God, i am so happy - it's finally clicked - i finally understand. i've been asking You for abundant life all this time, pleading with You for it, and now You have told me through the encouragement of a friend that You already gave it to me. Not that my life before was abundant, but that i just did not know how to utilize Your gift of abundant life - in other words, in a way, one has to choose the abundant life in that he must choose to think only beneficial thoughts, choose not to listen to the lies of satan. God, You know that i struggle with certain thoughts; therefore, please help me to choose not to think about them when satan sends a doubt or a lie into my mind. i am free to choose what i want to, and satan is defeated.
thank You for my friends who prayed with me last night. i was wondering why You thought i needed such encouragement since the last two days had gone so well, but i think You wanted me to just go from good to better, and i'll take that any day. i also know that You want me to go from better to best and that this is Your will for all Your children.
please heal H and allow her to keep her good attitude as well. may she grow in You and go from better to best. open the eyes of B and cause him to overflow with love for the brethren. give N rest and may she trust You; i pray the same for P. may the man who raped E's cousin get out of her life. help my cousins to walk in You. may S find the abundant life. heal W's heart. bless the efforts of the brethren in Romania - may the renewal of hearts keep happening there and spread through all of Europe and to other places, too. may the rebelution be a good thing, and may You use it to revive godly passions in Romania. send L a mission that he will accomplish; i pray the same for M. may my relationships keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. may C and G see that they have more children than women who bore children physically and may they rejoice. give G confidance and C good health in every way. protect my family. may J see herself through Your eyes. Bless O and A. help Y to know the importance of prayer. because You say that those who trust in You will never be put to shame, take away the knight's shame, and replace it with boldness for You.
because You live in my heart, may i think good thoughts.
and may we all go from good to better and from better to best.
love You, God.

You must be well-known to the Lord because of your prayers. It is a good example for me to follow. I hope that the Lord reveals to you more and more Who and What He Is. Thanks for the message on facebook - for some reason the site prevents me from accepting your request or responding to your message. I think what you said is a good idea. You can pray for me - this semester off has left me with a lot of ideas for the future but not a lot of actual accomplisment to show for it. Pray that I can submit my plans to the Lord so that they may prosper. Thanks!
