Prayer of Earthly Wonder

On By thinkcarebelieveIn PrayersLeave a comment

Oh the glories you make in our skies, Father. Utter earthshaking beauty realized in physical form. From morning sunrise artist pallet, to noonday bright blue grandeur, from vast arrays of cloudy sculpture, to dramatic sunsets of symphonic color. You’ve given us a true gift of wonder as the day ends and a whole different magnificent display begins as moon and stars dance through our night skies.

We know there is drama unfolding in our world right now. We see the chaos of dark idolatry unraveling. It’s not pretty and can be a bit concerning. But, we know you are firmly at the helm, Father, we know you are entirely capable of clearing out what is not in harmony with Your Love and Your Light and we are here to do our part. Make us ready. Give us strength as we witness the fall of old systems that have forsaken the covenant with the Lord their God. Guide us in all wisdom.

We stand in gratitude, in humble service for the miraculous changes taking place right now in our world. Thank you Father, for your everlasting love and your promise that we shall have Peace. Raise up and protect all who are being harmed, and raise them up in health and wholeness. We thank you for putting your hand to all this world in the transformation to the love and beauty and grandeur it was always intended to be.

So be it,

Amen.

Prayer of Proper Timing

On By thinkcarebelieveIn Wise WordsLeave a comment

Heavenly Father,

We welcome this day with appreciation, gratitude and humility knowing all things happen in their proper timing according to your Divine Will. “There is an appointed time for everything. And there is a time for every event under heaven.” (Ecclesiastes 3:1) Grant us the patience and the wisdom as we go through such things. Allow us the grace of syncing perfectly with your timing in order to serve in the best manner we possibly can. At the proper time, allow us to be your instrument.

“My thoughts are nothing like your thoughts,” says the LORD. “And my ways are far beyond anything you could imagine.” (Isaiah 55:8) We

may not fully understand what you are doing and why you are doing it, but we are steadfast with you, Father. May our world be cleansed of all anger, malice, hatred and evil that lurks in the darkness. May the Light shine brightly into all dark corners and crevices for all to see and may Your Light reign forever.

In this we humbly pray,

Amen

Prayer of the Tree

On By thinkcarebelieveIn PrayersLeave a comment

Father, we come to you in humble gratitude. Grateful for all that blesses us in our world. We come to you with eyes and ears open. Our hands are open, ready for service. We open ourselves to receiving The Light from you. You bless us this day and every day so that we may better serve you and effect positive change in our world. We are like a tree growing near a babbling stream of nourishing, peaceful waters. Our trunk grows strong, deeply rooted in our faith. Our branches grow strong, always reaching for the Light, bending against the winds of the storm, but not breaking. We never need to worry in times of drought because you always provide, you always do. We are nourished in the ever-flowing life-force energy of Your Love. Always.

“He will be like a tree firmly planted by streams of water,
Which yields its fruit in its season
And its leaf does not wither;
And in whatever he does, he prospers.”

-Psalm 1:3

We pray for all those who grew up never knowing Your Light, because they are much less able to recognize it in order to want to receive it. We ask that you fill their hearts with Love and wash their Souls with healing. Open them up to the gifts that are available to them in the goodness of this world. May they be lifted into your hands.

“But as for me, I am like a green olive tree in the house of God;
I trust in the lovingkindness of God forever and ever.”

-Psalm 52:8

Amen.

Let it be so,

God is Victory.

Prayer of Becoming Unstuck

On By thinkcarebelieveIn PrayersLeave a comment

Father,

As we come through this dark time, we are tearing away old outgrown thoughts, emotions and ideas. We realize that all that pain, anger and bitterness is not who we are and not where we want to be anymore, individually or as a people. All that painful stuff is being flooded with light now and in the light, we just cannot hold onto those dense thoughts and emotions anymore. They just can’t stick around for any length of time. We’re looking at the pain differently now, and that is a miracle of healing Father. This

is a brightening. Because, as a collective, we are ready and determined to make changes that once and for all changes the problem.

“Each heart knows its own bitterness, and no one else can share its joy.” (Proverbs 14:10)

“Get rid of all bitterness, rage and anger, brawling and slander, along with every form of malice.” (Ephesians 4:31)

The voice of reason is stronger now, and supported by The Light. It speaks to us loudly. We are finally coming around to what we really must deal with and clean out, in order to heal and move past. Let our work be of service to others who are searching for Light in the midst of darkness. May our strength always be grounded in our faith. “Praise be to the Lord, for he has heard my cry for mercy. The Lord is my strength and my shield; my heart trusts in him, and he helps me.” (Psalm 23:6-7)

Bless us today Father. Bless our journey toward the Light. Bless all those who are struggling. Lift us up out of the mire. Open our hearts so that we may fully receive the love and healing that is ours. May we always be of service in all ways possible.

In Jesus’ name we pray,

Amen.

Prayer of Self Nourishment

On By thinkcarebelieveIn PrayersLeave a comment

Father,

We sit in gratitude this morning for all you have made in this world. A world that is in the process of changing. We can’t help but notice, Father, that we are changing too. That as more and more darkness is exposed to the Light, we become grateful for the very gift of life give us by you. These bodies are a bio-engineering miracle, given to us by you to use while we are here. Our Soul which brings this body to life, that guides our experience out of the Love that we are. “I will give thanks to you because I have been so amazingly and miraculously made. Your works are miraculous, and my soul is fully aware of this.” (Psalm139) We don’t always treat our bodies with the best care, and we don’t always listen to the wisdom of our Soul, please forgive us for that. “For no one has ever hated his own body, but he nourishes and tenderly cares for it, as the Messiah does the church.” (Ephesians 5:29)

Right now, we come back to reset those priorities of remembering to love and appreciate ourselves first before we do anything else. To fill our own gas tank up to full first. To put on our own oxygen mask, before helping the person next to us. As you have told us, this is so important because, whenever we are feeling lacking or resentful, it’s because we need to remember to take the time for ourselves and give love to ourselves in gratitude and humility of everything you have so lovingly given to us. We can feel it flowing through us again, spilling outward to others. When we nourish ourselves with loving thoughts, we don’t deplete, and that is the key to the lesson you beckon us to learn.

Your amazing Love for us overwhelms and changes the very fabric of our lives. When we stop and give time to solitude with you, it amplifies every ounce of love that we have given to ourselves which strengthens our health and helps us maintain balance as we encounter life’s challenges. “Such love has no fear, because perfect love expels all fear. If we are afraid, it is for fear of punishment, and this shows that we have not fully experienced His perfect love.” (1 John 4:18)

Let it be so,
Amen.

Prayer of Purpose

Father,

Thank you for the blessing of this day. Thank you for providing us with the opportunity to be more of ourselves in this changing world. To be your unconditional love flowing through us to the world. We release any resistance to being the clear, pure love of purpose that cannot be swayed. We will do this, guided by you. “The LORD will guide you always; he will satisfy your needs in a sun-scorched land and will strengthen your frame. You will be like a well-watered garden, like a spring whose waters never fail.” (Isaiah 58:11) There are many conflicts in this world as the old leaves. You want to remind us to choose the positive, the light in all ways. Choose to see it, choose to express it and choose to feel it. We thank you for all the good in our lives, for our gardens to be lush and plentiful. We thank you for the opportunity to serve you however you deem fit.

Bless our world today. Bless our Team and tribes, may we all know the ease with which you can flow in our lives. May our work be protected and effective in everything we pursue.

Come into our hearts, come into our lives. May your light flow through us as the life-blood that pumps through our veins. Keep us, your children protected and in good health always. “Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things.” (Philippians 4:8) We will keep all things loving close to our hearts today and we will be the unconditional love that you created us to be.

So be it,

Amen.
