A dear friend of mine sent this to me this evening. It's so very fitting for my day. I think my biggest issue is that with the cancer, my life, my friends everything has changed so much. It's hard to let go of things and people that God is moving out because you do love them so very much. However, in order for them to grow in God and for God's will to be done, I have to lean on God to get me through this change in my life and cry to Him. Lord knows how much my heart is sadden but like my baby girl said tonight, "If He brings you to it, He will bring you through it!"
The Prayer From My Friend. ( May you lift all in my life up Lord and may their blessings overflow. May they always feel your peace and glory around them, if even in the sunrise and sunset. I love you Lord and I thank YOU!)
"Father, in the name of Jesus, I come before You, confessing my need for You, and crying out to you from the bottom of my heart. Lord, You've said that you are near to those whose hearts are breaking and that you give grace to the humble. I humble myself before you now...I cast down any pride or self-justification that I would hide behind, and I present myself to you as I truly am--weak and helpless and despairing of my very life. I know there is no other Rock but You, and I turn to You with all of my heart. Father, please forgive my sin! I open myself up to receive Your cleansing, Your healing, Your forgiveness, and Your faith, hope and love into my being. I receive your love as a river, washing over the dry wasteland of my emotions. I see that in Your river there is life, and that every place your river touches in me is revived. I cast all my cares, my sorrows, my disappointments into that river and I let the current of Your spirit carry them far away. I believe You, when You say that You think good thoughts about me, and that Your plans are to give me a future and a hope. I believe You when You say that You knew who I was even before my mother conceived me--and that You wanted me to be alive on the earth right now. Thank you for giving me life! Thank you for working all things in my life for good! Thank you that I can call on your Name and You will be near me. Thank you for bearing all my weaknesses and diseases on the cross, and healing me, spirit, soul and body."
