  Lord let this be my prayer today and every day More of You and all that You are flowing out of me Let people not see me but see God who loves them With an unconditional love that surpasses understanding True wisdom is knowing that I am nothing apart from You And I want my life to shout that from the mountain top Open my eyes to opportunities to serve those in my care Allow me to speak from Your heart to the core of theirs I want to be Your mouthpiece and Your hands and feet May I seize every opportunity to point others to You Life is but a blink but I want my blink to bring You glory I have been given countless blessings and opportunities Let me never take for granted the ministry given to me You have given us a unique space to share You in our jobs We have a full time ministry in work, marriage, parenting, etc This life isn’t even mine but I was bought with a price The highest of prices saved me when You took my place How can I contain the joy that

  Number Praise the God that holds the world in His hands That knows the number of hairs on my head The sum of beats my heart makes a minute The amount of tears that have fallen from my eyes He knows all He sees all and He controls all Nothing has been done apart from His will   Praise the God that holds my heart in His hands Bring me closer to Himself every day Has plans to bring me hope and a future Allows me the opportunity to walk with Him He has done great things and will continue Now and forevermore praise the Lord   Praise the God who took our place on the cross Carried the weight of our sins on His shoulders Eternal life is the prize that awaits us If you confess that Jesus is Lord And believe that He rose from the dead You will be saved and spend forever with Him   Praise the God who will know wins in the end That has already conquered sin and death The end is written and the enemy defeated We can walk in the victory of the Lor

  Good morning Daddy it’s a beautiful day The sun is shining our journey is on its way I grab Your hand and we take our first step With You next to me fear runs to the left When I am with You joy fills my heart May we always walk together never apart You are the One who leads me to still water I am Your child and You are my Father Every step I take is in sync with You my King I am never ever alone because You’re with me Even in the quiet spaces and lonely places You’re beside me to calm my heart as it races Every day is more time to spend with just us When I walk on my path it is treacherous Forgive me for walking steps away from You I surrender and jump back on the road with You You are holy and worthy regardless of my vision All I can see is fear and doubt there is collision Remove the blinders that these have given me This life is not mine but I live for Your glory

  I look out the window at the world today Everything inside and outside looks bleak The sky is dark and clouds forming above Rain is now pouring rapidly on the ground   Fear is being spread like wildfire these days Not sure what is true and what is fake news But I do know one thing that hasn’t changed That my God sits on the throne and in control   I trust in the One who holds the world in His hands He has never left me alone this is a part of His plan Come back to the Father who wants to hold You close He is still God and He is still in complete control

  Forgive me for being impatient O Lord And not sitting quiet in Your presence I talk too much and I listen too little I tell You I want to hear from You But I don’t shut up and silence myself Why do I do the opposite of what I desire Teach me Father to humble myself before You I can never hear from You if I don’t stop So I bow down face down at Your feet I silence my mouth and sit to listen from You Quiet my heart to allow my ears to hear I just want sit in Your presence with You

  What a sweet fragrance that comes from You A sweet time it is to spend in Your presence That aroma that draws me into You Worship flows out of me as I spend time Intimacy deeper than one can fathom You know me to my deepest core of my being Seen me for all my flaws and abnormalities My shortcomings, failures, and imperfections The me that very few have ever seen or will Lord You see it all because I cant hide anything from you But despite me, You love me unconditionally My head hurts trying to comprehend that I lay all of me at the foot of Your cross As I am reminded of my redemption Your precious blood that covers it all Tears fill my eyes as I envision Your torture But it had to be done to save the world Thank You Jesus for desiring Your Father’s will And taking my place when I deserved death You have given me a second chance at life May that sweet aroma of all that You are Flow out of me and help me share with others So they can know you

  King of the world and King of my life I lay all of me at Your feet take control Letting go of my tightly held fist I relinquish my will in the pursuit of Yours You know what I need, lack, and desire You know what the absolute best for me is I am lost without the knowledge of You Goodness is only found in Your presence And that’s the only place I want to be I surrender to the power of You my King For You are true peace, love, hope and grace Your mercies for me are new every morning Hallelujah for that cuz I am in desperate need Your strength is made best in my weakness So Lord make me weak so that You can restore Empower me to be the woman Ive been called I desperately need you both in health and sickness When things are great and when they are the worst You are still a good Father and a good God I look forward to our intimate time spent together You are my favorite part of every single day I cant wait to taste all the goodness You have for me

  I am Yours Lord and all that I am I give as a liquid offering to You Pour out all of me and fill me with all that You are Lord Here I am, send me use me to bring Your name glory Let me take hold of every opportunity laid before me Remove fear from me and replace it with Your boldness Allow me to a vessel to remind the world of its God May I represent You well and bring You fame Lord I want every part of me to point others You Help me to see what parts of me and are not of You Point them out so that I can look more like You God Sweet Lord I want to look more like You each day Because I know I am extremely selfish and full of pride I need You just to take a breath or every make a move And King Jesus I surrender to the things You have for me

  Heal our land Lord our land is so far from its moral roots Our forefathers founded this land in You In God we trust and prayer started every meeting But we have turned from it all to evil ways No longer protecting the lives of our citizens We so desperately need You King Jesus Take over our country and heal our land Start with us Lord start a revival with us May we return to our first love that is You Remember why we left England to here We came for religious freedom to worship Show us Lord the wicked ways we’ve taken Bring us back to heart of God the Father And bring salvation within our borders again Use us to bring fame and glory to You Strengthen us to stand for truth and justice Because in God we trust and can stand firm We know how the story ends with You victorious But Lord may we be about our Fathers business Until the final word of history is lived out

  We Are Meant We are meant to look more like Jesus everyday To erase the parts of us that are self centered  And replace them with the selfless love of God When Jesus entered our hearts after believing He started to transform us from the inside out Giving us a new purpose and path to follow Wanting us to pursue what He wills for us Knowing that what He has in store is best Each day we should look less like ourselves  And more like Jesus who calls us His own Who took our place who took our cross Selfless laid down His life for you and me Defeated the grave so that we may be saved And to experience grace and mercy and love What a gift that He has given us a second chance That He has called us into new life in Him So we may experience blessings on blessings At the end of each day ask yourself this question  Did I look more like Jesus or more like me

  Nothing But Forgiveness Look the good, bad, and ugliness you gave me I hold no grudges but I let it all go now Things were rough and didn’t get better  You’ll never know the damage you made You used me and everything was all toxic Nothing good came out of all of that But I am not holding onto bitterness anymore Can’t go back and change the past But I want you to know I’m not holding onto it Because over here there’s nothing but forgiveness Having experienced the love of the Father There’s no hatred here in my heart for you I’ve been forgiven for my laundry list of sins So friends forgive those who’ve wronged you Look people will hurt you and they will break you But hurt people hurt other people you know It’s not an excuse but we are called to let go To forgive what seems unforgivable to you Because Christ forgave the unforgivable for you

  Naming and Owning Look me in the eyes I can tell you Without a shadow of a doubt That I am a complete and total failure I can’t do anything on my own Everything I touch turns to garbage I am naming and owning my failures But the beauty is there’s a gracious God Who changed everything about me But I am still a failure on my own Apart from Him everything means nothing  God has called me out of the garbage  He has given me a new name and purpose Everything He touches turns prosperous He has created a newness within me  I no longer am living this life but Christ in me Because without Him I can’t move or breathe My heart can’t beat and lungs can’t expand Because He is in control of everything This life is a second chance He’s given me To use every moment to honor Him May I never miss out on an opportunity  To share or show the love of Christ Jesus

  Today Today I choose to lift my eyes up to You I choose joy instead of fear for my day To trust that God You’ve never failed me And You’re not going to start that today I choose to see beauty in the chaos To see the world through Your eyes And know that You are in control of it all I humbly how before Your throne God Offer all of me to be use for Your glory That I may be a beacon of light for You To shine in this dark world and point to You Today I choose to be Your ambassador  To show the world the God who loves them Who is inviting them into fellowship with You And to be the person to point to the Way Let every word and action bring You fame That others will see You in me and want You I choose today to surrender my agenda To give up my selfish plans and my motives And claim Your will to be what’s done in my life I want what You have God nothing more or less I need You desperately and want You deeply Lord use me today I am clay in Your hands Mold me into who You need me to be today

  Lord I want every part of me to show all of you For people to see Jesus in everything I do Whether thats eating drinking or just being Your glory is the reason that I am breathing I want your kingdom to come here on earth So that every person can see what they’re worth That love be spread like a wildfire to the woods Instead of finding love in all these worldly goods Burn the dry hearts into full blown flames Let this place erupt singing and bring you praise God I wanna smell like You I wanna taste like You I wanna see like You I wanna hear like You I wanna feel like You I wanna be like You All glory to the King who gives us unconditional grace And calls out of death into life calls by name So that we can be apart of His kingdom above And while here on this earth be messengers of love To show this world what He's done for them Freedom is theirs and it's a gift to all men We've been given a second chance at this life So spread the love to all spread it like fire Let the wh

  Why is that I keep putting my hands back into the same shackles I've been redeemed from why do i keep going back to the very thing I’ve been saved from and claimed it as my struggle Why can’t i let go of the very things that I was rescued from I stay in the misery instead of embracing the joy that free Freedom doesn’t seem to come so easily for me I am overwhelmed by my need to chained to something I keep reaching out to be saved from my own self Laying down in a puddle of my made up fears looking back at me Tear falling down to the floor and trying not to slip back into the past Rolling down this road reminds of the girl I used to be Standing here in the cold hoping to never return to that place But you are waiting there with open arms to hold me Leaving the freedom to chase the past filled with pain and regret Let the rivers flow and wash away the fear of yesterday How can I just pack this up and just leave it here and walk away I feel like its a part of me and almost like it h
