Heartfelt prayers

Almost a week straight of Prayers, and my heart is healing from the pain of the past, and I am beginning to feel the peace. Am I scared, absolutely. Am I scared of the unknown-Yes. Do I feel at times I can't do it--yes. But God has it all in his hands, and He is a Sovereign God.


---My heart is heavy burdened and I am needing your peace and comfort. I admit I choose to walk my own path. I choose my plan. You have a greater plan for me Oh, Lord. And as I'm reminded by Jill's thoughtful words. Greater is he who walks in the Lord than in the world. There is abundance of joy to those who walk in your name. I need my life to reflect you name.

---Why is it that we always want what we do not have. There is always something as in money, marital status, in our families, friends, anything can make the jealousy strong. I want to love my life, I want to see it as a gift. Sometimes we don't see what lies beneath the snow. There are things unseen because God has a greater plan. We need to trust where we are in life now, and give God the glory. He knows it all---God is at work, we cannot see what He is always doing or His purposes. God's ways may not make sense to me. I'm am praying that I'll have a God-centered life.
---I feel like these changes are hard and I'm not strong enough. I'm scared God. I need to be strong. I need to have more faith. I need to hold on tight, because life is moving faster than I can handle right now. All I can do right now is cry. I feel like I don't know where to turn. The future looks unkown. I've been fighting you God and I no longer want a battle. Hold my hand tight cause I need the strength to keep going.


From Him are all things. He is the source of our existence. To resent or resist my circumstances is to resent God himself. In other words put by my friend Jenny, that if I am not willing to obey, then why would I recieve His blessings? A true woman lives a God-centred life---for His glory; God centered purpose. A true woman trusts God. He has a plan and His plan will not be voided. A true woman says yes Lord. I wan to live my life intentionally with a purpose to give God all glory.
