Dear God

As I start the greatest journey of my life I look to You for ever.  I shed clothing of the past and embrace who You meant me to be, the me I always knew. I  know my life will never be the same as I embrace the truth of who You created in me. In a world filled with possibilities and no fear I look to You with the elegance and humbleness of a queen and the knowledge of a god.  I will never know how I was so favored to be named one of your own and I'm so grateful that my life you chose. Many lessons you have taught me along the way that prepared me for these days, my heart was stretched as you taught me to be...I worship thee.  May I look down on no man, may my heart never know arrogance, may my lips be kind and powerful and my heart large and beautiful.  Beautiful Lord, the truth of my journey and destiny, they will discover theirs Lord as you speak through me,  words do not know my adoration as I know that I am...I am because You are.  Thank You for every soul I've ever met.  Thank You for every mercy, thank you for every lesson, every today, every tomorrow.  Thank you for life.  I am your servant, use me.

A woman's prayer

Lord,

 Hear my prayer for this world

People are so lost in their own "need" to survive they've forgotten how love looks 

Everyday I know people try to do right and got lost in frustration cos they got it so wrong

Lord I know some have given up figuring that failure is their portion and tears are their way

And I know that broken hearts have become familiar ground

and I know so many are lonely though surrounded by many

Lord children cry cos somehow this world devalued them.

and elders cry cos this world has forgotten them

And so Lord here is a womans cry,

Give us wisdom so forgiveness is obvious

Give us fearlessness that we may fight not for ourselves only but for each other

Give us courage to stand, stand above our failures and fear, that we become answers to the prayers we pray

Give us hearts full of love, that our eyes open to what really matters ...And that we DO something about it!
Open our arms to embrace all in need of your love

Give us grateful hearts for everything, everything You've ever done for us

and memories that remember your best for us in our worst moments

Lord as women and custodians of your love, teach us ABBA how to revive hope and love.

and may our prayers become their selfless realities.

Jesus we love You and in Your name we pray..Amen.

ADONAI

You let my soul to once again wholey come and worship, washed away all my shame and stains you made me beautiful, lifted my head high and welcomed me again before you and to that i say i will not go back from you, no not this time Lord this time i will fight, not just for me but for you, i dont ever wanna  lose you nor is it ever my will to hurt you so against every challenge that comes against what i have with you i will fight!  Why would i in my right mind ever imagine walking away again, i drop everything today and i worship you, with my all i belong to you and this reality will last forever...i'm not confused, your all i want and this is forever ♥

To the one who sees home in my eyes

Come run with me, this beautiful destiny
you caught every tear come from me and made a sea of beautiful roses
your welcome to lead me through, the wise ages I've found in you
and as i soar i wont fear
because you are near aint nothing in the world that can tear my new love away

Lord i love
[LORD i love you]
its more i adore you
[i adore you]
With all of my soul
[with all of my breath]
I give my all
[i give you my all]
