Dear God,
There are some days when life seems terrible and I get so down about myself and my circumstances. The miracle is, though that I always feel an inexpressible peace that can only come from You! I don't deserve it. I sometimes don't even ask for it. You, Lord give me peace! Thank you for loving me and taking care of me even when I cannot give my all to you. I cannot worship you enough. I cannot honor you enough.
With love,

Fighting the enemy's lies
Dear God,
So often I am plagued by thoughts of insignificance. I look at other people and think, "Who am I compared to them? I am not as respected as they are. I am not as pretty. I am not as privileged. I am not as loved." These are all lies from the enemy. He's trying to gang up on me and tell me that I'm not worth much.
Well you know what Mr. Enemy? Guess who I have on my side? The Creator! The Mighty King! The One who has made everything right according to his plan. The One who cherishes me and loves me.
God, you are on my side and I choose now to fight with You. I will not let the enemy get into my head. God, I pray that I would train hard and work to fill my life with more of You. God, I pray that I would fill my mind with Scripture and prayers; I want to be armed with Your Word as I fight the enemy's lies. When I look to You, my dear Jesus, I do not find feelings of defeat or insignificance. Instead, I find peace; I find hope; I find purpose; I find rest.
In you, Abba, I know that I am loved. I am not missing out on anything. I am right where I am supposed to be.
I praise you Father. I know that I am fearfully and wonderfully made and I am in the middle of Your beautiful plan. May I not forget this. May I be armed with Your Word and the Spirit; ready to take on whatever is thrown at me. I look to You!

Give Me Jesus
Dear God,
I just started a new chapter in my life: COLLEGE!! It's been so great to dive into studying the Bible; I have been learning a ton! It's amazing to see the Bible from a different perspective and to learn more about who You are, God. Thank You for this opportunity You've given me to study! I am so privileged to be able to study at a Christian college.
Even in the midst of this huge blessing, things have been difficult for me. I don't know if every college student faces these when they first start college, but I have been overwhelmed with feelings of loneliness, and feelings that I won't be able to make it through all of these new changes. I know I am not alone, and I know that You have put me here for a reason, but sometimes it's hard to really believe it.
Abba, Father, I've been struggling! I need strength to make it through. I need discernment regarding my schedule, what I decide to do/not to do. I need friends! But most of all I need YOU! More and more of YOU.
Today I came to the song "Give me Jesus" and it was just what I needed to hear. Though I feel like everything is difficult right now, Jesus, YOU are enough to sustain me. Yes, friends are good. Yes, knowledge is good, but God I need YOU to survive and really get through this and really grow!
Though this is a jumbled mess of thoughts and prayers, God I know You hear me! I pray that as I seek to know You better and seek to learn from You, that you would grow in me and help me to realize how much I really am dependent on You, even just to breathe one breath of air.

Psalm 139:16
Psalm 139:16 - Your eyes saw my unformed body; all the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be.
Dear God,
This is such a beautiful truth. Before I was even born, God, you knew me. You knew me completely, before the world knew who I was. You knew me before my parents even knew about me. You knew what would happen each day I was to live and breath. You saw the unborn and unformed me, and because of your wonderful plan, I have purpose! I have hope! Thank you Lord!!!!
With love,
