my daily prayer

I have started a daily prayer. It reflects my personal situation...and it allows me to pray to God for a few seconds or minutes on end!!

I am praying for the Lord's protection. I feel I really need it at the moment. It always has the same structure:
  • Lord please protect my family (Me, Tali and baby. Pray that we are a family protected from our own sins, that we are a family unit that loves, trusts and serves)
  • Lord please protect my marriage (tali and me. that the attacks, the weaknesses we face do not destroy it)
  • Lord please protect Tali (especially as she has baby inside her. protect her physically, emotionally and spiritually. especially protect her from anything I may do!)
  • Lord please protect baby (from the stresses that Tali faces, from our own ignorance in looking after a baby, from choices we may make)
  • Lord please protect me (I especially need it. Protection from temptation and my own weaknesses. From bad choices I make.)

Sometimes I just ask for protection from each....other times I get on my knees and get into details. Sometimes I remember to praise the Lord for the protection he gives me without me even knowing it!
