in prayer

Heavenly Father, i come before Your presence today with so much more understanding of our creative relationship.

thank You for speaking to me through words found in books, through the majesty found in sunshine, through the beauty i see in my photography.

Blessed Mother, thank You for being with me throughout my day, whether im in joy or in turmoil, in peace or in conflict, in darkness or light.

please, Lord God, be with me this week, another week of challenges and successes.

i ask You, dear Jesus, to be at my nephews sides and my brothers side as the days go on.  may You always protect my nephews and nieces from harm and danger.  may You surround them with light and love, for You are the Shepherd, and these babies are Your sheep.  take them as Your flock, Jesus, and keep them safe.

in Your name, i pray.

amen.

healing

Father, i have so much to be grateful for, primarily for my ever evolving understanding of my spirituality and my relationship with You.

where once i would feel so scared and minute, i now know that You are in me, guiding my steps, but allowing me to choose where to go next.  for this, i am so deeply grateful.

i know that because You are the Divine Love that i search for within myself and in others, i will find You.  i believe that You are ultimately directing me to my ultimate self, a self that knows no boundaries, that feels overwhelming abundance, that sees nothing but beauty.

when i meet this self, Father, know that i will be fully aware that it is a reflection of You that i am looking at, for You reflect our inner soul as we reflect You from our core.

ive spent 42 years in this body, my Lord God, and i feel as if i am just awakening to the truth, to the light, to the word.  it is Your infinite patience with me, Father, that heals me, that restores me, that recreates me.

i honor You, and i honor that which You have chosen for me.  i wait eagerly for the man who will love me and who i will love with the purest of hearts.  i anticipate moments when i see You in smiles, in sunrises, in a random act of kindness.

it is when i love as You do the people i come in contact with that i feel Your presence so strongly within me.  it is then when i know nothing else...when i want nothing else...

in Jesus' name.

amen.
