GOD and POETRY

GOD IS AN EXPERIENCE

IN THE BIGINNING

INTRODUCTION TO A PRAYER JOURNAL:

A Journal was not even an idea. It just happened.

While shopping at a bible store one day, I saw a beautiful book with hundreds of empty white pages. The cover was a very special design with a vibrant deep blue color.

I am not sure what made me pick the book up and open it. It surprised me to see empty pages.

I was wonderfully surprised when I began to write a prayer poem on the first empty page. 

BEGINNING A DAILY JOURNAL TO GOD:

This was the start:


GOD AND POETRY: PART 1

BEGINNING A DAILY JOURNAL TO GOD:

• This journal began with two people.

• Each person dedicated their commitment to writing every day.

• There was no plan or outline, it started by devoting time to writing.

• It was imperative to write the prayers and words emanating randomly.

Some words, comments, thoughts, and prayers contained in this journal were written from 1986 through 1989. I started reading and editing the journal again in 2022.

The prayers are not written or intended for any word-perfect or proper literary expertise in writing or style perspectives. The poems and words are only meant for prayers.

Emma Schartner contributed to various poems in the journal. Emma is no longer with us on earth. She joined the Lord in 1999.


Dedicated Specifically to

the Experience with God.

GOD AND POETRY



EVENING PRAYER:

 

Dear Lord, we need your presence within so we can enjoy our time in prayer with you.

We know there is nothing else in this world so righteous and true.

Although your miracles are attacked by science as intangible.

We experience the spirit and soul of God as remarkable and ostensible.

Throughout our souls and within, save us in our faithless hours.

Dear Jesus, energize us with your positive powers.

We need your words and guidance that you provide in all your teachings to humanity.

We pray, asking to be humble, and to understand, and learn amidst our immorality.

We trust and believe in the miracles of God and Christ that so many try to prove--are untrue.

However, we as God’s soldiers and believers, with (faith) in Jesus, and our Almighty Lord undoubtedly know to be true.
