worship you

LORD
Thank you for listening to our prayers. Thank you for caring about our small problems. Thank you that your plans are to prosper us and not to harm, but to give us a hope and a future.

Forgive us for getting bogged down in all that's wrong with our lives. Help us to remember you, to remember all that you have delivered us from. To remember how far we have come since we first believed.

This is the day that you have made
and I will be glad and rejoice in it

I choose to let my spirit soar with you
even as my body suffers

I choose to believe that you are in control
because I know i'm definitely not in control.

I choose to believe that I am more than a conqueror
even tho it feels like i'm losing the battle

Because my life is not about me. I belong to you. You bought me for a price - my Saviour's life. Who am I that I should doubt your faithfulness? You have never changed. You are the same 2,000 years ago as you are today.

Why do you care for me LORD?
Why does it matter to you if I don't know how to love?
Why do I matter to you?

Satan is trying to convince me that I would be better off without you. Then I wouldn't have to struggle with my relationships, with living up to an impossible standard. I could enjoy my life and use everything i have to get a head, buy a house, travel around the world. He would definitely stop bothering me and I would live a safe, cruisie easy life.

But I know he's the Father of lies. That he's full of half truths. I don't want to spend an eternity with him. So I would have an easy 60 years but what's that compared to an eternity of HELL?? My life right this moment is only temporary. My problems only temporary.

What are you trying to teach me now LORD? To lean on you more? To love more? To trust more? To believe more?

If I am going to suffer today then fill me with your joy, renew my mind so I can enjoy this day that you have given me. I refuse to focus on the crap. I would rather remember you. Sing your praises even tho I don't feel like it.

For nothing compares to you LORD. I know you love me. I can look back on my life and see your loving hand guiding me. How can I turn my back on you when you have NEVER abandoned me.

I'm going to do things that I love today. Already myles has planned for us to go hang out with family that make me laugh. I have just gotten off the phone with a girlfriend who has bigger problems then me and she sounded so positive. Thanks, LORD, for taking care of me.
