Dear God, It's Me Again...
by miss iris 
Hey God, it's me again. You know something is wrong don't you? Well, you know everything, but it seems I have these deep conversations with you when things aren't going well. Yeah, I get up in the morning and I say hi, or I am driving and I think of you, but I don't really come and sit and talk to you unless something is wrong and quite frankly, that's a bit messed up ...
You are God, you are almighty, you know everything ... Yet I chose to only seek you when I'm down ... to only come to you when I'm tired and upset. I am sorry ... I love you more than that God, I love you with all my heart and I am always in awe that I can come and talk to you like this. I just want you to know that. To know that I am thinking of you.
Right now, I'm more upset with myself than anything else. I've become self absorbed ... self centered ... self seeking ... I let myself just think of myself and I am upset because of that. Where is your will God? Where is the yearning to do what you want me to do? I want that back. I want your will be done. You know me God, you have made me and you know my inner workings and you know what it is I desire and what it is I want. However, please, line those up to your will ... throw away whatever it is inside of me that is outside of your plan, no matter how much it hurts. I know this cleaning will be for a season, but I also know I will come out better in the end.
My one desire above all else, is to serve you.
I ask that you help me with "Your will be done", yes Lord, this is what I want.Thank you for listening,
Thank you and I pray all this in Jesus' name ...What prayer is on your heart right now?

I'm pretty sure this is exactly the prayer on my heart. I also need guidance, peace, and restoration, but that pretty much summed up how I'm feeling at the moment. Actually for a while now
i'd like to have a deep relationship with God too. :)
I love the fact that we can have this deeper kind of relationship with God. That He indeed is as personal as the person right next to you that you can see. That His embrace brings about more warmth, comfort and reassurance than anything else ever could. This prayer is a prayer of the heart. And He brought it forth to be verbalized from your lips to awaken your senses to a greater awareness of Him. Isn't He sweet? Lovely.
... just placed my prayer thoughts in my blog. Generally, to serve diligently and to trust in His timing. I constantly need to remind myself that our God is a loving an compassionate... and need to place that in my heart and mind.
My husband and I are trying very hard to become better financial stewards. Next week will be his first paycheck that we are truly going to tithe our 10%. It's a fairly reasonable amount of money and I am praying that He will lead us to give that money where He wants it to be, so we have no doubt when we give it. I am excited to do it, but I want to have peace that it's given with a faithful heart.
exactly what you have written there. i've fallen away over the summer and slowly coming back again to the light.

I GET IT!
Especially at the moment!

Absolutely touching.
That was my prayer when I prayed to God. Now I hardly pray (to be honest, I'm an agnostic), but when I do, I ONLY pray for others so as not to be selfish.
God doesn't answer our prayers, so to speak, but gives us an opportunity to help ourselves. For instance, I used to know "Christians" who would pray for an A on their exams (which I think is completely stupid, no offense), but He is not going to give you an A on your exam no matter how devout and faithful you may be. He might, if anything, instead give you an opportunity to help yourself to get that A yourself.
oh let me count the prayers...
the most significant one though has been the running theme of these past few months... no matter how hard i TRY NOT to pray... i keep on...
so... yea... that's all we'll say to that...
I completely feel like this! I am too selfish in my relationship with God!
Absolutely No idea how I want him back. But I always feel like I don't deserve it, because I am too selfish.
a prayer of thanks... and apologies... and marvel at His mercy and glory. the prayer you wrote... is exactly the kind that brought about my journey with God... but I've kept on... through His miracles and His kindness... and my prayers are now those of thanksgiving and worship. you'll get there too... keep at it! *hug*
