Oh Lord, it is truly awesome to be here in Your presence. You are oh so glorious in every sense of the word and to be here with You now is amazing. All the praises and honor to Your holy Name. I worship You, God. Thank You for giving me direction in this life and for leading me away from it evil and to do what is righteous. It is because of the cross that my life is changed. You have saved me through Your blood. What a merciful and forgiving God, You are. Thank You for Your love and compassion. You have breathed upon me the Spirit, and it has taught me what is right and what is wrong in Your sight. So I give You thanks. Thank You for teaching me Your laws, that they may be upon my heart continually. Without Your wisdom and knowledge, I am left wondering in this world. I have nothing to give me clarity on the situations I am in, without Your presence with me. So I ask that You make Your home in my life. Abide with me Jesus. My whole heart desires to be with You and to no longer be overtaken by temptation. Your ways mean more to me than the temporary satisfaction I get with sin and addictions. I don’t need any more things in my life that leave me feeling guilt and empty. What I want is to be on Your path that leads to heaven. So lead me now, off of the path of destruction and onto Your righteous path, which leads to eternal life. I love You Lord. You are my God, and I will serve You and You alone. All my heart, mind, and strength, I give to building up Your kingdom. May You do many good things through my life. I am Your servant and am ready to do work in Your kingdom. Surely, living for You is the best feeling a person can get. Nothing is greater than to experience Your blessings in my life. Thank You God. I praise You, my King. Amen.

Today’s Prayer (08/14/2019)
Oh Lord, I want to tell you how sorry I am for all the times I have given in and looked at pornography over the years. I know the damaging effects this has had on our relationship and others and I am so sorry. Thank You for giving me a will to fight against it now. If I am able to conquer it, it is because You have given me that strength. I no longer wish to allow this temptation and others to influence my life. The guilt and shame is unbearable in the moments that I falter. So I pray that you take me and others, when we are in this dark place and lead us to freedom. I wish that You would look inside our souls and take away all the lustful desires. Any wickedness in our hearts, we give to You. Make us whole again through Your holiness. It is doing Your will that I am truly happy. I no longer wish for the devil to get the best of me. His lies and deceits need to stop now and I know that You can help me. Every dagger he throws at my life, even though it is enticing, can be deflected, for You are my shield. It is true that I am not able to deflect His fiery darts on my own, but with Your presence in my life, I have amour. Because You build me up each day in Your righteousness, I am ready to go into the battle and come out victorious. This I know, for You have helped me conquer my desires to look at porn and masturbate. It is only when I walk away from You and do my own thing, that I am lost again. Therefore, I plead for Your continued presence. I need more of You and less of me. Forgive me of my sins. I no longer wish to sin against You, but walk faithfully in Your righteousness. You are my God, and I love You more. Lead me from temptation and into Your light. I love You. Amen.

Today’s Prayer (08/13/2019)
Oh Lord, I pray that we will all remember the importance of being honest to ourselves and others. May we understand that importance of telling the truth in all circumstances, no matter how difficult it may seem. For it is better to be a true witness, then a false witness who leads others astray. Thank You for Your words and teaching us this principal. In saying this Lord, I pray that You will lead us to all truth and lead us away from every false teacher. We need to know what is right in this world, and I know that You can lead us to find it. Truly, Your words in the Bible are truth and I wish that more people would teach what You have said and have less of their opinions on matters of God. Then, would more people be following You and not what they think is right. I pray Lord, that what is good is sought after in life, and what is evil is ran from. Now, I know that for this to become a reality, people need to first be instructed correctly. So I pray for all teachers in schools, universities and churches. They have a big calling upon them and I pray that they may be used by You in everything they do. To do this, it will take faith, but all evil can be distinguished by doing what You say is right. Lastly, help us to find a way to show kindness towards others, especially those in need. May your love flow deep in our hearts, that every person will feel loved. Kindness changes lives, just like Your compassion for us, changed ours. Thank You for taking us in as a stranger and giving us rest. I just pray that we will be doing the same for others. I love You Lord. Your teachings are nourishment to my ears. Amen.

Lord, thank You for putting into my heart the desire to know You deeper than ever before. The day I found You in my confessions was the day that You came for me and started me off on a new path. Where I once desired to be fulfilled in my own lusts and covetousness, You gave me better desires that led to true satisfaction for the soul. I no longer needed the things of this world that were temporary, but Your will sustained me. Once I knew that I would never take any of my earthly treasures with me in death, I began to build myself up with what would sustain me in heaven that mattered most. I no longer needed the best new phone, tablet, TV, or car, or more money, for You have given me exactly what I need in this new life. Your presence is what gives me the greatest joy of all, which is true happiness. I don’t need imitators in life, but what is true and faithful. What honors You is what I look for. That is why I grasp onto Your Words in the Bible. It is the treasure that I have been looking for all my life. I don’t know what my life would be like if You were not leading me through Your Words. They have become a lamp unto my feet and I have true direction now. Your counsel is so good for my soul. I could never know enough of Your precepts, for they satisfy every minute of my life. Your laws are like honey to the soul. To know Your will is what leads me to hope for things that never end. And Thank You Lord for leading me away from temptation these many days. You have become the armor of my life and I am able to stand against the enemy. Thank You for defending me against the evils of this world and the storms of life. I love You more than ever now. You are my Lord and my God, who saves. I trust in You, God, alone. Amen.
