The Knots of Prayer
Author Unknown 

Dear God:
Please unite the knots
that are in my mind,
my heart and my life.
Remove the have nots,
the can nots and the do nots
that I have in my mind.

Erase the will nots,
may nots, and might nots
that may find
a home in my heart.

Release me from the could nots,
would nots
and should nots that obstruct my life.

And most of all,
Dear God,

I ask that you remove from my mind,
my heart and my life all the 'am nots'
that I have allowed to hold me back,
especially the thought
that I am not good enough.

Please, I ask that You
Replace the "am nots" with:
I am strong.
I am valuable.
I am loveable.
I am good enough
Because "I am".

Amen

Daily I need reminders to move forward. Daily I need encouragement to keep being me. Daily I need motivation. Zig Zigler received the complaint that motivation doesn't last. He agreed and said, "People often say that motivation doesn't last. Well, neither does bathing that's why we recommend it daily."  God recommends praying everyday.  1 Thessalonians 5:17 "Pray without ceasing."  My faith in God with Christ as my redeemer encourages me to keep moving forward when I loose faith in myself.  I know that the challenges I face and over come are the experiences that teach me that I am strong, valuable, loveable, and good enough.

Luke 11:1-10

1 And it came to pass, that, as he was praying in a certain place, when he ceased, one of his disciples said unto him, Lord, teach us to pray, as John also taught his disciples.

2 And he said unto them, When ye pray, say, Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done, as in heaven, so in earth.

3 Give us day by day our daily bread.

4 And forgive us our sins; for we also forgive every one that is indebted to us. And lead us not into temptation; but deliver us from evil.

5 And he said unto them, Which of you shall have a friend, and shall go unto him at midnight, and say unto him, Friend, lend me three loaves;

6 For a friend of mine in his journey is come to me, and I have nothing to set before him?

7 And he from within shall answer and say, Trouble me not: the door is now shut, and my children are with me in bed; I cannot rise and give thee.

8 I say unto you, Though he will not rise and give him, because he is his friend, yet because of his importunity he will rise and give him as many as he needeth.

9 And I say unto you, Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you.
10 For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.
