How to Write Your Own Personal Letter to the Lord Jesus Christ God Almighty Daily
Pause for prayer (sign after praying):
Lord, You are the One who empowers me as I begin writing to You. Remind me to lay my heart out to You daily, knowing that You hear and answer. I believe and trust that You will guide me and move me to where You want me to be. I thank You and I pray in Your name, Jesus Christ. So be it! Amen! Your servant forever, x________________________________
1. Date your entry.
This shows you the day of the entry. When the answers to your prayers come, you can look back and see how long it took and recall what you went through to get it answered.
2. Choose a greeting.
When you greet God, you're calling upon Him to hear you (i.e. Dear Lord, My God, etc.). Remember to always give God worthy names. For example, when you write a letter to a loved one, you address them accordingly (i.e. sweetheart, honey, darling, wonderful, precious, kind, etc.). When you add a specific name to a letter, you are personalizing that letter and letting Jesus know how you feel about Him.
3. List needs, wants, praises, other people, concerns, and thank yous. These are daily things You bring to the Lord. You will list these things on the side of your letter and then you can pull them in as you're writing.
4. Remind yourself of what God has already done for you.
This empowers you to remember that God works all things together for good for those who love Him and do His will. Reminding yourself of what God has already accomplished in your life will give you hope for the future. Examples: Successful surgery, sober child, getting through disappointment, healing a broken heart, etc.
5. Sign your letter.
You don't send a letter off without telling who it's from. When you sign your letter, you're giving God permission to do whatever He needs to do to accomplish what you're asking. Examples: With all my heart, Your child forever, With love, Your beloved, etc.
