Prayers (Thinking out
loud)
Before diving in and this weekends’ journey coming out in
black and white. Yes lord: why do we
react negatively when difficulties arise.
Why do we make everything about our own being when things are happening
around us? Why we get frustrated,
irritated, or shut down?
Be with those Lord going through it right now forgetting who
they really belong to or perhaps they never really knew. Let the will of God set sail in their very
beings and help them through the storms of this life and all the chaos and
destruction that is everywhere.
So many out there far better than I am, without a doubt that
is not my problem. We have been made
for more with our own canvas to paint and create life and no matter how hard it
is or ripples here and there. When we
remember nothing is better in everything then to be chasing our tails and
thinking we need to be like those golden idols that only get melted down and
destroyed in the end.
May we remember
each time we make it to that next step in in our climb and remember the cost
and know that we will if we continue to speak the life and not give into
chasing what is temporal.
May everything, I
do everything everyone, anyone connected to me count for one step and light
closer to you Jesus.
In all the chaos of
family and each member fighting forward on their own journey’s this weekend I
spent packing up a vehicle and getting up early driving round trip 400 miles to
help even a little in one more spark to a light that is waiting to burn bright
in their own calling.
Imperfectly
contributed with time that will never be returned we thank you Jesus even if
some moments got a little more colorful, we did as a family and someday some
will look back and appreciate even the smallest actions that seemed to be
because of friction with relationships.
Even the smallest
adventures have meaning even if they seem to be not going anywhere at
times. If only we could just keep
holding hope in those hopeless moments.
This time is different as another piece of my heart string is clipped
and I have to trust in you Lord.
Everything I am
belongs to you and if you have carried me through all the moments that should
have neve been and healed so many scars that truly should have taken me out
long ago.
Broken bones,
broken lives, broken hearts that seem to never mend or when they do just as I
believe to try again, they are shattered all over again in a billion
pieces. Yet you scoop every bit of me
back up and glue me back together feeling so much love and depth that nothing
this world takes can ever be.
I wish I could hear
you clearly when you call Father.
Sometimes its like I myself keep going that same open door and missing
it until one day I jump up and realize you have been there all along.
Though none of us
are meant to be alone in this world and we surround ourselves with so many and
so much. It is you the one and only
that we really need to be consumed by morning, noon, and night in the here and
now and clearly on the other side of the new horizon coming.
Beyond good you
awaken me Jesus. Connect me, show me, direct
my path that is your will.
No one knows more
than I do what is for my day to day. We
all get there in our own time. For those that keep my heart strings in knots;
Lord protect and shine for them when they don’t know where the light is coming
from send your angels to help them be all they can be in you.
Protect and sustain
the pure hearts and innocence in this dark crazed world we are given; I know
that is a tall undeserving statement to ask.
Especially in a world that many will never care to even know who you
are.
Wake all I am
connected before it is over before it is too late.
Jesus – you know
·
the
situation with Lisa and Cancer
·
the
heart attack Jennifer had before she even made it in her 30s
·
the
chronic sickness my own child goes through
·
the
depression and illness many of the world is suffering
·
this
pandemic we know it is no different from biblical times it is just our time.
·
the
hate violence and all the world chasing everything at every cost of ever bit of
their being and soul
·
all the
health needs of family and friends; brothers and sisters of you calling and my
own blood.
Jesus we are a city
on our knees even if we are there for the wrong things. Wake us up now before it is too late, and
the souls are lost beyond anything we will ever comprehend.
Accountibility,
responsibility, respect, loyalty. Ready
to give all we are for that never ending story that takes us so high we think
we have found heaven or holds us so dear and close we never worry about ever
being let go as your arms wrap us in blessings we will never see, deserve, or
even appreciate.
Jesus not
superhuman hero just You Lord and all you promise in peace, in love, in life,
in the light.
What next Father
God?
I want it all far
beyond that little girl’s fairy tale with the white picket fence where when I
came through, I built my own designed lattice fencing. Long gone is that silly Ozzy and Harriet
dream. The fence blood red as a reminder
of the power of red and boldness to dear to live and stop dreaming. Knowing if is not real it is not happening
yet living with all I am just waiting to use what you have blessed me to be, to
do, to love.
Lord show me what
to do with this love as you reel in my boundaries and teach me each day how to
forgive what I cannot forget and learn what I do not understand.
Thank you for this
adventure and for this day. May the
grace of God never stop filling me up or the strength when those heart strings
are broken over and over.
Thank for all that
I am, all I have been and all you allow me to one do be.
May I never stop
loving those you have given me for who they are and now what they do all the
while I pray, they find their best selves and all the blessings and become that
bright light that is always painting legacies and hope for those watching.
In your mighty precious name this world needs healing Lord. So many brothers and sisters fighting forward for their own very moment to move even an inch. So much loss and destruction. Jesus we are never supposed to understand why we are supposed to keep fighting forward with and for you. The lifeline is out Lord pull all of us in and give us renewed strength and courage.
Teach us Jesus how to turn to you and stop
making it about us or like we are doing something and you could never care or
do care. With all that I am all that I love Thank you
then, now and any tomorrows I have been given.
