Prayers Including No Prayer Goes Unheard.
globe by mimi
Often we pause and wonder
When we kneel down to pray
Can God really hear
The prayers that we say.
But if we keep praying
And talking to him.
He'll brighten the soul
That was clouded and dim,
And as we continue
Our burden seems lighter
Our sorrow is softened
And our outlook is brighter -
For though we feel helpless
And alone when we start,
Our prayer is the key
That opens the heart
And as our heart opens
The dear Lord comes in
And the prayer that we felt
We could never begin.
Is so easy to say
For the Lord understands
And gives us new strength
By the touch of His hands.
(the author of this poem is unknown to me)

The following prayer was sent to me by email.
A Prayer
Father, I ask you to bless my friends reading this right now.
I am asking You to minister to their spirit at this very moment.
Where there is pain, give them Your peace and mercy.
Where their is self doubting, release a renewed confidence in Your ability to work through them.
Where there is tiredness, or exhaustion, I ask You to give them understanding, patience, and strength as they learn submission to Your leading.
Where there is spiritual stagnation, I ask You to renew them by revealing Your nearness, and by drawing them into greater intimacy with You.
Where there is fear, reveal Your love, and release to them Your courage.
Where there is a sin blocking them, reveal it, and break its hold over my friend's life.
Bless their finances, give them greater vision, and raise up leaders and friends to support and encourage them.
Give each of them discernment to recognize the evil forces around them, and reveal to them the power they have in You to defeat it. I ask You to do these things in Jesus' name. Amen.

If my heart is empty Lord
Fill it with love.
If my hands are empty Lord
Fill them with toil.
If my plate is empty Lord
Fill it with your bread.
If my cup is empty Lord
Fill it to the brim.
Let me Lord love those
Without a care.
Let me Lord help those
In desparate need.
Let me Lord feed those
Children upon the streets.
Let me Lord help
The thirsty along the way.
Amen. JG

Oh God you are forever talking
But am I listening.
Oh God I thought of you with fear
But I now know you are unconditional love.
Oh God I thought you needed things from me,
But now I know you require nothing
From anyone or anything in the universe
For you created everything so you are all things to all beings, and you have made everyone special in their ability to divine light.
Including me. Amen.JG

Sometimes I cannot pray
For my mind is full of clutter,
Sometimes I cannot pray
For my spirit is low
Sometimes I cannot pray
For their seems no answer
Sometimes I cannot pray
For you feels far away
Sometimes I cannot pray
For I feel a failure
Sometimes I cannot pray
But Iknow your love will
sustain me through to
a brighter tomorrow.
Thank you Father of all mankind.
AMen, JG

Lord Jesus if I stand and stare
It's only You I am aware
For your light is so very strong
It gives me plenty to ponder upon
All my days I will follow thee
For through the mist I clearly see
That You are the one and only way
So when I speak it's to you I pray.
