Abide In Me

LORD and SOVEREIGN MAJESTY.

How can I live; except YOU live in me.

TRINITY of my FAITH.

Cause my character and my nature to be a reflection of YOURS.

HOLY ONE of ETERNITY.

BE at Home within me.

I welcome YOU in YOUR fullness.

MAKE my Temple YOUR SANCTUARY.

Let My Soul be A DWELLING PLACE for YOUR GLORY.

OH Precious SON and Martyred Messiah.

Oh BEAUTIFUL REDEEMER.

ABIDE in me.

Abide in me.

Abide in me.

IN THE NAME OF JESUS.

AMEN.

THURSDAY MORNING GRATITUDE

 

THANK YOU JESUS.
FOR HEALING songs.
SONGS of VICTORY. TRIUMPH and OVERCOMING.

...

THANK YOU JESUS.
For sweet melodies to hum when confronted by the tricks of the devil.
For the power to moan through the pain.
For Hymns that NEVER die.

THANK YOU JESUS.
That just one chord on the piano or organ can trigger:
The RELEASE.
An AWAKENING.
BREAKTHROUGH!

THANK YOU JESUS.
YOU ARE the MUSIC of My Soul.
And I LOVE YOU.
AMEN.

CHOSEN for the FAVOR of the LORD

GOD, YOU are SO AMAZINGLY AWESOME!
I am so THANKFUL to HEAVEN for the WELCOME Given
To Our BELOVED....

SO THANKFUL that as I release them to YOU;
I also let go of all painful memories,
Images of suffering,
And thoughts of desperation.

THANK YOU for helping me to face and embrace
the dynamic mystery of Human Relationships:
Being hurt by and hurting the ones that I LOVE.
OVER RIDING blatant and cruel Rejection.
The Risk and Liberation of caring.
WONDERING.......

THANK YOU for A Day to REMEMBER Again that I AM:
LOVED.
BEAUTIFUL.
HEALED.
CHOSEN for the FAVOR of the LORD.

IN THE NAME OF JESUS.
AMEN.

TUESDAY MORNING GRATITUDE

 

 

LORD JESUS CHRIST,
SON of GOD REIGN FOREVER.
IN my heart, my thoughts, my experiences, my relationships and my PRAYERS.

 

Thank YOU for not giving me over to that which I feared was TOO strong for me:
Heart Disease and all manner of sicknesses.
Failure.
Rejection.
Poverty and Lack.
Depression. Anxiety and Panic Attacks.
Rumors. Chaos and Confusion.
THANK YOU JESUS.

YOU NEVER gave up on me even when I wanted to give up!
So I took the "High Road" when the low road would have been more gratifying.
I stepped back giving place to the undeserving.
I swallowed hard when I really wanted to SCREAM.
I accepted insults without Revenge.
AND now they are ALL "under my feet!"
THANK YOU JESUS.

YOU knew the plans YOU had for me.
YOU knew that my life is in YOUR HANDS.
YOU knew that I had to be taught that the Power of the GOSPEL could not be reduced to my ego needs.
YOU knew that PREVAILING PRAYER would eventually help me to get it RIGHT.
THANK YOU JESUS.

DO with me what YOU WILL.
TO THE PRAISE of the GLORY OF GOD.
In the NAME OF JESUS.

AMEN.
THANK YOU JESUS.

Tuesday's Prayer

 

NEEDING GOD and LOVING GOD are not always the SAME thing.
SERVING GOD and Church WORK are not always the same thing.
HEARING the WORD and LISTENING to a SERMON are not always the same thing....

So today I AM PRAYING that:
THE GOSPEL and my lifestyle will be ONE.
MY PRAYERS and GOD's WILL are ONE.
THE HOPE in me and The POWER OF GOD will be ONE.

IN the NAME OF JESUS.
AMEN.

Wednesday's Prayer

 

DEAR JESUS,
I surrender all the matters touching my WELL BEING,
that of our FAMILY and EPISCOPACY to YOU....
With the commencement of the HALF YEAR countdown;
I acknowledge that as for me:
THE WINTER has been long and hard.
The POOR are besieged by an UNFRIENDLY Congress.
THE CHRISTIAN CHURCH is in upheaval locally and globally.
The MENTAL HEALTH of children is gravely at risk.
And the very PLANET is sinking into a combustible holocaust.
WHAT would YOU have me to do?
LORD give me the WORD to speak to the Nations.
How shall I go forth from this DAY that the Peoples shall NOT BE LOST?
This is the PRAYING OF MY HEART.
IN THE NAME OF JESUS.
TO THE GLORY OF GOD.
AMEN.

 

~Reverend Dr. Cecelia Williams Bryant~

 

 

Lord, Have Mercy

 

LORD GOD of ETERNITY and HISTORY;
I PLACE our need in YOUR HOLY HANDS.
HAVE Mercy upon us MOST MERCIFUL FATHER for...
YOUR SON our LORD JESUS CHRIST's sake.

AMEN.

THANK YOU SO MUCH.

Monday's Prayer

LORD JESUS CHRIST;
I want to MANIFEST EVERY KINGDOM GRACE and GIFT that is needful for the EMPOWERMENT of YOUR DISCIPLES,
The dismantling of the infrastructure of evil and ...
THE HEALING of The SICK.
IN THE NAME OF JESUS.
AMEN.
LORD may it ever be SO!
