• My 7-part Morning Prayer:
  
  Dear Heavenly Father, (1) Thank You so much for waking me up this morning, and for giving me another day. (2) May the words of my wouth, and the meditations of my heart, be acceptable in Thy sight, O Lord, my Strength, and my Redeemer. (3) Please bless me indeed today, expand my territory (bring me to someone who I can be a blessing to), hold my hand in everything I do, and keep evil far, far, far, far away from me. (4) I kill my flesh now, and I present my body to you as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable unto You, which is my reasonable service. (5) Activate the mind of Christ in me (give me the mind of Messaiah), and let me live today, in the center of Your will. (6) Help me to remember Lord, that nothing is going to happen to me today, that You and I together can't handle. (7) I love you Lord so much. In Jesus' most precious Name I pray, Amen*
  
  There's a story to how each part of this prayer was developed and incorporated into my life, but it would take a while to explain, and I'm sure ya'll xanga headz don't have a lot of time and stuff. But suffice it to say, that prayed separately, each prayer will have a profound effect on your days, if you so decide to try them out. As for myself, I can testify that praying all these things together, before starting out my day, makes a huge difference. Stay prayerful 24/7, keeping a continual awareness of God's power and presence. I love you guys

  I don't deserve a dang thing.. but to all my friends and loved ones, both near and far, in the pictures and many who are not: you are in my heart, and I praise God every day, every hour, and every moment, for blessing someone like me, with people like you. I don't take any of you for granted, and I cherish every single moment we may share, whether in person, online, on the phone, or even in spirit. And to my Lord, Savior, and Redeemer Jesus Christ: Please don't ever lose patience with me. My heart's desire is to serve You, to the best of my abilities. The joy I have found in You is unspeakable, and I'm asking You to please hold my hand always and just never stop loving me. I know I don't deserve You, nor do I deserve Your grace, mercy, or compassion; and I know that I am nothing without You. Thank You for not giving up on me. Thank You Lord so much, from the bottom of my heart, for covering me with Your grace. Please see my heart above all things; lead me, and walk beside me, as I bless Your Name. Amen*

  II Corinthians 7:5-6 "....our flesh had no rest, but we were troubled on every side; without were fightings, within were fears. Nevertheless God, that comforteth those that are cast down, comforted us..."
  
  
  
  from prayer cards for "Overcoming Guilt":
  
  Father, I praise You with my whole heart that when the wicked forsakes his ways and the evil man his thoughts and turns to You, You will have mercy on him, for You will freely pardon! (Isaiah 55:7)
  
  Father, I thank You that You've had mercy on me according to Your unfailing love; according to Your great compassion You blot out my transgressions. You can wash away all my iniquity and cleanse me from my sin... You can create in me a pure heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me (Psalms 51:1-2,10)
  
  My faithful God, sorrow has led me to repentance. I pray that I have become sorrowful as You intended and was helped rather than hurt by the confrontation of my sin. Thank You for the godly sorrow that brings repentance leading to salvation and leaving no regret (II Corinthians 7:9-10)
  
  Father, Your Word says that if Your people will turn now, each of us, from our evil practices, we can stay in the land You have given us (Jeremiah 25:5)

  DAILY NEEDS: the "shortened version" of the Lord's Prayer
  Give us today the food we need, and forgive us our sins… (Matthew 6:11-12 NLT)
  I learned this from the P.D.L. devotional I get from Margaret every day: what we should be praying for, in the most basic and simplest of forms, is FOOD and FORGIVENESS. think about that one....
  
  news: MarQ Romeroz back!! And Switz/Jersey Crossroad represented madd hard at Equilibrium on Saturday.... among other things: this Holy Week, I pray Lord that You accept our sacrifice to You, and may we always, continually live as servants of righteousness*
  
  LORD YOU ARE GOOD AND YOUR MERCY ENDURETH FOREVER!! -God bless*
