transforming

Heavenly Father, i drop to my knees before You as i find You in my heart.

i am ready now to co-create with you...to manifest big changes that will make me better of service to You, to Your people, to those You want me to meet.

i feel Your love and Your support and Your guidance within me, though i know there is more work to do.  i no longer walk afraid, knowing that You love me and that love is greater than anything i can understand.

and i dont want to understand.  i surrender to Your will, knowing that i have my will as well.  i respect that You will always want more for me, more than i could ever imagine.

and so i welcome what is to come, and i release that which has passed.

my heart is tender, Lord, as i let go of those in my life who no longer serve me.  i still love them all, Abba, love the good and the better of them, but it is now done.

i know this, especially in my career.  i do not want to return as a counselor, knowing that the risk i am about to take will be smiled upon by You.

Father, please pick me up when i stumble,. please give me strength when i want to stay down, please give me patience when i feel as if nothing is happening.

i place before you my deep desire to be a photojournalist, to be successful in bringing light to those lives and hearts who may be forgotten.

i want them to be seen, i want them to be admired, and i want those who see their faces and read their stories...i want those people to be amazed and humbled.

i am humbled by the love You have for me, and i dwell in that space.  i love it there, wherever i am, i love that You meet me when i am at the top of the mountain or in the valley.

and i ask You now to please bless my father, my mother, my sister, and my brother.  i ask You to hear their cries for You, even if they are unable to hear You with their ears.  always hold them in the palm of Your hands and pour Jesus' precious blood over their pain.

i ask You to please bless my family, the struggles they face, and please be with them when they feel alone.

i ask You to bless my friends, Father, and please give them the love they need.

Jesus and Raphael, thank You for Your healing grace, for giving me an abundance of wealth.

Mother, thank You for driving with me every morning on my way to work.

i love You all.

in Jesus' name.
