Questions and reflections


Starry, starry sky,
Where is your Maker?
Bright firmament,
Where is your creator?
Heavenly bodies,
Where is our God?
 
Sun and moon,
How did you get there?
Sky and earth,
Who placed you there?
Creation,
Where is our God?
 
Wind and rain,
How do you know when to show yourself?
Sunset and sunrise,
What makes you so beautiful?
Elements of life,
Where is our God?
 
Trees and grass,
What is your truth?
Birds and flowers,
What is your calling?
Mother Nature,
Where is our God?
 
Hills and valleys,
Do you know me?
Mountains and shores,
Why do you inspire me?
Life,
Where is our God?

ten prayers




 
 
Ten simple prayers from Guideposts WHAT PRAYER CAN DO

 

1.       Lord, have mercy.

2.       Here I am.

3.       Speak, Lord, your servant heareth.

4.       Show your power.

5.       Not my will but yours.

6.       My help comes from the Lord, the maker of heaven and earth.

7.       When I am afraid, I put my trust in you.

8.       Bring your kingdom.

9.       Come, Lord Jesus.

10.   Say the word.

 

 
Inspired by Psalms, Luke, 1 Samuel, Isaiah, and Revelation, I will memorize these and use often. I already use, Lord, in your mercy. I add one of my own I like from the Gospels, Peace be still. Pray without ceasing the Bible tells us. I try to do this. I try to listen for his voice. I try to speak to him often. I try to thank him, praise him and thank him throughout the day. I know he listens. I know he answers. I know he loves to hear from me.
