Dear God,

Thank you very much for this beautiful day!

It is a great morning.

Thank You for keeping my daughter and her family safe on the road yesterday and last night.

They arrived in Portsmouth safe and sound.

That was a great picture my daughter sent me this morning.

I pray that You will bless them today on their house hunting and the results.

I also want to thank You for the interview that she will have on Tuesday.

Thank You for giving my wife that creative mind to make and finish the Dollar Tree project yesterday.

That is beautiful!

Lots of work, all from You.

I pray that You please forgive me for my sins.

I want to help people so that they will be able to succeed and thrive.

I have already hit the goals that I set.

I want to enjoy other’s success.

I know it will be easy for my family, but at the same time, it will be hard for my colleagues at work.

Please help me when this happens.

As I said before, I want my journal to help people, not to make me famous.

In Jesus name!

Amen

Lord,
Please forgive me for my sins.
Please forgive me for everything that I have done against you.
I do not deserve any of your blessings.
Thank You for giving me another day to live.
I thank You for my wonderful family.
Please take care of them.
I pray that You will care for my daughter and her family during their trip to Virginia.
If it is in your will, they will find a place to live, and she will be able to find a good job.
I pray that you will open my son-in-law’s heart to go to school and continue his education.
I thank You, Lord, for taking care of the house and us during the storm yesterday.
I pay for everyone’s safety.
In Jesus name,
Amen

Lord,

Thank You for the experience and the blessings that You gave my wife and me during our trip to the beach on Friday Night. 

It was a great time and very exciting when my wife caught her first fish, and we almost had a crab. 

Thank You, Lord, for clearing my mind and giving me peace at the beach. 

I pray that the peace You gave me will last forever. 

Thank You, Lord, for the decision to work with Atlas. 

There are so many things that I need to try first before I surrender to my previous life, which, in my mind, I refuse to do. 

Lord, I promise to put all my effort toward you, my family, my book, my business, and my writings. 

If there are other items I should be putting effort into, please open my eyes and heart to show me.

In Jesus name, 

Amen

Dear Lord,

Today is the 5th anniversary of the business,

I want to thank You for your blessings on the business, which has survived for this long.

Yes, it hasn’t been that successful like many other startups,

but we have had a few clients in the past few years.

I pray that your blessings on the business will be prosperous during 2023-2024.

Lord, I pray that You forgive me for my action on Sunday with the other driver in front of Orlando’s.

This isn’t the way that a child of God should behave.

Also, I pray for forgiveness for the other sins that I did.

I also pray for a resolution with the gun purchase, bank, and seeking a second job.

Lord, this gun is not essential; it removes the red flag.

Regarding the bank, I want to continue what I am doing by making deposits and transfers when necessary.

My goal is to pay off that visa and close my accounts.

Regarding the second job, if it is in Your will, I will take it. If not, I will concentrate on my writing and the business.

Lord, please guide me on what You would like me to do.

My heart and mind are open!

Please bless my family and take care of my daughter and family during their camping trip.

In Jesus name, I pray,

Amen

Dear Lord,

Thank You for talking to Atlas and Adapt Forward on Monday.

Even if there are no results or job offers from either company, I am thrilled and excited about the interviews.

Thank You for getting rid of my headache.

Thank You for the beautiful weekend.

I pray that You will keep my mind at peace.

Whatever happens, happens.

I also pray that the “A Writer and a Doctor” journal blog helps someone out there.

That will be awesome!

I pray that I will be able to get a new journal soon.

I like the one that I am using now.

I pray for Your blessings on my family and friends and all those who need Your help,

In Jesus name,

Amen.

Our Father,

I thank you for giving me another day to live.

I did wake up feeling a little dizzy.

However, I know that I am good to go.

I pray for the people in the accident around the circle.

Please forgive me for making fun of them and “yelling” at someone who wouldn’t turn right.

Thank You, Lord, for getting my daughter and her family safe home on Wednesday.

I pray that my granddaughter will have a great speech class this morning.

I pray that I will find things to do to keep me busy throughout the day instead of sitting around and being bored.

I know that my wife doesn’t like it.

If a second job is in the future, I will be there.

I will also work on my writing.

I pray that you please forgive me for my sins.

I pray I will stop everything I have been doing against You.

Thank You for my and my wife’s story about the “Cyborg and the Furry Animals” – haha!!

It was great creating something together.

Also, thanks to my daughter for taking a look at it.

I appreciate all of the blessings that You have given me!

In Jesus name,

Amen.

Lord,

I am going to dedicate my time to the business.

Whatever happens, happens.

As I mentioned in the entry yesterday, one of the reasons why the business is not succeeding or thriving is because I am not dedicating enough time to it.

Lord, Please do not take away the house or my wife because of my sins.

I pray for your forgiveness.

I am the only one that deserves to be punished.

Not my wife,

She has nothing to do with this.

Thank You, Lord, for everything.

For all of your blessings.

For Your forgiveness.

Your blessings and Your salvation.

In Jesus name,

Amen

Heavenly Father,

I am learning a lot by reading “Creativity Inc.” by Ed Catmull.

It has opened my mind to ideas I can implement in our business.

Sometimes, I think the business is not flourishing because I am not putting in enough effort.

Sometimes, I think it is not flourishing because of the “road blocked” that You set.

Only You know, but please show me!

I still have an interest in making the business better.

I realize I need to be more organized and not try to do “a hundred” things simultaneously.

I need to relax, have an open mind, slow down, and let things happen.

Thank You, Lord, for my wife helping me with the “Summer Battle.”

It was enjoyable.

Thanks to Alex for taking a look, also.

Lord, I pray that You keep the emotions away that nobody cares, I am left out, nobody likes me, etc.

Everybody has a job to do or a project to run.

I know it is terrible on my part to think evil thoughts because I am not a leader or a significant amount of the decision-making process.

I have my part and will do my part to the best of my ability.

Thank You, Lord, for this beautiful day and this home with a back porch!

In Jesus name!

Amen

Dear Lord,

Please forgive me for my sins against You and my family.

I pray that You will please forgive me and clean me.

I pray that You will come into my heart and save me!!

I have asked several times before for salvation. I know that You have taken care of me.

However, I keep messing up!

Please change my life forever!

Get rid of these thoughts of being wealthy, successful, better than anyone, etc.

I want to help everyone.

I pray that my writings will help out at least one person.

That is what I want,

someone to read the writings and then come to You for love, help, guidance, and especially salvation.

That will be great.

In Jesus name,

Amen

Lord,

Sometimes, I want to quit everything.

I want to walk away from it all.

My job, my business, my writings, my doctor’s degree.

Sometimes, I wonder why I got a doctorate or started a business when nothing worked.

I keep hearing that life will improve and you will get more respect when you get a doctor’s degree.

Well, it is not happening here!

Sometimes, my life has worsened since the degree and the business.

I want to give up on it all.

Am I just feeling sorry for myself?

Sometimes I feel like I don’t deserve anything!

God, I need your help!

I am ready to withdraw and keep my mouth shut.

Have I tried everything?

Maybe it seems like it.

However, if there are avenues, please show me.

Just let me know.

I am giving up on myself and helping others for my time here.

In Jesus name,

Amen
