Ask & You Shall Receive

God I confess there are things that I haven't talked to You about...or haven't brought up to You in a while.  I didn't want to think about it because I'm trying to just focus on You.  I'm trying to just rely on You but part of relying on You is asking You for what I need or what.  Not that You don't already know but we need to confess these things.  You just want us to let You in.  When we try to do things on our own strength we fail.  See we think that being strong means we can do it alone but we can't.  


Thank You God that I don't have to feel condemned because I have these wishes.  You just want me to be open about it so You can heal me. 


God it's been said that You're all I need.  And ultimately when it comes down to it it's true.  So I hesitate asking You for this because I don't want You to think I'm not relying fully on You.  Or..maybe I'm just putting You in the same category as everyone else I've met and I fear that I have to justify myself to You. Sorry, God.  You know it all.  And I guess, really I don't want to think I'm not fully relying on You.  I don't want to not fully rely on You.  I want to learn how to do that.  But I guess part of relying on You is trusting You enough to tell You what I "think" I need or what I hope to get or what I wish I had.  


"You don't receive but You don't ask"...that's what Your Son says.  And it's true.  So God I come to You in confidence that You will supply all my needs.  And until then God I ask that You supply right now for the lack that I feel.  Fill that void Father like only You can.  Sustain me until that time comes that You fulfill it in "that way" that I'm asking You to fill it.  And heal my heart and teach me what You would have me to learn. 

In Jesus' Name.  Amen.  

God thank You for Your protection in my life.  If it wasn't for You God - well...I actually do know where I would be...oh so many places I could be but I'm safe within Your reach.  Your hand is always upon me, guiding me.  Sometimes you allow me to experience things "on my own" but you're not too far to catch me when I fall flat on my face (lol).  Thank You that even with all the darts thrown at me and all the "stuff" flying at me, You raise a standard on my behalf against my enemies.  You always have a word of knowledge, mercy, grace for me.  You always send Your angels to minister salvation to me.  You. Are. Faithful. 


God thank You that You still use me in spite of me.  That Your plan for my life is huge and even this that I'm going through is part of that plan in the long run because...well...You know.  Thank You that it's You that ministers through me but that You minister to me as well as I follow Your plan.  Father thank You for allowing me to be a part of Your kingdom and Your plan....


God thank You that You see me for who I really am, not for my mistakes.  Though I stumble time and time again, You have given me keeping power that always sustains me and always helps me get back up again. 


Thank You times a million for everything...for being right on time and for the glimpses of glory that You give me in every situation. <3
