Prayer of Our Greatest Now

On By thinkcarebelieveIn PrayersLeave a comment

Father,

You are in everything , and it is time for everything to rise. You are the lamp to our feet that alights everything so the path is made clear. You shine on what is murky and bring it to clarity. Come into our world. May the peace of your hand be waved across the lands. “He will turn the hearts of the parents to their children, and the hearts of the children to their parents; or else I will come and strike the land with total destruction.” (Malachi 4:6)

Come into our hearts, come into our minds. Shine on us, on our families that have been torn apart and suffered so. Shine into where there is war and bring peace. Comfort the children who are traumatized and scared. Clear the corruption that held our world in its grasp and release the compassion of Humanity’s greatest actions. “And he will go on before the Lord in the spirit and power of Elijah, to turn the hearts of the fathers to their children and the disobedient to the wisdom of the righteous–to make ready a people prepared for the Lord.” (Luke 1:17)

Please Father, release the freedom fighters and peacemakers who have been hampered and taken captive. Give them their freedom for this new day. Brighten the Light in everything. As the Light brightens, may it clear out all negative forces in our midst and transforms it into blessings. You are The Great Transformer. You are The Ultimate Miracle Maker. Lift us up to transcend the shadows as they evaporate because they cannot exist in this much light. Raise us to greater truth and greater meaning, purging the heaviness of yesterday and allowing us to be the shining embodiment of Our Greatest Now.

In humble gratitude,

In the name of The King,

Amen.

Prayer of Miraculous Ways

On By thinkcarebelieveIn PrayersLeave a comment

Father,

There’s a lot happening in the world right now. Many things are certainly up in the air. We have to be reminded that they are up in the air because You are at work in our world and You are doing a new thing. You are dismantling and re-engineering at the same time. We are here to serve because we know you make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert. Be merciful to us who carry Your Light. “in the shadow of your wings I will take refuge, until the destroying storms pass by.” (Psalm 57) You will put to shame those who seek to distort truth to take advantage of the meek and the weak.

Bless each of us Father. Bless our loved ones and families. Help us remember we are one human family, sharing something very special in our coding and that is the divine spark that is You. Help us to be the love that you are in every aspect of life and all that we touch. Come into our communications and interactions with one another. Lift our work and creations off the flat page and give them dimension and life so that they soar above the morass to be beacons that inspire our fellow man. “Do not neglect to do good and to share what you have, for such sacrifices are pleasing to God.” (Hebrews 13:16)

Help us Father, to rise to our best life. As you transform darkness, let us be the beacons that shine forth for Your miracles in this world to take place. You have miraculous ways, and we are your benefactors. Let there be heaven on Earth.

In the name of The King,

Amen.

Prayer of Greater Living

On By thinkcarebelieveIn PrayersLeave a comment

We believe, Father, that you are actively at work in our world. We believe that you are a God that is actively at work here among us. As we choose to connect with Your Love, our reality opens up in inspiring new ways. We then can see the presence of Your Love at work in our world. Our world is meant to be viewed keeping You in our minds and hearts, and when we do, we see it. The greatest of all reality is the presence of You in our world. You are the core reality from which all things derive its reality. What isn’t real, what isn’t Love, does not belong to You, and doesn’t belong here.

So much suffering because so many of us have forgotten that we are made of Your Love and that we are One Family. Help us, Father, as the family that we are, to see and live in the reality that You are at work in our world and it is becoming a brighter, more loving place. Out of our greatest sorrows, we find true love of being here together, sharing this experience that is miraculously turning into greater living. So much potential blooms when our Souls recognize this reality.

As Your Godly crystalline Light shines, You flood our world with Love. That beautiful Light is You holding out Your Hand to us, sending a thousand gossamer Angels sliding down sun beams to come and embrace us to mend broken hearts. This reality Father, is the one we choose. The one of life, of love, of joy, creativity and growth. “He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds.” (Psalm 147:3)

In humble service,

Amen.

Prayer of Creating Peace

On By thinkcarebelieveIn Prayers, Wise WordsLeave a comment

Father,

To be a peacemaker, we need to start at home, within ourselves. How can we be much help to the world if we cannot feel peaceful inside. This is the great secret you want us to know, Father. An important key that your wonderful son came to this world to teach us. A peaceful world begins when we loosen our grasp on our resentments, our anger, our disappointments, our frustrations and grief. We make lists of them and pile them up waiting for the day when we will be vindicated, that someone will finally declare us right. Our bitterness eats away at our ability to truly live. The retribution we are looking for comes when have become the fulfillment of that Love that You created us to be. The Love that Your Son came to show us how to be.

You want us to know that we have to let go of every thought and feeling that divides us and keeps us separated and find a reconciliation within ourselves. To be able to be a real peacemaker, it is the peace within ourselves that becomes a source of peace for all we meet. “So if you are offering your gift at the altar and there remember that your brother has something against you, leave your gift there before the altar. First go and be reconciled to your brother; then come and offer your gift.” (Matthew 5:23-24)

Father we ask that you bring us miraculous solutions. We ask that the world rise up from the fighting and warring and realize that we are the love that you created us to be. To really feel that love inside of us and to be nothing but that love. “Guide me in your truth and teach me, for you are God my Savior, and my hope is in you all day long.” (Psalm 25:5)

In Peace,

As Love,

Amen.

Prayer of God’s Power

On By thinkcarebelieveIn PrayersLeave a comment

Father,

Bringing about change in the world, sometimes isn’t pretty. Old systems of corruption cannot withstand the weight of what they’ve done. We’ve read about it many times in the Bible. When you’ve made a decision to take a corrupt system down, you do it. “Oh, that you would rend the heavens and come down, that the mountains would tremble before you!” (Isaiah 64:1)

We will never underestimate your power and your might. Nor the majesty of the tremendous love you have for your children. “And straightway coming up out of the water, he saw the heavens opened, and the Spirit like a dove descending upon him” (Mark 1:10) Help us, Father. Pour down your love on us, your Children of Light. Help us find our path, help us remember who we truly are as your children. Dispel the darkness and raise us up in the Light. Lift us in your arms and bring Peace that is so needed to this World.

In humble gratitude,

In the Holy Light,

In the Name of Jesus,

Amen.

Prayer of Lovingkindness

On By thinkcarebelieveIn PrayersLeave a comment

Father,

You’ve given us another gift, another day to experience the love that you have in store for us in the form of experiences. Thank you for working in our lives to make changes for the better. Thank you for turning up our Light inside of us, just when we need it the most. Thank you for being present in our world in a myriad of ways that we cannot always comprehend. Thank you for loving us so much and being our rock and our foundation. “‘Though the mountains be shaken and the hills be removed, yet my unfailing love for you will not be shaken nor my covenant of peace be removed,’ says the LORD, who has compassion on you.” (Isaiah 54:10)

Even if we cannot see you at work in our lives, you are there. When it seems like darkness has taken over all there is, you give us the strength to jump up and reach up for the higher branch on the tree of life and thus we keep climbing upward. You are the humming life force that flows within us. You are the intelligence that weaves the common thread of decency throughout humanity. You are the light that lifts us up. “Is not my house right with God? For He has established with me an everlasting covenant, ordered and secured in every part. Will He not bring about my full salvation and my every desire?” (2Samuel 23:5)

When things in the world get stressful, Father, let us be kindness in the world. When the moment comes that we are given a choice, whether to put more love into the positive column or to add anger and resentment to the negative column, help us choose to be the Light and do the positive thing. Help us be Your Love in action today. There’s already so much negative. Help us be more loving, more forgiving so that we can have a peaceful loving planet for the future of our children and grandchildren. “Nevertheless my lovingkindness will I not utterly take from him, nor suffer my faithfulness to fail…” (Psalm 89:33-34)

In Lovingkindness,

In Service to the Light,

In the name of Jesus,

Amen.

Prayer of Taking a Stand

On By thinkcarebelieveIn PrayersLeave a comment

Father,

There are times when we must take a stand in our ability to challenge those who claim authority over and above that which is apportioned by You. It is your claim, Father. Your authority over us, as the one who made us, surpasses all. Your light is shining everywhere now. And where the spotlight is hitting, things that aren’t in line with your highest purpose of love and truth are getting mighty uncomfortable. As dark self-appointed authority gnashes its teeth, it may push fear buttons within us. We cannot avoid confronting our worst fears and insecurities in order to befriend whatever is blocking our buoyancy and holding us down from rising up. We must stand in the brightest light now, and in order to do that, we must make friends with the parts of our own selves that for some reason or another, we’d rather keep hidden. “Likewise the Spirit helps us in our weakness. For we do not know what to pray for as we ought, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words.” (Romans 8:26)

When it comes to the dark, your son Jesus, is a radical. He turned over the tables of the money-changers and then took a stand against self-appointed authority. For the good of all, he made it known that Your authority trumps Caesar’s. We empty ourselves completely of all that is keeping us from taking a stand for what is good and what is right. Because we know You love every bit of us, every part, no matter what, we can stand in the light, with You, freely as open books. “And he who searches our hearts knows the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for God’s people in accordance with the will of God.” Romans 8:27)

We hold to hope, Father. We just do. We know You are guiding this and we know You are at work doing the miraculous. “And the God of all grace, who called you to his eternal glory in Christ, after you have suffered a little while, will himself restore you and make you strong, firm and steadfast.” (1Peter 5:10) Bless all your warriors of the Light. Bless us all. Amen.

Prayer of New Heights

On By thinkcarebelieveIn PrayersLeave a comment

Thank you, Father for reminding us to be love in all things. Thank you for reminding us to come to you with our humble requests, as well as our cares and worries. You encourage us to drop them at your feet as you remind us that life is what we make of it. Do we want to spend our time here learning new things and challenging ourselves to reach greater goals? Do we want to go through a process of transformation that brings out our greatest qualities? Do we seek inspiration to create great works of art that inspire someone else to do the same. Do we want to create masterpieces of every kind imaginable that touch the human heart and stir the soul. “Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.” (Philippians 4:6)

Bless us today in all we do. Help us rise to new heights and expand to greater knowingness. Aid us in honing our skills and knowing when to use them. Give us the courage to give you all that makes us heavy and weighs us down to recraft our lives in ways that make you smile and shine your Light. Help us, Father, reach to new heights that give us joy. Put us on a trajectory that pushes humanity upward and gives us hope. “My fruit is better than gold, pure gold, and my harvest surpasses choice silver. I walk in the way of righteousness, along the paths of justice, bestowing wealth on those who love me and making their treasuries full.” (Proverbs 8:19-21)

Thank you Father, for lifting us up out of the muck and mire, for taking the lid off so that we can soar to new heights, and thank you for the gifts of peace and freedom in the world. You want us to remember how much you dearly love us, you want us to never fall into despair, ever again. This is the divinity with which we were so lovingly encoded, by your hand, with your heart. And in that, we humbly rise, side by side and shoulder to shoulder, to new heights. Amen.

Prayer of Better Choices

On By thinkcarebelieveIn PrayersLeave a comment

Father,
We greet the day today full of the potential of the moment. No matter what we are hearing about the world, every moment carries the possibility of big change within itself, a seed of the beginning of something wonderful and different. Forgive us Father for when we get disheartened, and become resentful and expect the worst. Realizing the power we have in our choices makes us even more alert to the possibilities around us. That allows us to grasp control out of the hands of hopelessness. We have a truer vision of the world and our relationship to time and eternity. Time, as we used to think of it, becomes transparent. In every moment, you give us the gift of steering toward better life through better choices. You bless us every day with more Light and different options.

Our days come alive, Father, with the awareness of all the choices, so that every new day becomes a blank canvas on which to create. This is a beautiful gift. A stunning array of colors with which to create a new masterpiece every day. The gift of creating a Life we truly want to live. One that allows us to experience more joy and peace and whatever else we want in our daily life. “and He has filled him with the Spirit of God, in wisdom and understanding, in knowledge and all manner of workmanship, to design artistic works, to work in gold and silver and bronze, in cutting jewels for setting, in carving wood, and to work in all manner of artistic workmanship.” (Exodus 35:31-33)

Bless us this day, Father, so we may create a work that is worthy of You. Give us the tools and resources in abundance. We ask that you give us the ability to recognize the opportunities you set before us. May all our choices and creations reflect your everlasting unconditional love for us and may we be ever mindful of that love inside ourselves. “I can do all things through Him who strengthens me.” (Philippians 4:13)

In humble service,

Let it be so,

Amen.
