Prayer of the Great Mystery

On By thinkcarebelieveIn PrayersLeave a comment

“Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective.” (James 5:16)

Father,

Thank you for this day and thank you for the gift of transformation that we are collectively experiencing. You’ve heard our prayers. Changes are here and we are looking at the world differently. “And whether you turn to the right or to the left, your ears will hear this command behind you: “This is the way. Walk in it.” (Isaiah 30:21) You give us the underlay for the land and our job is to prepare the land. We will continue to take down what doesn’t fit our glorious future and commit to lay a solid foundation for lasting peace throughout our beautiful world.

When we pray for others, we drop our thinking mind down into our heart, where you dwell, everyone and everything we think about are led to the healing presence of You, to be touched by you in the center of our being. To embrace our world and people in the great mystery that works without words. Here they are transformed also by Your own heart, one that is large enough for the entire Universe.

May we lay the groundwork for the future through our hearts that transform the world’s pain and sorrow, trauma and war, hunger and loneliness. May this blessed transformation occur not through great psychological or emotional capacity, but because Your great heart has become one with ours. May this blessed transformation occur as we pray for the best for eachother and our world as the Holy Spirit makes miracles happen in the great mystery of life.

Let it be so,

In humble gratitude,

Amen.

Prayer of Renewed Faith

On By thinkcarebelieveIn PrayersLeave a comment

Father,

Today we renew our faith. We open up to complete renewal of our reasons, our passions, our caring and our knowing. We stand in restored strength. Our footing is solid. “The goal of this command is love, which comes from a pure heart and a good conscience and a sincere faith.” (1 Timothy 1:5) If You love us so purely, then we can surely find some quiet moments to give love to ourselves during this incredible time of change. Whatever we are feeling we are missing, let it be restored today through you, Father.

Let us stir with greater compassion, greater love for one another. A strength in knowing who we are and where we came from. “But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God’s special possession, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light.” (1 Peter 2:9) Let we as a people emerge from the darkness as a united holy family, faith restored, faith renewed. We give gratitude for everything and every person on this journey that has brought us to this point right now. It gave us experience and information and it made us stronger. With that, we know that right now, everything is lined up perfectly, just as it should be. Our faith tells us that.

Bless us today. Allow us to connect inside where you dwell and hear you better. Allow us to be renewed daily. Allow us to flow with your love, always in your Light, so that we can serve you better.

Let it be so,

In Jesus’ name,

Amen.

Prayer for America

On By thinkcarebelieveIn PrayersLeave a comment

Heavenly Father

We come to you in petition to revive and restore the United States Of America and bring us back under Your own Sovereign rule.

We come to You to place the United States of America at Your feet, knowing that the constitution of this great country is based on moral principles derived by our great founders, based on Your Word. But Lord, although this is the land of the free and the home of the brave, sadly there is so much that is wrong with our country that we know there are changes in its future. We know many have walked away from You and discredited Your holy name by their conduct over the past years and integrity is lacking in our land.

Motivate our representatives to strive for honesty and wisdom in all choices and decisions, and may those that are entrusted as judges and lawmakers, likewise act in righteousness, impartiality and integrity as they work for the benefit of all people, in service, and to the honor of Your holy name.

Protect our great country from those that seem determined on destroying our nation. Send Your Spirit through the land of America, and touch the hearts of all those that are called to lead on behalf of The People. Convict those that are damaging our infrastructure and as a nation may we turn away from their wicked ways and return to You, in humility and truth. May we, as citizens rise up and take back our country’s honor and carry it to new life.

Father, we place our nation at your feet, and pray that we may once again rise from the ashes and serve You as a nation. May Your Will be done in the once greatest nation of the world, the United States of America.

We ask this in Jesus’ name,

Amen.

Prayer of Preparation

On By thinkcarebelieveIn PrayersLeave a comment

“A voice of one calling in the wilderness,
‘Prepare the way for the Lord,
make straight paths for him.

Every valley shall be filled in,
every mountain and hill made low.
The crooked roads shall become straight,
the rough ways smooth.

And all people will see God’s salvation.’”

-Luke 3:4-6

Lord, we are grateful for this day, given to us so graciously, for all of life is a pure gift. We choose to live life in gratitude, Father. To know, to speak, that all that I am, and all that I have is given to me through a gift of love, one to be celebrated each day in joy. When we make the conscious choice to be in, to speak in, to act, in gratitude instead of complaint, we uncover grace. “For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God—not by works, so that no one can boast.” (Ephesians 2:8-9)

For you want us to live our best life, Father. To live every moment wisely and with grace, always forward, always in the way of the heart. Living the life that we want to live is true freedom. It is a freedom that you give to us, once we free ourselves from the shackles of old limiting beliefs, a blank canvas on which to create the life we truly want.

Bless us this day, Father, as we prepare the way for new beginnings, as we cleanse ourselves and purify our intentions. Bless our loved ones that they may be freed to create their own best life also. Bless our country, may it be cleansed and renewed in all your glory. May we live by the tree of wisdom and make ourselves ready by removing the splinters of old lessons, one by one, cleanly, so we can heal and move forward in grace together, at your direction.

In Jesus’ name,

In Holy service,

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 Strength and Courage

On By thinkcarebelieveIn PrayersLeave a comment

Father,

Thank you for giving us the ability and the freedom to express ourselves. In this changing world, we want to be heard and you want us to free of oppression. “Let us break their chains and throw off their shackles.” (Psalm2:3) Our conscious participation is an important part of the changes that are before us because we are your children of Light. You want us to engage more prominently in the process because when we do, we infuse the darkness with Love, transforming it into clarity. We humbly accept the task you assign to us, Father, to continue to shine our light into the darkness of this world. “With him is strength and wisdom: the deceived and the deceiver are his.” (Job 12:16)

Bless our voices so that they always ring clear. Bless our hands so they may be put to thy use. Bless our minds, so that our conscious awareness makes effective strides. Bless our robust hearts so we may infuse Love into all we think, say and do. Help us withstand the uncovering of darkness. To give us the courage to stand strongly and fight for our future bravely. “He reveals the deep things of darkness, and brings deep shadows into light.” (Job 12:22)

Thank you, Father for giving us the strength and courage to continue. “But those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary,
they will walk and not be faint.” (Isaiah 40:31) Thank you for your promise of a better day for our families and loved ones so that we may take our place as the good stewards of this beautiful Earth, as you always intended us to be. “For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” (Jeremiah 29:11)

Let it be so,

In Jesus’ name,

Amen.

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 the Natural World

On By thinkcarebelieveIn Prayers, Wise WordsLeave a comment

Happy Summer Solstice!

Oh Holy One,

We give thanks and celebration for the intensity of life that is calling to us today. Your world is a myriad of beautiful things, all perfectly balanced. Our natural world, the Earth is reaching in to us through our shells and calling to us to come immerse ourselves in the pure perfection of its beauty. This is our real world which can only be achieved through your handiwork. We feel at home in nature, able to open up and saturate ourselves in the vitality and joyousness of the living breathing world. Being immersed there is the most natural thing we have felt in a long time. “How many are your works, Lord! In wisdom you made them all; the earth is full of your creatures. There is the sea, vast and spacious, teeming with creatures beyond number, living things both large and small.” (Psalm 104:24-25)

When we connect with our faith, and your love for us, we realize that the Earth is not out to harm us, the Earth is a loving mother with outstretched arms asking us to take our rightful place as her stewards, just as you intended. We release any fear of something being wrong with the Earth, and embrace the inner transformation that a strong connection with the Earth provides. When we feel at one with the natural world, everything that is right and holy just falls into place, all confusion abates and time seems to be on our side again. “He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in the human heart; yet no one can fathom what God has done from beginning to end.” (Ecclesiastes 3:11)

Bless us all this day, Father, may we all feel the joyousness of a strong connection to our loving Earth, and may we take up the vital force offered to us, with grace and ease. “Consider how the wild flowers grow. They do not labor or spin. Yet I tell you, not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these.” (Luke 12:27)

In gratitude and loving respect we pray,

In Jesus’ name,

Amen.

Prayer of Faith

On By thinkcarebelieveIn PrayersLeave a comment

Father, the dawning of a new day has come. We have been through much trial and tribulation. Through it all we’ve learned how to navigate uncharted territory that we’ve never seen before. We’ve done it mainly by surrendering control over to you. We’ve let go of old notions of how we thought things were, we faced our fears and looked our shadows in the eye. We’re seeing the darkness in our world, identifying who they are as they show themselves one by one, and we have come to the point where we must heed your words and pray for their souls, “But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you.” (Matthew 5:44) Although difficult to do, that is what we would want if we were in their shoes. Through all these challenges, Father, through the storm, we know that there is the promise of your rainbow.

Father we surrender to you because you are the Light that helps guide us through treacherous waters. With each step through, you point us to the next marker, and we continue-on having faith you will bring us through. “Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths.” (Proverbs 3:5-6) We need to keep the faith in knowing that you will make our path straight and you will guide us through. As we get through, more will follow in our wake, because we blazed the trail.

Because “Your word is a lamp for my feet, a light on my path.” (Psalm 119:105) We will transcend all darkness and keep going up. Bless us today through this journey and bless our love ones as they navigate their way also. Bless our Team, may we all swiftly accomplish goals while always being protected, renewed and restored. It is the preponderance of Light which grows every day that shows us we are winning.

Let it be so,

God is Victory,

Amen.

Prayer of the Protected Warrior

On By thinkcarebelieveIn PrayersLeave a comment

Father,

We welcome you into our lives and into our hearts. We carry the hope of the rainbow and the bright new day that dawns beyond the storm. Although difficult, we still need to be positive and carry the light now. In order to do that, we need to let go of our fears and insecurities. It’s never easy to be calm in a storm, but you have given us the strength to do so. By cleaning out and clearing out, we make room for our dreams. By letting go of old bothersome things, we are able to step forward with new understanding. Our world, created by You Father, seems to jump off the page and speak to us in so many ways that reassure and heal. We can then just simply step through the things that used to hang us up. We can move past falsities and into the realm of being in joy, doing what we were meant to do. To experience all of the best parts of life with gusto, and to brave new territory with courage.

Help us, Father, to move through all these challenges protected from any harm, as we protect ourselves from darkness by shining our light. “No weapon that is fashioned against you shall succeed, and you shall refute every tongue that rises against you in judgment. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord and their vindication from me, declares the Lord.” (Isaiah 54:17 )

Bless our day today, may we move forward strongly and with purpose. May Your Will be done as we carry it through. Protect each and every member of our teams, Father, surround them with light so that nothing befalls them. may we always be surrounded by your light, enhanced with our love and able to accomplish all his missions with swiftness and ease. May we always remember that we are your children and we are family, in loving support of eachother. “May he give you the desire of your heart
and make all your plans succeed.” (Psalm 20:4)

Let it be so,

God is Victory.

Amen.
