The Second Fifth WM

Prayer enables the lame to leap for joy.
It opens prison doors
and stifles discord.

Prayer move thinkers into action;
as it clarifies and solidifies purpose.
It strengthens the enfeebled.

Prayer is our will engaged;
by it we see the sinner saved.
It unites us to our Creator.

Prayer is always hungry.
It can not be filled.
Never let go of praise.

Prayer is Sonlight reaching our soul.
It can be the slam of the sledge,
or as gentle as the rising tide.

Prayer unites the Church of Christ.
It unifies man and wife before God.
It can save our children from the abyss.

Prayer saturates.
It eradicates,
and educates.

Prayer prays for opportunity
to see death exchanged for Life
In love the scraps of trust reach the Creator.

Prayer cannot be wasted or lost.
Every seed is resplendent with life,
It's effervescent with good will.

Prayer is both faith and agony.
Warriors are tormented until answered.
It's the sustaining energy of the Redeemed.

Prayer is color blind.
It shames us for our prejudices
as it images Christ in our heart.

Prayer

I tried some years back to say what prayer is. I am forwarding only
one-fifth of what I wrote. I enjoy rambling with words. It somehow fulfills
me. I thought about submitting it for the Eastview Blog but it isn't so
much a prayer as what is prayer. WM

Prayer
Prayer is the inexhaustible source
It is limitless in its scope -
God listening with infinite love.

Prayer is the language that loves to pray.
It is a spiritual blank check
Drawn on the boundless bank of God.

Prayer is an audience with our Master;
a consultation with the Great Physician
It's a conference at The Summit.

Prayer is the safest of great energies.
Novices can achieve joyous results,
taking the celestial highway to God.

Prayer bows our head and lifts our hearts.
As we kneel before Him on His dais.
It's humility before our Sovereign God.

Prayer is the pathway Jesus cleared.
He's listening, inundating us in His love.
It is God, pausing to examine our heart.

Prayer is the lighted torch of His love.
It permits us to live in the glow of His person
where we glimpse the Illuminator's heart.

Prayer cleanses us in our surroundings
as it expands our Spirit.
It is the purging of our soul.

Prayer permits us to view our role in life.
It it communion done at the best of times.
It is the finest, humbling-good we do.

Teach Me to Pray

Dear Lord,
You know my heart, and you know my desire to be more bold in my prayer life.  Why do I struggle with praying out loud to you?  Why do I stuggle with finding the words to say to you?  I know that daily prayer and spending time with you DAILY is what will make me a stronger Christian, and that IS what I want in my life...  So please give me the boldness I need, give me the words to say, overwhelm my heart with the desire to grow closer to YOU so that I will know Your voice and that I may be a light to others in my life.  Remind me DAILY of your blessings in my life, Remind me DAILY of the sin in my life and the things in my life that are keeping me from being who YOU want me to be and please give me the courage to change them.  Make me who You want me to be.  I love you.  Thank you for CHOOSING me.

Praising My God

I praise you God for your love, your mercy, your daily presence in my life,
and the calming peace you provide. Regardless of what life brings, you are
bigger and stonger than whatever challenge is before me. You alone are never
too busy to listen to my prayers, and for that I will be eternally thankful.
I praise and thank you for helping me let go and letting you take the
reins...less of me and more of you is my prayer.

Repentance

Lord, you are perfect.  I am desperately sinful.  I fail you time after time.  I have committed the same sin against you for years.  Only you can take it away from me.  Take this sin from me Lord, and clean my heart.  Shower me with your holiness.

Hear me, Father

 

You thought this world into being--breathed the clouds across the sky

You created me knowing I'd need rescuing--yet loved me just the same

You are with me and in me at all times--I should never be fearful or worry

You are merciful and generous--forgiving even the most heinous of acts and yet  

     blessing me with a bountiful life

You have created me with a plan for my life

You have given me an escape plan from the evil one--through Jesus, who died for

     my sins even before I was born

You allow me to use and enjoy the glory that surrounds me--each day is new and   

   beautiful and reminds me of Your Awesome Power

You have spoken the Word as our guide--as appropriate today as when it was

   first written

You never falter in word or deed--you are always true

Every moment of my fife should be a testament to your Greatness, your Power,

   your Glory--as a map for those who have yet to believe

 

Amen
