Dear Heavenly Father,
Thank you for this day and the blessings you have held in store for us. Touch especially, my mom this morning as she is going into surgery. Give peace,wisdom and skill to the surgical team. Grant them success in this endeavor and grant her a quick and easy recovery. Give all of us wisdom who will help her in her recovery so that we are able to do all that she needs and more. Put your hand on her body and control her pain. If she experiences anxiety or worry, take that from her mind as you do not give us a spirit of fear. In Jesus name, amen.

Show me your glory God.
A faithful heart does not need isolation from pain, this is where your glory is shown.
Heal me from fear and doubt and raise up a warrior within my imperfection. Give me a voice that sweeps across the heavens and shakes hell. Make me the enemy of brokenness. Close my fist and plant my feet to destroy the plans of any who rise up against you. Give me anger that is holy and wise.

Reign glory on Taira, Heather, Rowan, Deb, Randy, my mom, Terry, Anna, Natosha, my children, Amy, Phyllis, Margie. In Jesus name, Amen.

Father God I thank you for this new day and for peaceful sleep last night. I give this day to you as I attend a new church under a different steeple. I ask for your leadership and wisdom.
I ask you to be with Baby Ro as she has ongoing procedures for her heart, above all we ask for her complete healing. Give her mom and dad an extra measure of strength and peace.
Be with my friend Heather as she continues her chemo, give her a feeling of wellness and let this time pass quickly for her so she can return to her life and put this illness behind her as a testament to you.
Touch Randy and relieve the chest pain he has experienced. Guard his health and give him wisdom to seek medical care when he needs to.
Do a miracle in Taira's life as she is dealing with the recurrence of the cancer she thought was conquered. Bind the hands of the enemy as he comes against this family and inhabit their home with glory and power.
Be close to the president of the United States. Give him courage and humility. If he has cause to repent, let his burden be great and without relief until he bows himself before you. Let all that he does within your will be blessed and multiplied and let all intentions of his own creation fail. Move on the hearts of your people, forgive us for the days we have spent thinking and speaking against this man. Bring us into a submitted mind of prayer and intercession. Let there be no peace in the hearts of those do not call you God. Protect our military and especially be a guard against the Christians who are in the military as well as in government service. Raise them up and change the disrespect the enemy has whispered into the thoughts of men into a recognition that it is through your servants you will save us. Bring conviction even when it is painful and break pride where it raises up against you.
All of this in Jesus name, amen.

Praying for me

Oh Lord! After a week off this morning, my first back to work, this is the morning you bring the snow and cold? You know I love to be cuddled up inside my house with wicked weather outside the windows! And how quickly and simply I am frustrated because as soon as I looked out the window I became disheartened. Forgive me for that and silence the enemy who whispers disappointment into my ears.
You know my mind and the hopes and goals I have for 2012. I ask for your blessing and anointing, both to accomplish and to let go of the things you have ordained. Above all, give me a submitted and sensitive spirit. Let me be continually living in the state of mind that I am building my life in eternity and not in mortality. Give me a great ability for small joy, give me peace when there is a storm and give me wisdom. Show me more of who I truly am so that I will be able to truly shine your glory as you intended me to.
Give me a hunger for you, give me a desperate need for you unlike any I have ever known. Give me a craving for your scripture. Teach me to be humble and to trust that you are my defender. When I am weary or burdened with worry, protect my heart and lift my spirit.
Thank you Lord for this day as you have made it. I confess that I wish it were different already but I speak truth, that you have created it with purpose. I thank you for the renewal of my mind that you have allowed over the last year and I thank you for expected blessing. Amen.
