Gracious Father, in the quietude of this moment, I come before You with a heart open and sincere. I am in awe of Your unending love, a love that sees beyond my flaws and embraces me in my entirety.(not just me but us) Thank You for the gift of Your presence, where we can lay down the burdens of our hearts and find rest.
I am grateful for Your listening ear, ever attentive to our confessions. Grant us the courage to approach You with the candor of a child and the faith to know we are deeply loved. Remind us that in Your eyes, We are not condemned but cherished, not rejected but renewed.
As we receive Your forgiveness, let it be the salve that heals our wounds and the wind beneath our wings that lifts us to new heights. May Your grace be the compass that guides our steps and the lens through which we see ourselves and the world around us.

In gratitude for the transformation that confession brings, help us to offer ourselves to You anew. May our lives sing of Your mercy and our actions reflect the freedom found in Your embrace. I love You, Lord, and in the precious name of Jesus, I offer this prayer. Amen
(I changed this from a singular prayer to an all of us prayer. It was too good to not copy it n share.)

I was made to be the villian in a story. I was the object of jeolousy, hatred, bitterness, rage, unhealed trauma, and many more. In those moments I could see no way out.. I immediately would start praying to The Lord for help when the war peaked.. (Your word says that You help those who seek refuge in you. You help the widows and the orphans.) A Pastor of this church showed me that even when the chaos is raging all around you right here in the middle is "Peace that surpasses all understanding." Someone then told me that, "God has not fallen off His throne." He knew, He sees, and He already had a plan. "So I don't know... but I trust You Lord!!" (these are words I've been saying for a few years.) I had read someone's post on Facebook "that when God moves it's going to be fast, to be prepared." (Fast is not the word I would of used lol.) There are no words that can be used to describe this moment in "His Story of this life He gave me." Moment by moment I didn't just touch the hem of His garment. I hung on with a death grip because my very life depended on Him. (it still does) I've relaxed my hold because I know He wont ever let me go. (He has always been there.) He did go above and beyond what I asked for or imagine. (a way out that everyone would know it was Him n not me) I won't ever relax in my pursuit of Him ever. He relentlessly pursued me. And I will pursue Him till the last breath He gives me.

( this is not mine. I actually stole it off a Facebook book friend)
My Affirmation

I created this affirmation for my own spiritual walk, but it’s too helpful to keep it to myself. I encourage you to read this out loud and it will bless you and bring you into focus today.

I am who God says I am.

Who does God say I am? I am a daughter of the King and He is my heavenly Father. I am the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus. I am saved and called with a holy calling, not according to anything I've done or haven't done, but according to God's own purpose and grace which He gave me in Christ Jesus before the world began. I am God's workmanship created in Christ Jesus unto good works which He planned beforehand that I will walk in. I am a chosen generation, a royal priesthood and a holy nation. I am redeemed by the precious blood of Jesus. I am healed by the stripes of Jesus. I am bought with a great price. I am accepted into the family of my Father. I am loved unconditionally by my heavenly Father. I am covered with the favor of God as with a shield. I am in the palm of His hands and no one can pluck me out. I am His, and He is mine. Who I am in Christ doesn't change with how I feel. Who I am in Christ doesn't change with outward circumstances. I am who God says I am.

I have what God says I have.

What does God say I have? I have a covenant relationship with God through Jesus. I have peace with God through Jesus. I have access to God by the blood of Jesus. I have spiritual power and authority given to me by God. I have the mind of Christ. I have the Holy Spirit (my Counselor, Helper, Intercessor, Advocate, Strengthener, and Standby) dwelling with me and living in me. I have both natural and spiritual gifts given to me by God. I have the love of God shed abroad on my heart by the Holy Spirit given to me. I have the truth of God's Word in my heart. I have my name written in the Lamb's book of Life. I have a promise from God that He will never leave me or abandon me. I have the entire heavenly host guarding me and strengthening me. I have a purpose. I have a bright future in Christ. What I have in Christ doesn't change with how I feel. What I have in Christ doesn't change with outward circumstances. I have what God says I have.

I can do what God says I can do.

What does God's Word say I can do? I can do all things through Christ which strengthens me. I can go boldly to the throne of grace 24/7 and obtain mercy and find grace to help me in my time of need. I can do the works of Jesus, even greater works, because He went to the Father. I can share with others my testimony of how God saved me and is transforming my life. I can lay hands on the sick and they will recover. I can be still and know that He is God. I can call things that be not as though they are. I can hear the voice of God. I can receive wisdom and instruction from His Word. With His help, I can run through a troop. With His help, I can leap over a wall. I can guard my heart and set healthy boundaries. I can trust Him to take care of me. What I can do in Christ doesn't change with how I feel. What I can do in Christ doesn't change with outward circumstances. I can do what God says I can do.

Heavenly Father, in the silent moments where words are scarce and the pain of others wraps around me, grant me the grace to embody Your ministry of Presence. Teach me to value the quiet companionship I can offer, the silent solidarity of shared tears. Remind me, O Lord, that in the stillness, my mere presence can be a balm to the wounded soul. May I cherish the privilege of simply being there, a vessel of Your compassion, a silent witness to their stories. For in the tapestry of life, every thread of empathy weaves Your love deeper into the hearts of those who suffer. Thank You, Lord, I dont just pray this for me, I ask that You would help us all be this for others. Amen
(Not all my words, but they are from my heart)

Yesterday was the 2 year mark that the Lord delivered me from meth and cigarettes. I eternally grateful that He relentlessly pursued me. I'm honored to relentlessly pursue Him. I wont ever stop. I am grateful to be a miracle and to be apart of miracles in other peoples lives as well.

Lord, You know there are a few of these I am guilty of.. I humbly ask You for forgiveness. I ask that You would make my skin thicker, as it's said, in areas that You know I need it. I thank You for it, for I know that when we ask for help, You help. I love and trust You Lord. Amen
(This is my prayer, and a desire from my wounded heart.)
