A Prayer of Blessing


Dear Lord,


I thank You for this day,
I thank You for my being able to see
and to hear this morning...
I'm blessed because You are
a forgiving God and
an understanding God.
You have done so much for me
and You keep on blessing me.
Forgive me this day for everything
I have done, said or thought
that was not pleasing to you.


I ask now for Your forgiveness.

Please keep me safe
from all danger and harm.
Help me to start this day
with a new attitude and plenty of gratitude.
Let me make the best of each and every day
to clear my mind so that I can hear from You.
Please broaden my mind
that I can accept all things.
Let me not whine and whimper
over things I have no control over...


And give me the best response

when I'm pushed beyond my limits.


I know that when I can't pray,

You listen to my heart.
Continue to use me to do Your will.
Continue to bless me that I may be
a blessing to others.
Keep me strong that I may help the weak...
Keep me uplifted that I may have words of encouragement for others.
I pray for those that are lost
and can't find their way.
I pray for those that are misjudged
and misunderstood.
I pray for those who
don't know You intimately.
God changes people and God changes things.
I pray for all my sisters and brothers.
For each and every family member
in their households.
I pray for peace, love and joy
in their homes; that they are out of debt
and all their needs are met.
I pray that every eye that reads this
knows there is no problem, circumstance,
or situation greater than God.
Every battle is in Your hands for You to fight.
I pray that these words be received
into the hearts of every eye that sees it
in Jesus' name. Amen!
Just repeat this phrase and see how God moves!!
God I love you and I need you,
Lord Jesus, please come into my heart.

The Worth of a Woman - Sister, Mother, Friend, Wife!


    One Flaw In Women
God doesn't give you the people you want; He gives you the people you NEED... to help you, to hurt you, to leave you, to love you and to make you into the person you were meant to be.

                  
 Women have strengths that amaze men.....
 They bear hardships and they carry burdens,
 but they hold happiness, love and joy.

 They smile when they want to scream.
 They sing when they want to cry.
 They cry when they are happy
 and laugh when they are nervous.

 They fight for what they believe in..
 They stand up to injustice.
 They don't take "no" for an answer
 when they believe there is a better solution.

 They go without so their family can have.
 They go to the doctor with a frightened friend.
 They love unconditionally.
 They cry when their children excel
 and cheer when their friends get awards.

They are happy when they hear about
a birth or a wedding.
Their hearts break when a friend dies.
They grieve at the loss of a family member,
yet they are strong when they
think there is no strength left.
They know that a hug and a kiss
can heal a broken heart.

Women come in all shapes, sizes and colors.
They'll drive, fly, walk, run or e-mail you
to show how much they care about you.

The heart of a woman is what makes the world keep turning.
They bring joy, hope and love.
They have compassion and ideas.
They give moral support to their family and friends.

Women have vital things to say
and everything to give.

HOWEVER, IF THERE IS ONE FLAW IN WOMEN 
IT IS THAT THEY FORGET THEIR WORTH.
