Awesome, Blessed, Holy God,

Thank You that You are ALL these things. And so much more.

Thank You that with so much to be done this morning, coming here with You remained high on the list. Father, thank You for who and all You are.

I love, need, trust and want You as absolute Lord of my life. Do all You must that I will learn to truly worship, adore, glorify and enJOY You each and every single moment.

♪Let everything that has breath 

Praise the Lord

Praise The Lord♪

(Psalm 150:6)

Yes! Praise when I’m sure. Praise when I’m doubting. Teach me Father that I will truly learn to praise You always. As You so rightly deserve.

Do all You must in Your teaching Lord. I want to know and trust You so much more. Thank You. Praise You. Amen.

Forever!

Holy God,

Thank You that You are holy. Forever!

Falling down in worship

Forever is a concept I have struggled with through the years. The thought of life never ending can be more than a bit unsettling to me.

Thank You that we have the hope and Truth of Your Word to teach us about life. In, with, by, through and for You.

Psalm 16:11. “You will show me the way of life, granting me the joy of Your presence and the pleasures of living with You forever.”

John 14:1-4. “Don’t be troubled. You trust God, now trust in me. There are many rooms in my Father’s home, and I am going to prepare a place for you. If this were not so, I would tell you plainly. When everything is ready, I will come and get you, so you will always be with me were I am. And you know where I am going and how to get there.”

(5:38 a.m.)

I am confessing huge sadness to You right now. A very young law enforcement officer was shot and killed yesterday.

♪And all who’ve gone before us

And all who will believe

Will sing a song of ages to the Lamb♪

(5:58 a.m.)

This is one of those Romans 8:26 mornings where ‘I don’t even know what I should pray for, nor how I should pray.’ Thank You that “the Holy Spirit helps us in our distress… with groanings that cannot be expressed in words.”

Thank You that because You know all hearts, You know what the Spirit is saying “For the Spirit pleads for us believers in harmony with Your own will” (v. 27). Thank You that You 

♪Hear Your people sing holy

To the King of kings, holy

You will always be holy

Holy forever♪

Forever! Amen.

Use me exactly as You know is best. I love, need, trust and want You Lord. Forever! Thank You. Praise You. Amen.

Blessed, Holy God and Father,

Thank You. Thank You. Thank You.

Awake for hours. And willing to put one foot in front of the other. Just enough to take the very next step. Thank You. Thank You. Thank You.

You are teaching me. Comfort in my own skin. Accepting. Allowing. Being. Deciding…

Father, thank You.

There was a large gathering of loved ones yesterday. Each working together to comfort, honor and support one another. Thank You that I got to be a part of it all.

Sharing stories. Fears. Sadness. As well as joy. Thank You that Your love was the base of it all.

♪From the rising sun to the setting same

An attempt at more sleep yielded none. There was resting. And thinking. 

(5:46 a.m.)

Thank You Father for Your Word. Your Truth. Your promises.

Thank You for the opportunity to read. Rest. Trust. And grow.

We were surrounded by Your love in our gathering yesterday. Kindnesses were shown. Loving encouragements offered up. Tears were choked and shed. Joyful laughter giggled out. This is You at Your best Lord. Thank You.

You continue teaching me a myriad of new things. I want to rise to the challenge of living untroubled (John 14:1a). Trusting in You (v. 1b). Being fully alert and aware of my surroundings. Like I was yesterday. Watching the sunset from an expansive hilltop home.

Do all You must that I worship, adore, glorify and enjoy You as You so rightly deserve. 'Strip off every weight that slows me down (Hebrews 12:1a). Especially the sin that so easily trips us up (v. 1b). So I will run with endurance the race You have set before me' (1c).

The race of love and acceptance. Of You. Others. And myself. Teach me Dear Lord. All that You would have me be and know.

I love, need, trust and want You. Use me exactly as You know is best. Thank You. Praise You.

♪The sun comes up, it’s a new day dawning

Thank You Father,

You kept us safe during our long drives and visit yesterday. We shared. Explored. Remembered. Enjoyed. I’m asking (Matthew 7:7a) for more of the same today.

More memories. More safe traveling. More joy. More of You in our presence.

I want to stand firmly in, with, by, through and for You. Do all You must that I will trust the promises of Your Word.

Isaiah 41:10 “Don’t be afraid, for I am with you. Don’t be discouraged, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you. I will hold you up with my victorious right hand.”

Deuteronomy 31:8 “Do not be afraid or discouraged, for the LORD will personally go ahead of you. He will be with you; He will neither fail you nor abandon you.”

Joshua 1:9 “This is my command - be strong and courageous! Do not be afraid or discouraged. For the LORD your God is with you wherever you go.”

I want to represent You well Dearest Lord. Trusting You to use me exactly as You know is best. Singing. Smiling. Standing firm. And staying my all on You.

Isaiah 26:3 “You will keep in perfect peace all who trust in You, all whose thoughts are fixed on you!”

I love, need, trust, and want You Lord.

Friday, October 24, 2025 (4:17 a.m.)

Most Dear and Awesome, Holy Father God,

Thank You that I get to greet You each day. Thank You that I want to. Mm, yes. I do!

Reading, “My heart is ready, O God; I will awake and greet the dawn! I will give thanks to You, O Lord, among the peoples” (Psalm 57:8-9a) a different song starts singing.

♪From the rising sun

I’ll remain steadfast

And let my heart learn, when You speak a word

(Promises)

Thank You Father. You blessed us with a day of simplicity yesterday. Relatively easy travel. Genuine, heartfelt conversation. Laughter. Voices raised in friendship as one’s memory differed from another’s. Your love having tied us together through the decades.

Thank You for the ways You work in our lives. The hope You provide. Thank You for the opportunity to love and be loved by You.

Hebrews 6:19 “This hope is a strong and trustworthy anchor for our souls. It leads us through the curtain into God’s inner sanctuary.”
