September 21, 2006

O Lord, what do You want from me today?
You know what is going on in my heart right now- I struggled with being in the internship last year
because of my deafness (I felt as though I didn't have a place with everyone, I didn't fit in)
and even now, as an second year and leader, I still struggle with it once in a while.

I have good and bad days. Sometimes I feel like I'm not good enough as a leader and I can't do it-
I'm afraid to let people down. Then I have good days where I feel strong and I can do it,
I can do whatever- no matter how tough it may get.
I know that I am called to do the internship.

Lord, help me stop believing the lies spoke over me by my enemies.
They have no claim over me, I am all Yours, O Lord.

One of my desires is to have a heart for prayer, intercession prayer.
Lord, I want a voice of my own to speak out what is on my heart.
I do not want to be silent anymore.
I want to speak truth and wisdom.
Give me a voice of my own, O Lord.

"Ask and it will be given to you;
seek and you will find; knock and
it will be opened to you.
For everyone who asks recieves, and he who seeks, finds,
and to him who knocks it will be opened."
~Matthew 7:7-8

Lord, perfecten my speech so that I can talk better and clearer.
I want to speak justice and truth.
I want to speak life into people's lives.
That's the cry of my heart, O Lord.
You said, "Ask and it will be given to you....", I am asking for a heart of
intimacy and intercession prayer.
I'm asking for a voice so that I may speak out of the darkness and lead others to You.

Place in me this burning desire, I want nothing but You.
I thank You, for everything.
In Jesus's name, amen.
