God, Your Word and Your ways can be so confusing to us at times. You seem to want a commitment with an amount of intensity that baffles us. We think we are not capable of it and sometimes we do not want to commit so wholly to You because of both obvious and implicit consequences. But You are there, committed to us , completely and totally, beyond our comprehension. And as we live in this ambiguity, prayers still rise from our lips, past our doubts and rationality, we pray. Listen to Your people praying:
Relief for the people of the Gulf Coast
Thinking about faith is like cleaning a deep wound. It hurts doing it but ignoring it, the wound gets more infected and the cleaning will only be harder.
I don't know if here is where I clean out this wound and let it heal but I feel that now is the time. Pray that I find the place & the way to move forward.
I pray that my actions & speech will reflect God's love
Wow Lord I really need you this week.
I need a place to live a place to bake, not sure where to turn I'm so lost
I need you to show me the way. Amen
Teach me to be generous, to give & not to count the cost, teach me to serve you as you deserve, to fight & not heed the wound, to toil & not to seek for rest, to labor & not to ask for reward. Save that of knowing that I do your will.
Sincerely,
------------- -------------

A prayer for a comfortable 4th o’ July weekend
A prayer for those nobody is praying for
Lord,
Give me some kind of respect in myself and some reason I should respect myself. How can others expect anything of me when I can expect nothing of myself? And honestly, I don’t know why I’m writing this. I know I expect nothing of you…maybe just because I know people will read this, I’m sorry,
Prayers for my health, family, money, friends
Also pray that God would send me a good women that will love me and I love her
Part of me is so impatient, Lord.
Help me slow down & keep checking in w/You to see if this is Your will.
Strengthen me, sustain me, grant me courage.
Help me change, Lord.
I am having such a hard time.
Thank You for Your Love.
Lord

Someone else feels the same way as me.

(oh, and I found the love of my life : ) )
Jesus, You are with us through it all: in the spaces between our breaths, in our laughter ringing out loud and true, in our weeping, in our empty nights, in our loving and our brokenness, in our mornings dawning new and unformed, You are there.
You are in the midst of these prayers, too: living, moving, pushing us to become what we were created to be: fully alive, loved and loving children of God. We praise You for Your relentless love. Amen.
