I praise You Lord and thank You for giving me a heart, a true heart, a tender heart, a heart fixed on and for You.
Thank You for Your hand that leads me
Thank You for your hand that holds me

Almighty Father, Protector, Provider, Peacegiver, and friend. How grateful I am for Your love for me. Darkness and Light are alike to You.
When I feel I am in the darkness alone, Your are there!
When I feel I am in the light alone You are there!

May I be a woman who dwells in the facts of Your word rather than the feelings I can't trust.

Thank You for Your nightly, daily, hourly, grace, mercy and peace. Thank you for Your reminder, Your rebuke, and Your discipline, to me for times of being judgemental. Teach me Your ways Oh Lord; I will walk in Your truth; Unite my heart to fear Your name.

May I love the Lord my God with all my heart, all my soul, and all my mind and may I love my neighbor as myself.

Friday ... a week of prayers 1.13.12

Your greatness Father is unsearchable
Your goodness is infinite
Your compassions unfailing
Your providence boundless
Your mercies are new to me right now, this morning. Father in the middle of the day I am quite tired make my lunch hour focused on You and truly a time of rest. Father, at the end of the day I am quite weary wanting to rest. Make my rest at the end of each day profitable.

I continue to defeat who I am in Christ daily. May I know today that You are enough to get me, not only through my day, but rejoicing in You throughout the day! I am confident that the good work that has begun in me as a teacher will be perfected! Thank you Father!

Oh God, help me be more concerned about the children made in Your image, and building up and edifying them, then my own selfish agenda. Oh God, forgive me, for living in the futility of my thinking! May I not harden my heart towards the boys who have yet to know you! Make me new, in the attitude, of my mind, my heart, and my spirit.

Father today I pray 4 Catherine, Syndey, Kendra, Brent, Keegan and all the HopeWatchers. May you, help me, help them, to grow in Christ. May You, let each of them, take refuge in You, be glad, sing for joy, because are their defender!

Bless them, enlarge their territory, put Your hand on them

Sunday .... a week of prayers 1.8.12

Then I looked, and I heard the voice of many angels around the throne, numbering thousands upon thousands, and ten thousands, times ten thousand. They encircled the throne and the living creatures and the elders in a loud voice they sang: Worthy is the lamb who was slain, to receive power and wealth and wisdom and strength and honor and glory and praise. Then I heard every creature in heaven and on earth and under the earth and on the sea, and all that is in them singing: to Him who sits on the throne and to the lamb be praise and honor and glory and power forever and ever.

Thank you Father, You are my Hope, my Help, my Healer, my Father, and my friend. Like Enoch may I walk with You! May I know and please You God throughout this week in particular in the darker areas (eb). May I live in the light and have a deeper and greater committment to Your words, Your works, and Your ways. You are the Light of the world I know that when I walk with You there is no darkness.

O that You would bless the senior staff of NHC indeed!

That You would have Your hand upon them and keep them from all harm.
