DAY 3 0F 31 DAYS OF PRAYER ..PRAY FOR PERSONAL NEEDS & DESIRES, WITH THANKSGIVING

Father thank you that I come to YOU with simple confidence, as a little child comes to his/her father or mother asking for what he/she needs.  What a gracious, generous Father You are!

I'm so grateful to You for giving me life and breath and everything else.  Every good and perfect gift comes from You. the Creator of all lights, more constant and unchanging than the sun and moon and stars.  You are a sun and a shield, bringing light and warmth into my life and protecting me from harm.  You've promised that I won't lack anything good-that I'll be safe and secure without fear or harm-if I seek You with a reverent heart, if I choose to trust You and go your way instead of my own.  More and more, make me this kind of person.

Help me praise You often for Your great goodness and tender love and trust You more for all that I need.  You I come to You with my needs and desires.  Draw me close to You as I bring them to you day by day.

I pray about my need for encouragement, for my release from inner stress, for greater love and wisdom in relating to others, especially my family, for knowing how to handle my insecurities, my anxieties, my anger..for open doors in the future.  I also pray for the needs of my parent(s)..my brothers/sisters, my future marriage, my coworkers, my neighbors.  Lord work in special ways.

Thank you, Lord, that You are "so vastly wonderful, so utterly and completely delightful, that You can meet and overflow the deepest needs of my total nature, mysterious and deep as that nature is"(A.W.Tozer).
