Father, You are Persistent

Father in Heaven~

     You are the Lover of my soul~ Thank You!

     Thank You that You don't abandon me and leave me to my own schemes!

     Often I am willful or lazy~ yet You keep working to bring me to the place I need to be. Your Holy Spirit sanctifies me.

     You are persistent where I am lacking. You are strong yet tender. Thank You Lord~

     Lord of my life, Master of my heart, Saviour of my soul.

     The enemy has worked to hold Your purpose back, to stop the fulfillment of my calling. Thank You that You have not allowed that to be!

     Thank You that layer by layer You work through me, setting everything to right.

     I pray Jesus' blood over each area set right, that it cannot be disturbed by the enemy.

     I love You, Lord, You are mighty and powerful. You are good all of the!

     Thank You that You have never taken Your eye off of me and You have never forsaken me. You have walked closely with me through it all~ You are steadfast!

Psalm 16

Please Only One

Father in Heaven~ 

     I am Yours, Lord, please come close and let me feel Your breath on my face. I am sorry that I've let the things of the world have too much attention and too much energy. 
     You are the desire of my heart! Sometimes I get caught up and distracted by what I think might be what I'm supposed to do I'm led astray trying to please too many "masters"~ the world, family, friends, ministry husband~ and it is not that they demand my attention, it is my own doing! I need to stay on focus that my only need is to please You. 
     Forgive me, please Father! I am stilling my soul before You, listening for Your voice. Seeking Your peace. <3

My Hope~

Father in Heaven~
     I am Yours~ Your word says I will be persecuted because of that and it is true, I am~
     I am not my own. I am not free to do everyone's bidding. I am to do Your bidding.
     Please comfort me, Lord, as I  live shut out of the lives of some people~ as I live rejected by the religious~
     My hope is in You and You alone!~<3

Mine is Yours

Father in Heaven~
     I love You, Lord!~
     I am thankful that I am in Your hands and all that is mine is really Yours!~
     I can do all things through You~ all things that You have called me to! <3

October 24, 2016

Big in You!

Father in Heaven~
     I love You! Thank You for loving me. You are all things to me~ my purpose for living my comfort and my strength. As my body grows older I lean more on You~ when I was young I thought I could do anything, but as I age I realize what I can do need to be what You want me to do~ I can do all things You call me to do.
     Father, please hold me close let me feel Your breath on my face. Let me be Your garden, but please be my garden~ draw me in Holy Spirit, let me inhale Your sweet frangrance~ let me grow strong in Your presence. Let me live in Your peace that surpasses all comprehension. I don't want to just feel it occasionally, I want to be saturated in it! That when I go among people they feel Your peace!
     You amaze me, Father~ You are so much@ So much power, so much love, so much holiness, so much joy, so much patience, so much lovliness~ Even as we stood in awe and silence at the Grand Canyon I can only imagine how much greater the awe of You would be!
     My world has grown small in man, but uncontained in You!
     We can live small in the world or big in You! Seldom both. <3 October 18, 2016

Good Morning Father,
     I heard You in the thunder Lord. You are powerful & mighty!
     People think they are powerful with their electricity systems~ but You can wipe it out in a blink.
     We think we know power in automobiles and weapons, but Your power makes the Earth tremble.
     Father, please forgive our arrogance! We are like ants running around like our lives are the only important thing. We are foolish Lord, please forgive us and protect us from Your wrath. 
     Father, among people I am alone. You are my Sanctuary and Your Holy Spirit, my only companion~ 
Please hold me close to Your heart~
Please strengthen me that I don't grow feeble~ 
Please give me clarity of thought. when You speak, let me hear~
When You speak let me hear, When You direct, help me to follow. 
     Please restore the joy of my salvation.
     You are my Rock and my Fortress and I look to You in all things Father~ <3

I Trust You

Father in Heaven~
     You are my Father and I cling to You.
     When I don't understand~ I trust You.
     Things can be confusing and life frustrating, but I trust You.
     When I don't trust people or situations, I trust You.
     You are my Rock and my Fortress, my help comes from You.
     I meet You in the sanctuary and You comfort me.
     I meet You in the night and You teach me.
     I meet You in the sunshine and You lead me.
     You are high above me, but never far from me! My heart expands seeking Your touch, seeking Your presence.
     You are powerful to move mountains, but gentle to knit together a baby in its mother's womb.
     How great You are Lord! How great You are!
     I cannot grasp it all~
     All that I am is Yours, please lead me in Your ways, show me Your will and it is what I will do.
     Please strengthen me Father, please cleanse away the wrong parts of me. Make me whole, make me pure, make me innocent, make me what You want me to be. <3 October 3, 2016

Restore me, Lord

Father in Heaven~
     This morning I was awakened and You felt far from me~ I have always heard that when God feels far from you that it isn't Him that moved.
     That makes me examine myself! I have developed a bad habit that would interfere with hearing You and feeling Your presence~ I have kept an electronic game close by~ for the times I can't sleep~ I'm sorry Father, please forgive me that I have put my own entertainment before hearing Your voice. 
     It has crept in gradually Lord~ I'm sorry I was not on better guard. I will root it out now and listen intently for Your voice.
     Please bind my wondering thought to You, I purpose to teak every thought captive. Holy Spirit please come into this area and help me set it right.
     Please forgive me, Father, please put me in right standing again.
     Your presence is all to me~ way more important than my entertainment! 
     I am seeking Your face~
     I want to feel Your breath on my face~
     I want to be Your garaden~ 
     I long to walk with You like Enoch~
     I love You Lord and lay my life before You~ 
     Cleanse me and create in me a clean heart and renew a steadfast heart in me, Lord. Do not cast me away from Your presence and do not take Your Spirit from me. Restore to me the joy of Your salvation and sustain me with a willing spirit. Psalm 51:10-12 

<3  October 2, 2016

Father in Heaven~
     Hallowed, Honored & Glorified be Your name~ You are mighty & magnificent!
     Thank You, Father, for being my Protector & Provider! Thank You for Your love, mercy & grace. You are all things good! You are steadfast and You will never forsake me!
      Jesus, Jesus~ name above all names~ Blessed Redeemer! Thank You! Without Your life, death, victory, & resurrection I would be lost with no hope~ but with Your blood I am clean~ forgiven~ in relationship with my Heavenly Father.
     Holy Spirit~ Helper, Teacher, Comforter, Thank You~ You are the Power in my life~ You are the GPS for my walk~ (God Positioning System)
     Father~ I've been through this before, but I need continual work~ Please create in me a "right spirit" and a whole, healthy, loving heart.
     I do purpose to love Your people but I need help. I can't seem to love everyone on my own. Some I don't even like~ =(  I'm sorry.
     I don't know why I have such high expectations for others~ but I need help to forgive them when they don't meet them. It makes me want to have nothing to do with them, but I know You would want me to love them anyway. <3 September 20, 2016

Full Attention

Father in Heaven~
     I stand before You! Let my full attention rest on You! Please help me get rid of the parts of me that aren't right.
     More of You & less of me~
     Help me to see through Your eyes~
     You are God, I am a man! You are the Creator~ I am what You made~
     Thank You that You are steadfast and will complete a good work that You have started. I love You, Father~ You are beyond what I can fathom.
     You are good, holy, righteous, love, constant, all powerful~ all knowing~ my Salvation & my Hope~ <3  August 31, 2016

You Are Constant

Father in Heaven~
     You are constant!
     Jesus, You are Regal~
     I know You have been a Babe in a manager~ A Teacher on a mountainside~ A Bleeding Man on a cross and a Corpse in a grave~ but not now!
     You will be a King on a horse, You will be the Bridegroom~
     but for now, You are our Saviour, Redeemer, Healer~ You are the Victor over the enemy & death!
     You are our Regal Champion!
     Thank You, Jesus! I praise You, I praise Your Holy name!
     Thank You for Your faithfulness for Your love, for Your forgiveness, for Your precious blood.
     Thank You that You brought me into a whole relationship with You, with Yahweh & the Holy Spirit.
     Holy Spirit, thank You that You have come to teach and lead me into a deeper, more complete relationship with the full Trinity who is my Creator! <3 September 17, 2016

Never fails

Father in Heaven~
     You are faithful in all things~
     when Your creation is unfaithful,
     ~You are steadfast
     when Your creation demands it's own way,
     ~Your love never wains, never fails~
<3 August 19, 2016




Father in Heaven~
     I love You Lord~
     You are constant, You never fail.
     Please forgive me for being so self-absorbed ~ for focusing so much attention on my self~
I guess that is redundant, but I want to face it, I think too much of myself!
     I am where You want me, please help me to glorify You in what I do.
     Please soften my heart that whatever You bring into my life is more easily allowed to have its way.
     Please give me the strength to go through the trials that will develop Your character in me.
     Father the world is hurtful to me~ Please hold me close to Your heart~ my tear bottles must be full by now?
     I know the world was not kind to Jesus, so why would it be to me? <3 September 20, 2016

Yet~

Father in Heaven~
     You are too good to me!~ You are loving, patient and kind!~
I have nothing worthy of Your love, but yet You love me!~
     I have done nothing worthy of Your blessings, and yet You bless me!~
     I do not stand out among people, but You are aware of everything about me.~
You know the number of hairs on my head, my words before I speak them.~
     You know the desires of my heart~
and the mistakes and sins I have given to You, the ones I Have repented and been cleansed from You have removed from me and forgotten! As they no longer exist! In Your vision of me, I stand cleansed and forgiven under Jesus' blood!
     I am Your daughter~no longer a wayward, sinful woman, but a forgiven and reinstated daughter!
     Only Your great love could have brought this to be. Your great love sacrificed Your Son to cleanse me and pay the debt for my sin that I could never cover on my own.
     Thank You Father~
     You are the Rock of Truth that I stand on, You are the Strong Tower of Love where I am safe. 
     You are my Deliverer and Chapion~
     The Great Creator of all things! King of Kings and Lord of Lords!

Order My Time Correctly

Father in Heaven~
     I come to relax and open before You~
     Sometimes I get so bound up, trying to be so many things to so many people~ I get tight and tense~ I know I'm not really everything to them and I'm not always good at being anything but the trying to be is what binds me up~ So ~ I guess I need to realize I'm not what they need, it's You! My priority is to point them to You~ sometimes that's easier said than done~ Teach me how Father, please and please teach me to order my day correctly. 12 hours for me, 8 hours for You and 4 for others~ How does that even look? Is a Revival hours for me, You or others? Is Facebook or blog for me, You or others? Whose is the time spent creating things? Please show me Your wisdom in this. Please show me the Path clearly~ don't let me wander onto the wrong one! Thank You for this beautiful Sanctuary!Thank You for always being ready to meet me! <3 August 13, 2016, A random Dock at Lake Ponca =)

Bruised and Hurt

Good Morning Father,
     I creep into Your presence Lord~ bruised and hurt~ there is no one on Earth that fellowships with me. You are my Rock & Stong Tower~ I know in Your creation I am not one of the strong. I am physically weakened~I am not as I once was~Young, strong, healthy~ Please draw me close and let me be strong through You.
     The whole world exists through Your power, please put a little power in me. Power to walk through the world and not be bowed by what other people say and do. In Jesus' name, I break the chains and words that others put on me. I choose to forgive them~ I choose to stand in Your word, Your light and to walk Your path, not the path of the world.
  Romans 8:1...
.... now no condemnation awaiting those who belong to Christ Jesus. For the power of the life~giving Spirit~and this power is mine through Christ Jesus~ he has freed me from the vicious circle of sin and death.
   Romans 12:1~
...Give your bodies to God. Let them be a living sacrifice, holy~ the kind He can accept...be a new and different person with a fresh newness in all you do and think.
     Father, I lay my life, my heart, my souls, my words~ all that I am before You and beg You to show me where to change~please show me my errors.
<3 June 2016

Minister to Yahweh

Father in Heaven~
     Good morning Lord!
     Thank You for always being with me~ Thank You for never forsaking me!
     When I feel alone or lonely it's not because You have left me, it's because I haven't turned to You.
     You are merciful, loving, & kind! You are long-suffering and full of grace.
     Father, thank You that all things are in Your hands~ thank You that even when things are different You are there to help us through.
     You are mighty and powerful~ deserving all glory, and Jesus, You are my Saviour, Lord, and Champion. Thank You that You even purchased my freedom with Your sacrifice and Your blood! The victory is Yours! You are my King and Lord and I will serve You all the days of my life.
     Holy Spirit, thank You that You have come to live within me, to walk with me always, and to teach me as You draw me into a deeper relationship with Yahweh.
     Please teach me to minister to You Father. Please guide me to walk in a pleasing way to You. I know there didn't use to be women priests, but it is what You have put on my heart, to minister to You~ please show me how. <3

     Hallowed be Your name~ You are mighty, powerful, the Great Creator of all things! I love You Father, thank You for loving me.
     Father, I know all things are in Your hand and I am so thankful! I could not handle life on my own. Thank You that mom is in Your hands. Thank You that my sons and granddaughter are in Your hands, thank You that the US is in Your hands. Thank You that Lane and I are in Your hands!
     You are faithful, generous, forgiving, long-suffering, full of mercy, and grace.
     Father, I do decree the people of Ponca City, of Kay County of Oklahoma, of the U.S., are one people, one Nation under God! and I ask Father that You would send warring angels on behalf of Your children, held captive by drug addiction, destruction, pornography, gambling and all spirits of self. Break them free Father! let them come and worship You! Set the captives free!
     Please send Your hosts to guard our borders from those who would sneak in to destroy our nation. Please stop those within who have pitted themselves against Your bride, Please stir Your warriors~ male and female, that they will rise up and stand against the enemy that would destroy Your nation! One nation under God! <3

Complicated but Simple

Father in Heaven~
     Good Morning! Lord, You are complicated~ in You there is no time passing, no beginning no end...there is no distance... You are everywhere! But You are also simple! You are Holy, Righteous, Love, Patience...all things good! and You require obedience and desire love!
     I am Your daughter and I love You, but so much of You and what You do is a mystery to me. I am thankful that I don't have to understand, simply hear & obey!
     You are a Good Father, thank You for Your love, for Your protection, Your provision. Thank You that You plucked Land and me up from the mud! Thank You that You have cleansed us and pointed us in the right direction! 
     Thank You Holy Spirit that You have come to teach, to lead, to correct, comfort and encourage us as You lead us into a deeper understanding of our Heavenly Father and as You show us the glory of our Saviour!
     Thank You, Jesus, our Dread Champion! You fought the enemy that held us captive in our own sins. You are the Victor that set me free! Your precious blood paid the price for my selfish ways and then it washed me white as snow. You are my Saviour, Redeemer, Healer, Brother, Bridegroom, King of Kings & Lord of Lords!
     I do ask Lord that You bind me to You, that I never wander or lag behind. Please help me to always stay in Your will. Please help me to love, to forgive and to move past what others might do to hinder me from Your path. I do submit to You and ask You to make of me what You will. In Jesus' name~ <3  May 6, 2016
   

Bind My Heart Lord

Father in Heaven~
     I love You Lord and I am sorry for any unfaithfulness that I have had!I read Your word and see how Your people have turned away from You over and over~
I'm sorry Lord. I repent for myself and I repent for them.
     I have no explanation why people have been so foolish, but yet I have acted foolishly also~
     You created us in love and we have been so selfish and rebellious! I'm sorry Father! I love You and I am thankful that You are the Father that ran!
     I do turn to You and ask, "What would You have me do Lord? I do open myself and my days to You and say I am Yours Lord, You are my God, my Lord, and my Salvation". 
     Please bind my heart to You that I never roam again. <3 April 21, 2016

Long Suffering

Good morning Father!

     Thank You Abba, You are my Shepherd ~ You find and give me rest, You give me peace and calm, You lead me in Your path, You provide all that I need, I shall not want, You restore and renew me.
      I am Yours, Lord, and You are mine! The Earth and all in it are Yours! Your joy is my strength!
     Thank You Father, that You are long suffering~ You did not give up on me when I was rebellious, You are full of mercy and grace, celebrating when I repent. For Your namesake, You have brought me out of the wilderness of the world.
     Let my words, actions and thoughts bring glory to You Father! Let my heart sing of Your goodness always! <3

Faithfulness

Father in Heaven~
     Thank You, Father, that You are the Father that ran! You are the One who restores Your children, You are the One that brings us into fellowship with Yourself.
     Thank You that we don't have to stay distant acquaintances! Thank You that You bring us in as disciples and we can choose to become Your bondservants and that is possible to become Your friend and Your son or daughter! What an amazing progression!
     Master, when I try to grasp all that You are it boggles my mind! You are too great for me to grasp! You are all-powerful but gentle enough to knit a baby in a mother's womb. You are able to be everywhere but also able to sit in a quiet room with me! Your voice can be as loud as thunder or as quiet as a soft whisper!
     You are aware of my thoughts and my words before I speak them!
     Jesus, my Saviour, Redeemer, Brother, Bridegroom, and King!
     Thank You that You bought my freedom with Your own blood. Thank You that You have washed me clean and new! You are the Champion that set me free from the dungeon of sin! I love You and praise You and will serve You all the days of my life. I know that You have gone to prepare a place for me that where You are I maybe also, because Your word tells me so. John 14. Until You return for me please show me what You would have me do! I know it is to advance Your Kingdom, so please lead me in Your ways!
     Holy Spirit, Thank You for Your faithfulness~day in and day out. You work in me to bring me to my Father's will. Thank You that You never give up!  <3  April 6, 2016

Pearl in the Field

Father in Heaven,
     Lord, I do draw close to You, I do seek Your face, I do need Your presence and quiet my soul to seek You.
     I am thankful that You love me and You desire my presence, how amazing is that?
     You are the great I Am! the Alpha and Omega - the Creator of all things and the Ancient of Days.

Holding My Hand

Father in Heaven~ 
   (What a wonderful home You have!)
     I love You, Lord! Thank You You for loving me!
     You amaze me - You are powerful and gentle, grace and justice, Large & small. Every where, but not seen except by those who search ~ =)
     Please guide me, Father, Help me do what You want - show me Your path, Your doors - the places You want me to go, the things You want me to do, the words You want me to speak - please, help me love Your children as You do -
     I know You have much work for those willing, and I am willing and available to do what You will- please strengthen and direct me Father. 
     I do ask for a deeper walk with You, not a memorization of Your word only, but to feel Your breath on my face, to know I am with You, in Your will and purpose.
     Father, I don't always pray like others, but I do always feel You close, like I'm a child walking through a store- You hold my hand and let me look and touch, but You are always there, Thank You!
      Thank You for Your careful love and please keep me always tuned into You! February 8, 2016

Slow My Thoughts

Father in Heaven~
     Lord, I slow my thoughts to focus on You.
     You are amazing, powerful and gentle~
     Righteous & Loving~
     You have the power to create galaxies and yet You are gentle enough to knit a baby together in its mother's womb!
     You are righteous and You require righteousness in Your people - yet You are so loving that You provide the covering through Jesus that lets them be covered by His righteousness~
     You know all- yet You let us move along slowly until we are able to bear the things we need to endure- You know we'll let You down but You still love us. 
     You amaze me! We forsake You, but You never forsake us~We always ask from You~seldom giving back and You continue to give~
     Lord I long to be free from this clay vessel-to be free in Your presence, to dance, to float & to fly!
     Please forgive me for all of these selfish desires that keep me from being completely submitted to You. Thank You that You have not given up on me.
     Jesus, my Redeemer & Saviour, my Big Brother- You are my only Super Hero! You have more facets than I can begin to grasp~ gentle, loving, forgiving, interceding, meek, and You have the fruit of the Spirit, so joy must follow You always! But I know You are returning as a Conqueror! You will have a sword from Your mouth-You are able to make man fall with a word from Your mouth- Amazing power!
     Holy Spirit, You walk with me daily, encouraging, comforting, correcting- You were the power that created the world at the Father's word and yet You spend time with me! I know that by Your standards I am so rough, yet You continue working on me, smoothing the rough edges, shining, filing~
     Thank You, You never give up! <3 January 22, 2016

Walk of Love

Good morning Father,

     In the night You hear my prayers and I am so thankful. You never leave me alone, I am never abandoned or left to handle my life by myself. You are faithful and constant, I do pray for an opportunity to make You happy, to make You proud, to bring You more glory. I know to many times I have made the wrong choices, I have put my desires and my will before Yours, I'm sorry Father, I'm so sorry.

     Too much I had heard of You and thought I knew You - to know You is so much more! and even now there is so much more of You to know!

     Thank You Holy Spirit that You have come to live in us and to lead us into a deeper understanding of our Father Creator.

     Holy Spirit, You amaze me - You have come to live in us, to teach, encourage, comfort, correct - for the rest of our time on Earth, maybe longer? What a trying and tedious job that must be, but You never quit- You continue to bring us into a closer relation-ship with our Heavenly Father and Jesus our Saviour. Thank You!

     Father, we have so many needs, without You we are lost - without hope. My trust is in You- You are my Protector and Provider - You have wrapped Your cloak of love around me, I am Yours! What joy! What freedom there is in You! 

     So I come back to wanting to please You Father, to honor & glorify You- help me to have courage and conviction to walk in all Your ways, even when it appears I'm walking against the voices of mankind-let me hear Your voice and follow Your path only.. Lead me in all Your ways Abba- let my walk always be one of love.

Father in Heaven

Father in Heaven,
I love You and thank You for walking with me, teaching me, comforting me, encouraging me; especially thank You for forgiving me. I'm seeing that there are many areas I fall short in.
     Some of these areas are beyond me to change, I need Your help and Your power.
     I do bring myself to You and ask "Lord, please change me! Please help me to grow in faith, joy & peace. Help me to lay my will down, help me to forgive completely - everyone! Please help me to grow more respectful of my husband.
     So many things I'm asking You for today, but so many areas that I'm seeing that need change.
     Please help me be "quick to hear and slow to speak". James 1:19
     Please "implant Your word""which is able to save my soul" James 1:21
     
     James 1:25 But one who looks intently at the perfect law, the law of liberty, and abides by it, not having become a forgetful hearer but an effectual doer, this man will be blessed in what he does.
