Good Morning God ....... June 29, 2007

Dear Heavenly Father,

I have a much lighter spirit as I approach your throne this morning and I praise You for that. I ask that you forgive me of all sin that I have been a part of including things that I haven't done but should have. I praise You for sending Jesus to the cross to die for me and I still stand in awe that if I were the only one here on earth, He would have still died! Amazing!

I ask Prayer for all those who are lost, sick, hurting emotionally; Lord please be with these people. Let them realize that You are real and that You will meet their every need if they will just call upon You. Lord, use me in the lives of these people. Touch me and use me (my body is a vehicle for you) to demonstrate You to those who don't know where to turn.

I ask for protection and blessing to be upon my beloved family. Lord, strengthen each member and provide blessings and protection for them for their continued service to You. Touch them deep in their souls and bless them greatly indeed.

Please, be with my precious husband. He left for work feeling bad this morning from a summer cold. I know that it will be hard to be out in the heat all day while sneezing and feeling icky. Bless him Lord. Also, please send folks who really need a good deal on a vehicle to him. Bless him with some car sales today and tomorrow Jesus. Also, provide for him rest as he has traveled and worked nonstop for 2 weeks with only Sunday off to serve You.

Bless our marriage and our relationship in You. Lord help me to be the wife that I should be. I Pray this daily because I need it daily. I know that there are plenty of ways that I could bless You more by serving him. What a beautiful picture of Christ and His bride that would be!

Bless us with a child when you see fit and even now, if it be Thy will, create the miracle of life in my womb. Help me to feel less overwhelmed with the whole process and with all the things that I feel like are hinging upon the situation. Help me to see that in due time I will get to accomplish the things that I have on my heart to accomplish. Help me see that light at the end of the tunnel.

Lastly, SAVE those in my family, friends, and community who are lost. Lord help me to be a witness to them and to really be someone that they can talk to. Provide opportunities and help me realize them while I am in them instead of later on.

Thank You Lord for Saving me and keeping me each and every day. I am nothing without You. Thank You for my answered Prayers, for my family & friends, and for my health and happiness. Thank You for being there for me when I am so down and out that no one knows what to say. Thank You for providing a wonderful husband to be there through thick and thin. Thank You for the children You that I know You will soon bless us with in due time. Thank You is just not enough, eh?

I Pray all these things in accordance to Your perfect will,
In Jesus' name,
Amen.

Ain't Nothin' Gonna Come Between Me and God.... My Prayer June 25, 2007

Dear Heavenly Father,

Good morning. I want to start off by thanking You for bringing me through some frustration last night. I want to thank You for listening as I Prayed last night when no one else was even awake. Thank You for the positive news that Tina sent my way. Thank You for church yesterday. It was awesome! Thank You for sending me to my church when You did 3+ years ago. Thank You for sending my family to the same church as well. Thank You for my family and friends. I couldn't have a better support system. Thank You for hearing my Prayers and answering them. Thank You most of all for hearing my Prayer for Salvation and Saving my condemned soul.

Lord, please forgive me for everything that I have done. Forgive me for being cross with people that I may have been cross with. Forgive me for not speaking when I should and for speaking when I shouldn't. Forgive me for the sins I commit each moment of each day.

Lord, please be with all those who have lost someone that they love. Be with Danielle's family. Hold Verna so close to Your heart. I know each day is a struggle for her, but what a picture of Jesus she has been to all of us through this situation! She has turned to You with everything she has. I love her and that family dearly. Please let Danielle know that I still love her, too. Let her know that I am coming soon to see her. I really don't think it will be much longer Dear Lord. I know You are the only one that really knows, but the signs are so evident. Please let Danielle be a part of my welcoming committee in Heaven.

Please be with other families who have lost loved ones: Brian Wagner's, Jon's, Justin Ealy's, Ruth Bell Graham's, Preacher Bingham's, Robin Baker's, and any that are slipping my mind at the moment.

Please be with my father, mother, and brother. Touch them Lord and bless their earthen vessels. They are so faithful to You. Please lengthen their days upon this earth if it be Thy will. Please let them be able to enjoy aging gracefully. Let them enjoy their grandchildren and be able to teach them just as they have taught my brother and I. Please help Billy to be able to grow in grace and truth and to make a difference in this world. Bless him with the right wife and sweet children when the time comes. Help him decide on college and career choices as well as life choices while growing up. I Pray these in accordance to Your will Heavenly Father.

Lord, be with those that are lost or are out of Your will. I Pray for my friends and my family. I Pray that I can be a voice of Your truth in this wilderness of life to them. I Pray that You save those which are lost in my family and friends. I Pray that You draw those which are away from You right now back to Your scarred side and let them realize that You are all that they will ever need.

Lord, be with my precious husband. He has such a good mindset. He desires to live a positive life that centers around You. May I always be supportive of him in his endeavors. I Pray that I will always be a good wife. I Pray that I will always remember to keep his needs before mine. This is Your will and I realize that. God, You know that I always try to be what You would have me be. You also know that my desire is to live an innocent Christian life. Help me to be a good wife to this precious husband that You have so blessed me with.

Help me O Lord. Help me with my career situation. Lord, You know where You want me. You know the desires of my heart as well. You know where my heart has been and where it is at every moment of every day. Lord, I Pray for Your holy will to be accomplished in this situation. Please just make a way for me wherever that may be. Go before me and meet with the hearts that are distant towards mine. Let them see that I am beyond their thoughts. I am a totally different person than they think I am. I Pray that if it be Your will, a way will be made for the desires of my heart. I Pray that this would be in accordance to Your will as it is in Heaven.
Even now, I Pray for peace in this situation. I Pray that I will find rest in You. Lord, You know how overwhelmed that I am. You know how exhausted my mind is. Please just give me peace in this situation.

I also Pray for a precious child when You see fit. I Pray that if it be your will, things won't take months and months. I Pray for Your guidance in this situation. I Pray for Your strength in this situation and with Michael and I as a couple. Please just work a miracle if it be Your will.

Father, I beg of You ... just meet my needs and the needs of all those that I love so dearly. I Pray that You will read my heart and see exactly what it's saying. I Pray for the things that I may not even be able to think of but that I know need Praying for. I Pray for our country and its leaders. I Pray for the upcoming elections. I Pray for our soldiers and their families. I Pray that this world will come to know You. I love and magnify You Jesus for all that You are to me.

In Jesus' Name,
Amen

My Prayer For Today June 22, 2007

Dear Heavenly Father,

I Pray first and foremost for forgiveness of my sins. I realize that I sin every moment of every day. I sin from the things that I do and from the things that I don't do. I just ask that You forgive me for my failures, pick me up, and dust me off again. I thank you for all that You are to me. I would be absolutely NOTHING without You. I thank You for the air that I breathe each moment. I thank You for my wonderful family and friends. I thank You for my great church and the ministry there. I thank You for the days that I smile easily and the days that it takes a little more effort. Most of all, I thank You for Saving me and creating a home for me in Heaven. I thank You for the memories that linger from those that I love who have gone on to Heaven.

I ask that You be with all the lost including those in my Brittain-Goodlett family. I ask that You tug at their heart strings. I Pray that they realize just how awesome an opportunity that Salvation is for them, just as it has been for all of us.

I also ask that You revive those who are out of their fellowship with You and other Christians. Revive me and my husband so that we we may be even closer to You.

Be with Monica and Chris as their marriage grows. Be with Pam as she heads to Knoxville to live and discover her career. Help Jessi Rose to continue to grow and mature into the woman that I know she is. Be with all the above in their walks with You. Remind them of where You have brought them and where they may have ended up. Remind me of that daily, too Dear Lord.

Jesus, you know how I feel in my heart and soul. You know what's going on with me. Please continue to take my issues and use them. I want my suffering to be worthwhile. I also Pray for those who are going through far worse issues than I. Please just help me to be the daughter, wife, sister, friend, etc. that I need to be even when I am not feeling like myself. Just move in my life and encourage my soul. I desire Your will because I know that You honestly have my best interest at heart.

Lord, continue to work a miracle in my life. Prepare Michael and I for a child if You see fit. Even now, I Pray that you would embrace the sweet baby that will share our heritage. I Pray that You will send that child when You know that the time is right for us. I Pray that it may not be too long until I can see its precious face, or even know of its development. As anxious as I may be, I realize that You will send a baby in Your time. I also Pray that it will be blessed of You before it even begins to grow in my womb.

Please God, continue to bless my family and friends. Touch my mother's body and heal her of any ailments that she may have. Bless her doctor's appointment on Monday and let us receive good news if it by Thy will. Please touch my father and heal his body. Give him strength as he works so hard so many hours each day for his family. Bless my parents for the love and the teaching that they have brought into my life. Please extend their days upon this earth Lord. Bless them greatly indeed.

Be with my precious baby brother. I am so excited for him because he is growing up to be such an upstanding young guy. He is a light for You which is more to me than any grades or sports recognition. I am so proud of what You have done through his life and are continuing to do. I Pray that You continue to keep him from evil (actually I Pray that for all of us) and that he will go on to do great things to glorify and magnify You.

I Pray for my precious husband who is always willing to go the extra mile for me. He is always so open to listen and so encouraging. He never gives up, even when I do in moments of personal weakness. I Pray that You bless him and keep him safe in your arms. I Pray that you use his opportunities to continue to glorify You. I thank You for his influences thus far on his coworkers and customers. I know that our children will have a beautiful first picture of You through him.

I also Pray for my Brittain-Goodlett family. Please help Sandy to see that she needs to turn back to You and tug at her heart so that she may desire to lead Craig to a Saving knowledge. Please help mamaw to depend on You and to desire to heal. Help Jess to make all the decisions she may face now or in the future and Save her soul Lord. I want her to experience You. I know that mamaw and uncle Bruce desire that even now in Heaven and are checking the arrivals daily to see which of us have entered Heaven to rejoice with them. I Pray for Gavin's soul and my future children's souls to be Saved at an early age. I Pray for James to be Saved. I Pray for Keith, Papaw Goodlett, and Wing to be Saved. I Pray for Judy and Tommy to be lead back to church service. I Pray for Ken to have the desire to go back and serve with his wife and children. I Pray that You use Alec and Lea in great ways to magnify You. I Pray for Felicia to be able to reach her papaw through love. I Pray for Cecil and Donna to be Saved if they aren't already. I Pray for the Thompson's who live next door to mom and dad and their Salvation. I Pray for Michael's lost friends/coworkers/customers to be Saved. I Pray for my lost friends/coworkers/students to be Saved. I Pray for all those who have lost people that they love. I Pray for Michael's coworker Joe's family in the loss of his mother. I Pray for Danielle's family. I Pray for Justin's, Pete's, Brian Wagner's, Joy Harrell's, Hannah Sobeski's, Ruth Bell Graham's, and any other family that has lost someone. Comfort them and show them that it is You and You alone who can help them.

Be with me throughout my day. Bless my desire to grow closer to You and continue to be my support as I try to do so. Help me be what You desire me to be. Bless these requests and let Thy will be done. I love you Father.

In Jesus' Precious and Holy Name I Pray....
Amen

Broken

Heavenly Father,

I come to you today and ask for forgiveness of all the sins that I have committed. I also thank you for everything that you have done in my life. I thank you most of all for my Salvation. I thank you for a way to Salvation, through your Son Jesus Dying on the Cross for my sins. There is no more beautiful portrait of love that has ever been painted than that. I thank you for my WONDERFUL family.... mom, dad, Billy, Michael, CC, Mamaw, Jess, Mon, My Goodlett family, etc. and my awesome friends.... Tina, Kim, Momma (again), etc. Thank you for providing for me when I have been iffy about where the money would come from. Thank you for being my strength throughout school and careers and life in general. Thank you for providing me with the strong sense of faith that I have and for forgiving me when that faith is tested and I fail.

I ask of you to please Save those who are the closest to hell today. Convict their hearts and their souls. Show them that Salvation is not about whether or not you are good or bad, but rather the whether the blood has been applied to the doorpost of your heart. Please Save Papaw Goodlett, Keith, Wing, Jess, Gavin (at an early age), James, Barb, Craig, Kaye, Danny, Michelle, John, Tyler, Jared, and anyone else who's name has left me. Some of the above may have gotten Saved, please just reassure that to me if so.
Please God also take care of my mom, dad, and brother. They are so good to me. So awesome. And they have and continue to work hard each day to be a good servant unto You. Please remember their lives and lengthen them if it be Your will. Touch their bodies and heal them of any ailments that are plaguing their bodies. Wrap your strong arms around them and keep them so safe from harm. Build a hedge of protection round about them every second of every day.
Please also be with my precious husband. He is a light to me in so many ways and has been so much this past year. I thank You God for what You have done in his life and in our marriage. You are to be exalted for the things that you have brought us through. I Pray for guidance for him and for strength. I Pray for good things at his workplace and with his fellow co-workers.
I also Pray that You take this situation with my job and just have Your will and way with it. Lord just touch my heart and help me be at peace with whatever Your will is. Help me to also be more open to Your voice and Your plans for me, whatever those may be. I know that wherever You want me, is where I will go. Please just be with us all through this tough situation.
Lastly, please bless Michael and I with a child. Lord, I so want to enjoy the ups and downs of motherhood. You, alone, know that I have dreamed of having children since I was a small child. I wanted to bring a baby into a well situated home and family and I feel like I am at that place now. Please, just bless us greatly indeed with a child. Please let that child be blessed of You and really make a difference in this world. I Pray for guidance even now for this area of my life.
Thank you for listening now and anytime that I do Pray. Thank you for all that You are in my life. I praise you Heavenly Father! In Jesus' High and Holy Name.........Amen.
