Prayers

Life is precious for it is a gift given to us from the Lord above. We do not deserve life, but because of grace, we are given it. We believe in the right reasons and in the right decisions, but there will always be evil within our midst. Keep us away from evil, Lord, and let your peace and mercy endure in this world.

Our lifetime is but a small piece of what is in front of an ever-lasting God, a short prayer about not forgetting to connect and build a life that is pleasing to him as much as we can.

I woke up last night to Psalm 134. It is an oddly simple psalm, not quite as short as Psalm 117, but it reminded me of the Lord’s prayer. Prayers can be simple and concise and yet have complete context of what it is to be part of God’s world.

Often times, when we snap back into reality, not all people would be in sync, not all people would believe, and not all people would be curious, especially if the price of certain things is steep. A short prayer for those souls that are in need.

As we are part of God and God is a part of us, this small prayer helps us become a good body of Christ that seeks the good of others.

Listening is one of the main traits of God. He is always listening and is able to listen to us even through differences in communicating. Thus, we must also be aware and ready to hear in different ways that He responds.

When we see things through God’s eyes, it does not only shift our perspective about ourselves but also others, that we are created equal and called to love and love others around us.

Satan daily takes delight in making us miserable. All of this is lifted up to the Lord, as even Jesus commanded us to turn the other cheek. Allowing us to show the abundance of mercy that God gives daily.

As His mercies are renewed daily, we also daily welcome Him into our hearts, even as we welcome others. He shows us how to be a good host in a world that is always searching and taking. He shows us how to give and how to receive those wanting to be filled.
