Today I Pray…

Dear Lord Jesus, I bow before you with humble thanksgiving.

I thank you for knowing.

I am thankful for your understanding of how it feels when my flesh is stronger than my spirit and I act or speak like a heathen rather than one of your examples.

I thank you for understanding when my feelings get hurt, ignored, or stepped on and I create and harbor ill feelings, resentment, and often a grouchy attitude.

I am thankful that you understand tiredness, hunger, faint of heart, discouragement, frustration, weariness, and fear.

I am thankful for your strength when I am weak.

Your light when my world looks dark.

I am most thankful for the Holy Spirit who gently whispers love, peace, solace, grace, and forgiveness.

I am thankful that you are ever-changing me, so the moods dissipate quicker, the anger has no place to reside, my flesh is overcome by the spirit of you Lord!

A spirit of contrite, hope, renewal, and peace.

I am thankful that when I turn to you all grimy and dirty, you look beyond my filth and see the heart asking for forgiveness, as you are gently cleaning.

I am thankful that your word tells me I will be a work in progress until the day of your return, meaning I am not going to always get it right, act accordingly, or never fall.

But what it does mean is that every time I turn to you, You will be there and for that, I am so thankful!

I am thankful for your birth I celebrate this month in December, your ministry of love and teachings that I follow, your Holy sacrifice upon the cross for me, your life-changing resurrection, and your glorious return that I am patiently waiting for! In your precious name Lord Jesus, I pray, Amen 🙏

Thank you for joining me and may your day be blessed. 🥰
