Lord, Please heal my afflictions.

 Here is a tender prayer poem and a collection of scriptures for the one who cries out for healing from the Great Physician.

Heal Me, Lord

Heal my affliction, Lord, I pray,

Wash the pain and fear away.

My body aches, my spirit groans,

I come to You—and You alone.

You see the wounds no one can see,

The hidden pain inside of me.

The tears I cry when no one's near,

Lord, You collect them, hold them dear.

Heal my body, heal my soul,

Make my fragmented spirit whole.

Where sickness lingers, come and mend,

Let Your healing power descend.

Not just the flesh, but deeper still,

The wounded heart that struggles still.

The doubts that plague, the fears that bind,

Bring healing, Lord, to heart and mind.

I trust Your timing, trust Your way,

Trust You know best when to say,

"Yes, be healed," or "Wait, my child,"

Or "In this pain, I'm reconciled."

For even if the healing tarries,

Even if the burden carries,

Your grace is sufficient, Your love is true,

And Lord, I give my life to You.

Heal my affliction, make me new,

And give me strength to trust in You.

In Jesus' name, I humbly plead,

According to my faith, let it be.

Scripture for Healing

The Lord Who Heals You:

"He said, 'If you listen carefully to the Lord your God and do what is right in his eyes, if you pay attention to his commands and keep all his decrees, I will not bring on you any of the diseases I brought on the Egyptians, for I am the Lord, who heals you.'" (Exodus 15:26)

"He sent out his word and healed them; he rescued them from the grave." (Psalm 107:20)

My Grace Is Sufficient:

"But he said to me, 'My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.' Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on me." (2 Corinthians 12:9) — sometimes the healing comes in the strength to endure.

"Then Peter said, 'Silver or gold I do not have, but what I do have I give you. In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, walk.'" (Acts 3:6)

He Will Wipe Every Tear:

"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) — the ultimate healing.

A Prayer for Healing

Lord Jesus,

You healed the sick, gave sight to the blind,

and comforted all who came to You in faith.

I come to You now with my own affliction.

You know my pain, You see my tears.

Touch me with Your healing hand.

Restore my body, calm my mind, and renew my spirit.

Give me patience in the waiting,

faith in the uncertainty,

and peace in the pain.

I trust in Your perfect will for my life.

Heal me, Lord, according to Your great love.

In Your precious name I pray,

Amen.

Psalm 118:8 Better to take Refuge in the Lord.

 Better to Trust

Psalm 118:8 Extended

It is better to take refuge in the Lord

Than to trust in the shifting words of man.

For the arm of flesh will fail you,

But the arm of God will hold you to its plan.

It is better to take refuge in the Lord than to trust in humans. (Psalm 118:8, NIV)

I have trusted in the promises of mortal tongues,

In the assurances of those who walk on clay.

I have leaned on strength that wavered,

On love that faded with the passing of the day.

They meant well, those who offered me their hand.

They spoke with honest hearts and pure intent.

But they are dust, as I am dust,

And dust cannot prevent

The storms that come, the winds that blow,

The trials that rise and swell.

They wanted to be there for me—

They simply could not quell

The forces that are greater than the strength of mortal men.

Do not put your trust in princes, in human beings, who cannot save. (Psalm 146:3)

But You, O Lord—You are not bound by weakness.

You do not grow weary, nor do You forget.

Your love is not a passing emotion,

Your promises are not a debt

That You might fail to pay when circumstances change.

You are the same yesterday, today, forever—

Unchanging, unshakeable, beyond all mortal range.

It is better to take refuge in the Lord

Than to put confidence in any earthly thing.

For the earth will pass away, the mountains will crumble,

The stars will fall, the seas will cease to sing—

But You remain. You are the Rock,

The Fortress, the Deliverer, the Tower.

In You, I find my safe abode,

My shelter and my power.

Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding. (Proverbs 3:5)

I have learned this lesson in the valley,

In the night when no one heard my cry.

I learned it in the fire, in the flood,

When every human hope had withered and gone dry.

It was then that You drew near,

When no one else could come.

It was then I learned that trusting man

Leaves the soul empty and numb.

It is better to take refuge in the Lord.

I say it now, and I will say it again:

Better to rest in His unchanging love

Than to lean on the fragile arm of men.

Better to hide beneath His wings

Than to seek shelter in a human tent.

For man's protection is temporary,

But God's embrace is permanent.

Some trust in chariots and some in horses, but we trust in the name of the Lord our God. (Psalm 20:7)

So I will place my trust in You alone,

My Refuge, my Strength, my Shield.

No human hand can hold me like Your own,

No mortal love can match what You have revealed.

You are the God who never fails,

Who never leaves, who never lies.

And in the shelter of Your grace,

My soul forever finds its paradise.

It is better—far better—to take refuge in the Lord.

This I know. This I proclaim.

Not because I've never trusted man,

But because I've learned the shame

Of leaning on a broken reed,

And found that only You

Are worthy of my complete trust—

My whole heart, through and through.

Cursed is the one who trusts in man, who draws strength from mere flesh... But blessed is the one who trusts in the Lord, whose confidence is in him. (Jeremiah 17:5, 7)

So here I stand, and here I'll stay,

Rooted in Your love alone.

For it is better to take refuge in the Lord

Than to trust in anything but His throne.

Amen.

All things is possible through God that loves us.

 All Things Are Possible Through God Who Loves Us

All things are possible—not through my own strength or might,

Not through striving, struggling, or fighting for the light.

But through the God who loves me, whose heart beats for my own,

Whose power is made perfect when my weakness is made known.

Jesus looked at them and said, "With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible." (Matthew 19:26)

Through God who loves us—this is the foundation,

The unshakeable ground of our salvation.

Not a distant force, not a cold decree,

But a Father whose love reaches even me.

I have loved you with an everlasting love; I have drawn you with unfailing kindness. (Jeremiah 31:3)

What things are possible? Let me count the ways:

Forgiveness for the darkest sin, hope for the darkest days.

Healing for the broken heart, peace for the anxious mind,

Freedom for the captive soul, sight for the spiritually blind.

Through God who loves us, the impossible becomes true:

The proud heart humbled, the old made new.

The enemy defeated, the captives released,

The weary find rest, the hungry find feast.

I can do all this through him who gives me strength. (Philippians 4:13)

Through God who loves us, the mountains move aside,

The Red Sea parts, the dead man's grave opens wide.

Barren wombs conceive, barren souls bear fruit,

The tongue of the mute sings praise absolute.

Through God who loves us, we are more than conquerors,

Not by our might, but through Him who suffered for us.

In all these things we overwhelmingly triumph,

Not because we're strong, but because His love is our triumph.

No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. (Romans 8:37)

So when I face the impossible, when my strength is gone,

When the mountain looms before me and hope feels withdrawn,

I will remember the God who loves me, who holds me in His hand,

And I will whisper to my soul: "With God, I stand."

For nothing is impossible for the God who loves me so—

The God who spoke the stars to life, the God who made the snow.

The God who sent His only Son to die in my own place,

The God who raised Him from the dead and offers me His grace.

For nothing will be impossible with God. (Luke 1:37)

All things are possible. Not some things, not a few.

Not the easy ones, the simple ones, the ones I can get through.

But all things—the impossible, the hopeless, the unseen,

Because the God who loves me is making all things clean.

This is my confidence. This is my song.

All things are possible—all day long.

Not because of who I am, but because of whose I am:

I am loved by the great I AM.

Amen.

Mathew 11:28 I will give you rest.

 Amen. This is one of the most tender and compassionate invitations ever spoken—Jesus calling the weary, the burdened, the exhausted to come to Him and find rest. Let us hear it amplified, that its depths may wash over our souls.

---

📖 Matthew 11:28 – Amplified

"Come to Me, all who are weary and heavily burdened [by religious rituals that provide no peace], and I will give you rest [refreshing your souls with salvation]."

— Matthew 11:28 (AMP)

---

🔍 Amplified Breakdown

Phrase Amplified Meaning

"Come to Me" A personal, intimate invitation from Jesus Himself. Not "come to religion," not "come to rules," not "come to rituals"—but come to a Person. He is the destination.

"All who are weary" Kopiao (Greek) – to grow weary, tired, exhausted from labor. This is the exhaustion of trying to earn salvation, keep up appearances, or carry impossible loads.

"Heavily burdened" Phortion (Greek) – a heavy load, a burden. In context, Jesus refers to the crushing weight of religious legalism—the endless rules, the guilt, the impossible standards imposed by the Pharisees.

"[By religious rituals that provide no peace]" The Amplified translation makes explicit what the original implies: the burden is man-made religion that demands but never gives, that exhausts but never satisfies.

"I will give you rest" Anapauo (Greek) – to cause or permit one to cease from labor, to refresh, to give rest. This is not just a nap; it is soul-deep Sabbath. The rest of a conscience at peace, a heart at home, a spirit unafraid.

"[Refreshing your souls with salvation]" The ultimate rest is salvation itself—being fully known, fully forgiven, fully accepted in Christ. The rest He gives is Himself.

---

🕊️ The Context: What Came Before

In verses 28–30, Jesus contrasts Himself with the religious leaders of His day:

· The Pharisees bound heavy burdens on people's shoulders (Matthew 23:4).

· Jesus lifts burdens and gives rest.

· The Pharisees' yoke was oppression.

· Jesus' yoke is easy and light—because He carries the weight with us.

A Prayer of Coming to Jesus

Lord Jesus,

I hear Your voice—warm, welcoming, wide open.

You say, "Come."

And so I come.

I come weary—

tired of trying, tired of striving, tired of pretending.

I come burdened—

carrying guilt I was never meant to carry,

bowing under expectations I was never meant to meet.

I lay it all down at Your feet.

My religious performances.

My anxious efforts.

My heavy heart.

You do not scold me for being tired.

You do not shame me for needing rest.

You simply say, "Come… and I will give you rest."

I receive it now—

the rest of forgiveness,

the rest of acceptance,

the rest of being Yours.

In Your gentle and humble name,

Amen.

---

A Hebrew Reflection

The Hebrew concept of rest—מְנוּחָה (menuchah)—is more than ceasing work. It is a state of complete serenity, fulfillment, and peace. It is what God entered on the seventh day. It is what He offers your soul today.

"Return to your rest, O my soul, for the Lord has dealt bountifully with you."

— Psalm 116:7 (ESV)

---

A Blessing for the Weary

May you hear His voice above every other voice today.

May you feel His welcome deeper than every wound.

May you lay down what you were never meant to carry.

And may you find—in Him—the rest your soul has always longed for.

Come. He is waiting.

🕊️🙏✨

Deer panting for water.

 Amen. This is one of the most raw, honest, and beautiful pictures of the human soul's relationship with God—the image of a deer panting desperately for water, parched and exhausted, unable to go on without refreshment.

"As the deer pants for streams of water, so my soul pants for you, my God. My soul thirsts for God, for the living God. When can I go and meet with God?"

— Psalm 42:1–2 (NIV)

The Cry of the Deer: An Amplified Meditation

Picture the deer:

· Exhausted from the chase

· Parched in a dry and weary land

· Desperate for water—not as a luxury, but for survival

· Panting with open mouth, heaving sides, searching frantically for the stream

This is not a casual thirst. This is the thirst of one who will die without water.

And So It Is With Our Souls

My soul pants for You, God.

Not for blessings only.

Not for answers only.

Not for relief only.

For You.

For Your presence.

For Your face.

For the living God Himself.

When can I go and meet with God?

This is the cry of the worshiper separated from the sanctuary.

The cry of the believer in a dry season.

The cry of one who knows: Nothing else will satisfy.

A Prayer of the Panting Soul

Living God,

My soul is dry. My spirit is weary.

Like the deer that pants for water,

I pant for You.

Not for things—but for You.

Not for answers—but for Your presence.

Not for relief—but for the River itself.

You are the living water.

You alone can satisfy this thirst.

Quench me, Lord.

Refresh me, Lord.

Draw me to the stream of Your presence,

and let me drink deeply.

I was made for You.

Nothing else will do.

In Jesus' name,

Amen.

A Hebrew Word for This Cry

עָרַג (Arag) – To pant, to long for, to crave intensely. This is the word used in Psalm 42:1—not a gentle wish, but a desperate, life-or-death longing.

A Blessing for the Thirsty Soul

May your holy hunger be satisfied.

May your sacred thirst be quenched.

May you find, even now, the stream that never runs dry.

Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be filled.

— Matthew 5:6

Drink deeply. He is near.

🦌💧🙏

God turns evil of man into Good.

 Amen. This is one of the most profound and hope-filled truths in all of Scripture—that our God is sovereignly able to take the evil intentions of men and weave them into His tapestry of good. He does not cause evil, but He is Master over it.

"You intended to harm me, but God intended it for good to accomplish what is now being done, the saving of many lives."

— Genesis 50:20 (NIV)

"And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose."

— Romans 8:28 (NIV)

A Prayer Trusting God to Transform Evil into Good

Sovereign Lord, Ruler of all history and every human heart,

You are not the author of evil, yet You are its Master.

What men intend for harm, You can turn for good.

What the enemy schemes for destruction, You can redeem for deliverance.

I bring before You the wrongs done to me—

the betrayals, the wounds, the injustices.

I cannot undo them, but I trust You to redeem them.

Take the evil meant to break me

and transform it into something that shapes me,

teaches me,

and even becomes a source of blessing for others.

Joseph's brothers sold him into slavery,

but You used it to save nations.

They crucified my Lord,

but You used it to save the world.

You are the God of the empty tomb—

the One who brings life from death,

good from evil,

morning from midnight.

I trust You with my story.

I trust You with my scars.

I trust You to write redemption

through every chapter of my life.

In the name of Jesus,

the ultimate proof that You turn evil into good,

Amen.

A Hebrew Word for This Truth

שָׁבַת (Shavat) – To cease, to rest. Also related to שָׁבָה (Shavah) – To restore, to make whole. God causes the evil intended against us to cease its destructive work and restores us through it. He brings Sabbath to our sorrow and wholeness from our wounds.

A Blessing of Redemption

May you see with Joseph's eyes—

not blind to the evil done,

but open to the God who redeems it.

May you trust with Jesus' heart—

that the worst the world can do

is never greater than the best God can make of it.

May your story become a testimony:

They meant it for evil, but God meant it for good.

Your pain is not wasted. Your God is still writing. 

🌱✝️🕊️

If you return evil for good, evil will not depart from your house.

 Amen. This is a profound and sobering truth from the wisdom of Scripture—a warning and a promise rolled into one. It speaks to the moral order God has woven into the fabric of creation: what we sow, we reap.

"Do not repay evil with evil or insult with insult. On the contrary, repay evil with blessing, because to this you were called so that you may inherit a blessing."

— 1 Peter 3:9 (NIV)

"Whoever rewards evil for good, evil will not depart from his house."

— Proverbs 17:13 (ESV)

A Prayer for a Heart That Blesses, Not Curses

Righteous and Holy God,

Your Word is truth, and Your ways are just.

You warn us that returning evil for good invites destruction into our own dwelling place.

Search my heart, O God, and show me any place where bitterness, unforgiveness, or vengeance has taken root.

Forgive me for the times I have repaid kindness with coldness,

grace with resentment,

or love with indifference.

Cleanse me, and set my heart right.

Teach me to be like You—

who repays our evil with good,

our rebellion with mercy,

our sin with sacrifice.

When I am wronged, give me grace to bless.

When I am hurt, give me strength to forgive.

When evil is done to me, give me courage to overcome evil with good.

Let my home be a place where Your peace dwells,

where forgiveness flows,

and where evil finds no foothold.

In the name of Jesus,

who repaid our greatest evil with His greatest good,

Amen.

A Hebrew Wisdom

מֵשִׁיב רָעָה תַּחַת טוֹבָה – לֹא־תָמוּשׁ רָעָה מִבֵּיתוֹ.

Meshiv ra'ah tachat tovah—lo tamush ra'ah mibeito.

(Whoever returns evil for good—evil will not depart from his house.)

A Blessing for Your Household

May your home be a sanctuary of grace.

May your heart be a wellspring of forgiveness.

May your hands sow only good, that your harvest may be peace.

And may the Lord Himself guard your dwelling,

that no evil shall enter where blessing is sown.

Choose blessing today. Life follows. 🏠🕊️🙏

Benediction based on Scripture.

 A Detailed Benediction Based on Scripture

A benediction is a speaking of good words—a blessing pronounced over God's people as they go from worship into the world. It is not a wish, but a declaration of what God has promised to do. Here is a detailed benediction woven from the richness of Scripture.

---

🙏 The Benediction

May the Lord bless you and keep you—

Not as the world blesses, with empty hopes and fleeting favor,

But as the covenant-keeping God who watches over His own.

May His eye be upon you in the day and through the night,

Guarding your coming in and your going out,

Keeping you as the apple of His eye,

Hiding you in the shadow of His wings.

The Lord bless you and keep you; the Lord make His face shine upon you, and be gracious to you. (Numbers 6:24-25)

May the Lord make His face shine upon you and be gracious to you—

May His presence illuminate your path when the way is dark.

May the light of His countenance dispel every shadow of doubt.

May His grace, unmerited and abundant, surround you like a shield,

Covering your failures, healing your wounds, restoring your soul.

May you know, deep in your spirit, that you are accepted in the Beloved,

Not because of who you are, but because of whose you are.

May the Lord lift up His countenance upon you and give you peace—

Not the fragile peace the world offers, which depends on circumstances,

But the deep, settled shalom that flows from being right with God.

Peace that guards your heart and mind in Christ Jesus.

Peace that stands firm when storms rage and mountains shake.

Peace that whispers, "I am with you," in the silence of suffering.

Peace that passes all understanding, yet dwells within understanding hearts.

The Lord lift up His countenance upon you, and give you peace. (Numbers 6:26)

---

That same grace that called you from darkness into marvelous light,

That justified you freely through His blood,

That is sufficient for every weakness, every trial, every need.

The breadth and length and height and depth of His love,

And be filled with all the fullness of God.

The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit. (Philippians 4:23)

The love that chose you before the foundation of the world,

That predestined you for adoption as His child,

That will not let you go, no matter what you face.

May you be rooted and grounded in this love,

Able to comprehend what surpasses knowledge,

And to know that nothing in all creation

Can separate you from this love.

For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord. (Romans 8:38-39)

May the fellowship of the Holy Spirit abide in you continually—

The Spirit who convicts, comforts, counsels, and empowers,

Who takes what belongs to Christ and declares it to you,

Who produces in you love, joy, peace, patience, kindness,

Goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control.

May you be led by the Spirit, walk by the Spirit,

And keep in step with the Spirit all your days.

May the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all. (2 Corinthians 13:14)

---

🛡️ A Blessing of Protection and Provision

May the Lord be your refuge and your fortress—

Your God, in whom you trust.

May He cover you with His feathers,

And under His wings may you find refuge.

May His faithfulness be your shield and rampart.

You will not fear the terror of night,

Nor the arrow that flies by day,

Nor the pestilence that stalks in darkness,

Nor the plague that destroys at midday.

If you say, "The Lord is my refuge," and you make the Most High your dwelling, no harm will overtake you, no disaster will come near your tent. (Psalm 91:9-10)

May the Lord provide for all your needs according to His riches in glory—

Not according to your merit, but according to His wealth.

May you have bread for today and hope for tomorrow.

May you know what it is to have enough and to abound,

To give generously as you have been given generously.

May His provision be a testimony to His faithfulness,

And may you never lack any good thing

As you seek first His kingdom and His righteousness.

And my God will meet all your needs according to the riches of his glory in Christ Jesus. (Philippians 4:19)

May the Lord give you wisdom from above—

Wisdom that is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, open to reason,

Full of mercy and good fruits, impartial and sincere.

May you not lean on your own understanding,

But in all your ways acknowledge Him,

Trusting Him to make your paths straight.

May His word be a lamp to your feet

And a light to your path,

Guiding every decision, every step, every season.

If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you. (James 1:5)

May the Lord direct your hearts into the love of God

And into the steadfastness of Christ—

That you may not grow weary in doing good,

That you may persevere under trial,

That you may stand firm in the faith,

Courageous and strong.

May your love abound more and more

In knowledge and depth of insight,

So that you may be pure and blameless

For the day of Christ.

Now may our Lord Jesus Christ himself and God our Father, who loved us and by his grace gave us eternal encouragement and good hope, encourage your hearts and strengthen you in every good deed and word. (2 Thessalonians 2:16-17)

May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in Him—

So that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.

May your hope be anchored in the presence behind the veil,

Where Jesus has gone as a forerunner on your behalf.

May you fix your eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen,

For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.

May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit. (Romans 15:13)

May you be kept blameless until the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ—

He who calls you is faithful; He will surely do it.

May the God of peace sanctify you through and through,

May your whole spirit, soul, and body be kept blameless

At the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.

The One who calls you is faithful, and He will do it.

May God himself, the God of peace, sanctify you through and through. May your whole spirit, soul and body be kept blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. The one who calls you is faithful, and he will do it. (1 Thessalonians 5:23-24)

This benediction draws from numerous scriptures to cover every aspect of the believer's life: identity, protection, provision, wisdom, hope, and eternal security. It is both a prayer and a declaration of what God has already promised to do for those who belong to Him.

God's Grace and Peace surpass all understanding

 God's Grace and Peace

Grace and peace to you—not as the world gives,

But as the Father offers, the very way He lives.

Grace that covers every failure, every hidden, guilty stain,

Peace that calms the raging storm and stills the anxious brain.

Grace and peace be multiplied to you in the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord. (2 Peter 1:2)

Grace—the unmerited favor of the God who sees it all,

Who knows the depths of every heart, who hears the silent call.

Not a wage for work accomplished, not a prize for being good,

But a gift of love unmeasured, sealed in sacrificial blood.

It finds us in our wandering, it meets us in our shame,

And whispers, "You are welcome here," and calls us by our name.

Peace—the quiet certainty that God is on the throne,

That even when we walk alone, we never walk alone.

It is not the absence of the storm, but the presence of the One

Who speaks, "Be still," to crashing waves and the setting of the sun.

A peace that passes understanding, guarding heart and mind,

A fortress and a resting place for all who seek and find.

And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. (Philippians 4:7)

Grace and peace—they travel together, hand in hand,

The twin gifts of mercy from the promised land.

Grace to start each morning, fresh and new and free,

Peace to end each evening, knowing I am held by Thee.

May grace and peace be yours in abundance, full and deep,

In waking and in sleeping, in sowing and in reaping.

May grace restore you when you fall, may peace sustain your soul,

May these twin blessings carry you until you're fully whole.

Grace, mercy and peace from God the Father and from Jesus Christ, the Father's Son, will be with us in truth and love. (2 John 1:3)

So receive them now, beloved—not as distant, future things,

But as present, living promises from the King of kings.

Grace for every moment, peace for every day—

These are the gifts He gives to those who trust and pray.

Amen.

God you are my everything

 Glory to Yahweh,

Bless your people,

Let us triump,

You are my Life, 

You Are my Everything

God, You are my Everything—there is no other.

Before You, every love grows dim, every treasure pales and withers.

You are the first thought in the morning when my eyes open to see,

The last whisper on my lips before sleep covers me.

You are my Lord; apart from you I have no good thing. (Psalm 16:2)

You are my Everything in every circumstance and season,

The unchanging reason my heart has found to believe.

When I have nothing else to hold, You are the hand I hold.

When I have nothing left to give, You are the gift untold.

You are my Provider—every need already met,

Before I form the prayer, Your answer is set.

The bread upon my table, the roof above my head,

The peace within my spirit when anxious thoughts have fled.

And my God will meet all your needs according to the riches of his glory in Christ Jesus. (Philippians 4:19)

You are my Healer—every wound, every hidden scar,

You bind with gentle hands and make me whole again.

You restore what was broken, You renew what was torn,

You give beauty for ashes and joy for the mourn.

You are my Shepherd—I shall not want or fear.

You lead me beside still waters, You keep my hiding place near.

When I walk through the valley where death's shadow falls,

Your rod and Your staff comfort me—I am safe within Your calls.

The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. (Psalm 23:1)

You are my Peace when chaos rages all around,

The still, small voice that speaks and calms the storm.

You are my Joy when sorrow threatens to drown,

The rising sun that breaks the darkest norm.

You are my Wisdom when I cannot see the way,

The lamp unto my feet, the light unto my day.

You guide my steps with counsel, You order all my ways,

And in Your will, I find my rest and my praise.

Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding. (Proverbs 3:5)

You are my Victory when the battle presses hard,

The strong and mighty Warrior who stands as my guard.

The enemy may roar, but You have already won,

And in Your triumph, I am more than a conqueror, through the Son.

You are my Future—the hope of what will be,

The certainty of glory, the home prepared for me.

When this life is over and my days on earth are done,

I will dwell with You forever—my Everything, my All-in-One.

For in him we live and move and have our being. (Acts 17:28)

So I say it again, with every breath I take,

With every step I walk, with every choice I make:

God, You are my Everything.

My beginning. My end. My heart's eternal spring.

Amen.

The word of God is forever green and everlasting

 The Everlasting Word of God

The Word of God stands forever—unchanged, unchanging, true.

Not a whisper lost to history, not a promise long withdrawn,

But a living, breathing testimony that outlasts the brightest dawn.

Through the rise and fall of empires, through the shifting sands of time,

Its truth remains unshaken, its message still sublime.

The grass withers and the flowers fall, but the word of our God endures forever. (Isaiah 40:8)

Before the mountains were brought forth, before the earth took shape,

Before the first light broke the dark, before the first grape,

The Word was with the Father, the Word was God alone,

The eternal conversation within the triune throne.

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. (John 1:1)

The everlasting Word of God—it spoke and worlds were born.

It parted seas and shattered chains, it healed the broken and torn.

It came in flesh to dwell with us, to tabernacle here,

To speak in human language, to make the Father clear.

The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the one and only Son, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth. (John 1:14)

It cannot be broken. Jesus said it plain:

"Scripture cannot be broken"—every word, every strain.

Not one jot, not one tittle shall pass away until

All is accomplished, all fulfilled, according to His will.

For truly I tell you, until heaven and earth disappear, not the smallest letter, not the least stroke of a pen, will by any means disappear from the Law until everything is accomplished. (Matthew 5:18)

The everlasting Word of God—a lamp unto my feet,

A light unto my pathway, making my journey sweet.

A sword that pierces to the heart, dividing soul and spirit,

A mirror that reveals myself, so I can truly hear it.

For the word of God is alive and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart. (Hebrews 4:12)

It is settled in heaven, forever fixed and sure.

Its promises are yes and amen, its warnings are secure.

It is the seed that brings new birth, the milk that makes us grow,

The solid food for those mature, the truth we need to know.

Your word, Lord, is eternal; it stands firm in the heavens. (Psalm 119:89)

The everlasting Word of God—when heaven and earth pass away,

When stars grow dim and suns burn out and matter will decay,

This Word will still be standing, this truth will still remain,

The final, eternal testimony that Jesus Christ will reign.

Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away. (Matthew 24:35)

So I will build my life upon it, this Rock that cannot move.

I will trust its every promise, its wisdom I will prove.

For the everlasting Word of God is my foundation sure—

The only truth that lasts forever, the only hope secure.

Amen.

What a Faithful God have I

 What a Faithful God I Have

What a faithful God I have—

Not a distant deity who wound the world and left,

Not a passive observer, of promises bereft.

But a covenant-keeping Father, true and tried,

Who has never, ever failed me, though I've wandered and I've lied.

Know therefore that the Lord your God is God; he is the faithful God, keeping his covenant of love to a thousand generations of those who love him and keep his commandments. (Deuteronomy 7:9)

When I was faithless, He remained.

When I complained, He still sustained.

When I forgot the vows I made,

His faithful love would not degrade.

For His faithfulness is not dependent on my own—

It flows from who He is, seated on the throne.

What a faithful God I have in seasons bright and fair,

When blessings fall like rain and answers come through prayer.

I see His hand in every gift, His goodness on display,

And my heart responds with gratitude and words I long to say:

"You are faithful, Lord! You keep Your every word!"

And my soul, like Miriam, dances before the Lord.

What a faithful God I have when shadows fill the space,

When silence seems His only answer, when I cannot see His face.

In the waiting, in the wondering, in the valley deep and wide,

His faithfulness surrounds me—He will never leave my side.

Though I cannot trace His hand, I can trust His faithful heart,

And in that trust, I find the strength to live my part.

Because of the Lord's great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness. (Lamentations 3:22-23)

What a faithful God I have in every promise spoken,

Every covenant established, every chain of bondage broken.

He promised Abraham a son, and Isaac came to be.

He promised Israel deliverance, and parted the Red Sea.

He promised David a forever throne, and Jesus reigns today.

He promised me eternal life—and He will not delay.

What a faithful God I have—the proof is in the cross,

Where the faithfulness of God redeemed the world from loss.

There, on that hill, He kept His word to save a sinful race,

And met the demands of justice with His own sufficient grace.

If He did not spare His Son, but gave Him for us all,

How will He not, with Him, give everything else to those who call?

God is not human, that he should lie, not a human being, that he should change his mind. Does he speak and then not act? Does he promise and not fulfill? (Numbers 23:19)

So here I stand, a witness to His faithfulness through time.

I add my testimony to the eternal, growing line

Of those who say with confidence, with joy, with grateful breath:

"What a faithful God I have—in life, in death, in life beyond death!"

His faithfulness is my foundation.

His faithfulness is my song.

What a faithful God I have—

To Him alone I belong.

Amen.

Please save me from evils in this fallen world.

 Glory to Yahweh,

Bless is your name, 

Jehovah Jirah, 

Jehovah Nihsi, 

Jehovah Shalom, 

If you are for us, 

Nobody can be against us, 

You are miracle working God,

The creator of heaven and earth,

Thanks for Lord Jesus, 

My Personal Lord and Saviour,

The Lamb of God, 

Clearing the sin of the world, 

I have sin, 

Falling short of your Glory,

In Jesus, 

Bless holy exalted name, 

I pray and worship, 

Amen. 

Hallelujah. 

God's Mercy endures forever,

 Here's a poetic journey through **John 3**—the heartbeat of the Gospel—woven with Scripture and centered on its life-changing truths:

### **"NIGHT VISITOR, ETERNAL LIGHT"**  

*A Poem Through John 3*

**A ruler comes by cover of night—**  

Seeking answers, craving light.  

*“Rabbi, we know You’re sent from God!”*  

But flesh-born eyes see only odd  

Signs and wonders, truth half-told…  

**Then Christ shatters his world of old:**  

>*“Unless one is born again, he cannot see…*  

>*The kingdom of God’s mystery.”*  

>—**John 3:3**  

**Wind blows where it wills, unseen, unknown—**  

**So is every heart by Spirit born!**  

*Not by blood, nor human desire,*  

*But water and Spirit—Holy Fire!*  

>*“Flesh gives birth to flesh, but Spirit gives birth to spirit.”*  

>—**John 3:6**  

**Then the Teacher lifts his eyes—**  

**Points to Sinai’s serpent raised:**  

>*“Just as Moses lifted high the snake,*  

>*So must the Son of Man be raised!*  

>*That all who look in faith may live—*  

***Eternal life, My Father gives.”***  

>—**John 3:14–15**  

**For here it comes—the verse that sings**  

**Past walls of time, on angel wings:**  

>*“For God so loved the world—yes, YOU—*  

>*He gave His only Son, so true,*  

>*That whoever trusts in Him, believes,*  

>*Not lost but found, grace receives!”*  

>—**John 3:16**  

**No condemnation from His hand—**  

**He came to save a broken land!**  

*But those who turn from Light’s embrace*  

*Choose judgment in their hiding place.*  

>*“Whoever believes stands not condemned…*  

>*But whoever rejects stands judged already.”*  

>—**John 3:18, 3:36**  

**Oh, come to Light! Let deeds be shown—**  

**No fear in Truth, for you are known!**  

*Reborn! Remade! By Love set free!*  

*Born from above eternally!*  

>*“Whoever lives by truth steps into the Light!”*  

>—**John 3:21**

**John 3 isn’t just a chapter—it’s the crossroads of eternity.**  

Where religion meets rebirth.  

Where questions meet *the Answer*.  

Where night meets the Light of the World (**John 8:12**).  

*"You must be born again—*  

*Not of the flesh, but Spirit-breath.  

Look to the Cross—defier of death.  

Believe, and live!"* 💖

Lord, You are my foundation.

 **"Lord, You Are My Foundation"**  

*(Based on Scripture: 1 Corinthians 3:11, Psalm 62:6-7, Matthew 7:24-25)*  

**Lord, You are my Foundation—**  

The Rock that cannot shake.  

When storms roar with confrontation,  

Still my soul You make unafraid.  

**Not on sand, not on shifting lies,**  

Not on wealth or fleeting fame—  

**But on Christ, the Stronghold wise,**  

The One who bore my shame.  

Let the winds howl, let the rains beat,  

Let the earth itself give way—  

**You remain beneath my feet,**  

My dawn in darkest day.  

**Who can move what God has set?**  

What force can break His hand?  

When all else fades, I’ll not forget—  

**On this Stone I stand.**  

**Amen.**  

*(Scripture references: 1 Corinthians 3:11, Psalm 62:6-7, Matthew 7:24-25, Isaiah 28:16)*  

Abba Father, Let your will be done and not my will.

Here is a poem that gives voice to that profound and sacred prayer of surrender.

---

Not Mine

Abba, Father—the name a trusting child knows, The safest refuge when the bitter wind blows. I come to You now,with a heart torn in two, And speak the only prayer that will see me through.

My will cries out, a map of my design, Full of hopes that shimmered,plans I thought were mine. It points to comfort,and a painless way, To a sun that does not fade into gray.

But Your will is a depth I cannot sound, A holy mystery where true life is found. It is a higher mountain,a broader sea, A story of redemption yet to be.

So here, in this stillness, I loosen my hold, On the tale I so desperately wanted told. I lay down the pen,I surrender the page, To the Author of Wisdom,the God of all Age.

Let Your will be done, and not my own, Your kingdom come, Your purpose known. Take this cup,if it is what You ordain, And in my yielding,let there be gain.

For You are Abba—You are good, You are near, And in Your will,there is no need to fear. You who did not spare Your only Son, Will surely lead me till my race is run.

So not my will, but Yours, I choose this day, In sweet surrender,I find the truest way. Abba,Father, into Your hands I release, And in that letting go,I find Your peace.

---

The Scripture Weaved Within:

This prayer is the heart of the Christian journey, modeled perfectly by Christ Himself.

· The Address: "Abba, Father" comes from Romans 8:15 and Galatians 4:6, signifying an intimate, trusting relationship with God.

· The Surrender: "Let your will be done, and not my will" echoes the ultimate prayer of Jesus in the Garden of Gethsemane: "Father, if you are willing, take this cup from me; yet not my will, but yours be done." (Luke 22:42)

· The Trust: The foundation of this prayer is the belief expressed in Romans 8:28: "And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose." It trusts that the Father's will, though sometimes mysterious and difficult, is ultimately good.

This is the prayer that moves from fear to faith, from control to comfort in the hands of a loving Father. It is the hardest and most freeing prayer we can ever pray.

My God, breath into our lives.

 🕯️ Amen. 🕯️

This is a powerful cry for the very breath of God—the same breath that brought life to dust in the beginning (Genesis 2:7), and the same Spirit that raised Christ from the dead (Romans 8:11). You are asking for the ultimate source of life: God Himself.

“Then the Lord God formed a man from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living being.”

— Genesis 2:7

“Thus says the Lord God: Come from the four winds, O breath, and breathe on these slain, that they may live.”

— Ezekiel 37:9

Let Us Pray:

Heavenly Father,

You are the Giver of life—the One who breathed the stars into space and who fills our lungs with Your breath this very moment.

We ask now:

Breathe Your life into us.

· Breathe into our bodies—bring healing, strength, and vitality.

· Breathe into our minds—bring clarity, wisdom, and peace.

· Breathe into our spirits—awaken us to Your presence, Your purpose, and Your power.

· Breathe into our dreams—revive what has faded and resurrect what has died.

Let Your ruach—Your Spirit, Your breath—fill every part of us, just as You filled the disciples in the upper room (John 20:22).

Where there is weariness, bring divine energy.

Where there is brokenness, bring resurrection life.

Where there is despair, bring hope that breathes again.

We are not just flesh and bone—we are Yours, vessels of Your breath and carriers of Your glory.

In the mighty name of Jesus,

Amen.

---

🌬️✨ May you feel the gentle, powerful breath of God filling you, stirring you, and sending you forth in newness of life.

You are not alone—the Breath of Heaven is within you and upon you.

Walk boldly in His life today.

You are treasure of my heart.

 You Are the Treasure of My Heart

You are the treasure of my heart—the pearl of greatest price,

For whom I would sell everything, make any sacrifice.

Not out of duty or of fear, but out of love so deep,

That in Your presence, all my lesser loves fall fast asleep.

The kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field. When a man found it, he hid it again, and then in his joy went and sold all he had and bought that field. (Matthew 13:44)

All the gold and silver, all the riches of the earth,

Cannot compare to knowing You, to understanding worth

That has no measure, has no end, no limit and no lack—

You are the treasure of my heart, and nothing can give back

The way You've loved me, found me, held me, made me whole,

The way You've written Your own name upon my inmost soul.

You are the treasure of my heart when days are bright and fair,

And still the treasure when the weight of sorrow and despair

Presses down upon my chest and whispers, "You are alone."

But in the quiet, I remember: I am never on my own.

For You are with me, and in You, I have more than I could hold—

A treasure that will never rust, that never can grow old.

For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also. (Matthew 6:21)

So let my heart be fixed on You, the treasure I have found.

Let no lesser love distract me, no fleeting pleasure ground

Itself within the soil where only You should grow.

You are the treasure of my heart—this one thing I do know:

I have searched and I have sought, and in You I have found rest.

You are the treasure that surpasses every earthly test.

And when my days on earth are done, and I finally see Your face,

I will know that all along, You were my hiding place.

You are the treasure of my heart.

My everything. My all.

My greatest love. My dearest friend.

My answer to every call.

Amen.

God of all Seasons.

 God of All Seasons

God of all seasons, You hold the times in Your hand,

The turning of the ages, the shifting of the land.

Winter and summer, springtime and fall,

You are the Sovereign Lord over all.

While the earth remains, seedtime and harvest, cold and heat, summer and winter, day and night, shall not cease. (Genesis 8:22)

In the winter of my waiting, when the ground is cold and bare,

When nothing grows, when hope seems frozen in despair—

You are there. You are working underneath the frost,

Preparing life that cannot be seen, counting not the cost.

The branches bare remind me that You are not yet done,

That underneath the surface, new life has begun.

In the springtime of new beginnings, when the first green shoots appear,

When hope returns and blossoms and casts out every fear—

You are there. The rain that falls, the sun that warms the ground,

Are mercies new each morning, Your faithfulness unbound.

You make all things beautiful in the rhythm of Your time,

Planting seeds of purpose in this heart of mine.

He has made everything beautiful in its time. (Ecclesiastes 3:11)

In the summer of abundance, when the harvest fills the field,

When blessings overflow and a bountiful yield

Surrounds me with Your goodness, I remember then

That every good and perfect gift comes from You again.

Yet in the heat of labor, when the days are long and bright,

You are the shade that covers me, the strength to continue the fight.

In the autumn of transitions, when the leaves begin to fall,

When things I've held so tightly are released at Your call—

You are there. The letting go, the colors fading gold,

Are part of Your design, a story to be told.

For every season serves a purpose in Your sovereign will,

And in each one, Your promise stands: You are with me still.

To everything there is a season, and a time for every purpose under heaven. (Ecclesiastes 3:1)

God of all seasons, I trust You in each one—

In the waiting, in the growing, in the harvest, when it's done.

You are the constant through the change, the anchor through the storm,

The One who holds the calendar, whose love keeps me warm.

So whether winter's chill or summer's heat,

Whether springtime rain or autumn leaves beneath my feet,

I will praise You, God of seasons, for You are always good,

And in every change of season, You are understood—

The unchanging, faithful Father, the same yesterday and forever,

The God of all seasons, who fails me never.

Amen.

Give life for those who does not sin unto death.

 Life for Those Who Do Not Sin unto Death

This is a deep and comforting truth from Scripture—that for those who are in Christ, who walk in faith and obedience, there is the promise of life, not death.

📖 The Scripture

"If you see any brother or sister commit a sin that does not lead to death, you should pray and God will give them life. I refer to those whose sin does not lead to death. There is a sin that leads to death. I am not saying that you should pray about that." (1 John 5:16)

The apostle John distinguishes between sin that leads to physical or spiritual death and sin that, though grievous, does not result in eternal separation from God. For those who are in Christ, whose sins are covered by His blood, there is always the offer of life through repentance and grace.

✨ What This Means

Truth Assurance

Sin has consequences Some sin leads to spiritual death—persistent, unrepentant rejection of God (Hebrews 10:26-27).

But for believers, grace abounds For those in Christ, sin does not have the final word. "Where sin increased, grace increased all the more" (Romans 5:20).

Prayer restores We are called to intercede for one another, that those who stumble may be lifted up and receive life.

Eternal life is secure Those who truly belong to Christ have passed from death to life (John 5:24).

🕊️ A Poetic Declaration

To those who do not sin unto death, I give life—

Not by their merit, not by their striving,

But by the grace of the One who is thriving

In the hearts of all who call upon His name,

Who are covered by the blood of the slain Lamb.

For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. (Romans 6:23)

When a brother stumbles, when a sister falls,

When the weight of sin presses and calls

For judgment, for condemnation, for despair,

I will lift them up in fervent prayer.

For there is life in the name of Jesus—

Life that flows from the cross and frees us.

Life that restores, that heals, that mends,

Life that never, ever ends.

Whoever lives and believes in me will never die. (John 11:26)

To those who walk in faith, though they may trip,

I give the promise of relationship—

Not a life of perfect, sinless ease,

But a life of grace upon their knees.

For the righteous fall seven times and rise again,

Not in their own strength, but by the Spirit within.

And the life they live is hid with Christ in God,

Secured by His covenant, sealed by His blood.

For though the righteous fall seven times, they rise again. (Proverbs 24:16)

So let us live, and let us pray,

For one another every day.

That those who stumble may find their feet,

And in the grace of God, be complete.

For to those who do not sin unto death,

There is life—eternal life—through faith.

Not a life of our own making,

But a life in Christ, never forsaking.

This is the promise, this is the truth:

In Jesus, we have eternal youth.

Life forever, life abundant, life so free—

Given to all who believe in Thee.

Amen.
