Dear God,

Good morning, Heavenly Father! Thank you so much for the rest you gave me. I feel a bit reluctant to wake up today, but I look forward to the journey.

God, I pray to have salt and light in my life today. You know what I'm talking about. I do not want to indulge in myself. There are needs around me that I must help to meet.

Thank you for opening my eyes and giving me your love, so that I can give it to others.

I love you, Lord.

Your son,

Danny

Dear God,

Thank you, Heavenly Father, for all the blessings you give me each day. I appreciate that I'm growing in my relationship with my daughter. I love having my mom live with us. We need you so badly, God. I know of so many occasions that I personally don't rely on you.

I pray for my mom, since she's recently found out that her pap smear test came back abnormal. This, on top of all the other suffering she's having to endure. God, you know what you're doing; I don't. Mom is having to reconcile her feelings of inadequacy, and I know she's felt depressed that she's not able to do as much as she'd like. Lord, I remember her being much stronger and able to do a lot more, yet now she's bedridden so much. I don't like that.

Lord, my job situation has not improved. I pray to get a job as a bartender soon. I want to put what I've learned to practice and improve our family's financial situation by making more money than the unemployment compensation brings in.

I pray about Jennie's work situation. Please give her wisdom and understanding as far as how to proceed.

I love you, God, and I pray for your blessing to be on this day.

Your son,
Danny

Hi, God.

Big migraine headache today. I look forward to relief. It's hard to think about anything else but that right now. You know what I need much better than I do. Thanks for taking care of me and for giving me the strength to deal with this.

Help me to be wise, and please bless our family. I pray to get a job within the next week. I look forward to putting my new skills to work.

Thank you, Jesus, because you've gone through much more pain than I probably ever will. And you did it for me, to save me. You're awesome!

I love, you.

Danny

Awesome God,

Today Jennie and I have been married for 8 years! Thank you so much for bringing us together and keeping us together. Our lives have changed so much since she and I first met. There have been good times and there have been bad times. But through it all, we hold to your promise that if we stay faithful to you, we will make it to heaven!

I love you and thank you again for this moment.

Your son,

Danny

Dear Lord,

I want to pray right now for my mom. You are fully aware of the pain she is in. I cannot truly relate with that type of pain, but I know you understand. I am so grateful that you gave her to me. I am also very grateful that she's been able to live with us since last October.

There is so much going on in her life, God, and I feel for her. I hurt in my hurt because she is hurting. I know there is a lot that she wishes she could do, but she cannot because she's felt so poorly.

I pray that, if it would be your will, you would relieve her of the pain that she has. Let her be functional once more.

I pray this as a tear falls down my cheek and more well up in my eyes. I love her so much.

God, I pray that you will help her with the emotional stuff she's dealing with. Being ill can be depressing in and of itself, but I know there is other stuff going on. I pray that whatever medicine she's taking will be the right medicine for her.

I love you, Lord, and I thank you for hearing my prayer.

In Jesus', your son's name I pray,
AMEN

Awesome God,

Thank you so much for the myriad ways you are blessing me! I am so encouraged by the help you have given us through other people. I praise you for constantly working behind the scenes in my life, taking care of me.

You reign!

Love, your son,
Dan

Dear God,

I am very grateful to you for the gift of work. I am glad that I am learning a new skill, and I look forward to using it well. Yet at the same time I can see where I can be tempted to devote myself too much to this work.

Anyhow, thanks for teaching me through your word. It does light up my life and bring refreshment to my soul.

Thank you, Jesus, for interceding for me.

I love you!

Dan

Good morning, Heavenly Father!

Thank you for this brand-new day. I appreciate how you make everything new. Your mercies are new every morning.

God, I haven't been much of a disciple this week. I really need some fellowship. That's one reason why I'm looking forward to church this morning.

I feel that over the last few months I've waned in my commitment to you. I can see the results of it in my life and in the rest of my family.

Today didn't start off with me really wanting to go. I woke up feeling sick, and I threw up. That and the headache I felt yesterday, along with the anxiety and depressed feelings I've had... well, I soon realized that being around the fellowship was something that would do me some good today.

I really pray that I'm able to worship you wholeheartedly. Not just today, but every day. Give me the "want to" and the heart to do what is right.

I love you, Lord Jesus, for your sacrifice, and I pray that I'm in touch with it more and more.

Thank you, Holy Spirit, for living inside me. Help me to be more submissive.

Your son,
Danny
