Prayer

Do you need Me?

I am there.

You cannot see Me, yet I am the light you see by.

You cannot hear Me, yet I speak through your voice.

You cannot feel Me, yet I am the power at work in your hands.

I am at work, though you do not understand My ways.

I am at work, though you do not understand My works.

I am not strange visions. I am not mysteries.

Only in absolute stillness, beyond self, can you know Me

as I am, and then but as a feeling and a faith.

Yet I am there. Yet I hear. Yet I answer.

When you need Me, I am there.

Even if you deny Me, I am there.

Even when you feel most alone, I am there.

Even in your fears, I am there.

Even in your pain, I am there.

I am there when you pray and when you do not pray.

I am in you, and you are in Me.

Only in your mind can you feel separate from Me, for

only in your mind are the mists of "yours" and "mine."

Yet only with your mind can you know Me and experience Me.

Empty your heart of empty fears.

When you get yourself out of the way, I am there.

You can of yourself do nothing, but I can do all.

And I am in all.

Though you may not see the good, good is there, for

I am there. I am there because I have to be, because I am.

Only in Me does the world have meaning;

only out of Me does the world take form;

only because of Me does the world go forward.

I am the law on which the movement of the stars

and the growth of living cells are founded.

I am the love that is the law's fulfilling.

I am assurance.

I am peace.

I am oneness.

I am the law that you can live by.

I am the love that you can cling to.

I am your assurance.

I am your peace.

I am ONE with you.

I am.

Though you fail to find Me, I do not fail you.

Though your faith in Me is unsure,

My faith in you never wavers,

because I know you, because I love you.

Beloved, I AM there

Hi

When we decided to apply for Aus, I kept on praying that God will give me a "Word" or a confirmation via somebody that this is the country and city where He wants us to be.

The more I prayed, the less "Words" I got.

Then one day, it was as if God Himself said to me "You can serve Me and lead others to Me, wherever you are. You are not only of use to Me in SA"

That kind of settled it. And yes, I know my family and I have had heaps of Godly influence in other people's lives in this country!

Keep close to God, He will direct your every path. He will show you which is the right church, school, city, suburb, job and which people to stay away from and which you can trust with your children!

have a great day!

Hey Plz, Thanks for that! great quote!

I read something by Nichole Nordeman which I love - actually it is a song by her called, I Am and I really like it - i offer offer for what it's worth. (I can't decide if I like her as a composer or a lyricist more...)

Pencil marks on a wall

I wasn't always this tall,

You scattered some monsters from beneath my bed,

You watched my team win,

You watched my team lose,

You watched when my bicycle went down again,

CHORUS:

And When I was weak unable to speak,

still I could call You by name,

and I said “Elbow healer, Superhero,

come if You can,†and You said “I amâ€

Only 16, life is so mean, what kind of curfew is at ten PM

You saw my mistakes, You watched my heart break

Heard when I swore I’d never love again

CHORUS:

When I was weak, unable to speak,

still I could call You by name,

and I said “Heart-ache Healer, Secret-keeper,

be my Best Friend†and You said “I amâ€

You saw me wear white, by pale candlelight,

I said forever to what lies ahead

two kids and a dream, with kids that can scream

too much it might seem when it’s two AM

CHORUS:

when I am weak, unable to speak,

still I will call You by name.

“Oh Shepherd, Savior, Pasture-maker,

hold on to my hand,†and You say “I am.â€

The winds of change,

And circumstance blow in and all around

us so we find a foothold that’s familiar,

And bless the moments that we feel You nearer

Life had begun, I was woven and spun,

You let the angels dance around the throne, who can say when,

But they’ll dance again, when I am free and finally headed home

CHORUS:

I will be weak, unable to speak,

still I will call You by name

“Creator, Maker, Life-sustainer,

Comforter, Healer, My Redeemer,

Lord and King, Beginning and

the End, I am, yes, I am.â€

Take care,

Rodney

I must say I like that first prayer.Acknowledgement of the Creator is of paramount importance to every person on earth.Decisions like a major move should be discussed with the Godhead and we should all listen to the answers we reeive.They are after all,from G-d
