Make Me a Container in Which Your Healing Medicine Abides

Psalms, Prayers, and Devotionals
 

 Master God,

             Sharpen my wits and help me communicate the Love You revealed to me that night of our mystical union in the sky.  Enrich my understanding and broaden my perceptions that I might have a deeper awareness of You.   Make me a container in which Your healing medicine abides.

     Thank You for taking me places, to euphoria and felicity.  These higher pleasure centers You opened, these charkas I can feel.  My heart is a circuit for Your compassion.  Help me use the gifts You blessed me with  Are we making a difference yet?  I know that only through You shall any works survive the flames.

     Fleeting, these moments in time.  I feel inadequate and broken, alienated and alone.  I am incapable of what You entrusted.   Except it be done through Your Spirit, the mission shall fail.  Let my will decrease, while Your Love in me continue to grow.

     You shine so brightly;  I aspire to reflect Your glory.  Come shine in me Beloved; I beckon You closer.  Come take me to our intimate hideaway.  I have beheld Your majesty and splendor and am enraptured in Your bliss.  If only I could raise up my center; if only I could activate the energy of Your Love. 

     Oh Lord, dreams travel lofty and lucid but cloudy on specifics.  Only I know that I am leaning upon You.  Your grace astounds me in how You continue to open up new pathways for me.

     You have made provisions for me to climb out of this trench.  What awesome chemistry You mix together; what potential for greatness You instill.  I fawn over You.  I call You Master because that is who You are to me.  I call You Lord because that is who You are.  

     Show me Your Power, dear Lord.  Deliver me with a mighty hand.  Build me up slowly and renew my spirit and strength, for these tears in me go unexpressed.  My Love in You shall overcome.  I escape reality with You because You show me the power of Your miracles, and this reality few people know—that You interact in the affairs of men and have commissioned legions of angels for the protection and provision of Your anointed.  My eyes opened when You entered my heart.  Lord, communicate through me in a way that helps others know You.  In Jesus Name.  Amen.

Spectator of My Own Life

Psalms, Prayers, and Devotionals

      I will be kind to those who cross my path.  I will rejoice in You daily, in prayer, meditations, and our communions together.  I know You will sponsor my endeavors.  Although I have failed You in the past, I shall continue to trust in You all the more, to be preoccupied and focused upon You all the more.  I fantasize about our time together, how it will be when there are no further distractions.  You shall teach me Mastery over deliberation.  You shall manifest fully in my heart and body.  Let healing begin.  Let pain be purged until there is nothing but the joy of Your suffering.  Make me spectator of my own life, as I watch You live and operate through me.  Thanks be to God.  In Jesus Name.  Amen.

Flowers in the Sun

Psalms, Prayers, and Devotionals

Dearest Master,

          Like a flower, I am dependent upon You, my Star, for light, warmth, and growth.  Take me on a new adventure, a higher plane where I am surrounded by shiny happy people; fellow believers who are like flowers in the Sun. I wait for You to return to earth, continually watching the sky like a flower in the sun.  In Jesus’ name.  Amen.

Love Within

Psalms, Prayers, and Devotionals

Dear Lord,     

          You soothe my aches and set me free into the stratosphere.  You are the object of my devotion, the healer of my wounds.   Your Love is the fountainhead of my hope.  I am confounded that a mere mortal as me could get to know you, a mere flesh-and-bone man on earth be introduced to the things of Your Spirit   You reveal secrets and I am thankfully Yours.
     Lord, I have received from You, and therefore it is incumbent upon me to share Love with others, to testify of Your peace and publicize Your invitation to come, all who thirst—Come! Love suffers long, endures torture, and overcomes death.  Love offers eternal life to those who will receive.  Let the Spirit of the Lord, that Spirit of Love, be stirred in the hearts of the People.  In Jesus’ name.  Amen.

The Passing of Moons and Seasons Morph My Character into Something New

Psalms, Prayers, and Devotionals

Dear Lord,     

          Where the heavens of the boundless firmament touch the morning dew of yesterday, there shall I be like the sentinel who waits for the dawn, there shall I be waiting for You my Lord.

     I am empty as a hollow chasm without thy Spirit.  The tears of my eyes are muffled by this numb reality, the passing of moons and seasons morph my character into someone new.  I wonder and wish for my God and Savior to extend the right hand of His mercy toward me, to fill me as a cup that overfloweth and make my mission clear.

     Distractions plague my attention, scattering my efforts in all directions and yet none.  Must I scream aloud, my Lord, for You to hear me?  For surely I scream within, unsure of what to do and why.  It was me, my Lord, I am the guilty party who sinned against You.  Have mercy upon my soul, I pray.  Come heal me, Beloved.

     So long as time remains here on earth so shall my hope remain that You will use me for some purpose.  Let the people know that God lives in the land, and in the heart.  In Jesus’ name.  Amen.

But Now You Reside in the Hearts of Men

Psalms, Prayers, and Devotionals

Master, having You on my side transcends all my fears and worries.  Having Your Love in my heart is all the proof I need.  I starve down here for healthy interaction, to find inspiration and strength.  You always come through for me when I need You, especially when the chips are down.  Please rewrite this storied life.  I work to give You a gift when You return to earth—my life lived through Your grace.

     Activate Your magic in me; awaken Your Spirit and make me to shine of Your radiance.  David chose to build You a temple, but before that You dwelt in tents and tabernacles, in the Ark of the Covenant.  But now You reside in the hearts of men.  Oh, what a blessed and sweet covenant we share.  What holy and unconditional promises You have spoken to me!  It causes me to rejoice; it has put a dance in my step.  It is by Your Spirit that You have determined to abide in my heart.

     Why do I write You these Love letters other than to adore You?  I want You to consume me, Lord.  Channel and turn my intentions toward Your purposes.  Deliver my eyes from tears, my feet from falling.  Make me to behold You in Your coming glory, to behold Your face again while I am yet in the land of the living.

     I have seen, though I desire to see again.  I have experienced, though I desire to experience You again.  Make sweet music in me, my Honeybee, pollinate me with Your Spirit and Love.

     Thanks be to the blood of the lamb, the death of the spotless One who knew not sin but became sin for me that I might have eternal life.  The music, the song, the truth, and wisdom is so overwhelming.  Many put their faith in government or riches, but I will wait upon the Lord.  In Jesus’ name.  Amen.
