We Need You O God

My Lord,

You are good.  Although our circumstances change, You are good.

Although our health diminishes, You are good.

Although our finances and employment change, You are good.

Although the one we are praying for to receive salvation has not yet called out to you, You my Lord are good.

Although the government is not operating inside your will, You are good.

Although all of the days are not sunny days, in the storms, You are good.

Although the orphans and widows may feel alone, you are there and You are good.

Although many have not put their trust in you, You are good.

Although we have many questions and very little answers, You are good.

Although we struggle with sin, the enemy has been defeated.  YES, You are good.

Although there are countless times when we lean more on our feelings and less on our faith, YOU Father are a good GOD!

Lord, I lift up many in prayer to you.  There are countless request and needs that only you can answer.  We are hurting for our loved ones, for our Nation, for the Country, for the persecuted Christians, for the soilders and this endless war, for our overcrowded hospitals and prisons, for the homeless, for the children waiting to be adopted, and even for the animals waiting to be adopted.  We are asking for your healing and your delieverance from ISIS and to restore freedom and peace.  We need you here at home to bring your peace and your healing to our friends and loved ones.  Many have health concerns, many have lost a loved one, many have lost jobs and homes and many have big decisions to make and need your wisdom and discernment.  Lord, please hear our prayers and be the GOD that Your word says that you are.

I lift up the Wagner family, the Wilson family, the Gaddy family, the Bryant family, the Fuller family, the Jones family, the Carpenter family, the Dant family, the Ermold family, the Brewer family, the Nesbitt family, the Hernandez family, the Marceron family, the Huff family, the Pontow family, the Johnson family, the Hass family, the Rushing family, the Eggleston family, the Grier family, the Erving family, the Benferado family, the Livingston family, the Rhoda family, the Haynes family, the Perry family, the Edelstein family, the Burl family, the Seals family, the Women's Retreat, Tom, James, Taylor, Becky, Caroline, Carol, Angie, Yvonne, Charolette, Melanie, Alicia, Mother Williams, Tina, Neicy, Alicia, Julie, Sami, Beth, Kerry, MOPS, Barbara Jerosky, the Benitz family, Brittney, Samone, Kelly, Melissa, Eleanor, Dotty, Warren, Victoria, Shawna, Skye, Jessie, Jesse, Lorri, Nancy, Carolyn, Jackie, Josh, the four Kings, Linda Rae, Aunt Brenda, Aunt Ruby, Aunt Sylvia, the Gibson family, our bible study, those who read your word but are having difficulty understanding it, the grangirls school staff and classmates, Kathy, Carol, our youth, singles, single parents, healthcare professionals, public servants, North Beach neighbors, our churches and pastors, firefighters and law enforcement officers, postal workers, those who do not have health insurance, those who have little to no food on the table, those who need shelter, those who have no extended family, those who are waiting on answered prayers, those who do not know the power of prayer, those who have never prayed, those who are seeking a church home, those who are struggling with sin and strongholds, those who have no one in their life to encourage them, those who are pretending to be okay and need someone to call them out on it, those who have a passion and are afraid to take the first step, those who have never dreamt, those who are waiting and procrastinating when you've already given them specific instructions, those who are afraid and feel isolated, those who are stuck in the past, those who are too shy to tell others about the gospel, those who have too much money and are unsure how to bless others; wanting to make a difference but have trust issues, bless those who have a good life with a knowing that it's your grace that has given them that "great life" and that they are to seek ways to pay it forward.  Father, I have so many friends and loved ones that need you.  Please see the need and meet them ALL according to your perfect will and timing.

Father, there are many things that I do not understand, BUT I will #trust you!  I will trust you!

Eternally yours
