Prayer changes things, beginning with us!

Monday’s Message

We pray
before we eat
Before we leave
But, do we pray before we speak?
What words will we say
When our Creator we will meet?
Maybe something unordinary…
possibly something extraordinary
 
Either way
When that day comes
and we meet face to face
falling on my knees I will say:
Father, forgive me for my mortal ways
My sinful nature
My speak now, save later
Rage
Stubborn
Selfish demeanor
 
Who am I?
Not a leader
But what have I become?
A mother
A teacher
A calling beyond my skills
Because when I pray
I pray Your will
 
A place where I feel still
Despite the chaos
The turmoil
and spilt milk
Within Your presence I begin to feel
A peace
A purpose
Words bubbling up from beneath the surface
 
My heart of stone
Cracking open
No longer alone
Your blood runs through me
Warming my bones
 
This life
So new to me
A new place
A fresh start
Engrave your words upon my heart
Let me be your instrument
Your pen
A beacon to Your children
 
Word of God speak
Breathe life into me
and when I pray
I will do so boldly
Not only
Before I eat
and in the morning before I leave
Bur during all hours of the day
Lord, I dare pray
That you mold me
 
Show me your way
Before I speak
Before I leave
Before I make my imprint upon the day
Mark my path
Lead me straight
Shod my feet
With the Gospel of Peace
-Ephesians 6:15
