Dear Gracious and Heavenly Father,
Please help me to obey your will, to say I can and I will instead of I can't and I don't want to. You would never place me in a situation in which You knew I could not handle. I can handle any situation thrown in front of me because of Your infinate wisdom and love.
So many things I have laid upon my heart that I desperately need You to take hold of. I am not strong enough on my own to bear them or wise enough to resolve them. I ask for Your guidance in these matters so that every thought I think, every word I speak, every hug and kiss I give, every decision I make be not a reflection of my own self but a true reflection of You and Your love for me and all of your children.
You, and only you control the past, present, and future; all for Your glory. I fear that the people on my heart right now are hurting badly and I just pray Lord that you would let me be a light to them so that when they look at me, they see You and Your promise that everything will work itself out in time in just the manner that only You can tell. These life experiences, although seem unbearable to some at this moment, will one day be looked back upon and considered only minor stumbling blocks compared to the prize which lay ahead.
We are forever blessed with an Eternal Heavenly Father whose loves us not only in times of joy and triumph but also in times of sorrow and despair. You understand our every need even before we do. You know our hopes, dreams, goals, fears, and flaws and You still love us unconditionally. You pick us up and put us back on our feet as well as knock us down in order that we might stand firmer on Your word. Earthly fathers discipline their children in order to teach them; You do the same because You love us more than we can even begin to comprehend.
I ask Your guidance in the upcoming week, over the holiday break, and into finals week and graduation that even though I might be in stressful situations I will not feel stress because I have You to guide my every footstep. I pray that people begin to see glimpses of You in me so that You would be able to work in their hearts the way You are working in mine each and every day.
My prayer is that you mold me and shape me into the Godly woman and future wife that you would have me become.
In Your heavenly and gracious name by which we are saved, Amen
"You will seek Me and find Me when you seek Me with all of your heart"
Jeremiah 29:13
