Blessed Prayer

May God’s blessing flow upon all those whom I love, upon those whom I do not love, and upon those for whom I pray even though I do not know them.

Meditation Thought: “The unfolding of your words gives light;
    it imparts understanding to the simple.” (Psalm 119:130)

Holy Spirit, dwell with me, that the words and wisdom of my precious Lord will be enshrined in my heart and mind, pouring from my mouth according to His will, that His purposes might be accomplished through me. Forgive me, Lord, for my sins of omission and commission, and direct my thoughts and deeds, my attitudes and emotions, that the joy of Your Presence might shine as a beacon in the dark.

May Your blessed Presence fill all my days with praise, and my nights with peace. may You be my understanding and my overseeing, that my life is consistently doing Your will – all of Your will, and only Your will.

May my body and mind be truly a temple for my beloved Yaweh, Jesus and Holy Spirit – a place of worship, peace and joy dedicated to each personality, sensitive to each personality, open to responding to each personality that it might be made more beautiful and more useful and more fulfilling to God and to man.

May Jesus’ name be praised, He who was obedient even unto death, He who loved even unto death, He who rejoiced even with the knowledge of the cross. Jesus, I thank you for the bearing of my sins, so that truly, my burden is light and Your yoke is easy, that your yoke is not to enslave me, but to guide me to the places which will make me ecstatically happy, rejoicing in You placing the yoke on me as I asked You to do – trusting that being yoked by You was better than being free, floundering in all directions, but never finding fulfillment of the purpose of my life.

May God’s blessing flow upon all those whom I love, upon those whom I do not love, and upon those for whom I pray even though I do not know them.

“For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten son that we should not perish but have everlasting life.” “My cup runneth over, and surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life.”

P.E.A.C.E.

We can rest assured that we no longer need to fear the dark.

Meditation Thought: “Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.” (John 14:27)

“You light up my life” – a few words from an old song, but what meaning! In the dark, we are afraid, uncertain of what surrounds us, where to go; we are apprehensive, nervous. A sudden illumination of light – and instant change: our fears vanish, we are assured, we are at peace.

With the Light inside of us illuminating everything with which we come in contact, we can rest assured that we no longer need to fear the dark – for there will be no dark for us. There will be all kinds of circumstances, situations, places – but always clearly seen, as our Guide is with us to deal with them.

Psalm 23: A Psalm of David.
23 The Lord is my shepherd;
I shall not want.
2 He makes me to lie down in green pastures;
He leads me beside the still waters.
3 He restores my soul;
He leads me in the paths of righteousness
For His name’s sake.

4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,
I will fear no evil;
For You are with me;
Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me.

5 You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies;
You anoint my head with oil;
My cup runs over.
6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me
All the days of my life;
And I will dwell in the house of the Lord
Forever.
