Prayer of Knowing we are Loved

On By thinkcarebelieveIn Prayers, Wise WordsLeave a comment

Father,

We come to you today with an open heart. There’s so much confusion swirling in the world at the moment, we come to you as our refuge. We know that first and foremost we are loved by you at our very base- at the core of who we are. Even when we get beat up, we can come to you, we have nothing to prove to you, because you love us for who we are, because at our origin point we came from you as love. “Because you are precious in my eyes, and honored, and I love you” (Isaiah 43:4) We promise to claim this unconditional love that you have for us, we promise to live from it, and use it. We promise to emulate it with our family and neighbors. “’Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength. The second is this: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no commandment greater than these.” (Mark 12:30-31)

As we accept the truth of this holy love being showered on us by you, we are being healed. To feel that we are loved so completely and purely by you, that there’s nothing else that really matters, except love and truth. That sets us free, knowing there is nothing we need to prove to you. We can focus on being that love in the world and sharing our joy with others. Knowing that we are love helps us to trust ourselves better. It sets us on a clear, clean foundation with a strong connection to you. “The Lord your God is in your midst, a mighty one who will save, He will rejoice over you with singing, He will quiet you by His love.” (Zephaniah 3:17)

Bless our day today Father, keep us in your holy light. Help us remember how much we are loved by you, as we go about our work, in service to you. Bless our hands that they may help, not hinder. Bless our words that they may heal, not harm. Bless our heart and mind that they may think and navigate well, staying true to the love that we are, while always staying protected by your Light.

In love and humble service,

In Jesus’ name,

Amen.

Prayer of Being Tested

On By thinkcarebelieveIn PrayersLeave a comment

We thank you for this day, Father. We thank you for the opportunity to get to know who we are through our challenges and experiences. It sometimes isn’t easy to know why certain things have happened to us. Sometimes they are very challenging. When we realize we are being chosen by you to be tested, it all fits into place. When we go through these things, it gives us the chance to know how strong we are and how strong our faith is. It gives us a chance to look inside, it takes us to the temple within ourselves. “Consider it all joy, my brethren, when you encounter various trials, knowing that the testing of your faith produces endurance.” (James 1:2-3) In that temple in our core, that sacred space, we can find the strength and courage to endure all. We realize that we are becoming very much like tempered steel, in a good way, when we are tested by you. “And how that patience in turn forges the tempered steel of virtue, keeping us alert for whatever God will do next.” (Romans 5:4)

Come into our hearts, come into our minds, let our Soul sing out in praise of this great journey. Keep us ever mindful that the miracles of change that we are witnessing in this world are coming from your hand and happening because of the dedication of the great warrior inside each of us, perfected through your fire, in the song of life, sung by the true children of the Living God. “But He knows the way I take; When He has tried me, I shall come forth as gold.” (Job 23:10)

Please bless our teams and families, may they be lifted up today to see everything from a higher vantage point. Bless Julian and Stella, and their family, please Father. Bless our Beloved E, may he be kept safe from all harm and be given all he needs to accomplish his missions. Refine us, Father, cleanse us with your Holy Fire. “These have come so that the proven genuineness of your faith—of greater worth than gold, which perishes even though refined by fire—may result in praise, glory and honor when Jesus Christ is revealed.” (1 Peter 1:7)

In loving service,
In Jesus’ name,
Amen.

Prayer of The Light Within

On By thinkcarebelieveIn PrayersLeave a comment

Father,

We know there are those who are saddened by the world right now. Lord please assist everyone to release their burdens and nurture the Light within to a bright gossamer glow, as you intended us to be. Come into our Hearts and our Minds so that we may move through these changes with Grace and Compassion, to stand side by side, lifting up all whom are in need. We are grateful for this day to make a difference in our world. To be the love that we are and to have an effect on our reality as we work together, hand in hand.

In Matthew we are told to let our light shine before others, so that they may see our good works. We know we are at the precipice of stepping into our future. It can feel strange to find ourselves here on a bridge between old and new preparing to take our next step. But from 1 John in the Bible we know, “God is Light, in Him there is no darkness at all.” And 1 Corinthians tells us “Do you not know that you are a temple of God and that the spirit of God dwells in you.”

As we take the next step forward, we know you walk with us, for you are The Light within us. Father we know that we are more powerful together and that when we join our voices, and the work of our hands, The Light inside us expands and shines into the darkness, which cannot overcome it.

Father, we are grateful for this day to be your love, in action.

Let it be so.
So be it. Amen

Prayer of Focused Love

On By thinkcarebelieveIn Prayers, Wise WordsLeave a comment

Father,

Seeking to connect with you in the solitude of the temple within ourselves, we encounter a love there that is so pure. It is all loving, all caring, and all forgiving. It is the basis of our relationship with our world and how we view it. From that quiet place within us, stems a personal and intimate relationship with love itself. You are reminding us that as things unravel, to keep our eye on love, to look for it and see it everywhere, as the basis of all life, and as things shift, love will materialize. Knowing that, we can remain calm in our center while fear, worry, anxiousness tempt us, but we will not take the bait. “Let all that you do be done in love.” (1 Corinthians 16:14)

We will inject love into every situation and embrace what is unique and true and authentic. “And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.” (Romans 8:28) When we align with love, everything we look at and deal with changes from unmovable to movable, from unchangeable to changeable. Because you made this world, and you are love, then it just makes sense that when we are focused on love also, we can change things for the good. Grounded in our faith, we step forward firmly on rock, keeping our footing, no matter what.

Bless us today, Father, may we step firmly through all we encounter. May we deal with our work with surety, and may we be a Light to all we meet. Bless Julian and Stella and their family and may their reunion occur very soon. Bless our Beloved E, may his work be effortless and his impact be swift and sure, while protected by your Light, always.

“But blessed is the one who trusts in the Lord, whose confidence is in him. He is like a tree planted by the water, that sends out its roots by the stream, and does not fear when heat comes, for its leaves remain green, and is not anxious in the year of drought for it does not cease to bear fruit.” (Jeremiah 17:8)

In loving service,

In Jesus’ name,

Amen

Father,

Thank you for the many blessings that today has on offer. Allow us to humble ourselves and turn away from anything wicked, in order to walk with you in grace. Renew our strength so that we may be able to stand any test, any challenge. Cleanse our hearts of any dark fears and worries. Forgive our sin and heal our land. Father, please lift up those who are struggling right now. Bring comfort and healing to those who are going through tumultuous times. Father give them a soft place to land and bring them to your pure healing with miraculous changes of Peace and Freedom out of devastation and chaos. Give us more grace please, Father. Allow us to overcome oppression and walk again soon in sober judgment in the faith you have given us. “Therefore, as God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience.” (Colossians 3:12)

Bless us this day, help us always to be mindful of how to love you better and be your love to eachother more. Bless our team today, may we always be effective and precise with our targets. Bles sJulian and Stella and their family, may they always be held up out of any darkness and fortified by your strength. Bless our Beloved E, may he always be safe and surrounded with protection.

We only ask in Jesus’ name,

Amen

Prayer of Staying the Course

On By thinkcarebelieveIn PrayersLeave a comment

Father,

Thank you for this day and the opportunity to serve you and for giving us the chance to lift eachother. Although the darkness may thrash, we know we are safe in your light. “Keep me safe from the traps set by evildoers, from the snares they have laid for me.” (Psalm 141:9) As your light shines into darkness we have the honor to witness the transformation of dark to light. As we resist the temptation to go into fear and worry, our eyes begin to open to the fact that the dark can talk of all the falsities it wants, but it will soon run out of breath, and truth will emerge triumphant. “Evildoers are snared by their own sin, but the righteous shout for joy and are glad.” (Proverbs 29:6)

The darkness is falling and the Light is rising. “The snare is that the sinner is caught and held fast by his sin, and cannot escape, as he knows nothing of repentance, and has no will to cast off evil habits.” (Proverbs 24:16) The dark is struggling. Although it may be difficult to lift ourselves out of the hopelessness of seeing dark things happening, our faith in you carries us out of it and reminds us of the joy in knowing how much we are loved by you. That we are renewed and strengthened by the wellspring of your vitality that abounds in nature and carries us through. Let us be reassured in knowing there are hopeful things coming, by Your promise, Your divine will and Your blessed deeds.

Bless our hands to thy use and us to thy service. Keep our teams together, and let none fall to the temptations of doubt and deception. Keep us strong and focused and on task. Keep us lifted out of all that may try to pull us down, keep us safely surrounded by your light, protected by your Angels, always appreciated and loved.

Let it be so,

In Jesus’ name,

Amen.

Prayer of Faith and Guidance

On By thinkcarebelieveIn PrayersLeave a comment

Father, thank you for the blessings of this day. Thank you for looking after us so well. When we seek to connect with the inward workings of our Soul, we find how life’s ups and downs play on top of a solid undercurrent of joy. That joy is our knowing that we are loved by you, and that becomes a firm foundation of strength on which to experience and from which we experience life with deeper wisdom. When we bring in your Light, we see things more clearly and have greater understanding. We feel more connected with everything. Help us step through and move past the challenges of our day and help us always be mindful that it is our faith upon which we can rely when things get tough, and to possess the certainty that you are with us when they do. “Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see.” Hebrews 11:1

We can be strong in our knowing that you will be our guidance like a lamp shining in the darkness. Guide us oh Lord, “Make me to know your ways, O Lord; teach me your paths. Lead me in your truth and teach me, for you are the God of my salvation; for you I wait all the day long.” (Psalm 25:4-5) We will step past the snares of the wicked and step through what held us back. “For everyone born of God overcomes the world. This is the victory that has overcome the world, even our faith.” (1John 5:4) Thank you for blessing us with love that abides strongly and wipes away all fear and quenches many worries. Clearing any panic, slowing our thoughts down to be one with you in the center of our being. We know you will give us answers and meaning there. We only need to quiet, calm, and listen.

Let us always be mindful of the needs of others, in humble service.
In Jesus’ name,
Amen

Prayer of Expansion

On By thinkcarebelieveIn PrayersLeave a comment

As a new day opens up, Father, we connect to you in the temple within ourselves. What we find in the temple is your ever expanding Love for us, and a Peace that is there for our taking. Let this Peace expand within us, from your temple. Let it rise to a crescendo that pushes out all the artificial debris that does not belong. “Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and evil speaking, be put away from you, with all malice: And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ’s sake hath forgiven you.” (Ephesians 4:31-32)

As we look around us in nature, we realize we are blessed by so much of your glorious handiwork in all that surrounds us in our beautiful world. We celebrate it, for it is the real truth of our reality, this beauty and wonder of nature. “Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.” (Philippians 4:6 )

In letting go of the artificially created chaos of man’s world and embrace the loving, living real world of your creation, we transcend the darkness and step into more and more light, every day. Let that Light expand within us and overflow to every one and every thing in our vicinity. And in that, Father, we thrive.

Bless us today and every day, keep our loved ones safe and in the light, restored and renewed. May we always be protected and surrounded by your Light, accomplishing all goals with ease and grace.

“The Lord bless you and keep you; the Lord make his face to shine upon you and be gracious to you; the Lord lift up his countenance upon you and give you peace.” (Numbers 6:24-26)

In Jesus’ name,
Let it be so,
Amen.

Prayer for Repair

On By thinkcarebelieveIn PrayersLeave a comment

Father,

We appreciate this day in acceptance of life being ever aware of its preciousness. As we see, touch, taste and feel life, we are reminded to make the most of the moments we are given by you, out of your ever-flowing love for us. Let us be the love that we are, to eachother for all that is needed right now in our world. Let us be the light for eachother. “Shout it aloud, do not hold back. Raise your voice like a trumpet. Declare to my people their rebellion and to the descendants of Jacob their sins.” (Isaiah 58:1) We are realizing there is a better way, and we are not accepting the treatment by those whose hearts dwell in darkness. Therefore we rise. By your hand, we unite and overcome the challenges being put before us, calling in your wisdom to guide us. “But the wisdom that comes from heaven is first of all pure; then peace-loving, considerate, submissive, full of mercy and good fruit, impartial and sincere. Peacemakers who sow in peace reap a harvest of righteousness.” (James 3:17-18)

We will overcome the challenges of the day, unperturbed, because you love us. By your hand, and by your covenant, we will do away with the yoke of oppression, and spend ourselves on behalf of the hungry, and satisfy the needs of the oppressed, then our light will rise in the darkness, and our night will become like the noonday. Guide us always and we will be like a well-watered garden, a spring whose waters never fail, so that “Your people will rebuild the ancient ruins and will raise up the age-old foundations; you will be called Repairer of Broken Walls, Restorer of Streets with Dwellings.” (Isaiah 58)

Lift us up Lord. Open our hearts and bring down the wicked. May we always be protected by your light. Bless our loved ones, may they be protected, and may we all be blessed with miraculous solutions, always in the protection of Your Light, Father, always.

In Jesus’ name,
Amen

Prayer to Release Resentment

On By thinkcarebelieveIn PrayersLeave a comment

Father,

In gratitude for this day, we turn our eyes to to positive things that are happening in our world. We look and find all the ways in which your love is affecting change. We know there is plenty we would like to complain about, but our joy, our knowing that we are loved by you calls our focus. As your children, we consciously choose to create change in this world without resentment. By using our will to release resentment, we are setting our complaints free to be transformed by you into blessings. It’s normal to go into blame and resentment, but that can put us into a box of victimhood, which makes us feel powerless. By stepping past complaints, we step through a doorway to solutions and greater understanding. Your hand guides us, Father, to rise above the stuckness of yesterday and keep our eyes healthy. “The eye is the lamp of the body. If your eyes are healthy, your whole body will be full of light.” (Matthew 6:22)

This allows us to deal with the darkness in our purest, most authentic way. “With the pure You show Yourself pure, And with the crooked You show Yourself astute.” (Psalm 18:26) Using our authentic viewpoint, we will find our own footing on this challenging path to sow Light where there is darkness. To give comfort where there is distress. To pave a road of understanding that brings differing viewpoints together toward common goals and increased understanding. “Be diligent to present yourself approved to God as a workman who does not need to be ashamed, accurately handling the word of truth.” (2 Timothy 2:15)

Bless the work of our hands today, Father. Bless our words that they may be taken in all good, hitting their mark swiftly and with accuracy. Allow us to step softly but land powerfully. May our work be performed effortlessly and with the joy in knowing that your love carries it through.

In Jesus’ name,
Amen.
