A Prayer When Tired and Waiting

Prayer When Tired and Waiting

Dear Lord, there are times when I feel so tired,
so tired, it seems I have no energy at all.
I could barely move, I could barely pray.
I feel like I’ve done so many things,
I’ve exerted my best efforts to plant good seeds,
to water them, to even pull out the weeds
that dare compete with my seeds.

I have waited, and I have almost lost my hope.
I couldn’t see a single plant sprouting from the ground.
It’s as though I have not done anything,
as though I buried trash instead of seeds that should grow
and bear fruit before my eyes.

My God, I have done everything the best I know how,
and now I rest before you.
I pray for your blessing.
I pray for your abounding Grace.
These are not my seeds, after all, but Your seeds.

Let them see the destiny that you’ve made for them.
Let them bare a thousand fruit.
Let my eyes see your miracle.
Fill my cup again, Dear Lord.

It is You that I wait for,
and in You only shall I find
what I have long been waiting for.

A Prayer of Hope for the Economy

Father God, times are hard they say

Many people will lose their jobs.

No one can tell how long this crisis shall last.

No assurance can be given

to all who grope in the dark.

But I believe, dear Father

that this too, shall pass,

and there is no trial we cannot be able to conquer

with faith in our spirits

and courage in our hearts.

Protect us dear God

first of all from despair.

Let not our minds be anxious

but let our spirits have peace

that surpasses all understanding.

May we never lose our hope.

May we never lose sight of our awaited morning

when milk and honey

shall flow into our land once again.

May we walk with steadfast feet.

May we work with steady hands.

And may we always believe

that miracles still happen,

for they do happen

even now as we pray.

Let your abounding Grace cloak us with blessings

and may your strength

keep us from every harm.

Vanquish the fears that wishes only

to cast doubt and hopelessness.

Replace it with a love that never fails,

a love that heals and prevails,

a love to keep us warm

as we hold on to each other

and as we await the abundant land

which You have promised us

with you kind

and mighty Hand!

Three Things I Asked In Prayer

This morning, there were three things I’ve asked for in prayer. They just came out naturally, from my heart. They’re simple things many people may not ask for given three things to pray for.

1. Health

I prayed for health so I could do more things and be of service to more people. I’ve noticed that when my physical health was down, all my energies contract and I can’t attend to anyone else but myself. That’s nature’s way, for the millions of tiny living systems in your body to concentrate first in your healing before they could do anything else. I pray for health. When I am healthy I am less irritable, I am more tolerable, I have more buffer in giving of myself and I can accomplish many things.

2. Courage

I prayed for courage to be able to accomplish what is right. We may be given health, but having courage to do what should be done is certainly a different thing. In these difficult times, people often swallow their courage in place of something else, something that often proves to be not worth it. Courage defines your soul, which later on defines the outward manifestation of your being, your life.

3. A Sense of Humor

We may forget many things, but may we never forget to laugh. After all, all things are passing, even our troubles. We are beings of eternity, so what does it matter how many blunders you make today? You will learn out of it, and you will come out of it a better person, a better “you” that the whole world would be thankful for. A sense of humor is a sign of confidence. It tells us we can survive the storm, even if it messes up our hair and drenches our best suits.

Prayer of a Troubled Soul

O troubled soul
cast your cares upon Him
who knows you most
and who loves you like no other

In Him is life
and healing
In Him is strength
and hope to carry on

Let not your eyes be cast down
Let not your hands hang limp
but let your head be lifted up unto the heavens
where your help will certainly be coming from

You have been saved
you have been redeemed by His most precious blood
You are His for all eternity
and nobody can snatch you away from his unfathomable Love and Mercy

What is there to despair about
What is there to fear
You have everything
and will not lack in anything

In prayer and thanksgiving
rejoice and celebrate
This day is indeed the day
that the Lord has made!

Do we need other people’s prayers?

Have you ever wondered why we pray for other people? If God is good, why couldn’t He just give us our desires? And why do we need to even pray in the first place?

In the case of Christianity, why can’t we just approach Jesus who is the One appointed Mediator between God and man?

Further, why approach saints and even angels in the process? Is Jesus’ intercession not enough?

And why the need to even approach mortal men for their prayers? Men of lesser powers than the mentioned saints? Men who are nothing compared to the very Son of God?

I have initially thought of the following:

1. The Law of Vibration and Attraction

Per this law, the collective consciousness of a large group vibrating in unison attracts more
power than a few and weaker consciousness.

2. The Key of Transmutation

Prayer is one powerful tool of transmutation wherein our earthly concerns are lifted up unto the spirit planes where it can find fulfillment. In effect, people praying for us act as fellow TRANSMUTERS to carry out our petitions to greater heights than we could have ever accomplished alone.
