Praying in the New Year!

Okay here it is my annual prayer. My heart is so heavy this year. It was difficult to narrow down what I wanted to include in my prayer. This prayer is for all of you near or far, known or unknown. I love you all and want you to know that God Loves You today. God Bless You all. Happy New Year and may this be a Blessing filled year!
Dear Father in Heaven
 
What a year 2015 has been.
We have witnessed and experienced many illnesses, deaths, bloodshed, hurts and other horrific events.
My heart is so heavy as a result.
Yet, there have been many miracles performed, healings, church plants and people joining the kingdom and to this we are grateful.
Lord as 2015 comes to a close I take time to pause and consider all that I have and all that I am and can only credit you with much praise.
I know that I am your child but sometimes that doesn’t seem to be enough.
There are so many who have not yet discovered the truth and I can’t imagine going on without them. I really need them to know.
Lord please I ask you now as 2016 arrives, call to each of my family and friends who have so far chosen to turn their heart away,
in hopes that this will be the year they choose to say “I belong to Jesus”. I pray for the day all my family and friends will share in that joy!
When you call to us and we respond, you ask 1 simple thing.
To share the Glory of Christ our Lord with all those who we meet.
Lord I want to serve you faithfully and listen for your voice. This is not possible without you.
Search me and know my heart Lord. If there are any wicked ways in me lead me away.
Help me to keep my promises as you keep yours with us.
Remind me Lord when I begin to stray,
that nothing can ever separate us from your love and when we put our trust in you we will find new strength.
Life gets tough and ugly but every new day is a chance to try again.
Allow me Lord to come to you before each day’s sunset
that I may confess the sins of the day to you and send my burdens to the cross.
Though I may shed tears at night, joy comes in the morning light.
For this I am grateful and I pray this helps me
to be friendly and loving to everyone I meet and all the challenges I try to defeat.
May my actions mirror all the love you have for us especially when I am grouchy and putting up a fuss
I pray this also for my sons, spouse, family and friends.
Each one is just as important and a gift from you.
I am blessed to have them in my life.
And Heavenly Father, should 2016 be the year you call one of us home, I pray as we approach your gates that we will hear:
“Well done good and faithful servant!”
I Bless you Lord
In Jesus Name
Amen.
 These are 2 of my biggest blessings!

This poetry is not only Praise to God but it is also a testimony of His work in my life. Even when I haven't paid attention, He was there through it all. God Loves Me even though I am not perfect and that's enough for me.

About Me

My photo
We all have gifts given to us by The Lord God above even before we were a glint in our parents eye. The Lord designed each one of us to have a gift. What we choose to do with the gifts he gives us is what matters. I chose to share my gift with the world. I'm not a professional. I have had no educational training in poetry writing other than basic english that they teach you in school. All my poems are inspired by God's word and the desire to have a better relationship with him. I have also been inspired by life events that God has led me to healing for. I am a mother of 2 boys trying to do my best to please the father and raise my boys to live the same way.
