I'm struggling today...

Little Peanut is sick, not sleeping well, and cried ALOT last night.  We didn't sleep well and my heart is out of place.  I need lots of prayer.  I spent some time with my precious Lord and He brought me to Philippians chapter 4 this morning.  It is the prayer of my heart right now. 

Philippians 4:4-13
4Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! 5Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near. 6Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. 7And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. 8Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things. 9Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me—put it into practice. And the God of peace will be with you.10I rejoice greatly in the Lord that at last you have renewed your concern for me. Indeed, you have been concerned, but you had no opportunity to show it. 11I am not saying this because I am in need, for I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances. 12I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want. 13I can do everything through him who gives me strength.

I need you Lord, please change my heart.  Alnong with philippians this song is also my prayer today...

Change my heart oh God

Make it ever true

Change my heart oh God

May I be like You



Change my heart oh God

Make it ever true

Change my heart oh God

May I be like You



You are the potter

I am the clay

Mold me and make me

This is what I pray



Change my heart oh God

Make it ever true

Change my heart oh God
May I be like You




I need you Lord Jesus, I'm sorry for where my heart has been.  It is in my weakness that I am made strong by you.   2 Cor 12 9-10"My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on me. 10That is why, for Christ's sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong.
 
Thank you Jesus for showing me my heart, pulling me to my knees, and having a husband that serves you above all else!  I praise you for your unfailing love.  Thank you for saving me, thank you for your grace, mercy, and love. 
 
May I meditate on these verses today Lord Jesus, I cannot do this alone, please lead me.  I love you my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Amen.
