Lilia Smitley's Comments

Dear Lord, I thank you for this day. I thank You for my being able to see and to hear this morning. I' m blessed because You are a forgiving God and an understanding God. You have done so much for me and You keep on blessing me. Forgive me this day for everything I have done, said or thought that was not pleasing to you. I ask now for Your forgiveness..

Please keep me safe from all danger and harm. Help me to start this day with a new attitude and plenty of gratitude. Let me make the best of each and every day to clear my mind so that I can hear from You.

Let me not whine and whimper about things I have no control over. Let me continue to see sin through Your eyes and acknowledge it as evil. And, when I sin, let me repent, and confess with my mouth of my wrongdoing, and receive forgiveness.

And, when this world closes in on me, let me remember Jesus' example--- to slip away and find a quiet place to pray. It' s the best response when I' m pushed beyond my limits. I know that when I can't pray, You listen to my heart. Continue to use me to do Your will.

Continue to bless me that I may be a blessing to others. Keep me strong that I may help the weak. Keep me uplifted that I may have words of encouragement for others. I pray for those who are lost and can't find their way. I pray for those who are misjudged and misunderstood. I pray for those who don't know You intimately. I pray for those who will delete this without sharing it with others. I pray for those who don't believe. But I thank you that I believe.
