Peggy’s Prayers

Do you pray for your doctors, specialists, and health care workers?  Peggy prayed for her Nutritionist.  "I am listening Lord.  Please speak and make clear & specific Your paths of help & especially from the Nutritionist.  Oh, Lord speak to and through him in a mighty way so he will go the second mile with me in helping me get well.  Make me a vessel fit for the Master's use this day.  I'll follow You!  Amen.

This was a difficult week for Peggy as she was facing surgery.  She prayed, "I give myself to You in total complete surrender.  Use me even in this surgery!  I listen to You.  Lead me to some soul who needs You and speak through me."  Amen.

Peggy believed people cared, but also knew they can also confuse.  She prayed, "Stop the confusion of voices all around me, who care but confuse.  Keep my mind & heart & ears turned into You & Your ways.  I plead Your precious blood for You died to make it so!"  Amen.

Remember God is Faithful!  He hears and answers our prayers.  Peggy prays, "Thank you Lord for hearing and answering prayer.  Thank you for the confidence You give - for Your Word to help us through, for the way you can get into our hearts & lives when we cant and I thank You for You - the greatest gift and the greatest Friend!!  Amen.

Peggy is honest before God pouring out her heart.  She prays, "Lord, I admit I am angry, hurt, and confused over lots of things. Please forgive me of all that is unlike You and heal me and make me whole."  It is ok to be honest before God today!

Find it difficult to praise God?  Peggy praise God for who He is and also for the daily blessings like ice cream.  "Praise You Lord for a day with Vern, my honey darling dear!  Praise You for letting us eat out and for the ice cream cone he brought me coming home."  

God knows what is best right?  Peggy knew this.  She prayed, "Oh, Jesus, I want You & Your way more than anything or anyone.  I listen to You for Your way & direction for me.  Please Lord Jesus, come, speak and use me this day.  Get me at the right place doing the right thing in the right way, writing & saying the right thing all for You, Lord Jesus - all for You!!!"  Amen.  If you have a prayer request or would like to receive a weekly email letter with Peggy's Prayers, you can go to peggysprayers.com

Peggy visited the doctor after having a slight stroke.  The doctor told her she was not to go back to teach.  This had to break Peggy's heart because teaching was an important part of her life.  The realization of not being able to finish the school year or teach again is reflected in Peggy's Prayers.  She prayed, "Oh Father, if I and indeed hearing You right You have brought me out of school by night (Doctor's orders), in haste and are telling me not to return.  What a burden lifted to know.  Confirm it Lord to my heart if that is Your will and way and give me the great release of knowing that I know Your perfect will.  Praise You for making Your way known and for the release and peace You can give to me.  Praise You for hearing and answering our prayer."  Amen.  We can trust God even in the midst of sickness, pain, and disappointments.

An important part of prayer is listening to God.  Peggy loved to listen to God as she prayed, "Speak to me and through me.  Lead me down the narrow path  to heaven.  Let me bring precious jewels along the pathway because You have me 100% to use.  Get me at the right place at the right time doing and saying and writing the right things in the right way for You & Your honor & glory.  Fall fresh on me this day and let me hear, Thus Saith the Lord."  Amen.

What is the greatest gift you can give to your children on their birthday?  For Peggy it was prayer!  She prayed, "Today is Paul's and Mom's birthday and I praise You for them and for Your great love.  Praise You for letting me be here and enjoy my time with them."  Amen.  As you are buying the cake and gift, lift up your children in prayer.  It is the greatest gift you can give.  If you have a prayer requests or would like to receive Peggy's prayer of the day please sign up at peggysprayers.com
