Prayer for today (8/26/15)

Heavenly Father, I come to you with thanksgiving in my heart to thank you for all your wonderful blessings. You gave me a God-fearing good husband for 24 and a half years and now he is with you.

You blessed me with two good parents to take care of and also a good family. Lord, you just keep on blessing me over and over again. Lord, I thirst on your word and you have given me the desires of my heart. Your grace and mercy keep me, Lord. Please don’t take it away from me. Lord. Thank you for teaching me to be a blessing to others on the streets and nursing homes. This I ask in the mighty name of Jesus. Amen.
