I thank you for the breath in my lungs and that you always hear me, but I need you now in a special way. I am still waiting for your purpose to be revealed in my my life, help me to see that my prayers are like a file in a cabinet and not a football pass. God you never miss the ball. Even though I feel like I've been alone for a while now, I'll hold onto to memories of those times when you were so close I could feel your hand on my shoulder.
Please show me where you are Lord. I'm doing what you ask me to do but I don't see anything. Every day in my Bible courses, there are students with the same prayer requests: cancer, death, foreclosure, suicide, abandonment and divorce—show up in a big way God. How about an angel? Could you send us an angel Lord? Nevertheless, build our faith Jesus, that we may see the evidence of your work in everything.
I pray for my family: many of them know you in their heads but don't live it out, because they treat me worse than balled up toilet paper. Open up opportunities so that I can speak life into their anger and depression. Make me an ambassador of Heaven.
Thank You Lord for these simple trials because they remind me that I'm an alien here. I'm a foreigner that'll never quite fit in, but that's OK. I will find peace in you and the knowledge that us foreigners number in the millions. We will wait on you Lord.
Please clothe me in your armor of light and strengthen me for this day.
Amen.
