Prayer of Light and Peace

No Comments

Father God,

Fill us with the desire to grow strong
But also with the recognition
That all strength is from You
And feed our desire

Love is flowing from Your hand
Through the hearts of Your children
It pervades and permeates all that is
All that was and all that will be

Grant us the grace to forgive
Let us not seek to be made whole
Wholeness comes only from You
Forgiveness opens anew our hearts

All the gifts in store for us
Set loose this brave new day
Open our eyes to see, our hands to receive
From You all good gifts flow forever

Give to us the peace of clarity
We seek to know Your face
Shield our eyes from humanity’s noise
Take us into Your presence

And as we become bathed in Your peace
Let us shine that peace on the world
You have created us to love You
Guide us to this perfect fate

Strengthen, too, our acceptance
Remind us that all is as You have designed
Teach us in the way of calm compassion
Let us help to still the pond of existence

Teach us to sing Your wondrous praises
Fill us with Your grand and quiet love
Grant us the mind of pure Light
That we might shine through Your children

Lead us, Father, to a heart of graciousness
Fill us with a perfect sense of acceptance
Flood us in Your forever divine love
Let us enjoy the peace of Your heart

Amen

Break Me

No Comments

Father God,

The words escape me
Lead me, guide me
Form the thoughts in my mind

In your perfect glory
All is healed and serene
Please, Lord, take me there

In your forever grace
Love is eternal and here
Hold me in your warm hands

Let me cry these final tears
Take from me the dark sorrows
Release from the snares that bind

Looking back for a moment
I remember your great miracles
Touch me yet again, dear Father

Drifting into the infinite waves of bliss
Your heart and mine are joined
In the rippling reflection of life’s stream

Take this child’s wounded soul
Hold this child’s weeping heart
Relieve me from the misery and loss

I thank you for the brokenness
As I pull you close to me
Amplify and strengthen my need

Let our wills be joined
Let me not need to know why
I surrender to your perfection

Take from me my will
I offer all I ever will be
In your heart’s peace, I am free

In you is all I desire
With you is where I remain
Break me, take me, hold me, heal me

Amen

Trumpets Sound – a prayer

Father God,

Take me
I offer all that I am to you
Only in your will do I find peace
Show me your will this night

As darkness overtakes my heart
I pray for the light of your glory
In your Son I am made whole
Father, please, now flood my soul

Why do these feelings cause such pain?
Why does your hand seem so far from me?
Why does the enemy taunt me so?
Father, show me; help me to know

In the perfection of His prayer before he was bound
My brother told how all the lost could be found
In holiness, oneness, unity with Him
Lead me, dear Father, let angels’ trumpets sound

Thy Kingdom come
Thy will be done
Let me tonight rest in your grace
I love you

Amen

Prayer of New Surrender

Father God,

Remove from your children the need to stand
Give us the courage to bow before your Son
Create in us a desire to take your hand
Help us remember in love we all are One

Let healing flow from the tears that keep us back
Burn away all the fears that we still hold
Destroy our fighting egos, stop now the attack
Teach us again the lessons shared of old

Only fear steals
Hear our appeals
Jesus now reveals
Only love now heals

Let us know and accept and live in the state of grace that is in holy surrender. Let us set aside all grief. Let us know your perfect place. Reveal to us your face.

And so it is…

Amen

Fiery Surrender

Fire from the heavens
Burn this pride from me
Teach me to be humble
Bend my back and knee

Patience is a virtue
I have yet to learn
Teach me, Father God
Help me to discern

Holy Spirit of God
Fill me with your grace
Help me to surrender
Let me see your face
