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 for the Light of Truth

On By thinkcarebelieveIn truthLeave a comment

Father, we greet this day, ready to serve and take part in the amazing transformation that is occurring in our world. We are here for your use, Father, if nothing more than to bear witness to all that is taking place according to your divine plan. As we look at things, and apply our thinking, feeling, conscious awareness, our understanding of the truth creates Light. We understand that Light exists in your creation of the natural world, but we also create it when we engage with our world in positive ways. “for the fruit of light is found in all that is good and right and true.” (Ephesians 5:9)

As more Light is created, as more Light circulates, all that operates in darkness is exposed. It crumbles because it cannot exist in the Light. It does not have the capacity to sustain itself. And so we shine, for you, for us, for our loved ones, for our world. Thank you Father for this

amazing opportunity to be here now, for choosing us to be your Light Warriors, your Prayer Warriors, your Healers and your Leaders. We are your army unleashing Love into our country, and into our planet.

Blessed is hE who unleashes Light and Truth to the world. “He reveals deep and hidden things; he knows what is in the darkness, and the light dwells with him.” (Daniel 2:22) May the Light of Truth rise to the surface, for all to see. Let the Bell of Truth ring out.

In humble service,

In Jesus’ name,

Amen

Prayer of Many Blessings

On By thinkcarebelieveIn PrayersLeave a comment

Father,

We come to you in gratitude for all the things you provide for us in our lives. All the things that we appreciate and all the things that we take for granted. We are so blessed. “And this same God who takes care of me will supply all your needs from his glorious riches, which have been given to us in Christ Jesus.” (Philippians 4:19) These good things in our lives are truly gifts, and sometimes it’s not just the big things, but the little things that endear our hearts the most. You are the Master of Unconditional Love. We embrace the kind of Soul Love that touches us deep inside, the kind of love that reminds us that we are unique and valued. By consciously focusing on the this kind of Love right now, Father, and appreciating it, we are inviting more into our lives.

Thank you for sending your son, our brother Jesus, to show us how to love life more dearly. “Give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.” (1 Thessalonians 5:18) Thank you for the people in our lives and all the good things they bring. As we step through the changes in the world right now, we set our eyes on the future you have planned for us. We can feel the many blessings you have in store for us and are eternally grateful for each and every one. As truth flows more and more abundantly, so will all the resources we need. They will flow like water.

“And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.” (Colossians 3:17) Thank you Father for every loving thing you do for us, your children. Thank you for all the many blessings in our lives. We humbly thank you for all these many gifts, that allow us to thrive and continue on our journey and our work.

In Christ’s name,

In loving service,

Amen

Garden of God (a poem)

by thinkcarebelieve

~

All happiness and joy when flame draws near,

Gone is the baggage, gone is fear.

~

Cleaned out dross, a cleanly cup,

Elixir of joy to drink up.

~

Growing daily beautiful and strong,

Room for dreams now, the future won’t be long.

~

Sweet song plays and gets even hotter,

Deeply rooted in abundant water.

~

A shower of respect, admiration and Love,

Nourishing the tree that is home to the Dove.

“Because I made this tree so beautiful,
and gave it such magnificent foliage,
it was the envy of all the other trees of Eden,
the garden of God.”

-Ezekiel 31:9

Prayer of Living Room

On By thinkcarebelieveIn PrayersLeave a comment

Father,

There are times when we want to live our best life, but feel weighted down by concerns. Old worries and fears keep us from becoming more of who we really are in order to live a fuller life. What you are telling us is to make room in our lives, to let go of as much as we can, in order to make room for actual living. There may be things we’ve outgrown, things that are now just taking up space and keep us from moving freely. That includes letting go of everything that no longer brings us joy, including old pain, grudges and worries. You want us to to make room to really live. To be able to expand into life and live more freely, interacting with your gift of life in a more consciously aware manner. To make room for our dreams to take shape and materialize in physical life.

“Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a worker who has no need to be ashamed, rightly handling the word of truth.” (2Tim 2:15) You want us to let go of old stuff, to cleanse ourselves of everything that weighs us down, and to make room in our lives to really live. To prepare room for the good things that are coming in our changing world. “Take delight in the Lord, and he will give you the desires of your heart.” (Psalm 37:4)

Bless us today, Father, with the ability to know what to do and how to do it. Bless us with wisdom, knowing and strength to accomplish all we want to accomplish today. Bless our hands as they go about this work of making room for new life to come in. “For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope. (Jeremiah 29:11)

For greater glory,

For better life,

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 Peace

On By thinkcarebelieveIn PrayersLeave a comment

Light our way, O Lord. We are grateful for your guiding hand, your gentle nudges and smiling God-winks. Give us peace today, Father, the kind of peace that penetrates every fiber of our being. The kind of peace that let’s us know everything is in its place in the world and everything is happening according to your divine plan. We know, Father, that our struggles may continue, but gratitude in our hearts allows us to live joyfully and peacefully. Chaos may be surging on the storm, but we know a lasting peace inside us where you dwell. Inside that sacred space, is a love so clear and pure that when we get to know it and really feel it, we can’t help but feel deeply grateful for the absolute miracle of life that you’ve given us. Your abundance knows no limits and we are blessed beyond measure.

Help us feel that peace inside. A restful peace that allows us to breathe normally again and just be. To naturally feel a sense of hope and joy about every next moment, and a knowing that more comes after that. To feel secure in knowing that you will always guide us to be in the right place at the right timing to find our greatest passion for life, one that expands our hearts to lasting fullness.

Give us Peace in our world, O Lord. May we know the kind of peace for which we’ve been longing. One where we can raise our children and grandchildren in good health and safety. Peace that permeates all relationships with loved ones and burns away all hurts and angst, leaving the truth of love there remaining. Give us peace in our day so that we may know a hopeful future again, and the joy of setting our hands to work toward it, together.

It is in faith that we know this to be entirely possible.

In Jesus’ name,

So be it,

Amen.

Prayer of Sharpened Expansion

On By thinkcarebelieveIn PrayersLeave a comment

The sun shines on us another day, O Lord. Thank you for this day to cover more important ground on our journey. To serve as your beacons and spotlights. In this time of change, we see the writing is on the wall and we shine our lights on it. Each of us is another floodlight, turning on and pointing at the truth. To burn out all the remaining power the darkness can muster, to tell the darkness it’s time is up.

And so your light shines.

As we take-in all the sun-drenched resplendence, Father, we realize this is a whole new ballgame. We are to leave our old ways of thinking at the door as we step over the threshold. We’re not going backward because we cannot anymore, only forward. Your Grace carries us on the wind, in the current of your vast ocean of Love. We will never go backward again, and there is much comfort in that. We believe in the promise of a better tomorrow, therefore we choose to live a brighter today.

“For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope.” (Jeremiah 29:11) Nothing will stop us from the bright future that is ours. We step into our shoes and look back only to learn from what we see there, to use it to make our future better, brighter, happier, healthier, more loving, giving and safe. “Do not lie to one another, seeing that you have put off the old self with its practices and have put on the new self, which is being renewed in knowledge after the image of its creator.” (Colossians 3:9-10) May we be the sharpened expansion from the light of knowledge and wisdom we gain every day, in order to put our hands to better service, always in service to you, Father.

Let it be so,

In Christ’s name,

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 Self Expression

On By thinkcarebelieveIn PrayersLeave a comment

We dedicate another day to the Lord. In service always.

Give us the courage today, Father, to sing our Soul’s unique song out into the world today. What we are realizing is that in a world that would like to put us into cookie-cutter slots and categories, what You are asking from us is to put a claim on our own authenticity and express our Soul’s own unique character freely and unsparingly. What you are telling us is that as the darkness recedes, our most cherished qualities are coming forth to be of use in new ways. To move our world toward greatness.

“Being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.” (Philippians 1:6) We’ve been called by You, Father, to shine creatively into the night. “While I am in the world, I am the light of the world.” (John 9:5) We realize that being “different” may cause us to stand out from the rest, but you want our Light to travel outward in positive new ways. To take action, and be part of the change that brings people together with new goals and understanding. We soon realize that it is really You working through us.

“To humans belong the plans of the heart, but from the LORD comes the proper answer of the tongue.

All a person’s ways seem pure to them, but motives are weighed by the LORD.

Commit to the LORD whatever you do, and he will establish your plans.

The LORD works out everything to its proper end— even the wicked for a day of disaster.”

(Proverbs 16:1-4)

With the utmost gratitude, we humbly submit ourselves to thy use. Thank you Father for all these changes in this time of dark to light. As we surrender to You, we are in amazement, that it is a miracle how it is all happening.

Glory be to you. May Christ reign victorious forever!

In humble service,

In Jesus’ name,

Amen.
