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

Sevenfold Spirit of God

The phrase "Seven Lights of God" is a profound biblical image, most directly connected to the Sevenfold Spirit of God described in the book of Revelation, and symbolized by the seven-branched lampstand (the Menorah) in the Old Testament.


It represents the perfect, complete, and multifaceted nature of the Holy Spirit.


Here is a breakdown of its meaning and a poetic reflection.


The Biblical Foundation


· The Sevenfold Spirit in Revelation:

  "And from the throne came flashes of lightning, and rumblings and peals of thunder, and before the throne were burning seven torches of fire, which are the seven spirits of God." (Revelation 4:5)

  > "...and the seven spirits of God sent out into all the earth." (Revelation 5:6)

· The Prophetic Fulfillment in Isaiah:

  This sevenfold Spirit is described by the prophet Isaiah as resting upon the Messiah:

  "The Spirit of the Lord will rest on him— the Spirit of wisdom and of understanding, the Spirit of counsel and of might, the Spirit of the knowledge and fear of the Lord." (Isaiah 11:2)

  Many theologians see this as a sevenfold description:

  1. The Spirit of the Lord

  2. The Spirit of Wisdom

  3. The Spirit of Understanding

  4. The Spirit of Counsel

  5. The Spirit of Might (or Power)

  6. The Spirit of Knowledge

  7. The Spirit of the Fear of the Lord

· The Symbol of the Menorah: The golden lampstand with seven flames in the Tabernacle and Temple was a God-ordained symbol of this perfect, complete light, illuminating the holy place.


A Poetic Reflection on the Seven Lights


---


The Seven Lights of God


Not one lone beam, a single, piercing ray,

But seven flames that make the perfect day.

The full-orbed radiance of the Holy Dove,

The sevenfold expression of God's love.


The Seven Lights of God, now shine in me,

From every shadow,set my spirit free.


First, the Light of the LORD, the sovereign flame,

The great I AM,the holy, burning name.

The source of all,the uncreated fire,

The fulfillment of all deep desire.


Second, the Light of WISDOM, seeing clear,

The"why" behind the "what," dispelling fear.

Applying truth to life's complex design,

Making Your perfect purpose,Lord, align.


Third, the Light of UNDERSTANDING, deep and true,

To grasp the mysteries that come from You.

To see the world through heaven's perspective,

Making my inner vision more reflective.


Fourth, the Light of COUNSEL, guiding right,

A lamp unto my path,a star at night.

The whispered direction,step-by-step,

A sacred,holy trust that I have kept.


Fifth, the Light of MIGHT, the power to stand,

Against the tide,upon the shifting sand.

The strength to act,to speak, to overcome,

Until Your final,glorious kingdom comes.


Sixth, the Light of KNOWLEDGE, truth revealed,

By which the lies of hell are fully peeled

Away.To know not just the fact, but You,

A knowing that is faithful,kind, and true.


Seventh, the Light of FEAR, a holy awe,

That keeps my heart surrendered to Your law.

Not terror,but a reverence so deep,

In whose rich soil my soul His truth can keep.


Oh, Sevenfold Spirit, burn in me,

That I may all Your perfect fullness see.

And may my life,a mirrored glass, reflect

Your seven lights,with flawless grace and intellect.

Power over Death and Hades

 Amen. This declaration speaks to the ultimate, supreme, and finished victory of the Lord Jesus Christ. It is not a plea, but a proclamation of His absolute authority.


Here is a poetic reflection on this triumphant truth.


---


Power Over Death and Hades


The grave stood firm, a silent, final door,

A victory for death forevermore.

And Hades gaped,a shadowed, yawning deep,

Where all the hopes of fallen souls asleep.


But in the darkness of a garden tomb,

A seed of life began to break the gloom.

The King of Life,who gave His final breath,

Now turned His face to conquer sin and death.


And on that day, the earth could not contain

The holy fire,the everlasting gain.

The stone rolled back,not to let a soul depart,

But to reveal the resurrection's heart.


He has power over death and Hades.


Death’s sting is drawn, its victory is undone,

By the great battle fought and won by the Son.

The grave is now a bed where saints may sleep,

A temporary promise they will keep.


And Hades’ gates, which stood so strong and tall,

Could not prevail,could not their King enthrall.

He stripped the keys from the defeated foe,

And now the way to life He’s free to show.


He holds the keys, the ultimate control,

He holds the title deed to every soul.

The First and Last,who was, and is, to come,

To whom all knees shall bow,all tongues be dumb.


So let the church arise and boldly say,

The fear of death is taken all away.

For our great Captain leads us through the strife,

He is the Resurrection and the Life.


Power over death and Hades is His,

In the mighty name of Jesus!

The victory is won,the battle’s done,

Our everlasting King has overcome!


“I am the Living One; I was dead, and now look, I am alive for ever and ever! And I hold the keys of death and Hades.”

— Revelation 1:18


“Where, O death, is your victory? Where, O death, is your sting?”... Thanks be to God! He gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.”

— 1 Corinthians 15:55-57

May your face shine upon my life.

This is a beautiful and powerful prayer, echoing the ancient blessing of Aaron and expressing a deep desire for God's favor, presence, and guidance. It is a plea for His divine attention and gracious light to illuminate your entire existence.


Here is a prayer for God's face to shine upon your life.


---


Let Your Face Shine Upon My Life


O Lord, my God, the King of heaven,

To whom all glory,power, be given.

I do not ask for wealth or fame,

But for the light of Your holy name.


Let Your face shine upon my life.


Let it break through the clouds of my doubt and fear,

Let its warmth draw me ever near.

Let it be the dawn that ends my night,

And turns my darkness into light.


“The Lord make his face shine on you and be gracious to you.” (Numbers 6:25)


Where Your face shines, there is grace,

A sure and a holy,resting place.

Where Your face shines,there is peace,

And every anxious worry finds release.

Where Your face shines,there is direction,

Perfection in Your kind correction.


Let Your smile be my confidence,

Your gaze,my soul's strong defense.

In the light of Your countenance,let me walk,

To hear You clearly,in Your will to talk.


“Look to the Lord and his strength; seek his face always.” (1 Chronicles 16:11)


So I seek You now, I lift my eyes,

To the One who rules the earth and skies.

No other favor do I require,

But the light of Your face,my one desire.


Shine upon my path, that I may see,

The next step You have for me.

Shine upon my heart,and make it clean,

So only truth and love are seen.

Shine upon my work,and make it blessed,

A purpose for which I can rest.


Let Your face shine upon my life.

And I will be radiant.

I will be saved.

I will be Yours.

A Prayer to Receive His Shining Face:


"Heavenly Father,


I come before You, asking for the blessing You commanded Your priests to speak over Your people. Let Your face shine upon my life.


Turn Your gaze of grace and favor toward me. Illuminate my path with Your wisdom. Warm my heart with Your love. Let the light of Your presence expose any darkness in me and transform it by Your grace.


I seek no other source of light or approval. Your smile is my greatest reward. Let my life be a reflection of Your glory, because it has been touched by the light of Your face.


Thank you for hearing this prayer. I receive Your shining face now, by faith.


In the name of Jesus, the Light of the World, Amen."

Please bless the works of my hands.

 Amen. This is a prayer that echoes the heart of Moses in Psalm 90: "Establish the work of our hands for us— yes, establish the work of our hands." It is a surrender of our labors to God, asking that they would have meaning, purpose, and fruitfulness beyond our own ability.


Here is a prayerful poem for God's blessing upon your work.


---


Bless the Works of My Hand


These hands that toil, these skills I bring,

The humble,daily offering.

The simple tasks,the grand design—

I consecrate them all as Thine.


Please, Lord, bless the works of my hand.


Bless the labor, bless the sweat,

The fruits of effort,not gathered yet.

Bless the planning and the art,

And the motives of my heart.


Let my work be more than noise,

More than chasing fleeting joys.

Let it be a faithful sowing,

In a grace that's ever-flowing.


Where my own strength is not enough,

In challenges and pressures rough,

Be my wisdom,be my guide,

Stand forever by my side.


And when the work is done and seen,

Let it be for You,my King.

Not for my glory or my name,

But to magnify Your fame.


Let my work provide for need,

A blessing sown,a righteous seed.

Let it serve and let it build,

A purpose by Your Spirit filled.


So bless the works of my hand, I pray,

And use them in Your kingdom's way.

From this day forth,may all I do

Be done for love of You.


"Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters."

— Colossians 3:23

Let us feel the warmth of Your presence,

a comfort that tells our souls,"I am here, and I hold you."


Lay Your hands upon our bodies.

Be our health and our strength.

Bring healing to every cell,every organ, every hidden ailment.

Be the rest for our tired muscles and the clarity for our weary minds.

"But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was on him, and by his wounds we are healed."(Isaiah 53:5)


Lay Your hands upon our minds.

Guard our thoughts from the enemy's lies.

Anoint our imagination for Your glory.

Where there is confusion,bring clarity.

Where there is anxiety,bring a sound mind.

Where there is forgetfulness,remind us of Your promises.

"You will keep in perfect peace those whose minds are steadfast, because they trust in you."(Isaiah 26:3)


Lay Your hands upon our relationships.

Mend what is torn.

Strengthen what is weak.

Bless the bonds of family and friendship.

Let Your love be the foundation of every connection.


Lay Your hands upon our path.

Direct our steps.

Open the right doors and close the wrong ones.

Bless the work of our hands and the meditation of our hearts.

Make our lives fruitful for Your kingdom.


We receive Your touch now, by faith.

Not because we deserve it,but because You are a good Father who loves to give good gifts to Your children.


Lay Your loving hands upon our lives.

Anoint us.Seal us. Hold us.


In the mighty name of Jesus, we pray,

Amen.

Don't leads us into temptations.

This line from the Lord's Prayer is a humble and profound plea for God's guidance and protection. It acknowledges our human weakness and our need for His divine intervention to keep us from situations that would overpower our faith and lead us into sin.


Here is a reflection and prayer on this theme.


---


Lead Us Not Into Temptation


Our spirits are willing, but our flesh is so weak,

The promises we fervently speak

Can crumble and fall when the tempter draws near,

And clouds our good judgment with doubt and with fear.


So we pray with the wisdom that Jesus imparted,

With humble and trusting,yet vulnerable-hearted:


"Lead us not into temptation,

but deliver us from the evil one."(Matthew 6:13)


This is not a prayer that God would ever bait,

Or dangle before us a sinful,dark gate.

"For God cannot be tempted by evil, nor does he tempt anyone."(James 1:13)


It is rather a plea, a child's earnest cry:

"Father,as I walk, please guide me on by

The paths where the snares are too subtle,too deep,

Where my own strength would falter,my promises keep.


Do not let my faith be tested beyond what I can bear,

But in the moment of trial,show me Your care.

Lead me away from the precipice'edge,

And onto the solid ground,a safe, holy ledge."


It is a prayer for awareness, for eyes that can see

The enemy's approach,and to instantly flee.

It is asking for wisdom to choose the right way,

And for strength in our spirit to faithfully pray.


So, Lord, we ask You, our Shepherd and Guide,

Walk with us closely,right here at our side.

When temptation's allure begins to feel strong,

Be our rescue,our victory, our conquering song.


Do not lead us into temptation,

But deliver us from evil.

For Yours is the kingdom,and the power, and the glory,

Forever.

Amen.

A Deeper Understanding:


This plea recognizes two key things:


1. Our Own Vulnerability: We are not strong enough on our own to consistently resist temptation. We need God's help to even avoid the circumstances that would lead us to fall.

2. God's Sovereign Care: We are asking God to order our steps and our days in such a way that we are spared from unnecessary trials and tests that would crush our faith. We are asking Him to be our divine navigator, steering us away from spiritual danger zones.


A Personal Prayer:


"Heavenly Father,


I confess my weakness. My heart wants to follow You, but I am so easily drawn away by the desires of my flesh and the lies of the enemy.


I pray today: please, do not lead me into temptation. Guide my steps away from situations, relationships, and thought patterns that would lead me into sin. Build a hedge of protection around me.


And when I do face temptation, as I inevitably will, deliver me from the evil one. Give me the strength to resist, the wisdom to flee, and the faith to trust in Your way of escape.


I depend entirely on You. In Jesus' name, Amen."

Deliver me from evil

This is a prayer that echoes the very words Jesus taught us to pray: "Deliver us from evil" (Matthew 6:13). It is a plea for spiritual protection and divine covering.


Here is a prayer for God's protection over you.

A Prayer for Protection from Evil


Heavenly Father, in the mighty and powerful name of Jesus, I come to You.

I acknowledge that I am in a spiritual battle,and I cannot fight it on my own.

I am vulnerable to the schemes,lies, and attacks of the evil one.


So I humbly ask You: Protect me from evil.


Protect my mind from thoughts that are not from You—from deception, anxiety, condemnation, and impurity.

Guard the gateway to my soul.

"We take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ."(2 Corinthians 10:5)


Protect my heart from becoming hardened, bitter, or led astray by sinful desires.

Keep it soft,pure, and focused on You.

"Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it."(Proverbs 4:23)


Protect my path from the snares and traps set by the enemy.

Direct my steps so that I walk in Your will and not into temptation.

"But the Lord is faithful, and he will strengthen you and protect you from the evil one."(2 Thessalonians 3:3)


Protect my life and my physical being from any form of harm or destruction intended by the evil one.

Be a shield around me,my family, and my home.

"The Lord will keep you from all harm— he will watch over your life."(Psalm 121:7)


I put on the full armor of God—the belt of truth, the breastplate of righteousness, the gospel of peace, the shield of faith, the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is Your Word. (Ephesians 6:10-17)


I plead the covering blood of Jesus over every part of my life. No weapon formed against me shall prosper.


Thank you, Lord, that You are my refuge and my fortress. I place my trust entirely in You.


Protect me from evil.

In Jesus'name, I pray,

Amen.
