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.
