Waking up thankful...

Today as I woke I didn't think about Jesus or Beauty. I was focused in on how much I did not want to get out of bed and how much longer I could stay in bed without effecting others in my family, then... I had a thought rush over me and I was smiling. I often think of the many reason that I do not deserve to be blessed or receive God's grace but today I just felt loved and cared for. Today is not a special day, nothing out of the ordinary happening but... I am prepared for this day because I believe my heavenly Father hugged me. I am jus so thankful for a Father that loves me and knows everything about me and stills longs to hug me through my day.

Dear Father God, Thank you so much for your unquenched desire to be close to me. I pray that as I focus my eyes on you today that my life will mirror what I believe in my heart. Today may my steps be bold, my thoughts be clear and you be my first priority in every step I take, word I speak and decision I make. Father, I do want to walk beside you in your work I want to know you more, lead me and teach me what all that takes from me. May today be a day that I truly seek you and your will.
As a wife Father, I ask that you just place gentle reminders in my path of the wonderful blessing that I have in my husband. May I desire to serve him in the ways that you want me to Lord and may I bow my will to him and learn true Godly submission. I praise you Lord for the loving, patient, whole-ly completing Father that you are.
I pray that as parents, we would be focused on you, strong in each other and able to lead our children in your ways. Thank you for the precious blessing of each of their individual gifts and characters, teach us and provide clarity in our discipline of them. I desire for them to be and fulfill your plans for them and to be the best children of God that you created them to be. Help us to accomplish your will in them and not ours.
Father God, you are wonderful, majestic and unparalleled in might, you are love, hope, acceptance and freedom help you children to grasp hold of the life you have chosen for us and live in the victory of our salvation.
I love you and praise you in the most high name of Jesus Christ, I do pray to you Amen
