Prayers (Thinking out
loud)
Lord only you can be everywhere all the time. When you took me out of the desert and had
me look up. Was that moment in time, was it a lesson, was it just
the step to where you have me going?
Only you know the future.
But what I know is when I am asked what makes me stop believing. When all along I have been honest to say I
never did believe what they say, but it did not stop me from loving the real
them even if they would never show up.
Show up for themselves, for their families, for the eternal destination
not just forever here and now.
Love, real love, your love God knows no boundaries. Mix that all up with dreams, desires of the
flesh and the persistence that if we do not give up. If we just keep fighting forward for all that
is good and beautiful through what we see with our own minds eye.
Well just because we have to wake up, shake up and be in the
reality we are given and not just the dreams or that oasis we seen while
wandering in that desert or hiding our head in the sand so that we can never
get lost in our weakness or be taken advantage of anyone.
You alone Christ know where I am to be. You alone know what is happening within and why
some discomfort and lack of understanding is transpired or why the shuffle is
in place.
It has to be yours Lord.
Where are you sending me as a help, where are you now?
Life and the circle of it that spins is ongoing. No matter if our time runs out or is just
getting started. There is a time and
season for everything and everyone!
Just because the time is not yet; does not mean the love is any
less. In fact, when you love anything,
set it free. If it is meant to be it
will always come back. If it does not,
it does not mean it never was. It just
means that your time was not what we know as forever.
Learn from love, learn from lessons, learn from what you really
do not understand and that which is perfectly clear.
Guard your heart Proverbs 4:23 says, “Above all else, guard your heart, for
everything you do flows from it” (NIV). The Hebrew translation of guard means
to keep above all keepings. So, above ALL you guard – your marriage, family,
bank account, passwords, your car or house – guard your heart with more
vigilance than anything else.
Where that leads us is so clear when we do not.
When things are happening, you cannot understand. When things
transpire because you made choices and they turn out as you did not
expect. Or you knew but thought you
would be wrong and did it anyway. It is
not the end of the world, no matter how heavy that tsunami wave that comes
after becomes. Give it all back to the
one whom you belong. Give it back to
Christ Jesus.
Dig in and stop fighting alone and stop playing that spiritual
tug of war. No matter if we are that purposed,
or hell bent on gaining or taking on or even taking from. Actions speak louder than words. And sometimes the truth is known far before
it ever comes out. Especially when we
think it is hidden deep in dark places never to be found.
Judge not of what riddles play out, word porn sparks something within
you, or even at times that attraction and lust deep within is strong for
something, or someone that will never be lasting but just another piece to
collect. Weigh out and know what the
worth is and the price you or those who love you dearly would pay.
Loving someone, loving something can really hurt. When it is meant to be it gives you that
fulfillment back. Be it comfort to know
they got your back, it feeds your spirit, it or they help your grow, and bring
so much brightness deep within your soul.
When you realize it is not balanced, it is one sided, it is not what it
is pretending or labeled to be. It
takes little bits and pieces of an already spirit that is so desperate to be
filled forever.
Jesus forgive us for the hurt you take because of this lost
humanity. When our children turn their
back on the parents that are alone, sickly, or even dying alone. Forgive us that we are so needy to want to
believe in humanity we think we can make a difference with those that are good
at the games the world plays. Forgive
us when we give ourselves away to everything but you~ When you are always fighting for us. You are the air we breathe and forget to
give thanks for even just getting back up with no plans one more day.
It is no lie I cannot do this life on my own Jesus. Shaking my head as I think about how everyone
thinks I am so strong. They do not get
the truth. I am a mess in pieces all
over the floor in front of your
cross. Hoping I didn’t mess up too
much then, hoping I didn’t mess up too much this time. Yet, know all that I am is because you give
me life and you alone allow me back up and out of the dark. When all I want to do is disappear and not
feel some of the fall out of those I love, want to love, or even the choices I
make trying to love.
My schedule and plans, well maybe they will happen. Maybe I will be what someone needs, maybe I
will be filled up with that energy to work harder and bring it back together as
the world says it should be. Maybe I
will just be me who I have always been and will be.
Shake me and all I am connected up Lord, whenever doubt
comes. Whenever the sorrow fills so quickly,
we find ourselves going under.
Never alone, never in touch with those we want to be, should be,
could be. Does it matter as long as we
find you and cling tightly, never to let go?
Your worth is far greater than anything temporal of this
world. How do we find you when so many
do not know you? How do I never lose
you?
We can rise as I have I will again and fill in all the blanks that
sometime tip me over or spin out of control trying to be all that is not my
place or your will.
Crazy how this mind can go from Metallica to Hillsong and still be
lifted just by the music in my soul thanks to you. Because of you nothing else matters and there
is no greater blessing to know and have you in my life.
Imperfectly placed mosaic colors and pieces of a giant life
puzzle that someone or some wind comes by and shakes the canvas, and we shift
to a different corner or fight our way back to make that which you already see
up ahead. No matter what the color,
size, shape you alone have made all things beautiful. But if only the world of humans could remain
beautiful or learn to be that beauty from the inside out.
Father God, Thank you!
You Jesus use every single thing.
May we find you and your will in all things. Love wide open or shut. When I let them in, I cannot help but love
who they are not what they do. It makes
me crazy what they do. As I know I too
have done that to you. Yet you love me
anyway. So why can’t I? Even when I have to let go; because I need
too much, because I love too deep, too hard and know when the time is right
what is meant to be will always be.
Teach me your will!
Take me in your direction!
Love all the broken pieces, places, people, and things I am!
Accept all of my unspoken thanks, and requests to be forgiven
for all I do not know!
Show me how to never let go!
Make it real in all that matters for all that I am!
Heavy is the crown that you bore the thorns and bled out and
still today pour out washing those who call you to be washed clean. Heavy is the burden and crown that only you
Jesus take on.
Give this world your healing, strength, mercy, and grace to
share out and be that love that only you are.
Thank you for this day and any other I may be given.
