Dear Lord,

Thank You for an other day of life on planet earth. I try to imagine You and Your Kingdom, and how perfect and beautiful You are; but I can’t even begin to understand Your awesomeness and mighty power!

Open my eyes of understanding today, and help me to walk in Your Kingdom, in Your righteousness, and in Your glory. Thank You for Your Holy Spirit who lives in me and guides me daily. Lord, let me love You and others the way that You love me, and give me wisdom and understanding in dealing with other people today.

I love that You love me unconditionally, and that I have Your promise of everlasting life in Your glorious presence! Lord, I apologize for the interruption when I was called out for work early; but I know You understand. Let me speak of Your word boldly to others, and use me as You wish for Your purpose. Thank You for calling me to service for You.

Love, Bill

My love letter for today:

Lord, You are amazing and powerful and all-knowing, and oh so glorious! I come before Your Holy Presence today as Your humble servant, in thanksgiving and praise for who You are and who You are making me to be. Lord, You have given me the gift of encouragement, and I ask that You continue to give me the words to say to my friends, strangers, and co-workers today, that Your love may clearly show through me.

I thank You also for the women in my life, especially SW and NC. Lord, You have put me in their lives, and them in mine for a time such as this, and I am so grateful for both of them. I lift them up to You today in prayer, that You work in S’s son’s life, as well as her sisters’ lives, that they will come to know and love You. Also, I pray for S’s health, that you continue to encourage her to keep walking every day.

I pray for NC today, that You protect her and provide for her all her needs, Lord. N is such an inspiration to me, that she is so in love with You! She brightens my day every day, and I am so grateful for her in my life. Thank You! Lord, help her to continue trusting in You even when things don’t seem to be going the way that she thinks they should go.

Thank You so much, Lord, for who You are!

Love, Bill

Thank You for another day of life and for the extra jelly at breakfast. Thank You for the moon and stars that You created and that I can see from here. Lord, it amazes me every day that though You are all-knowing and all-powerful and mighty, that You never give up on me, and never will. I thank You for Your unending lovingkindness toward me, Your imperfect servant. Guide me as to how You would have me act and speak today, and let me fully surrender to Your will. I ask for increased faith and wisdom and understanding in dealing with other people daily. I ask that You continue to be with my loved ones on the outside, and continue protecting, providing for, and comforting them. I thank You so much for everyone You’ve put in my life right now, and I ask that I be a blessing, through You, to them as well. Lord, let me know how You want me to love You today.

Love, Bill

My love letter for today:

Lord, I thank You for the time I spent in prison because it made me realize it’s not about me. Now, almost three years out, I still thank You for another day of life and for Your awesome creation! I thank You that I was able to find other work that pays more and is very close to home. I thank You also for where I am living, and for the women You have brought into my life. Lord, You are so amazing; I have no words that would come close to describing the joy I feel in Your presence. Lord, thank You for my neighbors, and for the relationships we are building with each other through You.

Thank You for the gifts of cooking, encouragement, coding, and photography, that You have given me. Lord, may I be an encouragement to someone today, that they may feel Your love very strongly through me. I pray for my friend Lauren, that You continue to work in her heart, that she be convicted of her great need for You, Lord. Protect her, provide for her all her needs, and let her feel Your presence in her life. Lord, let her see her true worth as a woman through the filter of Your great love for her. Thank You Lord.

Love, Bill
