Praying and Praising

Dear Lord,

I feel compelled to pray today ~

I'm praying for the sick, the brokenhearted, the discouraged, the confused, the disappointed, the desperate, the lost, the oppressed.  I am praying for the people I know and love who need an extra touch of Your hand on them right now.

I feel compelled to praise today ~

I'm praising You for miracles of healing, for restoration of relationships, for hope, for whispers of encouragement, for signs of answered prayer, for freeing the captives, for Your sweet love and grace.


I feel compelled to be thankful today ~

I am thankful for the joy I feel despite my circumstances; a joy that is only possible through the gift of the Spirit.

Amen.
