Dear God,
I know and believe you have a plan for my life. Thank you for your divine plan, LORD! If I'm honest, I've doubted where my life is supposed to go or that I'm meant to be anything other than a mom and wife. At the same time, while I'm doubting I feel in my heart and know in my mind what you want me to do!
This past Sunday...Yesterday. At church, a prayer partner prayed for D'shay and me. I feel that he was giving us a prophetic word and it was that you have set the path ahead for us and you have us in your supporting hands, and also that we are to lead. LORD OH LORD, may you continue to guide us. Guide me to do everything you have called me to do.
I know that alone, my life could very well be me being a mother and a wife... a good one at that. Considering my upbringing. But when I give/gave you my life, you gave it a whole new purpose. You made my life better, everything about me GOD! You make life make sense. With the lessons, I've learned through reading your word and reading Jesus' teachings. I feel like a better person. The other day, for example, I had an upsetting phone call with my dad and I wanted to be so angry with him and for a moment I was, I wanted to sulk in my emotions. Honestly, I really did. Then in my heart, I heard and felt the words "he's only human, and you have a perfect Father In Heaven who has never left you " and at that moment my perspective shifted. I was still upset but the emotions got lighter and lighter as I took in those words and simply took a moment to cry it out. I cried because I felt guilty for being so hard on him because I know what it's like to be a human. Falling short to someone or somewhere. At the same time, I cried because I wanted to dwell on my feelings and have the right to be mad...
Remembering Jesus' words in Matthew 5:38-42 :
38 “You have heard that it was said, ‘Eye for eye, and tooth for tooth. 39 But I tell you, do not resist an evil person. If anyone slaps you on the right cheek, turn to them the other cheek also.40 And if anyone wants to sue you and take your shirt, hand over your coat as well.41 If anyone forces you to go one mile, go with them two miles.42 Give to the one who asks you, and do not turn away from the one who wants to borrow from you."
Have helped me when I wanted to react. I decided, to turn the other cheek. Go to you, even if I didn't say it out loud; I gave you my emotions and I did feel better. I know in your eyes My LORD, I am valuable, I am loved, I am worthy of the things you have planned for me. Even when I might not feel like I am any of those things.
Thank you, God, For your Son, Jesus Christ, My King!
Prayer:
My Father In Heaven, Glorious is your name. I come to you to say thank you. Thank you for your plans for my life. I ask that you continue to guide me and give me the wisdom of the Holy Spirit. May you protect me and my loved ones, O LORD. You're so good, so gracious, and merciful. Your kingdom come on earth as it is in Heaven. Forgive the sins I committed today. Forgive me if I didn't and don't have the right heart poster. Help my heart soften towards situations and people who make my heart want to get hard. I love you JESUS, My savior!
May you give me peace in my heart, mind, soul, and spirit.
In Jesus' mighty name, I pray,
Amen, Amen, and AMEN!!
