Everlasting Love {Prayer of Gratitude}

August 16, 2015 By Delonna Gibbs 1 Comment

Thank you Lord for your promise found in Jeremiah 31:3. An everlasting love is our inheritance if we chose to accept it. Thank you Lord that you desire to draw close to us. Thank you for wanting to do this journey with us by our sides and not from a distance. Thank for a love that is so enormous we can’t fully understand how deep or how wide it is.

In Ephesians 3:19, “May you experience the love of Christ, though it is too great to understand fully.” Paul encourages us to fully experience the love of Christ so Lord we ask that you show us new facets of your love daily. Lord as we seek to renew our minds and spirit, I pray we will continue to grow to know the vastness of your love. Thank you Lord for loving us first and pursuing us with an extravagant love. You truly are an amazing God. We stand in awe of who you are. We are so very thankful that you are the Lord of our lives.

We lift up all of this in Jesus name – AMEN

Peace of Mind Prayer

August 9, 2015 By Delonna Gibbs 2 Comments

Heavenly Father,

Today we lift up God Sized Dreamers like me who have been feeling the weight of living out the very dream you called them too. Lord I pray that they will lean into you more and seek the guidance of the Holy Spirit. I pray they will not pick up a burden that was never intended for them to handle. Lord we pray for anyone who is feeling overwhelmed and needs to feel an increase of your peace. We are standing on the promise Jesus said in John 14:27

I am leaving you with a gift – peace of mind and heart. And the peace I give isn’t like the peace the world gives. So don’t be troubled or afraid.

Thank you Jesus for the gift of the Holy Spirit. Thank you for your guidance and strength. Thank you Lord for the blessing of a peace of mind and heart. Thank you that I can lean on you and do not need to be afraid or troubled. Thank you for reminding us that YOU GOT THIS!

We ask all of this in Jesus name – AMEN

Hang in There Prayer

Oh Heavenly Father,

A few of us God Sized Dreamers are growing weary from our current battle. We are waiting on your timing Lord. Thank you Lord that we can stand on your promise in Philippians 1:6

⁶And I am certain that God, who began the good work within you, will continue his work until it is finally finished on the day when Christ Jesus returns.

We ask you Lord to increase our strength and endurance. Thank you Lord for teaching me how to be patient. Thank you God for the growth lessons that are going to work for our good. We lay our fears at your feet and wait patiently on you Lord.

We ask all of this in Jesus name – AMEN

In Love Prayer

July 5, 2015 By Delonna Gibbs Leave a Comment

Heavenly Father,

Thank you for being a true example of what love is. Thank you for choosing us first. In a world where people want us to concentrate on revenge, being self centered, prideful and full of anger, you have taught us to love first and ask questions later. Thank you Father for your unconditional love.

Lord we come before you and ask that you teach us how to love. Show us how to pour out your steadfast love in all that we do. For in 1 Corinthians 16:14 it says “Do everything in love.” Lord we ask for your guidance and wisdom. Holy Spirit continue to direct our steps and whisper in our ears ways to love to our friends, family and enemies. Lord we ask that our fears will not take root nor will it replace our desire to show your love. Lord let us be known for our love towards others.

We ask all of this in Jesus name – AMEN

Summer Prayer

June 14, 2015 By Delonna Gibbs Leave a Comment

Heavenly Father,

Thank you for the gift of summer days that secretly gives us permission to ease up on our routines and unwind a little. We seem to take more deep breaths and relax. We find time to get lost in the pages of a really good book. And if we are honest Lord, we often forget about spending time with you.

Lord we pray we will safeguard our time with you. We pray we will seek to find moments to look at your creation and stand in awe of the God we serve. We ask you to continue to give us restorative rest.

We ask all of this in Jesus name – AMEN

Mama in Waiting Prayer

May 10, 2015 By Delonna Gibbs 2 Comments

Oh Heavenly Father,

Today is an extremely hard day for the Mama’s in Waiting. We yearn to become a mama. We dream of having a house filled with children’s laughter. We long to have those little arms wrapped around our neck. We want to hear a child call us Mama. Yet today is not the day, so we ask that you will be with all of us who are not mothers. Remind us that we are loved beyond by measure by you. Help us to keep our eyes focused on you and not on our parental status.

We ask that you give strength to the woman who is trying to patiently wait on your timing to become a mama. Whether she is single like me, who is waiting for Mr. Wonderful to enter her world. Or if she is a woman who been battling infertility. Please send her a love letter today that reminds her how much you love her. Remind her of the stories of Hannah, Elizabeth and Sarah that you can change her barren womb to a fertile one. We are standing on the promise that you will draw closer to us like it says in Psalm 86:1 “Bend down and hear my prayer, O Lord, and answer me, for I am deep in trouble”. The waiting and yearning makes our heart break just a little more each day that passes by. We are starting to lose hope and wonder if you are hearing our prayers at all. Assure each woman that you have heard her cries and you are moving on her behalf.

We ask that you comfort the women who have had a miscarriage and who are still missing and desiring to know their heaven babies. God we ask that you wrap your loving arms around her and remind her that you bend down to hear her cries. Lord we ask that you be her comforter today. Holy Spirit we ask that you utter the words her heart can’t bear to say. We are claiming your promise in Romans 8:26 “Likewise the Spirit helps us in our weakness. For we do not know what to pray for as we ought, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words.”

Lord we ask that you be with every woman who is a Mama in Waiting. We ask all of this in Jesus Name – AMEN.
