Dear God,
I can't thank you enough for your mercy and faithfulness to me. Even though I am so undeserving of it, you have new mercies for me every single day. You see a beautiful me when all I see are my flaws and unholiness. I thank you that you for your son Jesus and because of my acceptance of Him as my Savior, you will always call me your daughter and have my name in your book of eternal life. Again, my life is nothing worth saving but you love me enough to save me every day.
God, I ask that you would please grant me the strength to get through each day and that you would fight this battle within my soul. Satan keeps blinding me with my sin and blemishes of life but I know that I have put my past behind me, crucified my old life and have started anew with you. So I ask that you would please speak louder to me than any other voice or obstacle that he would put in my way. You are bigger than this and you have already won this battle for me. Open my eyes to see what glorious plans you have for my future and to begin to see things as you see them. Help me to love others as you do and to be a living example of what your love looks like. I ask that you would remove these scales from my eyes. I am desperate to touch people in a way that they would only see you through me.
Lord, please help me to be consistent everyday in prayer and in reading your word. I love talking to you my Father, and I have been so wrong to not be intentional or initiate much of my relationship with you. I want to be diligent because I long to seek you and know you more. I also ask that when I do read your precious, amazing word that you would help me to hold each valuable word within my heart and that I would not walk away forgetting what I have just read. I don't want to be like that man in the mirror who walks away and forgets immediately what he looks like.
Jesus, I lift up those who are close to my heart. I ask that you would just surround them with your love and comfort. Help them to rest in you and be assured that you are a faithful God who does not fail and who will not and cannot ever break His promises. I ask that we would crucify ourselves daily and take up our common cross that follows after your very own heart. Please draw near to my friends that find it difficult to hear, sense, and know you. I just ask that you would please make yourself evident to them and that they would see that you are there and that you have a reason for everything that we all go through.
Your love endures forever. That can never be stressed enough and no praise could ever be adequate enough but we will continue to strive to do so forever. We will strive to reach your holiness and we will try to be servants as you came to serve. Lord, please help us on this journey because we cannot do anything without you. Nothing can be accomplished that's worth accomplishing without you in it but all things are possible with God. Give us the faith to truly believe that.
I love you Jesus, thank you for today and for blessing me with all of your glory displayed for me to see and enjoy; for blessing me with friends and family whom I can count on to always support and encourage me; for blessing me with Griffin who has brought incredible joy into my life and who has loved me unconditionally as your love is displayed, God.
You are awesome for never changing, for loving us regardless of our ridiculously sinful nature and undeserving lives. Thank you God, thank you that your love never fails.
Nothing can separate
Even if I ran away
Your love never fails
I know I still make mistakes
But you have new mercies for me everyday
Your love never fails
You stay the same through ages
Your love never changes
There may be pain in the night but joy comes in the morning
And when the oceans rage
I don't have to be afraid
Because I know that you love me
Your love never fails
The wind is strong and the water's deep
But I'm not alone in these open seas
Cause Your love never fails
The chasm is far too wide
I never thought I'd reach the other side
But your love never fails
You stay the same through ages
Your love never changes
There may be pain in the night but joy comes in the morning
And when the oceans rage
I don't have to be afraid
Because I know that you love me
Your love never fails
You make all things work together for my good....
Your Love Never Fails
