I whisper so softly my words are barely audible, but it doesn't matter because the One my words are for can hear my thoughts. Why do I bother to speak if my thoughts are already known? Because speaking words have less chance of breaking off on tangents than unspoken thoughts, at least in my personal experience.
The whisper, a prayer.
Almighty God, my heavenly Father, Creator, all glory to you, all honor, all praise. My life is in your hands, I submit my life to you. Even as I live daily with my countless imperfections I ask you to forgive me, to take me as wholly yours and for you to use me in your service. Father, you've told me to not to worry about anything, but to pray and in praying make supplication to you, and be thankful. I am making my requests to you.
My requests- my family, those closest to me and those distant, so many needs, so many health problems, financial problems, family problems, life problems. This world ruled by Satan has saturated our lives with his evilness on every level possible. The chaos that surrounds us doesn't let up. The swirling winds of evil blow about us all threatening to topple us at any moment. You are our only refuge. You hold out to us the promise of a new world, and this is what we have to cling to, that future hope. Even as we hold fast to the hope to be realized upon the return of our Savior, we ask that you please give us all we need to survive- mentally, emotionally, physically, spiritually keep us as yours, wholly yours. We may be tortured daily because our suffering in this world of evil is inevitable and you cannot take us out of this world, but you CAN keep us from evil. Our Savior prayed this of You for us. Our Savior didn't ask you to take us out of the evil world, but to keep us from its evil- an evil that wants to consume us on any and all levels.
Joh 17:15 I pray not that thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that thou shouldest keep them from the evil.
Please, keep us from evil, keep all my loved ones from evil. Give all of us all we need to be YOURS! Please. No matter our suffering, if it's our lot to suffer the worst of the worst, please don't let that suffering tear us away from being Yours now and forever! Please. I long to be healed, I long for my loved ones to be healed, but first and foremost I long for us all to be YOURS! Financially the future is scary, health wise the future is frightening, but it is all in your hands, keep us in your hands. We are unworthy, by your grace alone. I surrender to your grace. Thank you, Father, thank you.
Php 4:6 Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.
Php 4:7 And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
All through Christ Jesus.
