Prayers..
**For a couple of days I have been reading my old LVR stuff from this past week and I came across something in the folder we didn't get the chance to do. And so here are 10 prayers that were in there. They each had some bible verses that came..but its alright..cause I dont wanna pressure anyone from what they believe..so I just put down the prayers. Some of these prayers kind of struck home to me..and thats why Im sharing this..After highlighting my bible from verses from LVR..it seems like its all highlightened but its not..its wierd.
Insignificance:
Jesus, in the dullness and monotony that often mark my days, help me to celebrate Your presence, for You make me someone very special indeed.
Competition:
Jesus, remove my consuming passion to be first, in control, having everything my way. Help me to see how shallow, superficial, and ultimately destructive this world’s glory can be. Grant me grace and power to be, without shirkig suffering or crisis, the cross-bearing servant You have me to be.
Rejection:
Jesus, what you ask is so very hard. It calls for courage and self-sacrifice and I am weak. Please give me strength. Don’t let me run away because of fear. Jesus, live in me and act in me and love in me….to others.
Spiritual:
Jesus, open ,my heart and my vision to see and experience Your love, Your healing power in my life. And, Jesus, thank You for the love and presence and hugs of others in time of need. Help me to do the same.
Betrayal:
Jesus, give me faith. Remove my fear of myself and others. Free me up of that if need be, I may bear the condemnation of the whole world, rather than be found false and faithless when it comes to bearing my cross and following You.
Despair:
Jesus, never strip me of vain pride, conceit, and worldy values, and give me the graciousness of thanksgiving. You have calmed the storms of my life. You have delivered me from my distress. You are bringing me safely to the other side. Use me as Your instrument opf calm and peace. Use me to touch the lives of those who are in the same boat of fear and unbelief.
Unbelief:
Jesus, touch me with Your healing love when I try to play the big ahot, when I let who and what I am stand in the way of who and what You want me to be. Free me from my self-made prisons of success and self-trust. I believe. Help me deal with my unbelief.
Loneliness:
Jesus, thank You for touching me with Your presence, so that I no longer need ever walk alone. Into Your hands I commit my spirit, trusting that when I suffer the hell of abandonment and forsakenness and loneliness, You hear my cry and touch my pain. And help me to sense the pain and loneliness in othersm that I may be an instrument of your love.
Death:
Jesus, grant that as I am baptized into Your death, my sins may be buried; and that through the grave and gate of dying, I may pass to the joy of new life. Grant me faith to know that I go to daeth with you-not alone, but with You, Jesus-and to knbow that You give life - today, tomorrow, and forever. You live! And so do I!
love you guys
