Your word is a lamp to
guide my feet and a light for my path. Psalm 119:105
Dear Heavenly Father,
Thank you, God, and bless you for being a force and presence
in my life. You are a miracle to me, Lord. You are my Portion, my Glorious Inheritance
and the Only One I desire or will ever need. You smile upon me in so many ways,
Lord, and I am so very thankful. I can feel You placing in my heart day by day
a love for You that surpasses all others, Lord. You are my Hope, my Faith, my
Love, my Heart. You are my Friend, my Father, my Husband. You are my Family. I
adore You, and I put no one before You.
You take my worries and turn them into lessons and
blessings. You take my sins and convict me and forgive me. You take my heart
and enlarge it. You give me peace and love and joy and patience and promises
and faithfulness beyond measure. You provide food and shelter and plans and
wealth in the form of a fullness of heart that cannot be explained or fully
understood. You commit to a treasure in Heaven even beyond what You provide on
Earth. I am in awe of the extent of Your generosity.
Lord, when I am still and quiet enough to hear Your voice,
Your encouragement and wisdom reassure me. Your gentle hand reaches down to
guide me, and Your face seeks mine as I seek yours.
Your warmth and loving advice is always available, just as
it was for Tamar and for Rahab and later, for Priscilla. Lord, I confess and
repent that I have not always taken Your advice, and know that You forgive me
and see my heart.
I thank You for continuing to love me through my
foolishness, for continuing to help me place one foot in front of the other
back to Your path from my own, helping me every day to hear Your voice over the
din of deceivers, and holding my hand while You lift me around or over the
stumbling blocks, increasing exponentially my trust in You.
All I ask, Father God, is that You continue to place in my
heart a growing love for You like no other, a desire to embody the fruit of the
Spirit in thought, word and action, and a yearning to glorify You in everything
I do and say.
Thank you for directing my path today, Lord, and allowing me
to serve You.
Your loving daughter,
Susan
