prayer journal

well, I have been vertually nonexistant on this blog since I first created it. So, I'm going to start something new.
It's called a prayer journal, and it's just that, a journal where I write down my prayers for the world, country, my family, myself, and anything or anyone else that needs prayer at that particular moment. My goal is to write twice per day, once in the morning, and once in the evening, and maybe more if things are on my mind.
Noone has to read, but comments are welecome, if you need prayer or if I need advice or bible verses of hope and inspiration.
So for this post:
Sunday, November 9, 2008. Dear lord, I'd first like to thank you for everything that you've blessed me with today, and every day. These things aren't material things lord, they're people. I'm so blessed to have each and every friend in my life, and I know you've put them their for a reason. We all go through trouble, but with your help, we'll get through it all, and only you know the purpose of everything we as god's children have and will be going through. Also, plese be with our country as we are going through transition, and with the church I attend, and every other church that may be going through change. Please be with those who are sick and in need of your blessing. Help those who may not know you and walk with you to become one of your followers, and just be with all of your children no matter what they are going through at this time. Please give me the strength to get through each and every day, not only as a college student and through every day life, but to grow and become closer to you. It's in your name I pray, amen.
God bless you all, and may we all become closer to the lord.
