John 3:16

For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.

Please forgive me for not being more bold in the past. I pray, Lord, that You would use me despite me. However weak and selfish I am, please, Lord, over-ride me. Put the right thoughts in my head and the words to say when I'm talking to my family tonight and tomorrow.

Show me if I should say this verse at grace tonight. Please may the Spirit be with me the whole night and day tomorrow.

I pray for Lee as he struggles to deal with family issues that upset him. I pray for Your blessing of peace upon him, and for him to see how much I love him, that I chose him.

I pray that Lily and Isabel will be grateful for the presents they receive, and happy on Christmas morning. I pray for a spirit of peace and love the whole day through.

Lord, thank You for all of my many, many blessings this year! It's been a wonderful year as Your child, and You have showered the blessings upon me. I know that every good thing is from You. Please help me to have a spirit of gratitude. To not forget You!

I am so blessed to have my family, my whole family, and two beautiful little girls, and a wonderful husband whom I love. I pray for those who may be missing someone this year. I pray that You would give them a feeling of peace, because You are with them.

I pray for my own family, that You would draw them close to You and that they would respond with Yes. I pray that Your love would overwhelm them, and that each one of them would see that You are the center, the source of everything.

I love You, Lord. I'm sorry about everything. Please, please forgive me and stay by me, so close, thisclose. I need You desperately. Don't let me forget about You. Remind me. Burst into my thoughts. Stay with me and make me stay with You.

In Your son's precious name I pray,
Amen
