God, Help Me!

You made great teachers out of tax collectors

and turned fishermen into great doctors

My God, take my heart in pieces

and make it whole again.

You fed the multitudes with two loaves of bread and 3 fish

and turned plain water into wine

My God, carry me out of this financial crisis whirlpool

that keeps sucking me down

You spoke the earth into existence

and created mankind out of dust

Bless and strengthen my spirit t

hat I can rebuke the devil and his evil ways

You raised Lazarus from the dead

and gave sight to the blind

My God, wash me clean of my sins and infirmities

so I can worship you wholly.

Look into my heart, oh my God

Give me strength to fight my battles

Give me courage to face my challenges

Give me patience to endure them

 Give me wisdom to make sound choices

Give me love to answer my enemies with love

Give me humility to accept and learn from my struggles

Broaden my faith, my God, that I may always see you in my pain.

Fighting the Enemy

My battles in life come one after the other

the enemy is much stronger now

he’s studied my strengths and weaknesses

he knows my vulnerabilities

he plans to attack me at my weakest points

but . . . I shall not be afraid

I shall boldly put on the “armor of God”.

and sing praises to God as I push forward fearlessly

for I know Jehovah is by my side

and with him I can do all things . . .

. . . I can freeze the sun in the sky,

. . . part the red sea

. . . make great walls tumble down

. . . and he will make me walk on water

With him as my God I can move mountains

. . . and silence a great storm

the furnace will not burn me

the lions will not devour me

So even though I am weak and fragile,

With God on my side I am INVINCIBLE

To God be the Praise

God, be with me forever.

Don’t allow me to walk alone

For I know not my path

I am nothing without you

I surrender myself to you

I submit myself to you with humility

You are my strength

You are my rock, my protector and guardian

I empty my heart of pride and conceit

I empty my head of selfishness and individualism

So that you can dwell in me

Though life presents challenges

that at times seem overwhelming

I rest assured that with you by my side

I will survive

Storms may pass

Earthquakes don’t last

And floods cease

But you, my God, are victory

You are mightier than the winds

You are greater than the earthquakes and the floods

You are……..MY GOD!
