No one who is hopeful on God will be put into shame.

 Amen. This is a heartfelt plea that echoes throughout the Psalms—a prayer for God's faithful intervention to vindicate His servant and protect their reputation, ultimately for the glory of His name.


Here is a prayerful poem in response.


---


Do Not Let Me Be Put to Shame


O Lord, my rock, my hiding place,

My only refuge,source of grace.

My hope is built on You alone,

A trust my heart has fully known.


But I am weak, and I can fail,

My own best efforts can derail.

The world looks on with watching eyes,

Where my own strength is a disguise.


Do not let me be put to shame.


Not for my glory or my pride,

But because in You,I have confided.

When I said,"I trust in You,"

Let Your faithfulness prove true.


Let not my enemies rejoice,

And with a mocking,taunting voice,

Declare that You have turned away,

And left me to my own dismay.


Let not my hopes, placed in Your hand,

Be scattered like the desert sand.

Arise,O God, and be my shield,

My destiny,Your love, must seal.


For Your name's sake, defend my cause,

Uphold me by Your righteous laws.

Let my life be a testament,

That those who trust are confident.


Do not let me be put to shame,

Cover me with Your holy name.

My Vindicator,ever be,

My hope for all the world to see.


"No one who hopes in you will ever be put to shame..."

— Psalm 25:3


"As for me, I will always have hope; I will praise you more and more. My mouth will tell of your righteous deeds, of your saving acts all day long— though I know not how to relate them all."

— Psalm 71:14-15

I shout Hallelujah.

 Amen! "I shout Hallelujah!" This is a powerful, triumphant cry of victory and praise that transcends circumstances. "Hallelujah" is a Hebrew word that means "Praise the Lord!" It is the ultimate expression of worship, declaring God's supreme worthiness and glory.


This shout of praise is the eternal anthem of heaven:


"After this I heard what seemed to be the loud voice of a great multitude in heaven, crying out, 'Hallelujah! Salvation and glory and power belong to our God!'"

- Revelation 19:1 (ESV)


A Prayer of Hallelujah


Heavenly Father,


With a heart full of gratitude and a spirit of triumph, I shout Hallelujah to Your holy name!


· Hallelujah for Your salvation that has rescued me from darkness!

· Hallelujah for Your faithfulness that never fails!

· Hallelujah for Your power that breaks every chain!

· Hallelujah for Your love that endures forever!


No matter what I see or feel, I choose to praise You. You are worthy of all honor and glory and praise, forever and ever!


In Jesus' mighty name, Amen.


A Poem: "I Shout Hallelujah"


"I Shout Hallelujah"


When the victory is won and clear,

And Your deliverance is near,

When the battle's at its peak,

And my soul is tired and weak.


In the valley, on the mount,

I will praise You,I will count,

Every blessing,every grace,

Seen upon Your holy face.


I shout Hallelujah! Let the sound,

On hallowed,holy ground,

Rise up high and never cease,

A song of everlasting peace.


Let the demons hear and flee,

Let the captive soul be free.

For the sound of holy praise,

Turns the darkest,longest days.


Hallelujah! Praise the Lord!

Be forevermore adored!

You have won,the fight is done,

By the victory of Your Son!


So I shout Hallelujah with all my might,

In the day and in the night.

Hallelujah!My King and God!

By Your staff and by Your rod.


May your "Hallelujah" be a weapon of spiritual warfare, a declaration of faith, and a sweet song of worship today. Let everything that has breath praise the Lord

Please do not forget not forsake me.

This heartfelt cry echoes one of the most fundamental human fears and one of God's most profound promises. It is a prayer He hears and answers with absolute certainty.


This plea is found in the prayers of God's people throughout Scripture. King David prayed this very thing:


"Turn to me and be gracious to me, for I am lonely and afflicted. Relieve the troubles of my heart and free me from my anguish."

- Psalm 25:16-17 (NIV)


"Do not hide your face from me, do not turn your servant away in anger; you have been my helper. Do not reject me or forsake me, God my Savior."

- Psalm 27:9 (NIV)


God's Unchanging Promise to You


Your feelings of being forgotten or forsaken are real and painful, but they are not the ultimate truth. God's character and His promises are your unshakable reality.


"...God has said, 'Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you.'"

- Hebrews 13:5 (NIV)


"Can a mother forget the baby at her breast and have no compassion on the child she has borne? Though she may forget, I will not forget you! See, I have engraved you on the palms of my hands..."

- Isaiah 49:15-16 (NIV)


A Prayer for When You Feel Forsaken


Heavenly Father,


In this moment of deep need, I cry out to You. The silence is loud, and the loneliness is heavy. My heart whispers, "Do not forget me. Do not forsake me."


I choose to hold onto Your promises over my feelings. Your Word says You will never leave me. Your Word says I am engraved on the palms of Your hands. I believe; help my unbelief.


· When I feel forgotten, remind me that You are thinking of me with thoughts of peace and hope (Jeremiah 29:11).

· When I feel forsaken, let me feel the comfort of Your presence, even if it is a quiet assurance and not a dramatic feeling.

· Anchor my soul in the truth of Your faithful character. You are not a man that You should lie. If You said "never," You mean never.


I place my trust not in my circumstances, but in You, the unchanging, faithful God.


In the name of Jesus, who cried "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?" so that I would never have to be. Amen.


A Poem: "Do Not Forget Me"


"Do Not Forget Me"


In the silence and the shadows long,

Where it feels like everything is wrong,

A whispered prayer,a desperate plea:

"My God,do not forget nor forsake me."


The world moves on, and friends may leave,

In this deep ache,I grieve and I grieve.

But in the stillness,a truth I'll claim,

A promise whispered in Your name.


You have not left, You are still here,

You hold my every pain and tear.

You see the struggle,You see the cost,

You see the very one that's lost.


So though I feel alone and small,

I'll trust the One who sees it all.

For You are God,and You are true,

Your love will see me through.


I am not forgotten, I am not forsaken,

Though every earthly prop is shaken.

My name is written on Your hand,

By Your great love,I'll firmly stand.


Be at peace, dear heart. You are held, you are seen, and you are deeply loved by the God who calls you His own. Cling to His promises; they are more real than any feeling.

I put my trust in you, Lord.

 Amen. This is the most powerful and foundational declaration a human heart can make. To say, "I put my trust in you Lord" is to transfer the weight of your life—your fears, your future, your failures, and your hopes—from your own fragile strength to His unwavering, omnipotent hands.


This act of trust is the very essence of faith and is the key to experiencing God's peace and provision.


"Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths."

- Proverbs 3:5-6 (ESV)


"When I am afraid, I put my trust in you. In God, whose word I praise, in God I trust; I shall not be afraid. What can flesh do to me?"

- Psalm 56:3-4 (ESV)


A Prayer of Trust


Heavenly Father,


Right now, I consciously and deliberately choose to place my trust in You. I confess that I have often trusted in my own plans, my own strength, and my own understanding, and it has left me weary and anxious.


No longer. I put my trust in You.


· I trust You with my past—forgiving me and redeeming my mistakes.

· I trust You with my present—guiding me and providing for me in this very moment.

· I trust You with my future—holding all my tomorrows securely in Your hands.


My life, my family, my work, and my dreams are all in Your care. I will not be shaken, for my trust is in You, the Rock of Ages.


In the faithful name of Jesus, Amen.


A Poem: "I Put My Trust in You"


"I Put My Trust in You"


When the path ahead is unclear,

And my heart is filled with fear.

When the answers don't arrive,

And I'm just struggling to survive.


When my own strength fades away,

At the closing of the day.

There is one thing I can do,

A simple prayer,so tried and true.


I put my trust in You, O Lord,

On this,Your faithful, holy Word.

I let go of my need to know,

And where You lead me,I will go.


I put my trust in Your great love,

Sent from the Father's throne above.

I put my trust in Your design,

For this messy life of mine.


You are the anchor for my soul,

The one who makes my spirit whole.

So I will rest and I will see,

How good Your plan will be for me.


I put my trust in You, my King,

Of Your great faithfulness,I'll sing.

For You have never failed before,

And You are worthy to adore.


May this declaration fill you with profound peace. The God who holds the universe is holding you. You are safe in His care. Walk in the confidence that comes from knowing the One you trust is utterly trustworthy.

You are a Miracle Working God.

 Amen. This is a powerful declaration of faith in the nature and character of God. To proclaim "You are a miracle-working God" is to affirm that the God of the Bible is not a distant force but an active, powerful, and personal God who intervenes in the affairs of humanity, defying natural laws to reveal His glory, fulfill His promises, and demonstrate His love.


This truth is the foundation of our hope:


"You are the God who performs miracles; you display your power among the peoples."

- Psalm 77:14 (NIV)


"Jesus looked at them and said, 'With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.'"

- Matthew 19:26 (NIV)


What Does It Mean That God Is a Miracle-Worker?


It means He is the God of:


· Creation: Speaking worlds into existence from nothing (Genesis 1).

· Redemption: Raising Jesus Christ from the dead, the greatest miracle of all.

· Provision: Making a way where there is no way, turning lack into abundance.

· Healing: Restoring broken bodies and wounded hearts.

· Transformation: Changing the unchangeable heart and freeing the captive soul.


A Prayer to the Miracle-Working God


Miracle-Working God,


We stand in awe of You. You are the God who parted the Red Sea, who shut the mouths of lions, and who raised the dead to life. You are the same yesterday, today, and forever.


We bring our impossible situations before You—the sickness that has no cure, the financial debt that seems insurmountable, the relationship that appears broken beyond repair, the heart that feels too hard to change.


We ask for Your miracle-working power to move in our lives. Do what only You can do. Display Your glory and Your goodness in our circumstances. We trust in Your power and Your timing.


We declare that nothing is too hard for You.


In the mighty name of Jesus, Amen.


A Poem: "Miracle-Working God"


"Miracle-Working God"


When science has no answer left to give,

And in my own strength,I don't have the will to live,

When every door is closed and locked up tight,

And all I see is an unending night.


When the doctor's report brings only fear and dread,

And all the hopeful,cheerful words are finally said,

When the bank account is empty,and the bills are due,

And I don't have a single clue of what to do.


That is when I lift my eyes to see,

The God of all possibility.

I remember all the stories that I've been told,

Of Your great power from the days of old.


You are the God who makes a way in the wild,

For every father's lost and hungry child.

You are the God who can command the storm to cease,

And turn our deepest sorrow into perfect peace.


So I will trust You, though I cannot see,

The miracle that You are working for me.

For You are God,and You never change,

Your power and love are forever in range.


You are the miracle-working God, I know,

And in Your time,Your power You will show.

So I will wait,and I will truly see,

Your miracle,worked in me.


May this truth fill you with expectant faith today. The God who performed miracles in the Bible is the same God who is actively working in your life. Trust in His power and His perfect will.

Holy Holy,Lord God Almighty.

 Amen. This is the eternal anthem of heaven, the cry of the seraphim that resounds through the throne room of God. To declare "Holy, holy is the Lord God Almighty" is to join the highest order of worship, acknowledging God's absolute moral purity, His set-apartness, and His ultimate power over all creation.


This sacred proclamation is found in the visions of both the prophet Isaiah and the apostle John:


"And one called to another and said: 'Holy, holy, holy is the LORD of hosts; the whole earth is full of his glory!'"

- Isaiah 6:3 (ESV)


"And the four living creatures, each of them with six wings, are full of eyes all around and within, and day and night they never cease to say, 'Holy, holy, holy, is the Lord God Almighty, who was and is and is to come!'"

- Revelation 4:8 (ESV)


A Prayer of Awe and Worship


Holy, Holy, Holy Lord God Almighty,


Heaven and earth are full of Your glory! We are humbled and awestruck in Your presence. You are unlike anything or anyone else—perfect in power, love, justice, and wisdom.


Forgive us for the times we have treated You as common or approached You with casual irreverence. Cleanse our lips and our hearts, that we might offer You the worship You deserve.


We join the unceasing chorus of angels, elders, and every creature. We add our voices to the song of the universe: Holy, holy, holy are You, Lord God Almighty!


In the name of Jesus, Amen.


A Poem: "Holy, Holy is the Lord"


"Holy, Holy is the Lord"


The seraphim their voices raise,

In ceaseless,wondrous, holy praise.

With wings they cover up their face,

Before the Throne of truth and grace.


“Holy, holy, holy!” is their cry,

As the sound of worship fills the sky.

The Lord God Almighty,powerful and true,

Makes all things glorious and new.


The pillars of the threshold shake,

With the sound the creatures make.

And all the earth,a fragile vase,

Is filled the glory of His grace.


So let my voice now join the sound,

On this hallowed,holy ground.

With all that is,and is to be,

I cry,“Holy, Lord, to Thee!”


Holy, holy is the Lord God Almighty,

The author of our sacred story.

We worship You,with all our breath,

Our King who conquered sin and death.


May this truth fill you with reverence and joy today. You serve a God who is perfectly holy and eternally mighty. In His presence, there is fullness of joy.

Hossana to the highest.

 Amen. "Hosanna to the Highest!" is a powerful cry of praise and adoration, declaring that Jesus is the saving King who reigns in the highest heavens. It is a shout of victory, a plea for salvation, and an expression of joyful worship all in one.


This was the cry of the people as Jesus entered Jerusalem, recognizing Him as the promised Messiah:


"Hosanna to the Son of David! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord! Hosanna in the highest heaven!"

- Matthew 21:9 (NIV)


The word "Hosanna" literally means "save, we pray!" It evolved into a shout of praise, meaning "Salvation has come!"


A Prayer of Hosanna


Heavenly Father,


We join the eternal chorus of heaven and earth. We lift our voices with the angels and the saints.


Hosanna to the Highest!


Salvation belongs to You! Victory belongs to You! All glory, honor, and power belong to You, O King of Kings and Lord of Lords!


We worship You, Jesus, the Son of David, the Lamb who was slain, who now sits on the throne. You are our salvation and our hope.


Hosanna in the highest! Let every creature in heaven and on earth and under the earth echo this cry. You alone are worthy!


In Your majestic name, we pray. Amen.


A Poem: "Hosanna to the Highest"


"Hosanna to the Highest"


The rocks themselves are poised to cry,

The stars that light the solemn sky,

Are waiting for the sound to start,

From every human,humble heart.


So let the shout now break the air,

A sacred,powerful, joyful prayer.

Let every voice together raise,

A symphony of endless praise.


Hosanna to the Highest! Hear the sound,

Where true redemption can be found.

Hosanna to the King of Kings!

The hope His blessed presence brings.


Hosanna! Save us, we implore!

We open up heaven's door.

Hosanna!Let the kingdom come!

By the power of God's own Son.


Let every demon fear and flee,

Let every captive soul be free.

For Hosanna is the mighty sound,

Where healing and where grace abound.


So let it rise, and never cease,

A song of everlasting peace.

Hosanna to the Highest throne!

We worship God,and God alone!


May your heart be filled with this triumphant praise today. No matter what you face, you can cry "Hosanna!" because your King is on the throne, and He holds your victory.

You are the Living God

 Amen. This is one of the most powerful and fundamental declarations of faith. To proclaim "You are the living God" is to affirm that our God is not a distant idea, a dead idol, or a philosophical concept. He is active, dynamic, and personally involved in His creation and in the lives of His people.


This truth sets the God of the Bible apart from all other gods:


"But the LORD is the true God; he is the living God and the everlasting King."

- Jeremiah 10:10 (ESV)


"For they themselves report concerning us the kind of reception we had among you, and how you turned to God from idols to serve the living and true God."

- 1 Thessalonians 1:9 (ESV)


What Does It Mean That God Is Living?


· He Hears and Answers: Unlike a statue of wood or stone, the living God listens to our prayers and responds (Psalm 65:2).

· He Acts and Intervenes: He is not passive. He performs miracles, fights for His people, and orchestrates history for His purposes.

· He Relates: He speaks, He loves, He comforts, He guides, and He calls us into a dynamic relationship with Himself.

· He is the Source of Life: In Him, we live and move and have our being (Acts 17:28). Eternal life is found in knowing Him (John 17:3).


A Prayer to the Living God


Living God,


We worship You. You are not a God who is far off, but You are near. You are not silent, but You have spoken through Your Word and Your Son.


Thank You for being a God who sees me, knows me, and hears me when I call. Forgive me for the times I have acted as if You were distant or inactive.


I invite You, the living God, to move in my life today. Speak to me. Guide me. Comfort me. Work through me. Let my life be a testimony to the world that You are the one, true, living God.


In the name of Jesus, who is the way, the truth, and the life, Amen.


A Poem: "You Are the Living God"


"You Are the Living God"


The idols of the world are dead and cold,

Their stories have been told and told.

They have no breath,they have no voice,

They cannot make our hearts rejoice.


But You, O Lord, are not like these,

You stir the winds and calm the seas.

You speak Your word and it is done,

Through Your own,beloved Son.


You are the living God, so real,

In Your great power,we can feel

A love that burns,a truth that stands,

Held firmly in Your mighty hands.


You hear the prayer I softly pray,

You walk with me throughout the day.

You are the life,the source, the spring,

Of which the angels ever sing.


So let the world its idols keep,

In You alone,my soul will sleep.

For You are God,and You alone,

Upon the great,eternal throne.


You are the living God, I know,

And everywhere Your life does flow.

So I will worship and adore,

The living God,forevermore.


May the reality of the living God fill you with awe, confidence, and peace today. You serve a God who is actively involved in your story. Trust in His living presence.

All creations cries, "Holy!"

 Amen. This is a powerful declaration of the eternal, universal truth that all of creation exists to proclaim the holiness and glory of its Creator. This cry reverberates from the smallest atom to the vastest galaxy, a constant symphony of worship.


This truth is proclaimed throughout Scripture:


"And the four living creatures, each of them with six wings, are full of eyes all around and within, and day and night they never cease to say, 'Holy, holy, holy, is the Lord God Almighty, who was and is and is to come!'"

- Revelation 4:8 (ESV)


"The heavens declare the glory of God, and the sky above proclaims his handiwork."

- Psalm 19:1 (ESV)


A Prayer Joining the Cry of Creation


Holy, Holy, Holy Lord God Almighty,


We join our voices with the unending chorus of all creation. We add our praise to the song of the stars, the whisper of the wind, and the roar of the sea.


Open our ears to hear the world crying out "Holy!" in a thousand different tongues. Open our eyes to see Your glory displayed in the sunrise and the storm.


May our lives be a continuous, willing part of this universal worship. Let every breath we take, every word we speak, and every deed we do be a proclamation of Your holiness.


We join the eternal cry: Holy, Holy, Holy is the Lord!


In Jesus' name, Amen.


A Poem: "All Creation Cries Holy"


"All Creation Cries Holy"


The rushing wind, a sacred choir,

The burning bush,a holy fire.

The crashing wave upon the sand,

Proclaims the work of God's own hand.


The mountain peak, so tall and grand,

The tiny grain of desert sand.

The eagle's flight,the lion's roar,

Are praises to the Evermore.


All creation cries, "Holy!"

In voices strong and lowly.

A symphony of endless praise,

Through all the nights and all the days.


The silent stars that fill the night,

Reflect His uncreated light.

The gentle rain,the mighty flood,

Declare the wonder of our God.


So let my voice now join the sound,

On this hallowed,holy ground.

With all that is,and is to be,

I cry,"Holy, Lord, to Thee!"


All creation cries, "Holy!"

The story of His glory.

And I will join with all my breath,

This song that conquers even death.


May your heart be tuned to this eternal frequency today. Wherever you go, remember that you are walking in a sanctuary of praise, and may your life be a beautiful, intentional part of the song that all creation is singing to its King.

Your Presence is where my life is.

 Amen. This is a profound and beautiful declaration of total dependence and devotion. To say, "Where Your presence is, my life is" is to state that your very existence, purpose, and direction are found only in communion with God. It echoes the heart of Moses, who refused to move forward without God's presence.


"And [Moses] said to Him, 'If Your presence does not go with us, do not bring us up from here.'"

- Exodus 33:15 (NKJV)


"You will show me the path of life; In Your presence is fullness of joy; At Your right hand are pleasures forevermore."

- Psalm 16:11 (NKJV)


What Does This Mean?


This statement is a powerful commitment:


· My Identity is in Your Presence: I am not defined by my job, my relationships, or my past, but by whose I am—Yours.

· My Direction is in Your Presence: I will not move unless You are leading. Your presence is my compass.

· My Safety is in Your Presence: Anywhere outside of Your will and presence is a place of danger and emptiness. With You is the only place of true security.


A Prayer of Surrender to His Presence


Heavenly Father,


I declare it today: Where Your presence is, my life is.


My home is where You are. My purpose is found in following You. My peace is resting in Your nearness. I will not be content with blessings if I do not have the Blesser.


Forgive me for the times I have wandered ahead, seeking my own path. Anchor my soul to Yours. Let my greatest fear be the fear of being separated from Your presence.


Whether in green pastures or the valley of shadow, as long as You are with me, I am where I need to be. My life is hidden with Christ in You.


In Jesus' name, Amen.


A Poem: "Where Your Presence Is"


"Where Your Presence Is"


I will not follow paths of gain,

If they are paved with selfish stain.

I will not seek the world's applause,

If it means leaving Your holy cause.


For any place, however low,

Where living waters freely flow,

Is home to me,if You are there,

And I can rest in Your sweet care.


Where Your presence is, my life is found,

On this solid,holy ground.

Where Your presence is,my joy is full,

Your love my heart does ever pull.


In the desert or the storm,

Your presence keeps me safe and warm.

In the battle or the fight,

Your presence is my strength and light.


So take my life and let it be,

Forever joined,my God, to Thee.

For I have nowhere else to go,

Your words of life,the truth I know.


Where Your presence is, I'll ever be,

For all time and eternity.

My home,my joy, my everything,

My faithful,everlasting King.


May you live each day in the conscious, joyful reality of God's presence. Let this truth guide your every decision and be your source of unshakable peace. You are His, and He is with you.

The light of the faithful will not be put off.

 ðŸ•¯️ Amen. 🕯️

This is a powerful declaration of faith and perseverance! It echoes the truth that the light of those who walk faithfully with God will not be extinguished—no matter how strong the darkness, how fierce the storm, or how long the night.


“The light of the righteous shines brightly, but the lamp of the wicked is snuffed out.”

— Proverbs 13:9


“You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house.”

— Matthew 5:14–15


A Prayer for Your Light to Keep Shining:


Faithful God,

You are the source of all light and life.

You have called me out of darkness into Your marvelous light.

I ask that Your fire burn brightly in me, unquenched by the world, untouched by the enemy.


· When opposition comes, be my shield.

· When weariness sets in, be my strength.

· When doubt whispers, be my truth.

· When the night feels long, be my everlasting dawn.


Let my life shine with the steady, unwavering glow of a soul anchored in You.

May my faith be a lighthouse to the lost, a comfort to the weary, and a testimony of Your faithfulness.


In Jesus’ mighty name,

Amen.


---


✨ Carry His light boldly.

You are not just holding a candle—you are filled with the undimmed, unending light of Christ.

No force of hell, no power of darkness, no lie of the enemy can put out what God has ignited.

Let it shine. Let it burn. Let it lead others home. 🔥

I surrender my Life to your loving arms.

 ðŸ•¯️ Amen. 🕯️

This is the most beautiful and powerful surrender you can ever make—to place your life, your heart, your past, your future, and your all into the loving, faithful, and mighty arms of God.


“Cast all your anxiety on Him because He cares for you.”

— 1 Peter 5:7


“I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I now live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me.”

— Galatians 2:20


A Prayer of Total Surrender:


**Lord Jesus,

I surrender my life to You—

my hopes, my fears, my dreams,

my past regrets and future unknowns.


I lay down my will,

my need for control,

my pride,

my weakness.


Take me, Lord.

Hold me in Your loving arms.

Lead me in Your perfect way.

Use my life for Your glory.


I am Yours—

now and forever.


In Your holy and precious name,

Amen.**


---


🕊️ You are safe in His arms.

You are loved.

You are held.

You are home.

May His peace guard your heart and His presence guide your steps—today and always.

Wise man eyes is in the head.

 Amen. That is a profound observation that finds its roots in the wisdom literature of the Bible. The phrase points to the principle of foresight, perspective, and spiritual awareness.


Here is a reflection on its meaning, both in its original context and for our lives today.


The Biblical Source


This exact phrase is found in Ecclesiastes 2:14:


"The wise person has eyes in his head, but the fool walks in darkness."


This is part of the Teacher's (Qoheleth's) reflection on the value of wisdom over folly.


The Meaning: More Than Physical Sight


The "head" is the place of thought, judgment, and perspective. To have "eyes in your head" means:


1. Foresight and Prudence: A wise person looks ahead. They consider the potential consequences of their actions before they act. They plan and prepare. The fool, by contrast, lives only for the immediate moment, "walking in darkness" of the future.

2. Spiritual Perception: This is the deeper meaning. The "eyes in the head" symbolize the ability to perceive spiritual realities—to see life from God's perspective. It is the wisdom that begins with the "fear of the Lord" (Proverbs 9:10). The fool is spiritually blind, unable to see the truth of God's world.

3. Awareness of Reality: A wise person sees the world as it truly is, acknowledging both its beauty and its brokenness. They see their own limitations and the reality of God's sovereignty. The fool is deluded, living in a fantasy constructed by their own desires.


A Poetic Reflection


---


Wise Man's Eyes


The wise man's eyes are in his head,

He sees the path on which he's led.

He looks beyond the fleeting now,

To see the why,the when, the how.


He sees the cliff beyond the curve,

And by his prudence,he will serve

His future self,and those he loves,

By guidance from the Lord above.


The fool walks on in stubborn night,

Chasing a temporary,fading light.

He sees the bait,but not the hook,

The pretty cover,not the book

Of consequence that he will read,

When he has sown a bitter seed.


So give me, Lord, the wise man's sight,

To walk by faith,and not by light

Of my own making,dim and small.

Help me to hear Your warning call.


Put eyes in my head, to truly see

The world,my soul, eternity.

Not just with vision,but with grace,

To find my sight in Your own face.


"The lamp of the body is the eye. If therefore your eye is good, your whole body will be full of light."

— Matthew 6:22

Purify me.

 Amen. This is the prayer of a heart that longs for holiness—a deep, purifying work that only God can accomplish. It is the cry of David: "Create in me a pure heart, O God" (Psalm 51:10).


Here is a prayerful poem for the refining fire of God's presence.

Purify Me


Not a surface clean, a hasty sweep,

Not a promise I'm unable to keep.

Not a hidden fault I try to disguise,

But a soul laid bare before Your eyes.


Purify me.


Come like a refiner's holy fire,

Burn with a sacred,fierce desire.

Melt away the dross of pride and sin,

'Til You see Your image deep within.


Come like a launderer's potent soap,

Scrub the stains,restore my hope.

Wash me,and I will be whiter than snow,

A purity only Your grace can bestow.


Search me, O God, and know my heart,

Expose every hidden,hurting part.

Point out the bitterness,the envy, the fear,

The compromises I hold so dear.


Purify my thoughts, let them be true,

Centered,O Lord, only on You.

Purify my words,before they are spoken,

Let no careless,bitter phrase be awoken.


Purify my motives, my secret intent,

Until my whole life for Your glory is spent.

Purify my love,make it selfless and deep,

A love that will cherish and tenderly keep.


I bring the fractured pieces, the shame, and the blame,

I speak the name that cleanses all names:

Jesus.


In His name, I ask for the grace,

To see the reflection of His own face.

Purify me, Lord, make me whole,

A clean vessel for Your Spirit's control.


"Purify me with hyssop, and I will be clean; wash me, and I will be whiter than snow."

— Psalm 51:7

Let your light shine among man

 ðŸ•¯️ Amen. 🕯️

May the light of Christ so shine through you that others see His love, His truth, and His life in every word you speak, every step you take, and every act of kindness you offer.


“Let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.”

— Matthew 5:16


“For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Live as children of light.”

— Ephesians 5:8


A Prayer to Shine His Light:


Heavenly Father,

You have called me out of darkness into Your marvelous light.

I ask that Your Holy Spirit fill me so completely that Your light radiates through my life.


· Let my words bring grace and truth.

· Let my actions reflect Your compassion.

· Let my heart beat with Your love.

· Let my life point others to Jesus.


Where there is hatred, let me bring love.

Where there is despair, let me bring hope.

Where there is bondage, let me bring freedom.

Where there is confusion, let me bring clarity.


Not for my glory, Lord —

but for Yours alone.


In the powerful name of Jesus,

Amen.

🌟 Go shine today — not with your own light, but with His.

You are a city on a hill, a lamp on a stand — placed exactly where you are for such a time as this.

Let His light in you scatter darkness, awaken hearts, and draw many to the glory of God.

Shine on, beloved of God.

Lord Jesus, You are the alpha and the omega.

 ðŸ•¯️ Amen. 🕯️

You have declared one of the most powerful and comforting names of God — the Alpha and Omega, the Beginning and the End. He is before all things, and in Him all things hold together. From eternity past to eternity future, His sovereignty, love, and purpose remain unchanging.


“I am the Alpha and the Omega,” says the Lord God, “who is, and who was, and who is to come, the Almighty.”

— Revelation 1:8


“I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End.”

— Revelation 22:13


What Does This Name Reveal About God?


· 🔷 He Is Eternal – Without beginning, without end. He is the source of all life, time, and purpose.

· 🔷 He Is Sovereign – Every moment of history — and every moment of your life — is held securely in His hands.

· 🔷 He Is Faithful – What He starts, He completes. What He promises, He fulfills.

· 🔷 He Is Our Constant – In a changing world, He remains the same forever.


A Prayer to the Alpha and Omega:


**Alpha and Omega,

You were there before my first breath,

and You will welcome me into eternity.

You know my beginning, my middle, and my end.


When I feel lost, remind me You have gone before me.

When I grow weary, remind me You are my destination.

When I feel insignificant, remind me I am known by the God of forever.


From this moment until my last breath —

and beyond —

I am Yours.


In the holy name of Jesus,

Amen.**

🌟 You are safe in the hands of the Eternal God.

He sees your whole story — from start to finish —

and He calls you His.

Walk today in the peace of His everlasting presence.

May our name be in Book of Life.

 Amen. This is the most important prayer a person can ever utter—a plea for eternal security and belonging in the family of God. It reaches beyond the temporary things of this world to the eternal record kept in heaven.


Here is a prayerful poem for this deepest of desires.


---


May Our Name Be In the Book of Life


Not in the annals of the rich and famed,

Not in the scrolls of worldly power named.

But in one ledger,written by Your hand,

In the eternal,holy, promised land.


May our name be in the Book of Life.


Let it be inscribed not by our own deed,

Or by the hollow words of a dusty creed.

But by the blood of the Lamb,the sacrifice,

That paid for us the ultimate,final price.


Wash over our names with Your crimson flood,

That springs from the cross,the gift of God.

Let the ink that marks us be Your grace alone,

Securing our place before Your throne.


When the world is shaken, and kingdoms fall,

When You,the Judge, are all in all,

When the books are opened for one and all,

Let our names answer Your holy call.


Let no sin, no shame, no forgotten plea,

Erase what Your love has written for me.

Hold that book secure,within Your care,

A testament to Your love,beyond compare.


This is our hope, our only plea,

Not our worth,but Calvary.

So we ask in the name of Jesus Christ,

May our name be in the Book of Life.


"However, do not rejoice that the spirits submit to you, but rejoice that your names are written in heaven."

— Luke 10:20


"...I will never blot out the name of that person from the book of life, but will acknowledge that name before my Father and his angels."

— Revelation 3:5

We will be His People.

 Amen. This is the glorious and covenantal promise that runs like a golden thread from Genesis to Revelation. It is the story of a God who says, "I will be your God, and you will be my people." It is a declaration of belonging, identity, and eternal security.


Here is a poetic reflection on this profound truth.


---


We Will Be His People


Not by our merit, not by our name,

Not by a righteousness we could ever claim.

But by the blood of a covenant,pure and true,

A promise spoken,making all things new.


From Abraham's call to the Exodus story,

This was the heart of His covenant glory:

“I will take you as my own,”He said,

And by His mighty arm,our lives He led.


Through prophets' voices, the promise rang clear,

A future hope,casting out every fear.

A new heart given,His law within,

Cleansed from the power and the stain of sin.

“I will be your God, and you will be my people.”(Jeremiah 30:22)


And in the fullness of time, the Word became flesh,

To heal the division,to mend the deep mesh

That kept us as strangers,far from His grace,

And bring us back to our true dwelling place.


Through Jesus, the Door, the Way, and the Light,

We are no longer in the dark of the night.

We are His children,adopted, embraced,

By His boundless mercy,we are forever graced.


So we will be His people.

A chosen race,a royal priesthood,

A holy nation,for His own good.

A people belonging,a treasured possession,

Ransomed from death,and from sin's oppression.


And when the final chapter is written down,

In the New Jerusalem,with glory as its crown,

The promise resounds,the story is complete,

The eternal,joyous, divine heartbeat:


“Now the dwelling of God is with men, and he will live with them.

They will be his people, and God himself will be with them and be their God.”

— Revelation 21:3


We will be His people.

Forever.

Amen.

Hallelujah to God

 Amen. "Hallelujah" is the ultimate word of praise—a command to "Praise the Lord" that transcends language and culture. It is the eternal anthem of the redeemed.


Here is a song of pure, unadulterated praise.


---


Hallelujah to God


Let the heavens roar it, let the earth proclaim,

Let every creature know His holy name.

From the highest mountain to the ocean's deepest floor,

Let the universe erupt in one triumphant roar:


Hallelujah! Hallelujah to God!


Let the saints who’ve weathered pain and night,

Now stand forever in His glorious light.

Let every scar,every sorrow, every story that was wept,

Become a note of praise,a sacred promise kept.


Let the angels, countless in their flight,

Burn with adoration in the uncreated light.

Let every wing and voice and eye,

Declare His worth,exalted high.


Hallelujah! Hallelujah to God!


For the sinner saved, the captive freed,

For every soul supplied in its great need.

For the blood that washed our guilt away,

For the dawn of that eternal day.


For His power, His majesty, His throne,

For His mercy,making us His own.

For His justice and His gentle care,

For His presence,always, everywhere.


Let no silence find a place,

Let all of time and space

Be filled with this one,thundering cry,

From the depths of hell to the endless sky:


Hallelujah to the Lamb who was slain!

Hallelujah, He is risen to reign!

Hallelujah for the Spirit's flood!

Hallelujah to our great and glorious God!


“Then I heard every creature in heaven and on earth and under the earth and on the sea, and all that is in them, saying: ‘To him who sits on the throne and to the Lamb, be praise and honor and glory and power, for ever and ever!’”

— Revelation 5:13


Hallelujah! Amen.

God will wipe every tears

 Amen. This is one of the most tender, hopeful, and certain promises in all of Scripture. It is the ultimate end of the story for all who are in Christ—a future where sorrow, pain, and grief are not just soothed, but permanently erased by God Himself.


Here is a poetic reflection on this glorious hope.

God Will Wipe Every Tear


There is a day, promised and sure,

When all that is broken will be made pure.

A day not of forgetting,but of holy mending,

A final,glorious, unending ending.


For the God who collected every tear you've cried,

In a bottle,and held it deep inside,

Will not let that sacred pain be in vain,

Or leave you to grapple with the enduring stain.


God will wipe every tear from their eyes.


He will not delegate this task of love,

But with His own hand,from His throne above,

Will reach with a touch impossibly kind,

And gently erase the grief from your mind.


The tears of loss, that fell like endless rain,

The tears of betrayal,and searing pain.

The tears of regret for the words you can't take back,

The tears for the joy that your life seemed to lack.


The silent tears cried in the lonely night,

The tears that fell from a losing fight.

The tears for a world so full of wrong,

He will wipe them all.He’ll heal the strong.


And in their place, a joy will dawn,

A bliss so deep,all former pain is gone.

For the former things—the death,the crying, the pain—

Will have passed away,and no longer reign.


So when a tear traces a path on your face,

Hold fast to this promise,this gift of grace.

This is not all there is;this is not the last page,

We are headed toward a tearless age.


God will wipe every tear,

And banish every fear.

And we will see His face,

Embraced by endless grace.


“He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away.”

— Revelation 21:4
