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 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.

Scripture Reference for Consecration:

Dear Believers in Christ Jesus.  NEVER take God for granted.  He is our only hope in all things.  His arms are outstretched and waiting for us all to love Him unconditionally. Please read and consider the words below.  He who hath an ear to hear, let him hear what the Lord is saying.  Amen.

  • 6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. 7 Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again. 8 The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the  Spirit. (John 3:6-8)
  • God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth. (John 4:24)
  • Dead things are formed from under the waters, and the inhabitants thereof. 6 Hell is naked before him, and destruction hath no covering. 7 He stretcheth out the north over the empty place, and hangeth the earth upon nothing. 8 He bindeth up the waters in his thick clouds; and the cloud is not rent under them. 9 He holdeth back the face of his throne, and spreadeth his cloud upon it. 10 He hath compassed the waters with bounds, until the day and night come to an end. 11 The pillars of heaven tremble and are astonished at his reproof. 12 He divideth the sea with his power, and by his understanding he smiteth through the proud. 13 By his spirit he hath garnished the heavens; his hand hath formed the crooked serpent. 14 Lo, these are parts of his ways: but how little a portion is heard of him? but the thunder of his power who can understand? (Job 26:5-14)

Thoughts: LORD, I Give You My Whole Heart For The Rest Of My Life

/in /by

Mark 12:30 And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this is the first commandment.

The Bible teaches us many things, but there is one penetrating theme that is echoed throughout…Love the LORD God with ALL your heart! This principle is spoken of by most believers who declare that they practice this love continuously. The problem is that most of the Christian world is clueless to what it means to truly love God or to surrender the whole heart. We have become accustomed to saying things which conform to the scripture without experiencing what is required. I personally judge no one and simply state that which God Himself has revealed.

To truly grasp the understanding of what it means to surrender the whole heart to the LORD, we must understand the spiritual world. We must know that things are not as they seem or evidenced by what we see with our natural eyes. What we see is not always what is! There is an enemy of God whose purpose is to confuse us and draw us away from the truth of who God is. This enemy is the Devil, Satan, and/or all forces of evil.  Again, without a clear experience of the holy spiritual realm, my comments will not be materialized in your hearts.

Know for a certainty that God created mankind to forever be in His presence; to rely on Him always. The evil forces of this world have taught man to not trust God by teaching self-reliance. Remember, Satan is all about Self! When you find yourself acting upon what is best for you alone, step back and question your motives. Always seek the face of the LORD God. Even if you do not have a personal relationship with the LORD and don’t know how to proceed, if you honestly want to know who He is, just ask. God WILL respond to all honest requests to know Him. I promise you…I guarantee you…, if you honestly and truly seek the LORD to develop a personal relationship with Him, it will be granted! Your request will be judged by God alone based on the contents and desires of your heart. What you proclaim with your mouth will not be received if the words spoken are not equivalent to what’s in the heart. God alone will discern the intent of the heart. Give the LORD your heart today and live the life you were created to live!

Be Blessed Always…
