What can we know?

Oh Heavenly Father you are truly great!
Please forgive us of our sins and help us to no longer sin against you.
You are magnificent in our eyes! Even now O’ Lord as we face our opposition, we know that you face them with us and before us.
See now Lord, how we will not waiver in the face of what we don’t understand. However, we do understand that you are still in control of all matter and all things true.
We must admit before your glorious nature that we don’t understand what is befalling us at times and it is a bit painful that we don’t see any relief even though we know of a surety that relief is here; help us to endure dear Father.
If I could ease the pain of my brothers and sisters, I would but I can’t. I can ask you to ease their pain and I do but then you already know the pain each of us experience and you also know of our desire to be released of it.
The enemy has and is attacking hard on all fronts as you know. Please guide us as to what we should do O’ Lord. We do this and realize we should have done that. We do that and realize we should have done this. We have come to realize that we just don’t know what to do Father; won’t you help us?
My mortal and ignorantly finite mind has asked that question but my spirit man truly know that all things before us is working toward our good to help and strengthen us to persevere.
I’ve looked at the word persevere and separated it to per severe and discover that one of the meaning to the word “per” is –thoroughly- while “severe” meant -much or extreme discomfort-. According to that description Father, We will persevere as we may go through extreme discomfort but it will certainly be no more than what you have went through for each one of us.
Help us to endure Father and strengthen our family spiritually so that they will become a help and not a hindrance to us who long to please you in every way of our lives.
Open up our family understanding completely that they might be an aid to us in this present world.
Strengthen the men completely so that we might continue to assume the proper role of the head of our household. Strengthen the shoulders of your men so that we will be able to bear the burden and load that we and our family must carry for your sake; not our sake but for your sake.
We remember how our children cried when the doctor puncture their skin with the needle of vaccination. We remember how the tears flooded the eye wells and poured down their face. We remember how their small eyes became big eyes of anxiety as they looked up at us for protection that they felt they were in need of and how they had a look of despair as if to say “I don’t understand why you are letting this strange person hurt me this way!”
Nonetheless, we knew what was needed for our little children as painful as it was and we also knew that the pain would soon go away after it accomplished what it was meant to do.
The vaccination was preventive medicine. If what we and our family are experiencing is a type of vaccination to prevent some spiritual disease or infection that is trying to destroy what you have planned for us (family included) then so be it for we trust you O’ Lord and you alone.
So even now Father we are comforted in knowing that because we know that you care for us in a much greater way than any mortal parent can; and for that we thank you and honor you. It is indeed our distinct pleasure to honor you this day and every day.
Meanwhile, we will continue to sing praises unto you. Our voice may crack and the melody may be off key due to the soreness of the spiritual vaccination but know this for sure dear Father, that our song and praise is sincere now and forever.
Amen

Thanks I really need this prayer. It was like you were talking for me.
To Father be the glory Robin.
Sometimes MyQween (Kim) and I sense that the prayers I send to Father for myself and others might bless our TBYT family.
The simple fact that others may be going through the same stuff we are can be very encouraging when we see how they handle it or how they are delivered.
Thank you for this awesome prayer. I felt “divine chills” and it was heartfelt. May God hear this prayer and bless each one of us bringing our words to pass.
Thank You ……thank you……that was wonderful. It was heartfelt and I was able to pray it easily as I read it out loud to our Lord Jesus Christ. We all have to realize that we already have all things we need, ie. provision, spiritual warfare, physical and emotional healings, etc. through Christ Jesus our Lord! If we stand in agreement we will send the enemy fleeing! Lets keep praying for one another. Thanks Again for the uplifting prayer.
Heavenly Father, I agree with the prayers here. Let us, as we were told in Your Word (Hebrews 12:1-2 KJV), keep our eyes fixed on the prize:
1 Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses,
let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us,
2Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith;
who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.
We are more than conquerors. Your precious Son has fought the battle — and won! The work is finished, and He sits beside you at your glorious right hand. Hallelujah.
Maranatha — Come Lord Jesus. Our hearts long for you.
Thank you. God has really used you. I recently was told that my job is over as of 6/30/10. The company is closing. I don’t know what my future holds, but I pray that God will use me in a big way for His glory. My husband is a wonderful man but has not wanted to take the position as head of the house. I’m praying for God to move on him mightily!
Thank you for your faithfulness. God bless you and pour out His Spirit on you even more and for His glory.

To God be the Glory, this prayer was just what I needed this morning. it was truly awesome. it was like you wrote out all of pains and trials that I’m going through at this very moment. God I thank you, I know it was all God.
May God continue to bless you and shower you with His Holy Spirit.To all who have prayed this pray be encourage, for the battle is the Lord’s have faith. Be encourage to wait on God He is always on time. Rememember that He is always with you don’t give up. Wait on the Lord.
Thank you for that prayer. With everything thing going on in my daily life right now I identified with our children getting vaccinations. Even though I knew I was doing the right thing for my child I cried as much as he did. I am getting my vaccinations right now…and HOLY SPIRIT I trust you.
Thank you for this prayer. I have to remind myself and others of this thought every day: “,,,you already know the pain each of us experience and you also know of our desire to be released of it.” As I heal from a bad fall and look forward to walking again I pray daily for myself and others who are experiencing pain.
