Fragile,
Frustrating,
Frightening,
Flourishing,
Formidable,
Fantastic Way of life.
LORD JESUS,

Scattered throughout the UNIVERSE are souls RADIANT with the LIGHT of GOD.
They seek neither fame nor riches.
They are not lost in the maize of mediocrity.
Nor are they trapped in the bondage of condemnation.
From suffering, they have learned compassion.
From rejection, humility.
And from disappointment HOPE.
These are the exemplars of the GOSPEL.
The LIVELY STONES of the TRUE CHURCH.
"LORD, I want to be a CHRISTIAN in my heart.
LORD, I want to be more HOLY in my heart.
LORD, I want to be like JESUS in my heart."
To usher the RESPLENDENT GLORY of The LORD into the SANCTUARY.
To abide in the Womb of PROPHECY.
To magnetize HEALING into the lives of the sick, wounded and suffering.
LORD GOD,
I want to live the rest of my life and FOREVER
To the PRAISE of YOUR ETERNAL GLORY.
IN THE HALLOWED NAME OF JESUS.
AMEN.
~Reverend Dr. Cecelia Williams Bryant~
To LIVE as CHRIST demands an inordinate degree of INTEGRITY and RESILIENCE.
SUCH LIVING draws the Soul beyond mortal considerations and distractions.
SUCH LIVING magnetizes the Beautiful and repels the carnal.
THIS IS the TRUTH of HOLINESS.
DEAR LORD JESUS CHRIST,
As YOU welcome YOUR servants to uncommon moments of BLISS;
I regret and repent for the hours of disconnection in my life.
And I take this occasion to acknowledge and embrace YOUR Supremacy.
The human predicament has become rank with deceit,
hypocrisy
and emptiness.
YOU alone bring value and meaning to our days and nights.
YOU alone LOVE unconditionally.
Listen compassionately.
Encourage with enthusiasm.
And defend us against the very thoughts of the wicked!
NOW, ABBA,
Incline our hearts to TRUST YOURS Completely.
In the NAME of JESUS.
AMEN.
~Reverend Dr. Cecelia Williams Bryant~
LIVE

I am PRAYING for a SEASON of REFRESHING.
A SEASON of Cosmic REalignment.
A SEASON of transformative WELLNESS.
A SEASON of REsurgence for the CHURCH of JESUS CHRIST among the nations.

GOD of all HOLINESS, GRACE, BEAUTY and TRUTH,
Help us to HEAR each other's hearts.
Help us to HEAL each other's hurts.
Help us to DREAM and DANCE TOGETHER in Kingdom orbit.
TODAY, I am PRAYING for SUPERNATURAL COMMUNION among the People of GOD.
LORD draw us closer to YOU and one another.
DISARM us of our defenses and pretenses.
THROUGH the window of Calvary,

Help us to be OVERTAKEN by a fresh Sense of Spontaneity.
Nudge us out of our self imposed complexities.
GREAT MAJESTY OF THE UNIVERSE,
LET TRUST in the SACRED visit us from ETERNITY.
Teach us how to BREATHE DEEPLY of the MYSTERIES of Life.
And more than anything else,
AWAKEN in us a PROFOUND and ABIDING LOVE for YOU.
NOW and FOREVER MORE.
IN THE NAME OF JESUS.
AMEN.
~Reverend Dr. Cecelia Williams Bryant~
MY PRAYING is to the GOD of
TIME and ETERNITY.
Chronos and Kairos.
Yesterday, Today and Forever.
The evening and the Mornning.
Midnight and HIGH NOON.
"A DAY in YOUR Courts is better than a thousand elsewhere."
LORD help me not to miss NOVEMBER.
With all that is going on both within me and around me:
The GLORY and PAIN of creation.
The impotence and vulnerability of the human predicament.
Eyes looking into mine for acknowledgement or hope.
The Histories, Tragedies and Joys of Family living.
The bloodshed of childbirth, murder and surgery.
The inexplicable paradox of Clergy suicide.
The contagious laughter of a child's Birthday party.
A place to call, "HOME".
THANK YOU LORD.
FOR the Gospel.
For Literacy.
For LOVE.
And for clear and present memories.
In the NAME OF JESUS.
AMEN.
~Reverend Dr. Cecelia Williams Bryant~
LORD JESUS CHRIST,
HOLY and WONDERFUL YOU are.
BRIGHT and GLORIOUS the Path that leads to YOUR THRONE ROOM.
HOLY TRINITY,
PLEASE Teach us HOW to LIVE in this world.
Show us the ways of Grace and Humility.
AWAKEN in each Soul the Desire to Honor our Elders.
Teach us again how to ENCOURAGE, BLESS and PROTECT our Children.
And help us To walk REVERENTLY in the HOUSE OF GOD.
MOST GRACIOUS and COMPASSIONATE SOVEREIGN of the UNIVERSE.
We have eyes.
Yet we are blind to innocence, beauty and opportunity.
We have ears.
But we cannot seem to hear YOUR VOICE.
Our hearts are beating and broken.
Our hands have grown limp with indifference.
And our knees are made feeble with distraction.
ABBA we NEED to be Born Again AGAIN!
Help us to "cast off the sin that so easily besets us"!
PLEASE FORGIVE us.
SANCTIFY us.
AND LEAD us along the WAY of HOLINESS.
IN THE NAME OF JESUS.
AMEN.
~Reverend Dr. Cecelia Williams Bryant~
If for whatever reason in life you never had a CHILDHOOD;
HAVE ONE TODAY!
Be INNOCENT.
LAUGH for no apparent reason.
Offer something SWEET to a stranger.
RUN in circles.
KISS yourself in the mirror!
Say Your GRACE for Ice Cream.
Make up a SONG about any old thing and sing it LOUD.
Tell JESUS your secrets.
And Go to SLEEP Happy.
Dear HOLY TRINITY,
THANK YOU that no matter how old we are, we will always be your Child.
PLEASE heal us of all the wounds we suffered in our growing up years.
ABBA, we need YOUR Gentleness and YOUR strength.
Give us the courage to LIVE Happily.
SIMPLIFY our complex thoughts.
Help us to be KIND and FORGIVING to ourselves and one another.
DRAW us and KEEP us close to YOU.
IN the NAME of JESUS.
AMEN.
THANK YOU, ABBA
~Reverend Dr. Cecelia Williams Bryant~
There is an amazing Freedom that comes with
LIVING OUT GOD's Plan,
Purpose
and Process for our lives.
While GOD's "timing" may not always be in accordance with our
preferences; even Kingdom "inconveniences" have a way of Blessing us.
LORD GOD OF AMAZEMENT,
SENSATION and
SUPERNATURAL TIMING.
Thank you for the GRACE to live through life's delays.
The RESILIENCE to embrace unexpected loss and failure.
The LOVE that sustained me, when I was depressed.
The ENERGY to keep working, when others fell short.
AND the realization that YOUR HAND was holding me even when I could not HEAR YOUR VOICE!
THANK YOU HOLY TRINITY For YOUR boundless MERCY.
PLEASE help me to so live that HEAVEN will smile.
This is my PRAYER.
In the NAME OF JESUS.
AMEN.
~Reverend Dr. Cecelia Williams Bryant~
WHEN we accept JESUS CHRIST as LORD of our Lives;
We are ALSO accepting CHANGE, ACCOUNTABILITY and COMPASSION as our way of Living out our DESTINY.
We know that we are living a SURRENDERED LIFE when:
PURPOSE is more important than possessions.
PEOPLE are of greater value than position.
And the Call to PIETY is experienced as a GIFT rather than a duty.
DEAR HOLY SPIRIT, YOU are welcome in My Life.
Help me to live FREE of the trappings of vanity.
Lead me to the river of life that I may be Baptized into deep waters.
ENLARGE my thinking, my Vision, my territory and my KINGDOM Impact.
I want to BE a Friend of GOD.
To be GOD BREATHED.
GOD DIRECTED.
GOD POSITIONED.
And GOD ESTABLISHED.
In the BLESSED NAME OF JESUS.
AMEN.
~Reverend Dr. Cecelia Williams Bryant~
And so it is GOD to WHOM we turn at the end of a Day or a Trial or a Lifetime; simply to Discover the Meaning of our lives.
In that moment when humans approach the HOLY ALTAR;
Some of us are hesitant and unsure.
Many are grateful and relieved.
Others are numb with regret or disappointment.
NEVERTHELESS, let us go to GOD in PRAYER.
LORD JESUS CHRIST.
We come seeking your permission to ride the train of Calvary into the PRESENCE of GOD.
We need to scatter before the THRONE:
Our struggling Halleluias.
Our anemic vows.
Our maps without legend.
Our sicknesses and diseases.
Please HAVE MERCY UPON us.
In this unpredictable chapter of being mortal;
we vacillate between feeling humdrum, wretched and zealous.
We too often find ourselves the polar opposite of popular Christianity.
Where they see "icons" of the Faith, we see wounded sparrows.
And too often our own pain rips through any expectation of JOY.
LORD PLEASE HAVE MERCY UPON US.
WE PRAY for The CHURCH,
RELEASE her from bondage.
WASH the scales from her eyes.
UNstop her ears.
STRENGTHEN her feeble knees.
Lift up her bowed down head.
UNFURL her wings; that she may FLY.
THIS we ask in JESUS' NAME.
AMEN.
~Reverend Dr. Cecelia Williams Bryant~
LORD JESUS CHRIST.
I am PRAYING for the HEALING of the PLANET.
May the air be free of pollutants.
May the land be free of toxic waste.
May the waters be HEALED.
May biodiversity be RESTORED.
May ALL Violence CEASE.
LORD PLEASE FORGIVE us our excess, indulgence and wastefulness.
FORGIVE us our hoarding, consumerism, vanity and CLUTTER.
And help us to become more gracious and compassionate stewards of the earth and her resources.
TODAY,
HOLY SPIRIT,
TEACH us to OPEN
our hearts,
our minds,
our lives,
our homes
and our Churches to the SACRED BEAUTY of CREATION.
In the NAME OF JESUS.
AMEN.
~Reverend Dr. Cecelia Williams Bryant~
LORD I honor YOUR NAME.
I rejoice in the Unbroken GIFT of YOUR PRESENCE.
I am immensely Grateful for Life,
Health,
FRIENDSHIP
and the GRACE that makes it possible.
LORD TODAY, I am PRAYING for My FRIENDS.
Men and Women who are so devoted to YOU that their LOVE for me is
Unshakeable.
Unconditional.
Untarnished.
LORD thank YOU for My FRIENDS.
Women and Men who
Celebrate My Gifts.
Pray for my weaknesses.
Encourage my Family.
And Counsel me with COMPASSION.
LORD JESUS CHRIST,
PLEASE BLESS My FRIENDS today.
UNLEASH SUPERNATURAL HEALING in the bodies of those who are sick.
GRANT PEACE and SERENITY to those who may be discouraged.
OPEN FRESH STREAMS of Income for any whose finances are weak.
LORD GOD, From "whom all Families are named".
BLESS the FAMILIES of My Friends with Unity, Peace and Happiness.
In the Name of JESUS.
BECAUSE YOU are a FRIEND above all others;
LORD JESUS CHRIST, in the Power of the HOLY GHOST,
Please help me to LIVE THE REST OF MY LIFE as a FRIEND OF GOD.
IN the Name of JESUS. (7X)
Amen.
~Reverend Dr. Cecelia Williams Bryant~
WORSHIP can be the MOST Mystical,
Transformative,
Liberating,
CLEANSING experience in the life of the SOUL.
HUMILITY, GRATITUDE and AMAZEMENT are 3 of many Pathways that open the GATES to TRUE WORSHIP.
THE PARADOX that is incomprehensible to unbelievers is this:
PREexisting conditions do not have the power to ANNUL WORSHIP.
We can be in pain and WORSHIP the LORD.
We can be persecuted and WORSHIP the LORD.
We can attend the funeral of a loved one and WORSHIP THE LORD.
This is only possible because WORSHIP is a Spiritual matter!
Oh BLESSED and HOLY TRINITY,
The Source of LIGHT, BEAUTY and PASSION.
YOU Alone SANCTIFY.
Purge me of the very shadow and residue of darkness.
"ANOINT my head with oil."
IGNITE such GLORYING in my SOUL that wherever YOU lead me; an authentic SPIRIT of WORSHIP will be UNLEASHED in the earth realm.
Hear my PRAYER OH LORD,
And grant my fervent supplication.
In the NAME of the FATHER,
And the SON,
And the HOLY GHOST.
AMEN (7X)
~Reverend Cecelia Williams Bryant~
IT's YOUR turn to SHINE!
YOU are RIGHTLY positioned for KINGDOM of GOD IMPACT.
EVERYTHING that you have been through has the potential to bring SUPERNATURAL promotion.
There has never been nor will there ever be ANYONE with your UNIQUE:
Genius.
Gifting.
Suffering.
Vision.
Destiny.
RIGHT NOW YOU have EVERYTHING you need to OBEY GOD!
"SPEAK LORD, YOUR servant is listening.
In the name of the FATHER,
and the SON,
and THE HOLY GHOST.
AMEN. (7X)
~Reverend Cecelia Williams Bryant~
Friends,
THERE is LOVE in this world.
With all of the intrigue and confusion, violence and death;
I am a True WITNESS for LOVE.
LOVE lives and breathes and broods in the midst of us.
LOVE sings and dances.
LOVE makes magic happen and unveils mysteries.
LOVE is GOD is LOVE.
"OH LOVE DIVINE, All LOVES Excelling",
Impart to me YOUR nature.
Resuscitate my dying Passion.
Restore my Innocence and HEAL my poverty of emotion.
TODAY, Let YOUR LOVE in me become:
Buoyant.
Transparent.
Unconditional.
Redemptive.
Therapeutic.
Liberating.
HOLY.
THAT all the WORLD would BELIEVE in GOD.
THIS is my PRAYER.
In the NAME OF JESUS.
AMEN. (7X)
