Dear Father in heaven i praise you Lord for who you ARE! thank you dear Jesus, your precious blood covers me! thank you Holy Spirit for comforting me and for carrying my prayers to my Father!
you know my heart Lord, you know that i've been troubled---i thank you for bringing me to this site.
i pray for everyone here, that they are all safe and happy and blessed in Christ. i ask that you uplift those who are in pain, physically and/or emotionally, and that their loved ones be blessed also. thank you!

as my relationship grows with you Father, i am realizing that i have to dig around, root about in my own home, my soul. and i see things that i need to address, like my own health. emotional, mental, physical and spiritually. i need your help Lord. i can't seem to focus on my 'whole self' at one time!
instead, i concentrate on one or another---then i say, "Ratters, i haven't been going on my walks as much; i best get out there. and ratters, i'm not eating properly. i best make a salad." of course i start worrying about my health.
here i give praise b/c you have blessed me with a river close by, and you provide food for us; i thank you! (so then i feel guilty b/c i think i am just lazy. hah! i CAN be lazy, Lord as you know! oh i love you so. . .)
as you know Lord, it gets so difficult to stay mentally and emotionally level-headed b/c living with Nick isn't easy. but Father i praise you! somehow you, in your gentle loving way, YOU get me through!
i come before you now God, b/c i am so engrossed in reading/studying your word; that once again i am putting off other aspects of my life. and the more i learn in the bible, it is clear, i have to live a balanced life. but Lord, i am such a disorganized person! i know this is human nature; but i want to change it!
thing is Father, i want to serve you as best i can. i want my gracious merciful Lord to be pleased with me.
i am an ambassador for Jesus, a proud Christian! so i need to maintain healthy where i am able to!
i am troubled and i ask your help, i need to look at all aspects of my life, i need to address my own issues and deal with them. how else can i serve you, how else can i help and love and care for my fellow brothers and sisters if i'm not caring for my own self? HOW CAN I SERVE JESUS. . .?
Lord i know you listen and i thank you. i put all of my troubles to you, i put all of my trust and faith in you. after dinner i will take my dog for a walk to the beautiful river you have blessed me to live by. Lord God you have already lifted my spirits up, just by bringing me here! my troubles are now SO small! PRAISE GOD, simply typing this out---i feel your presence! PRAISE GOD ALWAYS!
i thank you for your many blessings. i praise you, The Almighty Father God.
i ask this prayer in Jesus' Holy name. amen.
ALL GLORY GOES TO GOD!

and to all of my dear friends in Christ, thank you for allowing me to sit here, and relax and talk with God!
sincerely. this has been wonderful for me. maybe, whenever any of us wants to just 'hang out' with our Father, talk to Him here, like we do on our own---well i think that might be a good thing. we can come here and de-stress and write our prayer's as if we're praying quietly.
God bless all of you!
