty stuff, I need to fill it with your love. I want to love others! I want to be there for them and to encourage them and to love them in a way that they understand. Lord, thank you for my dad. I really appreciate him. And Ryan. I feel okay to be who I am around them. They don't judge me. I'm so thankful. Lord help me to be like that too. To give others the benefit of the doubt and to give without a stingy heart. Lord help me to see myself as beloved in your eyes. I long to have someone love me. You do. Jesus Jesus, I surrender, Lord I give all of me. All my nasty motives and unforgiving heart, anger, judgment and envy. Please take it. Wash me clean. Thank you Lord. I want to rest in your care for me. Your provision for this day.
