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.

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.

Scripture Reference for Consecration:

Dear Christian Friends, know that God, the Almighty God, loves you and me!  Have you ever “Considered” life without God? Looking at the world alone without the presence of God…where would we be?  True Believers are to live by the words of the LORD.  We cannot govern our existence here on earth without submitting our hearts unto the LORD.  Many say that they know the Lord, and do not.  Others say they can live sinful lives and still be saved, but the word of God does not support this view.

Let us prayerfully study the Word and make a conscious choice to find our way to the throne of God.  Become a character in the story as you “Consider” the scriptures below:

  • Every word of God is pure: he is a shield unto them that put their trust in him.  (Prov 30:5)
  • Look unto me, and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth: for I am God, and there is none else.  I have sworn by myself, the word is gone out of my mouth in righteousness, and shall not return, That unto me every knee shall bow, every tongue shall swear.  (Isaiah 45:22-23)
  • Thy word is true from the beginning: and every one of thy righteous judgments endureth for ever.  (Psalms 119:160)
  • I have refrained my feet from every evil way, that I might keep thy word. (Psalms 119:101)
  • But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God. (Matt 4:4)

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.
