Prayer of Peaceful Thought

On By thinkcarebelieveIn PrayersLeave a comment

As our day begins, Father, we invite you into our lives. Today particularly, we invite you into our thoughts and feelings. Normally, we would go through the day in a private monologue of thinking about all the things in our lives from a survival perspective. When we realize that You dwell inside us, it changes the way we relate to you in that you are not just relegated to a pious corner on Sundays or prayer time, our connection to you becomes a 24/7 conversation in unceasing prayer.

In this way, Father, we lift our thoughts and feelings by choosing how we will fill our brains, and begin to discipline our thinking. It doesn’t help anyone to think thoughts that only make us feel more disempowered. When we realize that You don’t want us to be victims, but You give us these challenges as steps to climb up to a more peaceful place that gives us true freedom. That freedom starts by disciplining our own thoughts to be made new by the attitude of our own minds. “For the Spirit God gave us does not make us timid, but gives us power, love and self-discipline” (Jeremiah)

Father we are grateful for all the blessings you bestow upon us. We are grateful to be here and able to experience the gift of another day. May our thoughts be worthy of a 24/7 conversation with you in unceasing prayer. “Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things.” (Philippians)

We trust in you with an open heart,

In Jesus’ name,

Amen.

Prayer of the Divine Soul

On By thinkcarebelieveIn PrayersLeave a comment

As a soulful start to our day, Father, we greet the morning in eager anticipation of what is in store. You are in everything. If we look, we can find you there, but we sometimes don’t see it until we surrender fully to the you that is within us. It’s not just seeing You in the world, Father, but it’s the You that recognizes You in the world. This divine self recognition is the roadmap as our Soul drives the car. It is crafting our experience, enriching our lives, and supplying growth through the storms we weather. In all this, the You in us finds the You in the world. “Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.” (Matthew)

It is in our own divine-heart that we see the heart of the world. The divine spirit in us makes the world transparent and opens our eyes to the presence of the divine spirit in all things around us. “Or that all things work together for good to those who love God, who; or that in all things God works together with those who love him to bring about what is good— (Romans) When we get off-track, we can always reach into our center and reconnect with that part of us touched by you, our divine spirit, and bring about what is good.

Help us maintain the connection with everything that is You, today Father, and every day. Help us to recognize you in the world, speaking spirit to spirit and heart to heart while being in the ebb and flow of life. Help us to remember that darkness is just an absence of Light, and when we shine, when we bring our unique expression to an experience, when we are authentic, we bring a bit of you into all things, and that is just what the world is craving. It is the authentic love of you for which the world yearns. When we interact on the Divine Soul to Soul connection, we find that which we have been missing.

In divine loving service,

In Jesus’ name,

Amen.

Prayer of the Shining Light

On By thinkcarebelieveIn PrayersLeave a comment

We praise you for the gift of another day in which to use our energy and intention to our best and highest good according to your rule that is golden. “So in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you, for this sums up the Law and the Prophets.” (Matthew) We know that everything we put out somehow makes its way back to us, and therefore, you want us to cleanse ourselves of the sickness that has scourged humanity for eons. By carrying anger, jealousy, resentment, and all forms of ill-will toward someone, we actually bring those things onto ourselves, according to your law. “Give, and it will be given to you. Good measure, pressed down, shaken together, running over, will be put into your lap. For with the measure you use it will be measured back to you.” (Luke) We know that when we don’t have the best intentions toward someone, that it will come back to us and we will feel what we tried to make that person feel. We will feel the brunt of our own malice. So, we choose to be in the light , Father. We choose to treat others as we would want to be treated if it were us in their sandals.

Because you want us to love eachother, and you sent your son to teach us, through selfless action, what love was really all about. “A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.” (John) Let us learn new, elevated ways of nourishing eachother, Father, because we know that darkness is just an absence of light. When we come to our inner temple and call to You, “Oh God, come to my assistance” we know you will be there, ready to hear the whisperings of our soul. Thank you Father for your everlasting, endless love for us. Thank you for applying your divine will in our here and now, and thank you for upholding your rule that is golden.

In Jesus’ name,

Amen

Prayer of Reassurance

On By thinkcarebelieveIn PrayersLeave a comment

For this day, Father, we ask for the blessing of each step we take on our path of life. We ask for your light to light the way for us. Although it may feel hard at times, we will always come to you to renew our faith and resupply our strength. Thank you for keeping our divine connection open so that we may always come to You when we need that restoration in your divine music in order to overcome the challenges that are set before us. Let us relax in the knowing that nothing has gone wrong. That all is going according to your divine plan.

Help us shine our light, Father, in all situations that we possibly can. May we always be able to shine appropriately. May we shine doing what we love to do in order to contribute in positive and meaningful ways. May our words be a kindness to a heart that’s starving. May our hands be a gift of comfort in a world in moments of struggle. May our ears hear the music of the Universe so that we may flow with its endless enduring rhythm. May we always see truth and may our Light shine forth into every situation before us, because that is what you sent us here to do.

From 2 Peter, “So we have the prophetic word made more sure, to which you do well to pay attention as to a lamp shining in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star arises in your hearts.” We shine as we do the work we were meant to do, to play with what makes us feel passionate, and to ignite the flame of others that have become extinguished.

Bless us and our loved ones today, Father. Bless our teams and tribes. May we all stand for truth and integrity that way you intended.

In humble service,

In Jesus’ name,

Amen.

Prayer of The Restful Heart

On By thinkcarebelieveIn PrayersLeave a comment

Father,

When we are connected to our Soul, we have a higher vantage point. We can see all around us. This helps us to be more closely connected to You and stay in your light. We don’t indulge our needy, distorted, anxious self, but instead we stand healed in Your Light with a restful heart. That purity of heart sees ourselves and everything else from a higher perspective, seeing limitless possibility and open roads ahead. Our restful heart allows us to grow beyond the veil, beyond the challenging things that try to hold us back, so we can stretch our wings and fly. Our song becomes clear and distinct and we are filled with a bounding joy coupled with a renewed sense of purpose.

Bless us with this ability today, Father. Send your healing Angels to clear all anxiety, all discomfort and lift us into a trajectory that catapults us to our best and highest existence. As we witness our world’s transition from dark to Light, experiencing it from that higher vantage point, we won’t get caught up in the chaos and upheaval of the world. We are able to easily see it all as part of the process of the clutter clearing out. Thank you Father for this clarity that allows us the gift of a restful heart.

During this time of upheaval and change, please bless our families, teams and tribes. May they all be given the gift of upliftment to a higher perspective and a restful heart. May they always be protected and held close to you. May they be filled with a fountain of unlimited energy that comes directly from You.

May we all step forward into a better, brighter future with ease.

In gratitude, with enduring Love, and humble service,

Amen.

Prayer of Gratitude

On By thinkcarebelieveIn PrayersLeave a comment

We greet the day Father. The day that you have given us as a gift to create as much love and beauty in the world as we can. We realize we are imperfect. And we come to you with an open heart, asking how we can serve you today. How can we best be examples of integrity for humanity and for Mother Earth?

We are in gratitude for every blessing in our lives, especially the things we don’t think about very often. Thank you for every gift of life, every breath, every heartbeat. Thank you for the food that nourishes us and gives us wonderful experiences. Thank you for kindness of others, and thank you for opportunities to show our love back, because we know it all comes from you. Thank you for beautiful night skies and rainy days. For every grain of sand and flowers that bloom. We are grateful for all the beautiful experiences that life has on offer, because we know it comes from your love. “This is the day which the Lord has made; Let us rejoice and be glad in it.” (Psalm 118)

Today, we align ourselves with our Soul’s Purpose, with your plan for us, with our destiny. We release any resistance and put ourselves in your hands. We put all our trust in you, Father, and in your plan for us. We have faith in you and we have faith in us. Bless us this day, so that we may step ever-faithful on our journey today. May we endeavor to carry out Your Will according to Your Divine Plan. May the Earth and humanity be blessed and lifted in your arms.

Let it be so,

In Jesus’ name,

Amen

Prayer of Wings

On By thinkcarebelieveIn PrayersLeave a comment

Father,

We meet You this day by pausing in our struggle of thrashing through the weeds using sword and shield. To pause in the battle of survival that we know so well to make space for our Spirit. The battle has become so normalized that we forget that we have control in how we decide to view life. Do we stay thrashing in the weeds, or do we lift up out of the mire using wings that we didn’t realize we have. “Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.” (Romans)

Our wings, Father, came from the culmination of healing all wounds of the past to reach a position of strength so great and so profound that we are lifted out and are able to see You and feel
You as our wings carry us to finish off our battles from above. When we’re not stuck in the struggle anymore, we can see it all and maneuver as needed. You give us that ability, Father. We allow it but you give it to us because you command it to be so. “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)

We call in Lord Jesus, the master of healers to completely heal and clear all past wounds, to remove all burdens and activate our wings so that we may rise up and win the battle from above the morass. May we each be protected in every possible way on all planes of existence. May our family be lifted out of their struggles and be healed and made whole. May we all learn to love eachother better, with love and forgiveness that we deserve, to emerge from the storm better than we’ve ever been.

In humble gratitude,

and enduring service,

Amen.

Prayer of the Heart~Mind

On By thinkcarebelieveIn PrayersLeave a comment

Father,

There are many concerns and worries in the world now. As we start our day, and look over the events that mark the world’s footsteps through time, we are reminded to maintain that connection of our heart to our mind. Looking at the world right now, our logic mind can make us feel like You are missing, and we tend to wonder where You are in all this. But, when our heart is connected, our minds won’t go into worry, think in circles, and get lost in “what ifs.” You are in everything, and when we reach out to feel your living Universal spirit, pure logic changes into inspired knowing, one that flushes all fear and worry, and settles into the task at hand.

Our lives are governed by the motions of our work, and our interactions with eachother. When we stop for just a moment, and set the intention to connect with you in a direct manner, by reaching inward and finding you there in our inner temple, we can feel the music of the Universe. Instead of drudgery, we see life as a muli-faceted living reality inviting us to swim in the flow of life that wants us to thrive. We see that life is really much more than we thought. We then come alive and feel you Father. We begin to live again.

Bless our hearts and our minds. May we see the truth in all things. May our worries and concerns be transformed into guided wisdom as in James, “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.” This brings a new compassion, one bourne of experience. “To sum up, all of you be harmonious, sympathetic, brotherly, kindhearted, and humble in spirit; not returning evil for evil or insult for insult, but giving a blessing instead; for you were called for the very purpose that you might inherit a blessing.” (1Peter)

May our minds be quieted to connect with our hearts, to open our eyes and see You in all the miracles that are happening in real-time, all around.

Let it be so,

Prayer of Divinity

On By thinkcarebelieveIn PrayersLeave a comment

Father,

Today we reach the bridge where we meet you, where our humanness somehow melds your divinity. We choose to walk in the Light, Father. Because remaining in darkness keeps us connected with the things we don’t want, instead of being connected to all things of the Light that we do want. We realize that we are here to unite with you. To rely on you. To trust in the unconditional love of you, realizing that everything good, beautiful and true comes from you, offered in love.

We ask that all blockages fall away, Father, that doors open for us that bring us to a rebirth of who we truly are, Children of the Light. May we always walk in the light, our feet touching the Earth in a song of vibrancy. May we walk in the spirit of vitality and renewal. May we have a benevolent effect on everything we reach with the work of our hands. May our voices speak in ways that always ring true. May everything we bring forth send out waves of Light with unerring devotion. “But whoever does the truth comes out into the light, so that what he is doing may plainly appear as done in God.” (John 3:19)

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. All perfectly pieced together and flowing as a chorus of magnificent declaration of the power of life, sung by the true children of the Living God.

In Loving Devotion,

And in Service,

Amen.

Prayer of Self Acceptance

On By thinkcarebelieveIn PrayersLeave a comment

Father,

We greet the new day with love in our hearts. “So we have come to know and to believe the love that God has for us. God is love, and whoever abides in love abides in God, and God abides in him.” (1 John) As we come to that moment that we must overcome, where we must deal with reasons that say we are not worthy of being loved by you. Feeling that we still need to fix something in ourselves, in order to be worth your love, is an illusion. You love us as we are, perfect in your eyes. If we can summon our faith, Father, without holding back, and commit to knowing that we are fully loved by you, then we can fully accept ourselves as you accept us. We can accept all the parts that we discarded, things we’re not proud of and forgive ourselves completely, so that we can be whole again.

By surrendering to complete trust that you love us, we are declaring that we are worthy of your Love. “Come now, and let us reason together, saith the Lord: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.” (Isaiah) Let each and every one of us, know ourselves as your children, divine in all aspects and beautiful in your eyes. With that, Father, we know that you gave us this spirit, not to suffer and die, but to live amply, as 2 Timothy tells us, “For God gave us a spirit not of fear but of power and love and self-control.”

In this way, we can trust our inner knowing that you love us, and everything is going to work out, and surrender to the faith that nothing can stop the best from happening, and it begins now. Bless our day, may it be filled with balance and harmony, as we gain even more ground for the Light. May we bring peace to the forefront. May this day be blessed with Angelic reassurance and extraordinary happenstances. May we all rise to new levels that we never thought possible.

Let it be so,

In faith and trust in your Love,

Amen.
