Dear Heavenly Father
I love you Father, I want your will in my life, I want the time spent with you to lack nothing, I care about the faith, I love the words you give us to live by, I want nothing more than to do your will here on this earth. I care about the pains of others and your will can restore them Father. I love your guidance the blessings of stillness when we are with you in prayer. I love moments when I can just be still and read, pray, listen for the signs you are near. O Lord I do treasure the times I set aside to pray and read your word. It is the one thing necessary for me to function in the best manner possible. I am a seeker Lord for your guidance but I have fallen. I had given you time each day from 7:15 a.m. to 8:15 a.m. that time was yours to restore me, to make me see your will, to give me peace in your words, to praise your works in this dark world but I have let distractions take those moments Father and I beg your forgiveness. Not doing this has robbed me of the peace I have in your word. Forgive me Father. I have been judgmental of others, questioned the actions of others when I have no right to question. Lord if you have taught me any thing over these years it is to know that we don’t know the whole story when others sometimes annoy us with their actions. There is always a bigger picture something happening we are not aware of that has made them act the way they do. Father, you have always made me see that and I have forgotten it. It is within your will to relax and take focus when others wrong us or we think that they have. It is the work of the evil one when we react instead of act in a correct manner, no person should influence our actions only you’re will and the guidance of the Holy Spirit. Father you and only you can correct the heartaches of this world. It has to be your hand that touches the hearts of those who work for you and that includes me Father so I beg you to keep me within the time that I should be setting aside for you so I don’t get so wrapped up in my situation that I forget God is still God and it is Your plan not mine that works. Father, you know that the reason I work like I do is because it’s what I understand because I can see visible results in it. You are not a visible tangible force and I struggle daily to see you that way but I know that if I look in this world at the physical things here I am not seeing you but the world. Forgive me Father because I know that evil is in the world and we should be no part of the world. I forget Father that here there is no 110% on this earth. I am limited and held down by my own selfish desires I can not seem to overcome that sin. I think if things are looking good, in order, clean, that it’s going to make some huge difference in a world that couldn’t care less. Because they don’t care it hurts me and I fall into hands of the evil one because I let the focus be taken off of you and put onto things of this world. Lord, I want your church to be a first fruits church but my vision of what that is and your vision I am sure are quite different so I seek to set it like I think it should be but sometimes in doing that I stop seeing your will to see my own. Forgive me Father. Even in these written prayers I have to make correction. I type “we” and I have to go back and change it to “I”. It is the way I feel, the desire I have, the faults I am working on. There is no “we” in prayer that is prayed in private. I seek your wisdom, your ways, your kindness, and I know I am far removed from them because year by year I am the same, little changes in my attitudes or abilities. I stay in this same space with the same limits I have always had even though I have begged for change and disappointed because it has not come in my way of thinking but I know for your purpose I am the way I am because that’s what your will is for my life. Help me except it Father and help me to be please with your choice for me as your child and servant.
Often, Father I can break away and pray for others but I lack today knowledge of need because of the work I have incased myself in I have not kept up with others who are in need. Forgive me Father for I know it is your will to have your people lifted up to you in prayer and praise for healing and help. So focused on what I am doing I am out of touch with what others are doing. Today I am praying for guidance and help for myself. Get me back on track and out of the rat race I have made for myself. I need to complete the work at hand but I also don’t need to forget it’s physical and it could be taken away in a heart beat. Remind me of that daily Father so I will not be trapped by the designs of Satan himself who uses the physical appearances to distract us from what is really important. Do not let my heart be deceived by the lies of this world.
Father, just take my hand today and let me do the one thing necessary to heal every hurt I have. Give me this one hour of prayer back! Make me supply that time, it’s just one hour in the morning to look into your word to pray to focus on that which you would have me do. There is so many great scriptures that would soften my heart, give me peace, show me direction, and let life be full of you if I only would not let other things take over that one hour. Each day is to be spent with you not just a busy Sunday morning.
Father, I am sick today with fever, chills, and a sore throat, coughing up blood and I am worried about what I am not doing. Calm that in me Father, I need a few days to heal. Worn down by my own doing I need rest, calm and some chicken soup. Ease my tension Father and let me get some much needed sleep today that is not filled with dreams and frustrations. In a few days this will pass and I will feel like my old self again but you know the burden that being sick puts on me. It is very hard for me to be still and take care of self. The very thought of being still with no work at hand makes my chest hurt and causes sharp pains in my back, take those from me Father and please let me relax so I can be back at work full force soon.
I praise you Lord for your ways, O Lord you know my heart is into your desires, be with us all Father in our days upon this earth for it is in the strong and powerful name of Jesus we come to you in every prayers. Be with us Lord each and every day protect your child who loves you. Amen

Keeping it Real
Dear Father
In a moment you can rebuild life, restore hope and bring value to a broken heart. Your arms are always around us and your kingdom stands ready to call us home. I thank you so much for that knowledge. All things to Christ Jesus I surrender. You are my all in all be there for me dear Lord. Be there for my loved ones, for Roland for Debra for Robbie. They are the keepers of my gate and the souls that I share my daily life with. Bless the foundation that you give us as a family and bond us and keep us strong in you. Lord, I come to you each day to remind myself that there is hope, strength and foundation in your will and not in mine. I test my heart daily to make sure I am doing my level best to do your will. Father I had a troubled day today full of worry and stress…my question was did I do the right thing? Was my choice the best one I could have made? Was I to quick to make a call that might have been better thought out. I suffered with the thought that I might just have been a little to rash. Yes, Father I would like things to be moving a little faster and I would like to be coming to a close on the rebuilding effort and each delay makes me frustrated calm my heart Father because I know that all the effort is for your house and your glory. Father, I need you to soften my heart so that I always remember that others may have things on them that causes this situation to be as it is. Let me always look carefully at the details before I open my mouth. Do not let me be the one Father that makes an undue hardship for another. Let me work carefully and care for the difficulties of others who are trying to do their jobs as well. Your work is never to be a burden and I open my soul to except it as nothing more than the work that a servant would do who is giving back in the manner that I have received. Father it could never be enough if it is unto your will. Keep me strong Father and give me the wisdom to know what to do for the building up of Your church. Father I seek your will in every choice that I make let it be none of me and all of you. Instill in me your Holy Spirit to guard against unkind word but also let me be frank and straight forward so things go well for the church.
Father, I ask your blessings for the Hana’s as they will be having a new baby soon. Bill and Jane will be proud grandparents. Life goes on and they still suffer from the heartaches of Brad‘s death. May this new life show them a way to comfort and renewal.
Be with the Hemmingway’s as Glen still needs you and Peggy needs you to stay strong in their lives. Many difficult moments are being faced daily don’t let them forget they are not alone as long as they have you. Be with Lexie she is so small Father she needs you to protect her and keep her in the right hands so she can grow up to be a whole person in your will.
Be with Elaine as she faces choices with her knees. It’s not easy to face surgery options when you are up in years. Every time it is a test of our earthly endurances. Be with Clint as he is her caregiver and her husband they will both need your hand upon them.
Father watch over the workers of the rebuilding effort keep them safe, give them the heart of lions to continue till the end. Let them know Father that the work they do is not in vain but for your glory.
Lastly Father, be with my children. They struggle with life and with options to do right. The choices are many and they need guidance they can’t always except from me. I can’t always know what would be best for them but you do Father. Give me the wisdom to care for them as adult children. It’s different than it was when they were younger. I knew my guidance was helpful but as they are adults I can’t always be sure I am guiding them with correct plans. Be there Father when I am not so sure.
Father, it is in the strong and powerful name of Christ Jesus that I pray unto your will until you come or call us home. Keep us safe in your love and protection……Amen

A Prayer at 3:27 a.m.
Dear Heavenly Father
Lord of Lords. King of Kings it is in all that we do to praise your hand in our lives. You let us live each day with the knowledge that you love us and provide a way home for us. You shave the painful moments away and give us a light of hope. I thank you for that. It’s hard sometimes to sleep with so many things going on I find that there is only peace in prayer and relaxation only in knowing that the work we do will make others be more comfortable in your house. Father, I thank you for another day of health and happiness. I am so grateful for the blessing of strength to do the work needed of me. I want nothing more than completion of these task so honor can be seen in your house and more service can be done that will bring lost souls to you. There is always a chance Father that someone isn’t going to like what’s been done and there are harsh words if things don’t go the way some of us want but in the end Father I know your hand is on us and these matters are going to pass as we eat grand meals in this kitchen we are all working on. You have many servants Father that are strong in the work and give mightily to see the completed gift of your will. It’s good Father to see you work in us and it makes me smile to know that I am not alone in my wish to have this beautiful kitchen to fellowship in and worship in. Meals served to hungry souls will touch their hearts and make them more inclined to seek you. What a blessing that will be for our church and for You. Keep us focused and solid till it’s over and another task comes our way.
Father, I am worried about the flooring issues that are coming up. I don’t know all the implications that might arise from that but I know that you gave us the way and I ask that you keep things going in the right direction for that. I am not sure of all the details that are surrounding us but I feel that maybe we have a dark force around us and I ask you to protect us from that. I feel there are some that would like to bring us a difficult task because choices where taken from them and given to others. Let those choices be the right ones Father. It is to your service that we do all things and so we ask you to bless our efforts and keep us above all reproach.
Father, be with me and Roland and with Debra. I fear for her Father as you know the difficult times that we have and sometimes she doesn’t think things through like she might under normal situations. Keep us on the right path for the work that is with us in her.
I need some sleep Father. Let me rest and put away these thoughts I have and let sleep come and give some comfort to my needs. Rest is only in your hands Father. You are the only calm in the mist of this life. Let me rest in your words and be comforted into sleep.
It is in the strong and powerful name of our Lord Jesus that we pray it all into Your will……..Amen

Every Moment of this life Be to Your Glory
Dear Heavenly Father
Times are good in our lives and you have blessed us with so much. Thank you, Father. We are under a stressful time but somehow it doesn’t seem like that is so. We thank you for showing us how to take all things in stride and to keep us focused on the goals and not on the problems. Thank you for all the giving hearts and the strong support we are receiving from our brothers and sisters in Christ. It’s a real blessing to see all the effort that goes into these huge projects. Father, I am dealing with contractors and people I really don’t know but thank you for sending good men to assist me in these rebuilding efforts. I feel that these men I prayed to have come...they have come. Thank you for them Father as now I can relax and know I have selected good workers for your kingdom and spent your money wisely. It’s never easy to spend money that is for your work as we have to be ever so careful that it is used for the good of the whole congregation and not just a select sector. Father, I beg you keep my will transparent and only your will be done and the glory be given to you. I know that you sent the right people at the right time. I have always prayed to be nothing more than to be your servant and I give all the glory to you for making me a good steward of what you have given to me to do in your work. I pray only to give back in the manner I have received which is huge. I am a simple person Lord and I thank you for this opportunity to use what I have to be into service to you. Lord hold us up on high while we try to finish this work. Father I beg that you not let us grow faint and hold us strong until the last item is completed. Use up our bodies for your work until there is nothing left undone. It is to your holy name that we work daily to complete our task.
Father, people on my heart today are Peggy and Glen, Sandra, Jenny, David, Darla, Debra, Harvey, Roland, Charlotte, Ken and Margie, Lucy and Daniel. What a list Father it never ends. You know the needs there is cancer and heart troubles. Basic needs where Peggy and Glen are concerned even a little comfort for them Father would be a huge blessing. Keep Peggy right in her mind as she try’s to deal with all of this. It’s so easy to want to just quit. We are not of that spirit so hold her up Father and do not let her fade away. Keep Linda Allen strong Father as well we don’t know all that she suffers Father but we know that you can mend a broken heart with time and courage. Janet and Mark continue to deal with family matters with Janet’s dad and Mark’s dad. Let them be where they need to be and do what they can to help those who depend upon them.
There is little time to be still and write these prayers down Father so I thank you for making it a priority to me to take that time. It is good to be with you for even a short while to think over the things that are important in this life and brake away to reflect on our needs and our blessings. I thank you for that small bank of time to pray. The things we have to do will always be there. Each day there is a need to be taken care of but nothing is more important than the prayers we send to you. Thank You for moments to reflect and pray.
Father, we ask it all is the strong and powerful name of our Lord Christ Jesus. May it be the spirit that lives in us day and night until you come or call us home. Let every moment of this life be to your glory. Amen……

A Friday the13th Prayer!!
Dear Heavenly Father
The rain comes in today and we have needed it. It’s cool and fresh and we are blessed to have this day. Thank you for changes that make things continue to grow where they might not if it wasn’t for the rain. God we thank you for it always. I want to thank you for all the blessing you have sent my way this March 13th . Many phone calls got answered and I got to be home for a while today to take care of some much needed work on the computer and phone. I was falling behind but this day brought me back into focus on those matters. Thank you for the time to make it happen this way. Problems can be taken care of if you just have some time to do it so Thank you for the time I had this Friday morning.
Father, as always there are concerns. Glen Hemmingway is on our hearts he needs you this very minute to comfort him and release some of his pain. He doesn’t seem to ever get a break from the heart aches of this life. Be with them Father as the walk in this world is heavy and hard. Be with Sandra she is showing such a remarkable strength but we all know that it’s not easy for her. Hold her tight and do not let her fall to depression where there should be none in the victory of Brad’s life and death. Be with Jenny and all of them for as long as it takes.
Walk me through another day of working at the building Father. It’s hard to know what to say or do sometimes and I just pray it’s your will that is done. I know we are your voice and your workers so let it be seen in very thing that is done. When sharp words are spoken let me have the answers to those concerns with the tender hearted voice you would want used to address those who don’t understand why some things are being done like they are. Touch their hearts Father and let them see the bigger picture that is going to touch souls. We are doing all of this Father only to be servants to see that your teaching can continue to those who need you. Let all of us who are working keep that in the forefront of their minds until we are completely done. Let us not grow weary in what we are trying to do. Programs that are dropped can be restarted and when your will for that to happen comes Lord I know you will supply the right people for those jobs. Sometimes I don’t always understand why something works and other things do not but I know your hand lays in that choice always. Father, I respect your will in all matters let it be as you would have it. If harsh words are spoken to me because of it let me give comfort to those who don’t understand. Father, I will always be on your side and try to conduct myself in a manner that will bring honor to your name. Do not let me fall to humanness while I do your work.
I pray it all in the strong and powerful name of our Lord and savior. Keep us whole Father until you come or call us home let it all be for your honor and glory. Amen.

Bunko......
Dear Heavenly Father
Thank you, for the blessings of yesterdays work. It was hard to know what to do that day but I think with the tile coming up so easily and us spotting the wet floor under it… the message was clear to take away what was old and damaged and replace it. Thank you for insight! Thank you for those who came and helped. We trust in your favor Lord and know that you guide the work at the building. Let me always be keen to listen to that guidance. Help us to know how to dispose of the old tiles in a way that will do no harm to our environment or the people working with those materials. Father, you know that I am tired but we are gathering with the ladies tonight for Bunko and I just need you to keep me on task to make that a blessing for all of those who come. It’s a blessed time when our ladies get together and have fellowship and fun with each other. Sandra Wims has been asked to come so Lord lay it on her heart to know that better and more relaxed times are possible in the fellowship she can find with her sisters in Christ. Let us all be there for Sandra to help her back into a more balanced life. Also, for Karen V. as she struggles with her up coming surgery. She’ll try to be there as well so it’s important that this event go well for the sisters that come with more on their minds and hearts than playing a game. Let us all be Jesus to them at this point in time. Our ladies are Linda, Barbie, Geanie, Janet, Sheryl, Pam, Lynne, Melinda, Jeannine, Ann, Nan, Sue, Betty, Karen, Pat, Portia, Debbie, and all the others from the other Bunko group, Karen G. Shirley, Cindy, MariJane, Gina, all of them bless them with a fun evening out.
Father, be with Roland as he is working harder and harder. He is a good man and I want to bring him to you in prayer that he might be strong and finish the good work you have put in his heart. It is such a blessing to our family to have him and I thank you everyday for putting this good man in my life to share my walk with you. Let me be the helper you want me to be so that I support him in every way and bring it to my attention if I am not doing everything a wife should do for her husband to make him feel complete and loved.
I praise your name Father and hold you on high till the last day. Keep us safe as we travel into Houston today. Be with those who can not see the light enough to pray or fight the demons that harm them. Let me close with thoughts of a kingdom where there are no tears. I pray it all in the blessed, strong and powerful name of our Lord and savior Jesus Christ. Amen.
Thank you, for the blessings of yesterdays work. It was hard to know what to do that day but I think with the tile coming up so easily and us spotting the wet floor under it… the message was clear to take away what was old and damaged and replace it. Thank you for insight! Thank you for those who came and helped. We trust in your favor Lord and know that you guide the work at the building. Let me always be keen to listen to that guidance. Help us to know how to dispose of the old tiles in a way that will do no harm to our environment or the people working with those materials. Father, you know that I am tired but we are gathering with the ladies tonight for Bunko and I just need you to keep me on task to make that a blessing for all of those who come. It’s a blessed time when our ladies get together and have fellowship and fun with each other. Sandra Wims has been asked to come so Lord lay it on her heart to know that better and more relaxed times are possible in the fellowship she can find with her sisters in Christ. Let us all be there for Sandra to help her back into a more balanced life. Also, for Karen V. as she struggles with her up coming surgery. She’ll try to be there as well so it’s important that this event go well for the sisters that come with more on their minds and hearts than playing a game. Let us all be Jesus to them at this point in time.

Till the Storm Passes By Page 546
Dear Heavenly Father
Time has passed without words of prayer, but unspoken prayers are always in my heart. It is your wisdom that I seek and daily I know that you watch over me. Thank you Lord for the protection of your love. My life is in total dedication to you Father and I want to thank you for the current information that I am reading that is bring me more and more into your will. You are a God worthy of all praise and I humbly come to you this day with prayers. There has been a birth into your kingdom Father our friends have lost a son in death and we ask you to watch over Sandra and David Wims, Jane and Bill Hana and Ruby Peterson, Brad’s dear wife and friend Jenny, his children comfort them Father and do not take your eyes off of them till this storm passes from them. Your name is honored by all the attention brought to it by the suffering of this family and we know that in your way there is for a reason that will only complete your plan. Death comes to us all and I pray that in it we can complete the circle of life that brings us all home to you. Keep all of us safe as we make our way home. Let there be some rest for those who suffer the vindictiveness of lost life. There is never a word from human lips that can help them who hurt so deeply it is to your hand to send them comfort Father and we beg it in the sacrifices of our Lord Jesus for this family.
Father, there is much work to be done for your will on this earth, we are seeking always in study and prayer for you to guide us. Give us the strength and ability to keep moving forward. There is a wicked spirit that seems to be bringing us down and we ask relief from its hold! These names come to mind this morning Glen and Peggy Hemmingway, Cheri Simmons, Hanna as she faces the daunting task of taking medical test, Darla, Sonny Goode as he goes to preach your word in Rockport. Karen Vasquez will face another surgery soon, Robert Johnson is recovering from back surgery, Candis Newton, Geraldine McLean, Melinda and Steve, Myrtle, Susan, Darlene, Mickey. Linda and Harold Allen, Al and Cindy, Debra and Roland, Jean Collins, Father walk beside her. There are a thousand names calling to you every moment and it’s a blessing because we know you hear our cries for help. Be with these Father that need you today. We are just all trying to stay strong in our walk back to You.
Father, you know my heart and you know that it is even so important to me to always give everything I can so keep me tempered and tested that it is for you that I do the things that I do and let nothing of my personality fade the glory of your work. Keep my mind protected and guard me from evil thoughts. Be with every action I take and help me to watch my words carefully so they are only a reflection of what you would have me say. Let me not engage in anything that would be displeasing in your sight. Let me always be open and giving. It is a blessing from you and I am grateful for the opportunity to serve others under you guidance. You have given me this heart and this work and I am grateful for all of it. I praise your name every moment that I am healthy and can do these things with vigor and vest. Let me be ever mindful of the blessings I have received at your kind hand to have let me loose the weight that was such a burden to me. Let me never forget the work it took and the reward it bears for me now in a healthy body. Keep me on track Father as more work is needed to maintain this gift do not let me ever forget what it was like before this gift was given to me. I respect the fact that it might not have gone as well if your hand was not upon it. Guide me on as I need to loose another 40 pounds to be where I would like to be. If it’s your will and my health will benefit let it be so for me Father.
Watch over us today as we walk in this world. Protect us Father and let nothing evil enter into our hearts. Keep us in your good favor as we work at the church building and let it give honor to your holy name. May the things that are done there be done to honor you and make you known. Keep the men working together and focused until it is finished. They come time and time again and we are blessed because they are not giving out on the work. Bless their lives Father and keep them safe.
In closing as I always hate to do I asked it all in the strong and bold name of Christ Jesus our Lord and Savior forever…….Amen…….

Till the Storm Passes By
In the dark of the midnight I have oft hid my face, while the storm howls above me, and there’s no hiding place. Mid the crash of the thunder, precious Lord, hear my cry; Keep me safe till the storm passes by.
Till the storm passes over, till the thunder sounds no more,
Till the storm passes over, till the thunder sounds no more,
till the clouds roll forever from the sky,
Hold me fast; let me stand in the hollow of Thy hand.
Keep me safe till the storm passes by.
Many times Satan whispered, “There is no need to try, For there’s no end to sorrow, there’s no hope by and by.” But I know Thou art with me, and tomorrow I’ll rise Where the storms never darken the skies.
Till the storm passes over, till the thunder sounds no more,
Many times Satan whispered, “There is no need to try, For there’s no end to sorrow, there’s no hope by and by.” But I know Thou art with me, and tomorrow I’ll rise Where the storms never darken the skies.
Till the storm passes over, till the thunder sounds no more,
till the clouds roll forever from the sky,
Hold me fast; let me stand in the hollow of Thy hand.
Keep me safe till the storm passes by.
When the long night has ended and the storms come no more, Let me stand in Thy presence on that bright peaceful shore. In that land where the tempest never comes, Lord may I Dwell with Thee when the storm passes by.
