Open Prayer

Being away from home on this last deployment to the gulf of Mexico came with an awakening of the place all things fit in this world.  I know that my family is my heart and that more than anything I need and want them in my life.  Many nights I sat on deck listening to the sounds of the water, the wind, and the wild life.  My only companions through the dark hours.  The sounds were comfort and serenity keeping time with my heart.  Every dawn brought a balze of glory to the eastern sky and the promise of renewal for the world.  Each day many people put their lives on the line to protect the natural resources of this area.  Its not just the military that puts their lives on the line every day for this country....its everyday people who just want to make a difference.....people like me who want to be of service in any way they can to make the world a better place.

Here is my prayer for family, for friends, for the world.

Heavenly FATHER, in the name of JESUS, I pray for healing in my family, for salvation of my siblings, my parents, and extended family. I pray that you would heal my Family physically and emotionally in JESUS' holy name. I pray that you would give me a loving family and heal all that you know is ill in my life. I pray for salvation of all of my enemies and that you would forgive me for being unfaithful to you and that you would take away the pain of loneliness....I'm asking for your clear, in my face, leading and guidance. Please show me what you want me to do LORD. I'm seeking, knocking, and crying out with pain in my heart...I want to help others but don't know what you want me to do. I have been criticized and ignored  my whole life... please let me continue so that I can overcome. I know the enemy is using family to pull me away I PRAISE YOU AND THANK YOU LORD AMEN
