My loving and generous Father, I come before You this night, bursting with praise and thankfulness. Tomorrow morning, my daughter will graduate from college - a blessing You have bestowed upon our family. Let her feel how proud we are of her, I pray. She has worked so hard, remained so focused, completing 3 degrees in 3 1/2 years while participating in work study and holding a full time job. She is a beautiful young woman, Father - inside and out - and I praise You that she has claimed Jesus as her Lord and Savior. Thank You for the blessing of her new job, her new home, her start on a brand new life. I stand amazed at how much love and blessing You have lavished upon our family in this regard. We are truly blessed.
Father, I also came to a revelation today that I'd like help with. I have fallen back into a pattern of always putting myself last...at work, at home, in social situations, even here amongst my prayer partners. I have prayer needs, but I rarely request prayer. I realize that this not only hurts me, but it takes away the opportunity and blessing of others to pray for me. So this day, I will begin with two requests. I pray that I can begin the new year with a resolution to the estate matter that hangs over my family. This could be a financial disaster without a true blessing by Your hand. I know You have a reason for not revealing the resolution as of yet, but I earnestly pray for release from the daily worry and stress this places in my life. I need a miracle, Father and I trust You in all ways. I also pray that the new year can be a time of caring for myself better....diet, exercise, spiritual time. Help me regain a healthy balance in all areas of my life, and show me how to make sure You are at the center of each one. It's been a hard two years, Father....I am emotionally and physically tired from dealing with all of the loss, grief and health concerns within my family. Grant us a season of renewal, joy and renewed hope. I love You, I trust You, I stand in awe of Your goodness and mercy. Thank You for each blessing and each trial, for they all bring me new understanding and appreciation for You. In Jesus' name, I pray in faith. Amen.
