Day 26 March 23

O God, early in the morning I cry to you. Help me to pray and to concentrate my thoughts on you; I cannot do this alone. In me there is darkness, but with you there is light; I am lonely, but you do not leave me; I am feeble in heart, but with you there is help; I am restless, but with you there is peace. In me there is bitterness, but with you there is patience; I do not understand your ways, but you know the way for me… Restore me to liberty, and enable me to live now that I may answer before you and before men. Lord whatever this day may bring, Your name be praised.

Father,

I am weak and yet You give me strength. I am lost and yet never alone. With You, I am truly able to do anything, and move forward, no matter what I have done in the past. For You, Father, truly love us ALL. Thank you sounds abundantly less than what You deserve, and yet, all You ask is my heart. Thank you for everything in my life, for guidance, assurance, prosperity and most of all unconditional love. Father, I pray that I am able to stop, and breathe, and hear you, and not let the outside world in. I pray that one day, we can all truly love one another as You love us.

Thank You, Father. Amen

About This Prayer:

I have found that I often pray late at night, and sometimes I fall asleep while doing it. I used to feel guilty, and then I realized that I am giving away my concerns to my Father, and he is taking them from me, and therefore I become relaxed and unburdened. I try to keep my prayers simple, because I can always talk more than I need to and ramble. God already knows our needs, he does not need more info from me, lol.
