The Prayer of My Heart

Abba Father,
words elude me. You’re waiting for me to realize your nearness; your arms are open wide and yet I don’t see you. I’ve been blind to your love and beloved closeness to me. YHWE, wake me up! Renew my mind! Speak to my doubts! And give me understanding. Give me the strength of faith and depth of trust to depend solely on you. Show me how much you love me! Reveal yourself in a way that will peel away whatever is covering my spirit eyes and touch my heart in a way I never thought possible. Blow my mind. Offend me! God, speak to me. Jehovah, show me a sign. Great One, enlighten me. Not my will, but thine. “Jesus, I’ve forgotten the words that you have spoken; promises that burned within my heart have now grown dim. With a doubting heart I follow the paths of earthly wisdom. Forgive me for my unbelief, renew the fire again.” Lord, you’re working on my heart, trying to tell me something, I can feel it building. Help me to know your voice and be prepared for what you have to show me; that I’ll be ready and willing to grow. Do an incredible life work in me. Make me the beautiful woman I long to be, the woman I am in your eyes.

Sweet Hannah, your heart is so pure, your search for onesness with the Father that brings peace beyond comprehension is evident. He is such a good Father. When He seems far, He is there. (Ps. 139)
"He is your refuge. Trust him and he will cover you with his feathers." (Ps 91) Thank you for your goodness, wisdom, and faith. Your inner strength even in times of darkness amazes me. "Search me, O God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts. See if there is any offensive way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting." Ps. 139:23-24
Keep your eyes on Jesus (Heb. 12:2)
and he will guide you through each mountain in your life, which is but a dot in kingdom perspective.
I love your heart,
mom

I love you Hannah!

I prayed a prayer similar to this the other night. I'm here if you need me.

*draws line with circle around it*

In Christ,

This is a prayer that i find myself repeating so often. The way you are able to use words to express your heart and feelings is really amazing.
You are such a light to me in this world that man has perverted.
You help me to shine and give me hope. you mean so much to me.
I'm always praying for you.
Te amo en el amor del Senor. ( I love you in the lord of YHWH)
