My lord, help me to express my thoughts and my feelings in writing on who I believe you to be in me and surrounding me.

My prayers:

Open my blind eyes that I may see, deaf ears that I may hear, dumb mouth that I may speak, lame legs that I may walk, my mind to embrace oneness with you and my heart to love unconditionally as you’ve loved me. Teach me that I may teach others. Heal me that I may heal others. Bless me that I may bless others. Be thou the driving force within me. Leave me not to myself alone. Let your will for me be done. Forgive me of my sins; past, present and future.

Thanksgiving:

Lord I thank you for the many blessings received and blessings still yet to come for when I think of all those who are less fortunate, I pray also that you would bless them as you’ve blessed me and continue to bless me so I also can bless them.

Embrace:

Lord be thou above me, beneath me, on the right side and on the left, in front of me and in the back. Hold onto me and when you feel my hand slipping away from you, hold onto me tighter. Grant me wisdom, knowledge, and understanding, faith and courage; trusting in you, the gift of truth and discerning.Hear me when I moan and hear me when I groan. Leave me not alone. Be thou my light in my darkness, my strength in my weakness, my comfort in my distress and my courage in my fears.
