In Thee Oh Lord do i put my trust

In thee, O Lord, do I put my trust; let me never be ashamed: deliver me in thy righteousness. .  Psalm 31:1
Our hearts became dirty, oh Lord, and you made them clean.  Our mouths became filthy rags and you taught us how to speak.  Our eyes began to lust, and you held us at bay, then you gave us insight that we might behold the beauty of your son Jesus the Christ.  Our hands moved to do vile things, and you game them your work to do.  You give us mercy when we do not deserve it. You give us an ear to hear when we need to talk.  You give us comfort when we are broken and oppressed.  You give us victory when we cannot stand.  It is by your hand and your word that we even exist at all.  Help us to remember today that even though we are filthy rags, worms that crawl in the dust, vile creatures whose sins you should not look upon, that in mercy you came to us.  Even when we could not come to you, You came to us.  You sought us out.  We could never earn the love that you have so freely given.  Help us to be worthy of even a small bit of your love.  You call us to rise up and to be all that you are desirous of us to be.  With your banner of victory you raise us.  With your love you sustain us.  Help us oh Lord to be worthy of your love and grace.  Help us o Lord to be worthy of such a good Lord and master, of such a God a you. In Jesus name we pray.  Lord I ask for strength, courage and a blessing of prosperity for all who are your children as we walk in the path you have set before us.  Let us walk with eyes wide open, knowing that you are our victory banner. We never walk alone. In the mighty and miraculous name of Jesus Christ we pray. Amen.

Created in beauty

O Lord, how exalted is your name above the heavens and the earth!  You alone are worthy of all honor, glory and praise. You are the alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end.  It was only you who created the heavens and the earth.  Only you, Lord decided to create us. Lord, you created us in your image. For our transgressions we are forgiven again and again. We are fed by your hand and clothed in your beauty. We are allowed to have wisdom,  knowledge,  insight and interpretation of words, things and events because you see fit.  With these gifts we are able to grow in knowledge, to stand in strength, to walk in peace and to understand the depth and importance of Your Word.  We lift up our hearts to you, oh Lord. We bless your Holy name.  We give thanks to you Oh God. You are our hope,  our strength, our light and our life.  Please keep us from the plans of evil men. Help us to bring peace and joy wherever we go. May we stand in your grace forever.  In Jesus name we pray. Amen

Prayer to get closer to God

Prayer for nearness to God


Heavenly Father, please lean in so that we can see you.  Breathe on us so that we can feel your presence.  Fill our hearts with joy so that we know you are near.  You are the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end.  You are our strength and our fortress.  You are He in whom we can trust.  You have no race, no color, no political affiliation.  You don’t want to “Make a deal” with us, or trick us into doing your bidding.  You only ask that we love you and listen to you because you are a good and loving father.  You have even sacrificed your only son Jesus Christ so that the doors in heaven to forgiveness and redemption would be opened to us.  Jesus is the only one who holds the key to that door.  (Revelations 5:4-9).  We thank you for your love and patience.  We thank you that you have given us peace and joy to sustain us in difficult times.  May we always be in your shadow to receive your blessing and protection.  May we stand with our ears, our eyes, and our hearts open to receive your Word. Blessed be the Lamb of God forever and ever!  In Jesus name we pray. Amen

Prayer

Heavenly Father, we thank you for showering us with your love each and every day. Thank you for guiding us through the sometimes scary, sometimes  frustrating maze of our day. You are the Almighty and to you we give our praise.  We are so thankful for the way you comfort us when we are nervous. We are thankful that you keep us company when we feel so alone. You give us hope and encouragement in the midst of our struggles, and you tell us which way to turn so that we can avoid disaster.  You do all that without fanfare and sometimes we don't recognize that you are working on our behalf until we see the end result. We thank you that you have made us your priority, because we know that you didn't have to. You are God. The first and the last. You are eternal and all powerful, yet you care what we do with our lives.  Help us to make you proud of us in all we do. Help us to follow your rules and to relax in your presence and trust in you. Thank you Lord that we are never alone. In Jesus name. Amen

Peace like a river

Find a quiet space for your body, your heart and your mind. Listen to the still silent air around you. Inhale deeply and receive God's peace. Hear His voice as it gently, softly wafts through your soul like a healing breeze. It whispers to you as it joins your spirit.  He Comforts you as only the holt Spirit can.  He Surrounds you, putting out your anxiety like water to a fire.  He fills you with a peace that passes all understanding.  He Covers you the way a soft snuggly blanket covers a baby as it goes to sleep.   Your fears fade.  Hope begins to push through the cobwebs and the darkness that had started to fill your mind.  A new awareness of His presence in your life fills the space around you that had earlier felt like a void.  No person could give you this peace.   You are free. He is with you. You are not alone. Rejoice! Be blessed. 🙏🏾 ☝🏽
