This morning, with tears running down my face and I am sitting here in the silence before you, Lord.  I am reminded that you are all I need.  I am so thankful for your grace and your mercy.

As I pray this  often, let me ask once again,  give me a little more faith to believe what I already know. Show me your ways. Guide my steps. Lead me to your righteousness. Since you are my rock and my fortress, for the sake of your name, lead me and guide me. Your rod and your staff, they comfort me. Every where that I go Lord, every step that I take, may I know that you are with me.

These battles in life are hard, Lord. I am on the battlefield. I feel like this warrior is a child this morning. My heart is overwhelmed.  I stand in the gap so many times for the prayers of others that you gave me the honor and privilege of allowing them to confide in me. There are times with these prayer request and the battles of my own also, it is overwhelming.  I ask for my joy to be restored. A fresh pouring out of joy that only comes from you. I am yours Lord.

Lord, cover me with your protective hand. You are my hiding place in the days of trouble. You are my Father and my protector. I run to you Lord. With arms open wide, I run to you.

Open my eyes, Open my ears that I hear your voice. The sweet sound, the sweet whisper of my Heavenly Father.  The waters are over my head Lord. May my eyes look up to you  my lifeguard and see your glory. May my soul rejoice once more. For you Lord, you are worthy of all praise ~  Lord, it is you that I seek. It is you ~ With all my heart and with all my soul, It is you that I will seek forever more ~
