Let us pray …a women’s strength

Heavenly Father,

I come before You with a heart full of both gratitude and surrender. Lord, I feel I have done all I can do, and in my weariness, I lay every burden at Your feet. You alone have been my strength through trials, my comfort in tears, and my guide when I could not see the way. When my hands felt empty, Your Word filled my spirit, and when my heart was heavy, Your promises lifted me up.

I thank You, Lord, for every hardship I have faced, for in those moments, I saw Your faithfulness more clearly. You have brought me through the storms, not untouched but undefeated. Through it all, You have refined me and given me the strength to endure. I thank You for carrying me when I had no strength left to stand, for providing when I had no more to give, and for speaking peace when my heart was in turmoil.

I stand firm now on Your Word, knowing that even when I have nothing left, You are more than enough. I trust in Your perfect will and timing, and I hold on to the truth that You are working all things for my good. My faith is anchored in You, Lord, and I know that what I cannot see, You already know. What I cannot change, You are already working out.

Thank You for being my constant hope, my unshakable foundation, and the One who never leaves me. I trust You completely and surrender all that I am and all that I have to Your perfect care.

In Jesus’ mighty name, I pray, it is done as above so below.

this is me heavy in my grief, watching Will Packer's Almost Christmas

...I thought was a Lee Daniel's movie but I can see the end now, the behind the scenes

this is me processing grief, watching Dan Fogelman's This is Us

this is me foreshadowing my family become divided, watching Lee Daniel's Our Kind of People

this is me not knowing who to trust, watching Lee Daniel's The Reading

this is me heavy in my faith, living Lee Daniel's The Deliverance

this is me telling my story through the art of storytelling

this is my motion picture

Heavenly Father,

Thank You for Your love and grace that surround me daily.

I am grateful for the prayers You have answered,

For the blessings that have come in ways I could see and understand.

I also thank You for the prayers that remain unanswered,

For in those moments, You teach me patience, trust, and faith.

I trust in Your wisdom, knowing that You always know what is best for me.

Whether I receive what I ask for or not,

I know You are guiding my steps and watching over me.

With a heart full of gratitude, I rest in Your perfect will.
