A Prayer

God of all eternity, Lord of my heart, Lover of my soul,

I come to You now. 

I need You more than ever.

I want Your presence to come in and fill me. 

My heart is heavy God. 

It is durdened down with cares and disappointments. 

It has been battered by the struggle within and differed hope.

It is tired of hoping for dreams to come true. 

It is weary of continuing on. 

Lord, I come to You. 

I need You to remake this heart. 

I need You to break through the walls of unbelief. 

I need You to fight my doubt of You. 

I need You to remind me of who You are. 

I need You to renew my heart.

I need You to save me from temptation. 

Lord, I look to You. 

In You alone I find hope. 

In You alone I find deliverance. 

In You alone I can be redeemed. 

In You alone I find rest. 

In You alone I know who I was meant to be. 

Come, Lord Jesus.

Come into this fickle wondering heart. 

Come make it evermore Yours. 

Come change to be like Yours. 

Come be my King and Lover forever.

In the name of the One who loved me and gave Himself up for me, amen. 

A Letter

Dear Beloved Daughter,
You cannot know the depths of my love for you. It is too deep to know.
Because of my great love for you I'm about to let the hardest trial you have ever known into your life. You will fail and do things that you never thought you would.
Yet I will never leave you. This will press you into Me. I will be waiting for you to turn and to be forgiven.
Daughter don't give up. Keep pressing through to Me. Remember that I am with you. You are loved more than you will ever know.
How will you know? You will see it in my loving discipline. I won't abandon you but will correct you as the daughter you are.
Then when anther trial comes along, you will stand firm. You will know Me better. Your heart will be stronger for the task.
This is my promise to you. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart, I have overcome the world.
Love,
Your Heavenly Dad.

This I have found to be true.
