Haven't Prayed In Awhile...

[Michael]

I have not prayed in awhile and the cause is bitterness. Bitterness at all the horrible things that happened to me over the past year. Bitterness to humanity and all the people who wronged me. Bitterness towards God for allowing or turning a blind eye to my pleas for help. I am not God though and am not perfect. I am all that I am and cannot see the purpose or reason for all things that befell me. It's that lack of understanding that spawns this bitterness, but I will out of blind hope pray for these few things today.

I wish God would help me find pleasure in life again.
I wish He would help me find a new job that I enjoy as I have come to loath the one I have now.
I wish He would help my ex-girlfriend become the person she once was, even if she isn't with me.
I wish God would end my despair, loneliness, and bitterness.

Holy God and loving Father, I consciously place my fears, worries, anxieties, and burdens in your hands. I know that I have so little power to change the outcome of these events and I trust that you will work what is pleasing to you, and best for me, out of these situations. Forgive me for my anxious thoughts and for letting my own worry become an idol that robs you of my full trust. Strengthen and empower me to trust you more by the power and presence of your Spirit. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen

Most Holy God in Heaven, please look down from your throne of grace and have pity on us, it said's in your word your grace and love for us is great, that you alone are the author of our fate, and if we follow the path that you have laid out for us before we were born, all will go well for our soul, so show us the path Father so that we may always be in your will, Father we cling to the belief that you alone are the answer to our wants and needs, we leave our problems at your feet, Father give us the strength to leave them there and not try to do your job for you, we are weak but you are strong, you are our rock that we run to when the world closes in on us, hide us in the shadow of your mighty wings, where there is healing, we give our all to you Lord, our troubles and our needs, restore us, and heal us in your name Jesus, we pray, Amen.

Dear Lord, give ### the strength to forgive and to press on in seeking Your face like Job of old did. And if this dear brother is not connected to Your church, may he do so as we ask this in Your mighty name, Jesus, amen.

Then Job answered and said:

[SIZE=.75em]2 “Even today my complaint is bitter;[/SIZE]
My hand is listless because of my groaning.
[SIZE=.75em]3 Oh, that I knew where I might find Him,[/SIZE]
That I might come to His seat!
[SIZE=.75em]4 [/SIZE]I would present my case before Him,
And fill my mouth with arguments.
[SIZE=.75em]5 [/SIZE]I would know the words which He would answer me,
And understand what He would say to me.
[SIZE=.75em]6 [/SIZE]Would He contend with me in His great power?
No! But He would take note of me.
[SIZE=.75em]7 [/SIZE]There the upright could reason with Him,
And I would be delivered forever from my Judge.
[SIZE=.75em]8 “Look, I go forward, but He is not there,[/SIZE]
And backward, but I cannot perceive Him;
[SIZE=.75em]9 [/SIZE]When He works on the left hand, I cannot behold Him;
When He turns to the right hand, I cannot see Him.
[SIZE=.75em]10 [/SIZE]But He knows the way that I take;
When He has tested me, I shall come forth as gold.
[SIZE=.75em]11 [/SIZE]My foot has held fast to His steps;
I have kept His way and not turned aside.
[SIZE=.75em]12 [/SIZE]I have not departed from the commandment of His lips;
I have treasured the words of His mouth
More than my necessary food.
[SIZE=.75em]13 “But He is unique, and who can make Him change?[/SIZE]
And whatever His soul desires, that He does.
[SIZE=.75em]14 [/SIZE]For He performs what is appointed for me,
And many such things are with Him.
[SIZE=.75em]15 [/SIZE]Therefore I am terrified at His presence;
When I consider this, I am afraid of Him.
[SIZE=.75em]16 [/SIZE]For God made my heart weak,
And the Almighty terrifies me;
[SIZE=.75em]17 [/SIZE]Because I was not cut off from the presence of darkness,
And He did not hide deep darkness from my face.-Job 23

[SIZE=.75em]25 [/SIZE]

Whom have I in heaven but You?
And there is none upon earth that I desire besides You.
[SIZE=.75em]26 [/SIZE]My flesh and my heart fail;
But God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever.-Psalm 73
[SIZE=.75em]13 [/SIZE]

I would have lost heart, unless I had believed
That I would see the goodness of the Lord
In the land of the living.
[SIZE=.75em]14 Wait on the Lord[/SIZE];
Be of good courage,
And He shall strengthen your heart;
Wait, I say, on the Lord!-Psalm 27
