You're for me



God, I know that You're for me.

You answer every cry I make to You.

Whether I'm singing Your praise or crying out in hurt and pain, I know that You'll answer me in the way that's Your will.

I thank You for being there for me through good and bad times.

Your love has seen me through some tough times recently, but now my life is on the up again.

And I just want to praise Your name.

Judgement and Grace



Lord, I know that at times I am too quick to judge

I know that I should be more gracious even when people have done bad things

Lord, You know my heart

You know when I judge

Help me to show Your grace no matter what people have done

You are the only one who can judge wrong doers who do the things which are not Your will

I ask this in Your name

Judgement

Lord, I know that Your word says to judge others as I wish to be judged.
I know that I should show Your love and grace to all.
I know I don't always show Your love and grace to people who do evil things.
Especially those who hurt others.
So now I turn my eyes to You.
And ask You to show me how to be less judgemental.
And to show Your love and grace to everyone.

Missing Children



I pray that God is with all the missing children wherevere they are in the world.

Lord be with the familes of the missing children, let them feel your comforting presence as they try to deal with the empty place at the kitchen table, the toys no longer being played with.

Be with the children who are away from their loving familes, protect them Lord from harm.

Be with the police and authorities searching for the children who are missing, remove the… Continue

Grief



Sadly grief comes to all of us, we all lose loved ones called home to God.

The journey or path through grief to healing can be difficult and painful.

But by clinging to God we will get through to the healing at the end.

There will be tears and sleepless nights along the way but God is there through it all.

Trust Him and through time, grief will cease and healing will come.

God will let me smile again and be the lively, outgoing person I'm meant to… Continue

Atlantic Sunrise



I sit here watching the sunrise from the dark sea below to the blue sky above.

I've been through a dark time in my life but with God's love and grace, the sun is beginning to shine again.

The weeks and months ahead may have times as dark as the sea below, but by clinging to God, the sun will rise in my life just like it rises from the dark sea below to the blue sky above.

Lord, You know my hopes and dreams.
You know the plan You have for my life.
You know what's hurting me.
And now I put my trust in You and You alone.
I give You all the hurt and pain and trust You to see me through.

Written 10th December 2007, the day after a dedication at church. I cried on a friend's shoulder during the dedication.

Infertility - 1 Year on



I sit here at the foot of the Cross crying out to God

Lord, You see the hurt and the pain of watching friends and family getting pregnant and having children

Being pleased for them, congratulating them but wondering when I'll be among them

Lord, You see the look in Malcolm's eyes when he holds a child in his arms

You know how we would love and care for any child we are blessed with

We will feed them, clothe them and provide all they… Continue
