Last Year

On July 19th last year, this was my journaled prayer and I thought I would share it with you.

Our father in heaven hallowed be your name
You are God in Heaven and I am not means you have the power to move mountains to move people to change hearts to be glorified you are amazing God… indescribable uncontainable you placed the stars in the sky and you know them by name you are amazing God
Your kingdom come, your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.That your love would be known here on the earth and that your will would be our will. So if we pray out of selfish ambition or vein conceit that would not even be of you, but with your love we pray and you will be made known. Please let your truth be made known.
Give us today our daily bread
You tell us to open our mouth, that you will fill it, let us be satisfied with the food that you give, not food of the earth, but of your word that we would know you more
Forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors
Let us forgive others with a free heart that we could also walk around free in Christ. Help us to know this Lord that we would not be caught up in consequences, but caught up in truth of your grace and freedom that reigns in you Lord. That you would give us a new understanding that we’re free in you and you have covered all of our sins!
And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one.
Please don’t allow us to even walk close to temptation, if it means not going up on the hill ever then so beit, but keep us far from that temptation of pride, lust, jealousy, selfishness, etc.
For if you forgive men when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you do not forgive men their sins, your Father will not forgive your sins.
Above all I know you desire mercy and love, not sacrifice. So help us to forgive others of their sins, if we can I know we’ll be free to walk in your love, let us be people of grace always considering others better than ourselves and through that grace that you give us Lord let us walk in the gift of faith that you’ve given us knowing that it’s not from anything that we’ve done, but a gift freely given to us so that we could not boast. And help us not to boast except in you Lord in your death on the cross and what that means to us as Christians, followers of you that we would be like minded with one spirit and with one love and with one purpose. That our earthly suffering for you would be momentary and that our eyes would stayed focused on eternal salvation and that in that you would give us a heart to serve you and to suffer our families, our free time, our friends and that you would bless us for obedience to your will that your power would be made known in our weakness and that your glory would come down and shine around that their would be no more darkness. Oh Lord thank you for your covenant to love each one of us that in that covenant you say it will last forever, until you break your covenant with the night and the day that’s how long it will last and Lord when we make covenants with each other I pray that you would allow those covenants to be carried out in the same manner and that our vows before you would be made with pure hearts committed to serving you, not each other, but serving you through serving each other and that we would never forget the desert that you brought us through and that that desert would be a constant reminder of the pain and suffering and struggle against sin that we would truly realize how beautiful your blessings are in the land flowing with milk and honey and that we would NEVER be ungrateful for these blessings that we would always lift our hands and shout praises to your name….salvation springs up from the ground Lord let your glory come down seek the lost and heal the lame Jesus bring glory to your name let all the prodigals run wild all creation waits and smiles Lord we’ve heard of your great fame Jesus bring glory to your name Jesus!…stir up our hearts oh God, open our spirits to know who you are, put a cry in us so deep inside that we cannot find all the words we need we just cry out to you!
