I remember when I returned to church as a prodigal, it was the most difficult decision I had to make, but I knew it was a step I had to take… I’ll never forget it was November 8, 1998.

Wow, I had no idea that I was on my way to the most thrilling journey of a lifetime! Everything didn’t happen overnight, but I kept taking baby steps, and I recall one day a lady in church introduced me to “Steps to Freedom in Christ,” by Neil Anderson. I was in a desperate situation, and so I gave it a try. From that moment on I was never the same again. I was set free from the spirit of suicide, and all other addictions were completely gone.

Not long after the Lord put on my heart the importance of prayer, here is one I wrote in 1999. There were many others, in fact hundreds of poetry and prayers I had penned, and as time went on, I saw my life drawing closer to the heart of God.. I pray this prayer will be a blessing to you .

Dear Abba Father,

Help me to accept whatever comes my way with an understanding heart and a willing, submissive spirit. May I not rebel against anything You have allowed, but may I be thankful in all things with the assurance You will work everything out for my good, be it bitter or sweet. May You cause this flame of fire to burn into a passionate blaze of desire for You. May I grow to know Your perfect will. so, I may continue to walk in the way You have planned for me. As I am being refined and refinished, may I know I’ll receive a great reward in the end, as You complete the work You started in my life. May I be patient and wait on You to guide each step. May I not step ahead of Your plan but walk along side of You as You take hold of my hand. Thank You, Father for Your love and patience You have for me. May I also show my love for You by waiting patiently for You to finish the work You’ve begun in me, so I may enjoy to the fullest the perfect plan You designed in Your perfect time. May my love continue to grow for You. In Jesus name, now and forever. Amen and Amen

When I look back, it is truly a miracle what He has done in my life, where He has brought me from to where I am today.

Love & blessings, everyone. Thank you for visiting my blog.
