GOD IS AN EXPERIENCE

PRAYER JOURNAL II


Praying For Unending Grace and Reverence

April 18, 1988:

Dear Lord, we pray for those feeling lost who want to be rescued by God from immorality.

We ask that we, and others’ sins will not measure our future in heaven, on earth and-in-reality.

We delight in thoughts that we can enjoy serenity in God, and live lovingly and righteously.

Thus, we follow God’s scriptures as our counsel to overcome earthly desires and earn integrity.

Dear Lord, what do our prayers to you signify? We pray it is respect, love of God and reverence. We pray we will obtain acceptance with God and, life on earth can be an ardent experience. 

Where we learn charity to one another and without doubting the love and faith of Jesus Christ. Where our spirit thrives on faithfulness and trust with godly perceptions of a future in paradise.

Dear Jesus, we continue to pray for vindication of our selfish desires and opinionated thoughts. Assist us to think more about building bridges and overcoming vanity and our arrogant faults.

We are deeply saddened that we do not serve the Lord as we learn from the bible or theologian. We diligently pray, to study the word of God and attempt to follow in unwavering devotion.

Yet, we live by the earthly events of the day and continually move forward with indifference. It appears--as though we retain an ambiguous lack of care with attention and-or innocence.

Each day we see treacherous ways of sin in worldly surroundings, concerns or obligations. Thus, in importance, we pray for your unending grace to build our commitments, and relations.

Amen -




Praying For Inspirational Incentive

April 19, 1988:

Dear Lord, we pray you will free us from our troubled and overemotional anxiety.

We look to your teaching for wisdom in overcoming our anxious struggle and melancholy.

That influences our human mind allowing the devil to enjoy upsetting and discomfort in our lives.

Evil seems to spread like a microbe attacking humanity. It unrecognizably and persistently thrives.

The destruction and discouraging sadness seem to spread quickly like a raging fire burning.

In our lives we don’t recognize the devil’s influence as we are indecisive and lack discerning.

Lacking insight, we are unperceptive when we most need understanding of faithful devotion.

Leaving us weak and inadequate when challenging our adversaries with versed inclination.

Dear Lord, prepare us with your wisdom and righteousness for our unfamiliar endurance.

We pray that we will learn through prayer to be knowledgeable and thoughtful against ignorance.

Dear Lord, we believe in your truth and hasten to be practiced, educated and informative.

We promise to dedicate more time to your glory as we improve our inspirational incentive.




Praying For Peace as Our Song and Purpose

April 22, 1998: 9:42 A. M. Friday:

In the embrace of faith, we stand tall, As Jesus' believers, answering the call.

Trusting in you, our spirits find rest, in your presence, we are truly blessed.

With hearts open wide, we welcome your grace, Embracing spiritual peacefulness, in every space.

Dear Jesus, you guide us with gentle caress, Filling our souls with love and tenderness.

In the journey of faith, we find our place, Learning from you, with every embrace.

Usefulness blooms, as we walk by your side, in your light, we find purpose, our hearts abide.

So let us walk forward, with faith as our guide, In the love of Jesus, we pray to forever reside.

With faithful trust in our hearts, and peace as our song, we'll live our purpose, where we pray to belong.




Praying For Love That Casts Out Fear

April 23, 1988:

"Is God real?" some may ask, in doubt, while others firmly hold and pray devout.

The Almighty Deity, they say, Guides our paths along the way.

Love, grace, and blessings, they proclaim, Flow from God, who bears no blame.

In times of need, in joy, in pain, Believers find solace praying in God's reign.

In every sunrise, every starlit night, In every soul's journey, in every plight,

God's presence lingers, strong and true, Offering love to me and you.

So let us pause and truly see, the love, the grace, the blessings free, For in God's reality, we find our light, Guiding us through day and night.

God is real, this much is clear, In every whisper, every tear. The Almighty Deity, ever near, always offering love that casts out fear. Amen




Praying For Faithfulness on God's Foundation 

April 24, 1998:

In realms where stars dance in celestial grace, 

Righteousness, Justice, Love, Faithfulness embrace.

God's foundation, steadfast and pure,

In the cosmic symphony, it shall endure.

Righteousness, the beacon, guiding our way, in darkness, it brightens, like dawn's first ray.

Justice, the scales, balanced and true, weighing deeds, whatever and whenever we pursue.

Love, the essence, that binds us tight, in its embrace, all souls ignite.

Faithfulness, the steadfast hand, Guiding us through the shifting sand.

On this foundation, firm and sure, Humanity finds its cure.

In righteousness, we find our path, In justice, we avert God's wrath.

Love, the bond that ties us all, in its embrace, we stand tall. 

And faithfulness, our anchor strong, in calming seas, where we pray to belong.

So let us build, with hands and heart, in these pillars, let us start.

For righteousness, justice, love, and faithfulness, Are God's foundation, in divine finesse.




Praying For Our Nations Protection 

April 25, 1998:

Underneath the stars, in the calm of the night, I send my prayer, with all my might,

"Dear God, protect our Nation, land so vast, And our Leaders, in your care steadfast.

Grant them strength, to weather storms, guide their directions, diverging them from saboteurs. 

With wisdom deep, and courage bold, may their decisions, in your light, unfold.

Protect this nation, with your divine grace, In every corner, in every place,

"From sea to shining sea, let freedom ring", With your protection, let hope for peace spring.

Dear God, watch over, with vigilant eye, as our Nation soars, reaching high, In unity and peace, may we stand, Protected by your guiding hand.



Praying For Solace in Your Blessed Mercy

April 26, 1998: Evening Prayer:

In the quiet of night, under stars that gleam, I whisper prayers softly, in a heartfelt stream,

"Dear God, I am blessed," with Your love so pure, Your grace, Your mercy, they forever endure.

Through all my trials and triumphs, you've held me tight,

Always guiding my steps through the darkest of night.

Your love surrounds me, in a comforting embrace, with every prayer moment, in every space.

With each new dawn, Your blessings shine, In every heartbeat, a rhythm divine. I am but a vessel, filled with Your grace, In Your tender mercy, I find my place.

Dear God, I am blessed, beyond measure, With Your love, a boundless treasure. In every breath, and in every test,

I find my solace, in Your love, grace, and mercy, truly blessed.



Praying For Paths Pure and Bold 

Special Evening Prayer:

In a world where darkness continually thrives, When some choose paths where Godly goodness dies,

We find ourselves amidst spiritual cries, Praying to God, as our souls rebuke and criticize.

Witnessing others, lost in vice, Their moral compass takes no advice,

In confusion, we seek the wise, Praying for light, for our spirits to rise.

For we pray and yearn to walk righteous lanes, Free from sin's relentless chains,

In prayers to God, our faith sustains, Guiding us through life's refrains.

So let us kneel, our hearts unfold, Seeking clarity in scriptures told,

In God's grace, we find our hold, Praying to lead paths pure and bold.

AMEN -
