Prayers (Thinking out
loud)
Amazing how in my own life experience where I learn even
though I have known someone all my life I never really knew them at all. We put so much stock into how our life will
be the best of everything by pouring our expectations into our human partners,
friends, family, and connections.
Yet more and more we reveal just how we never really know what
and who someone is.
Saying what they mean or meaning what they say is left to a
grand canyon of what is not being revealed.
Until one day you live through that one that you never
thought would ever let you down leaves you broken and never to be the same.
You, Jesus, never break your promises. Yet we never fully give you everything that
we are first and always.
How beautiful for those who realize your timing is
perfect. Though we suffer in our wants
and desires and misunderstood outcomes.
Be it that husband that you have known all your life yet one day
he is just gone leaving you in a broken mess to clean up and to find the setup
living a double life setting up with his next. Or what about that woman who married the
man of her dreams and wanted that family and a family and children with
him. Yet, almost 50 years of marriage
just kept beating herself up thinking it was her. Then one day he revealed he did not want any
children but never let her know he had surgery and the only reason she knows
now because the love of his life almost died, and he could not live with what
he kept from her any longer.
Lord, you steady me for sure.
Both scenarios are real, one of my own with the many I could
tell. The other just another beautiful
soul who is learning who God really is and how He has been working in her life
even though she realizes how much anger and disgrace for her own being she
lived with far too long.
The stories in life do not necessarily have to be a man letting
a woman down. We know far to often it is
an equal opportunity when it comes to what people do to each other or withhold
just to get what they want.
Or taking the easy way out and never talking about what drives
their need to keep moving.
Life is full of twists, turns and brightly colored story
lines painted every day we are allowed back up.
One of the most heart wrenching things for me that crushes me
every time is watching two people who have fought forward together all their
lives and one of them leaves this planet and the other is left behind crushed.
The day I watch my brother say goodbye to my sister-in-law
after 30 years of marriage and his six-foot two frame crumble. Or how angry he was at a God he never
really took time to meet through his son Jesus. No fault of his own; by far growing up in Catholicism
doesn’t always lead you to know who Jesus really is.
Knowing how loved we really are is not something everyone gets
to understand.
I am not really sure when I finally grabbed onto that life
raft of rescue through Jesus. Well yes,
I am sort of. I have always believed
in a God. But it was when my kids were
starting their lives that I really needed to breathe again. And if it meant giving all I am to the one
who died for me I was going to do it.
Even if what I do does not qualify for what they think, say, or do.
We all have to choose and own the choices we make no matter
what the results. And that ripple
effect of our choices wash over us for a lifetime. Be it the death and sacrifice for our first
responders giving all they are to protect, care and rescue any of us. Or day to day in all the things that spin
us or those we never talk about until one day 50 years later the truth finally
comes out.
You Jesus have never been hidden yet we hide you. You have never been silent, yet we choose
to follow the static or disruptions of what we create and not what your peace
and mercy bring.
It does not stop the pain from ripping or rippling through
any one of us on any given day. But
Jesus you have taken on so much more than we ever will and never for a moment stopped
wanting better for humanity.
May we see with your eyes and learn to understand just who
you are through your heart, mercy, and grace.
May we learn to be kind to ourselves, and all those we connect. May we learn kindness matters but does not
mean we become a sacrifice.
You have already made the ultimate sacrifice Jesus. May we live for you and grow forward with you
and all you lived, suffered, died, and came back for.
We can either lean in or lean back either way our choices
matter to how we will handle any circumstance of any day given. May I always be able to give thanks just to
know the life I have been given and am still called to fight forward each day
you allow me up.
Fighting can be just learning to breathe, just learning to let
go, just learning to hold on, just all things that come our way and what or how
we will do whatever is next. Or even
how we handle the outcomes when they do not transpire into what we have planned
and the impacts ripple. God be with us
always, and may we always acknowledge He is through relationship with Christ
Jesus.
Jesus no matter if we are in our own darkness or following
your hope, purpose, and life into places that we may never return. May you always be the keeper of our souls
for all those who believe and sacrifice all things on behalf of humanity and
your love.
The wars have always raged for generations before and
generations to come. Give comfort and life
to those left behind for all those lost in the crossfire or pure evil. Your will be done Father God. For every child that is left for the demons
and all innocence given life to fight without direction or hope.
We are not defined by this world! What we choose matters and all the hate,
all the hurt all that we take from the future matters more than that two second
of power trips we ride or the truly lost bitter darkness that will torment us
eternally. Lord soften the hearts of the
haters, light up the darkness and guide all our leaders to unity and prosperous
opportunity in life, mercy, and grace that you give just by allowing life each
new day.
My captain who drives the wheel of my soul through all my own
rivers and rapids spinning within.
Forever missed, forever desire in truth pure abundant love in the depths
of freedom and raging power flowing through the veins pumped forward by the
beats of a heart that you control. Resurrect all who even silently cry and think
of you Jesus. May your angel armies
come alive and be the difference we all wish to see.
All that I am, all that I can be all that is your will. Desperately in the corner of life abundance full
of victories. Mine, theirs, yours Jesus
through that what makes our hearts smiles, or leaves us needing places to just
regroup and hide. May you never leave
me or any I am connected. No matter how
twisted or derailed the ride. We are and
forever will be your creation and most precious prize.
Thank you for loving me enough to giving me each new day with
so much to purpose and try.
