Lord,

So much has happened since I last wrote my prayers down.  you answered my prayers about a man in my life by reconnecting me with someone.  I didn't think I'd be attracted. He'd always been on of those "good guys" from the hometown. But he swept me off my feet. He was everything I prayed for and these last few months have been the happiest in my life.  He seemed to want the same things.  He wanted a relationship and a future.  He wanted our kids to know each other.  He called me the love of his life and his family.

Now just last week, things are all of a sudden different and I don't know what happened.  It has to be an attack by the enemy.  Because I'll never believe that you would orchestrate something so wonderful and allow doubts and uncertainty to creep in if it were your plan.  Your word says your plan is to give us a hope and a future, to bless and prosper us.

Lord, we're 48 years old.  You know this.  Of course we come together with baggage and issues.  But we acknowledge that and I know I'm committed to working on mine and being patient while he works on his.  I love him so much with all my heart.  I don't think either of us will ever find anyone else that is so perfect a fit.  Lord please don't take this away.  Bind the enemy at the door and cease his attack on us. Your Word says Satan is already defeated and his only hope is to steal our joy when he can. Lord, I pray that we do not allow him to steal ours!  Guard our hearts and protect our minds. Those that speak against our relationship, I ask you to render them mute.  Remove all doubts from his mind that he is enough for me.  Speak to his heart and give him rest when he is weary from the things that drain him.  Show me how to best love him and be what he needs.  Remove all doubts from his family's mind that I'm the one for him.  Paralyze these making unreasonable pulls on him and don't allow me to do so either.

Lord, direct his steps and make his path clear.

In Jesus' name,


God can restore what is broken and change it into something amazing.  All you need is faith.  Joel 2:25

Praying that he will make wise choices:  Galatians 5:13-15

You my brothers were called to be free.  But do not use your freedom to indulge the sinful nature! Rather serve one another in love.  The entire law is summed up in a single command.  Love your neighbor as yourself.  If you keep on biting and devouring each other, you will be destroyed by each other.

Lord, I know you know all that has happened.  It certainly wasn't what I wanted but I trust that You know better.  I am glad I found out the truth before I wasted anymore time or more of my heart. I know you know the awful things I said in the midst of my pain.  Some of it--they deserve.  And I do regret that I couldn't control my emotions or actions.  nothing excuses what I did.  And I'll do my best to make amends in time--though I doubt they care.  Right now they only forgiveness that matters to me is Yours for me and mine for those that hurt me.  I know You will deal with them.  I know that he didn't fit Your plan for my life.  I still need You to show me what Your plan is.  And I trust that You will.  Thank you for my family and friends that have stuck with me through this awful time.  Help me to stay off social media and anything else not meant for me to mend my heart, grow my faith or anything that takes my focus...

Prayer for my daughters

Oh heavenly Father, I lift up my daughters to you.  I love them so much.  Please take care of them Lord.  Cover them with your blessings and protection.  Let me let go of my desire to confirm them to my will.  show me how to protect them and guide them into wisdom. Let them know they are loved as they are.  Let me love them also as they are.  Let them know they are indeed princesses in a kingdom far greater than any fairy tale, a kingdom with a great king who reigns with justice and mercy.  Make them strong in your Word. Let them be tender and gentle and let your love flow through their lives and hearts.  In Jesus' Holy name,  Amen

Day 1: Your family (Psalm 103:17-18)

Psalm 103:17-18 New International Version (NIV) 17  But from everlasting to everlasting      the  Lord ’s love is with those who fear him,      and his righteousness with their children’s children — 18  with those who keep his covenant      and remember  to obey his precepts. Lord, You know I have not done the best job as a mom. I like to believe that most of the time I did the best I could with what I had. I know I made MANY mistakes. I lacked patience. I focused too much on the wrong things. I wasn't the best example. But I did try. I loved them (and still love them) more than anything else. And almost every mistake I made came from wanting to raise them right. My prayer was always that they would have lives that were happy, well-adjusted and that they would know their purpose early and live for You.  I am so thankful that all were saved young and even though they aren't currently in churc...
