Truly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, 'Be taken up and thrown into the sea,' and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that what he says will come to pass, it will be done for him. Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours.
I felt the need to go to my Lord in prayer, the desire to bend my knees before the king of the Universe and my faithful friend. He is great and powerful and controls all. He holds the Universe and everything in it in the palms of His hands. He is a God that counts every hair that falls from my head, and knows my coming and going. He knows all my secrets, and all my hopes and all my desires.
So in prayer I go to my loyal God and I ask Him to forgive me for all my foolishness, and for the sins I commit every day. I ask for His help, that I might be strong enough to walk righteously, on the path that He set before me and not wander from it to places where harm awaits me. I repent of the jealousy and envy the eats at me when I see the good in other people. I repent of the gluttony that sometimes rules my life, when I try to fill my emptiness with anything, instead of relying on the Holy Spirit to fill me with His wonder. I lament my covertness of material things, when I know he has given my much more than I deserve. I ask him to clear my head of perverse and evil thoughts and to capture my thoughts with His love and mercy and goodness.
I speak with him about all my children, one by one and ask that He bless them every day and put His love into their hearts that they may follow Him on the path of order and goodness towards eternity.
I pray that he would keep them from harm and teach them the lessons he wants them to learn. I ask that He give them all that they need, knowing that He is the faithful one and He will deliver.

On my knees with my heart in His hands, I ask him for endurance to accomplish all the mundane chores waiting to be done. I pray about all the walls that need painting, the plants that need to be potted, the garments that need to stitched, the friends that need to be called, the emails waiting for an answer, the prayers that need to be prayed for those that need a good and faithful God.
I ask him for strength on my job every day and that I not only do a good job but that I would be a testimony of his grace to all of my co- workers. I pray that they would see in me the light of Christ shining in a dark and dreary world. That His love would reach from my heart to the unsaved.
I give Him thanks that He waits in Heaven to hear my prayers and that in His time and His way He will answer all my petitions. I thank Him for working His will in my life, for His mercy and grace. I thank Him that in the end, He will bring me home to eternal glory and peace and life everlasting in His presence.
Over all I pray that he will be glorified by my life here on this earth, that I would please Him all of my days, that I may serve Him and only Him.
And, in the name of my Savior and Lord Jesus Christ, I thank the Lord that I felt the need to go to my Lord in prayer.
