Prayers: Wisdom

/in /by

God Hear Our Prayer:

Dear Lord, my God.  How awesome is your Word!  You are faithful beyond belief.  I praise your name in the midst of my pain.  I present my heart to you, dear Heavenly Father, asking all over again that you stand by me forever.  The more I learn, the more I know that I cannot make it in this world without you.  My days, my weeks, and even my months, LORD, are all rolling together…I realize how insignificant I am to your master plan for my life.  I find myself looking at life events pass by knowing that I have no control.  The only thing that I can do is trust you, Lord.  How helpless are my hands!  How weak are my limbs.  My mind and thoughts are racing back and forth.  When I try to hold on, I find that I am falling away!  When I try to let go, I see you close by!  What is this, Lord?  How do I manage? Today I know, and tomorrow I wonder.  How can all of this be?  That which my eyes see, my mind cannot comprehend.  O Lord, my God, how glorious are your teachings.  Fear surrounds me and yet I will not stop.  I remember all that you have said and done.  I am considering you, LORD.  This revelation alone holds me closely in your midst.

As I look through the lens of life that you have given me, I hurt so badly.  Sometimes, Father, I hurt so deeply inside that I find myself helpless.  Why, God, does it have to be?  If we all know and love you the way we claim to know you, and love you, then why is the world…the Christian world in such a crisis?  Why do we follow our own hearts and resist your precious Holy Spirit?  As I read your Word, I see a Loving God that is always pleading for the created souls to return to you and accept your love.  The world is so wrapped up in the natural things that are seen and have no clear eyes to see who you truly are!  Please help us, Lord!  Help me, Lord God. Let the Holy Ghost power of your Spirit possess my soul.  Let Wisdom control my every thought.  Mold me, Lord, into whatever you desire.  Today, Lord, I rededicate my all to serving you.  No matter how difficult the road, and how dark the way…I will follow!  I will follow you to the end, as I absolutely surrender my heart to you! Help me, Lord, to hold on to your unchanging hand.  I am strengthened by your presence and your love.  No matter what I see, I know you will never leave me and for that I say thank you, LORD God Almighty.  Amen, Amen, and AMEN.

Prayers: Vanity of Vanities

/in /by

God Hear Our Prayer:

Dear Heavenly Father, I come before your throne of Grace and Mercy this day.  I come, Lord God, just to experience your presence.  It is in your presence that I long to stay.  I am safe from all danger when I am with you, Lord. Each day, as I smell the sweet savor of your breath, Dear LORD, I am so glad that you have shown me how to walk and talk with You.  You have taught me what it means to be a wife, a mother, and a friend.  In all my educated wisdom, loving you has taught me that I knew nothing at all before I met you.  For all this and more, my God, I am grateful.

I am still “Considering” you, O LORD.  There are so many things that we look upon with our natural eyes and mind and we marvel at the wonder of it all not realizing its spiritual significance.  The Bible teaches us, Lord, that you made the sun, the moon, and that you also made the stars.  These heavenly entities will one day pass away.  They were created to bring light in the midst of darkness for a given period of time for the benefit of mankind.  Man has developed ways to capture, worship, and even improve earthly knowledge.  We act in ignorance because we know not what they are.  O LORD, have mercy on us!  Forgive our sinfulness and our desire to be so intellectually superior to others that we prove ourselves truly ignorant before you instead.

I understand the cries of King Solomon when he declared, “Vanity of Vanities, all is Vanity.”  Seeing the world through your eyes, Father, creates doom in the eyes of the beholder, yet it brings joy everlasting when one realizes that he has been “saved” from the dangers of the battle that is raging all around!  O God, sometimes it feels like walking through the valleys and shadows of death with the enemy pulling on all sides.  But, O, in the midst of it all, even in the light of the dangers that are seen, you still remain God Almighty.  You still provide unspeakable peace.  By your Mercy, LORD, I have “Considered” all the workings of the world under the sun, and I am grateful that you protect those that love you.  Oh how I love you, Lord God!  Help me to never stop loving you, Father God.  Amen.

I pray now, Lord God, for the faithful followers you have given me.  Help them to continue to seek your presence, Lord.  Keep them safe from danger and hold them close as they seek your wisdom.  Help me to stand for them, Lord, when they cannot stand.  Help us all to remain on one accord while following your directions to us, Father.  Make us all one in your sight and continue to Dissect our souls, Dear Lord.  Shed your sweet loving Holy Ghost upon us, I pray.  Amen.

As I humble myself in your presence today, Father, I have “Considered” as Your Spirit has directed.  O God, what a thought!  To consider my life without you brings tears to my eyes; to consider ever that I must stand alone in this battle is fearful indeed; to consider that the God that is God of ALL things in heaven, in the earth, and in the sea beneath the earth, “loves” me, provides me with a greater faith, strength, and the assurance that I can endure to the end.  To be “Considered” by you, Dear God, is to make you proud and give you joy.  I have “Considered” You, as You continuously “Consider” me!  To this end, My Everlasting Friend and Savior, I do submit my TOTAL being to You in Love.  Amen, Amen, and AMEN.

Prayers: The Love of God Almighty NEVER Ceases To Be!

/in /by

God Hear Our Prayer:

Dear Heavenly Father, LORD God Almighty.  I humble myself to you today acknowledging that you ARE God.  Thank you, Father, for the many blessings, teachings, trials, and tribulations that have come my way.  Thank you, LORD, for delivering me from the hands of my enemies.  I praise your Holy Name, my Lord, for loving me as you do.  I am not worthy of all that you do for me.  Please continue to search my heart, my Lord, and know that there is nothing or anyone more important in this world to me than you.  Without you, Lord Jesus, I cannot stand.  I would not survive one day in this miserable place called Earth without you.  My eyes are opened to see the devastations and the evil lurking at every corner.  Help us, LORD.  Do not forget your people, LORD!  Remember to help us because we are not capable of helping ourselves.

Each day, as I consider the magnitude and depth of your love for all men, I am left speechless.  You maintain an outstretched arm even when we sin against you, God.  You keep trying to reach us to teach us how to live for you…how to truly love you.  Yet we reject you for instant pleasures and wisdom gained from this world instead.  Help me, LORD God, to receive your love more and more each day.  Help me, LORD, to know that your love is everlasting and that nothing can stop me from loving you, if this is my desire. Help me to know and understand that through the love relationship that we have developed, there is no fear that you will ever stop loving me.  Amen.  Nothing can ever separate me from your love!  Yet, Sweet Jesus, I understand that you will not tolerate my evil heart. Clearly this is why you have commanded that we love you with all our heart, all our soul, all our mind, and all of our strength.  When we love you as you desire, there is no room for evil to take control.  So thank you, Father God.  I give you permission to continue to “Dissect My Soul,” dear Lord.

I pray now, Lord, for the members of Dissect My Soul.  I pray for all those that have joined the “Love Jesus” Movement.  Keep them safe, Lord God.  Help them to always remember that the only way to overcome the evil in this world is to maintain an intimate love relationship with you.  Dear Lord, the world is changing around us, second by second.  You have taught me not to be shocked or alarmed at the evil that is increasing in the world today.  Help my followers and disciples to be unafraid.  Help them, Lord, to be bold and truthful in their daily walk with you.  Protect them, Father God, as they go.  As they seek your face, minute by minute, bring them into your presence that they might know and understand the degree of your love for them.  Please do this for me, Lord Jesus! Grant them peace and shelter within your Presence.  Thank you, LORD Jesus, for your love.  Amen.

Prayers: Shadow of Death

/in /by

God Hear Our Prayer:

Dear Heavenly Father, My God, My LORD, My Savior, and My Friend, thank you for this day.  Thank you for the opportunity once again to be able to Worship you in Truth and in Spirit.  LORD, I know that you are the best thing that has ever happened to me.  You are the Friend that I have always desired.  I grew up pretty much alone and isolated from the main members of my family.  You allowed me to be raised by my grandparents and for that, Almighty God, I am thankful.  You knew the course my life would take and even then you were preparing me to become a Messenger of the LORD.  You are my FRIEND!  O Lord, how excellent is your wisdom. How Holy is your name.

The path through which you have directed me sometimes feels like walking through the “shadow of death,” but even then, protection is provided.  How do I explain to the world what I see and hear, Dear Lord God?  Why is it difficult for your created souls to believe that all things are spiritual in this world?  Does not the Holy Scriptures declare it to be so?  Why is there so much doubt?  Because of what I see and hear around me, I am confident that being with you, loving you, and remaining in your Presence is the only way to survive.  Your revelations of the existence of the things active in our daily lives that stem from the spiritual realm, are forever implanted within my soul.  Never let me forget or fall away, Lord Jesus.  You have my permission, LORD, to “perfect” your will within my heart every second of the day.  It is through you, Almighty God, that I survive day after day.  Thank you, Lord!

I pray for those that continue to show me kindness, Lord.  I pray for those that believe and follow the teachings that you have provided to me and them.  Protect them, Merciful Father, so that they can grow stronger day by day in your perfect grace.  I pray, Father God, that all enemies of the LORD will be bound this day and always, so that we can continue to grow as a ministry and as a people that have purposed to love you and only you; A people that is willing to be called by your name and accept you as “Our God.”

Lord, may all visitors to our website become infected with your love.  Help them to see that you truly are God and that through you all things are possible that are within your perfect will for their lives.  Amen, Amen, and AMEN.

Prayers: Divine Revelation of Clouds

God Hear Our Prayer:

Dear Lord, my God, how awesome is your wisdom and knowledge.  Thank you, Father, for loving me better than I could ever love myself.  Thank you, LORD GOD, for the protective arm that you place around your children as the enemy rages close by.  Most of all, I thank you today for the revelation you have provided of the mysterious image I saw in the sky as I traveled through the mountains.  I love you, LORD GOD, for all that you are and I pray, LORD, that you will always direct my paths.  As I embrace this day, I need you to be with me every second.  Let the meditations of my heart be forever of thee, O LORD.  Today, I worship you and you alone.  Teach me thy ways, Father, so I can always be within your perfect will.  I give you my heart today and openly declare my everlasting love for you.  You are the greatest Friend that I have ever had.  Help me to always remain as loyal to you as you are to me.

Allow those that see or hear this revelation, LORD, to receive it as being from You, Father. Help them, Lord, to not lean upon their own understanding and to know that you are still speaking to your people and all souls that are willing to hear.  I give you all the honor and glory this day and ask, LORD, that you Dissect My Soul.  Amen, Amen and AMEN.

God Hear Our Prayer:

Dear LORD, my great and awesome God.  Thank you, Father, for yet another opportunity to stand before your throne that is filled with Grace and Mercy.  Grace that abounds bountifully within my heart and Mercy that looks beyond my sinful flesh and responds to my every spiritual need.  To Thee, O God, do I bow down and worship your Holy Name!

Even as I love you, Lord, I see the walls caving in around me, O my God!  I see the world going mad in its zeal to know all things.  I see the Churches entering the race for prestige and wisdom…without seeking your face.  Even as I see the devastating things of this world, as you have allowed me to see, My LORD, I experience the comfort of being held in your loving arms.  It is here, LORD, that I, even I, enjoy your powerful peace and the glory and majesty of your holy presence!  Because you shower me with your everlasting Love, O God, I have no fear of the horrible things that I see.  Thank you, LORD, for loving me more than I could ever love myself.  I know, Sweet Jesus, that it is because of your love that I am able to stand.  Thank you for teaching me how to love.  Amen.

Today LORD, as always, I pray for Dissect My Soul Ministries’ Disciples and Followers.  I bring them with me, before your throne, O God.  I pray that you will shower them with your everlasting love and protection.  They are like “Lambs,” O Lord, that are willing to follow your every direction.  They have been allowed to witness much on this journey to live for You alone, Lord God.  They have seen the many miracles that you have performed and they have witnessed the attempted destruction by your enemy against us all, O LORD.  Many have come and gone, but these, O God, are still standing!  Thank you for their faithfulness to You and the Ministry that you have given us.  Keep us forever humbled before you, O Lord.  Help us to continuously know that without you, we are weak and powerless.  Help us, Father, to continue to walk in Faith, understanding that with You, O God, we are capable of doing all things in your name.

As I humble myself in your presence today, Father, I have “Considered” as Your Spirit has directed.  O God, what a thought!  To consider my life without you brings tears to my eyes; to consider ever that I must stand alone in this battle is fearful indeed; to consider that the God that is God of ALL things in heaven, in the earth, and in the sea beneath the earth, “loves” me, provides me with a greater faith, strength, and the assurance that I can endure to the end.  To be “Considered” by you, Dear God, is to make you proud and give you joy.  I have “Considered” You, as You continuously “Consider” me!  To this end, My Everlasting Friend and Savior, I do submit my TOTAL being to You in Love.  Amen, Amen and Amen.

Prayers: Clouds

God Hear Our Prayer:

Dear Heavenly Father, my God Almighty, this day I submit my will unto thee.  I ask for forgiveness, Lord God, for anything that I might have said or done against thee.  Today I honor and worship you, O Lord.

Today, God, I saw a very interesting thing.  I saw a thing that has caused me to worship you even more.  Please help me understand, Lord Jesus.  I was traveling on the interstate in a mountainous area.  As a passenger in the car, I found myself “considering” the mountains, the sky, the clouds, and the wind!  O Lord, have mercy on my soul.

As the mountains loomed ahead and around, I saw a shadow slowly cover the major hilltops.  Some of the mountains were greatly lightened with brightness, but, O God, there was a “shadow” that covered a major portion of the hilltop.  I looked into the sky to see what was visible that could be casting such a strange shadow.  There was no cloud nearby.  In fact, there were no clouds…except a small oddly shaped figure in the sky above.  It stood afar off from the hilltop, as if gazing on from the inside out.  The closer I drew nearer to the mountains, the darker and more pronounced the shadow became.  Though my natural mind saw nothing out of the ordinary, my inner spirit began to reveal much more.  I instantly knew that a war was raging in the spiritual realm!  Lord, I did not understand.  All I knew was that your wonders of the world continue to amaze me.

As I entered the backside of the mountain, the most incredible sight was hovering over the top of the mountain.  It was a cloud…a very unusual cloud.  It was oval-shaped and had multiple layers that stacked upon each other.  It looked almost transparent as if each layer stood alone yet was mingled as one.  It was not very big, but it was the source of the shadow that was covering the mountain side!  The wind was blowing profusely and leaves on the nearby trees were waving in the wind.  It was truly an amazing sight, Dear Lord!

What did I see?  How could it affect one part of the mountain and not the other?  This whole experience helped me to see, once again, that the things we trust in this world may or may not be worthy of our trust.  The things created by you for mankind to rely upon, we forsake. Forgive me, Father, for my rejection of you in any way.  I might not ever understand the experience I had, but I will forever be grateful that you continue day by day to perfect the things around us.  Thank you, LORD God, for your love and protection.

Teach me, Lord, always.  Help me to remain open to all that you have.  Pour your Holy Spirit within my mind and help me to always be open to your wisdom, Father.  I pray, Lord God, for Dissect My Soul members, students, and followers.  Strengthen them, Lord, each day.  They are seeking your presence, Lord, so that we might ALL be in one accord with you.  You know my heart and my prayer for each of them individually, so I pray that your perfect will can prevail in our lives.  We know, Lord God, that it is through your perfect will that we are able to stand.  Amen, Amen and Amen.
