MORNING & EVENING PRAYERS

[Kimberly Walker (& Donald)]

WELCOME! Come on in a sit a while. Allow the QUIETNESS of this moment rest upon you. Let the Holy Spirit speak His prayer to and through your heart.

No matter whether it is MORNING or EVENING, let Him lead you in this time that you have set aside for prayer and meditation. While you are here you may need to just read some of the prayers of others. Maybe you have a prayer to lead us in. Simply follow you heart. Holy Spirit knows just where you need to go and just what you need to do. Where ever He takes you ~ let that be OK with you.

"We pray in the morning to give the first stirrings of our minds to God. Before anything else, let the thought of God gladden you." ~ 4th Century Saint

There is a LINK to "MORNING & EVENING PRAYERS" in the right hand column of any page of our Living Whole website as a REMINDER and so to make it very easy for you to arrive on this page at the beginning or end of your day.

[Kimberly Walker (& Donald)]

Oh Lord our God, our refuge and strength,
--listen to our praise at the beginning of this day,
--teach us to praise you without end.
In you we place our faith and hope,
--we wait upon you and listen in anticipation of hearing your heartbeat,
--knowing that our waiting is always rewarded.
You know our needs and always come to our aid,
--form our desires to become the very essence of your desires,
--without you we can do nothing.
We come bringing an offering of PRAISE,
--praying that it is one that excites your heart,
--and one that is pleasing unto you, Lord, in every way....

THIS is the day that the Lord hath made... we WILL rejoice and be glad in it.
Loving Father, as I come to the evening part of my day I think of my sisters just waking to the morning of their day. I bring them each one to you Lord and ask that you would bless them abundantly. Give them strength, courage and JOY to meet this day that lies before them with all its trials, difficulties, hurdles and pleasures. Bless them Lord and give them a song and joy in their hearts today as they walk with you.
Father, may each of our lives be that MELODY for You, and may Jesus be seen in all that we do. Amen

[Joy]

FRIDAY JULY 10, 2009

Good morning LORD! Father you are our LIGHT in this dark world, awaken our hearts in this new day. It is only because of Jesus and what He did on the cross that you have enlightened the world, and given us new hope. Father, send your Spirit upon us and make us faithful. LIGHT of the world, won't you shine on those here today who's world feels dark - who are in pain, and feeling hopeless and dismayed. In their moment of despair I pray they will hear you voice singing quietly over them and be encouraged. I pray our eyes will be set firmly on YOU today no matter what comes our way. Cause us to shine BRIGHTLY in this dark world....

You are good and merciful,
slow to anger and of great kindness.
You, our Lord, are faithful in all your words and holy in all your works.
Thank your Father that you are the one that lifts up all who are falling
and raises up all who are bowed down.
We look hopefully to you,
You give us our food in due season;
You open your hand and satisfy the desire
of every living thing. ~Saleh
(from Psalm 145)

Heavenly Father -
How majestic is your name, even the nature bows to you this morning. I pray that These morning of prayer changes spirits and minds to follow you deeper into your heart. Let us here praise you in our mornings and worship you at night. Let us seek your face, drawing closer to the flame of the Holy Spirit. Help us embrace your perfect will and let go of ours. Thank you for your Nature that it brings us back into your bigger perspective. Clear away the cob webs our lives, clean house within. Help us each moment to lean on your wisdom for the day.
Thank you Jesus for keeping our eyes on you.

Dear Lord,
I thank you for this morning. I pray that I can glorify your name throughout this day. Forgive us for our rough start this morning. May we place our trust and faith in you. Help us to find a way to replace the van motor. Though we get frustrated, we know these things are just part of this human world we live in. Give us strength today to face the challenges before us. We ask these things in your Most Holy Name.
Amen

[LINDA SLOAN]

'New every morning is the love, our waking and uprising prove'......

Thankyou Lord for these words, reminding us of fresh opportunities to prove You in our lives today.
We cry out to you Father in highest Heaven - and You minister to us, coming to us in the depths.
Depths of pain, depths of distress, depths of despair...YOU know it all Lord, YOU have been there.
And YOU are here, YOU are here in the midst of our depths.
We look to you Father for YOU alone are the lifter of our heads.
Lift our heads this morning Lord, help us to keep our eyes fixed Heavenward, fixed on YOU and not ourselves,
for YOU alone are our hope.

MONDAY July 13, 2009
Oh Lord my God! This morning I stand in awesome wonder of how GREAT you are! So aware of the slightest movements you are making around me. So aware of the celebration going in the hearts of the ones I love in spite of of the STORMS of life that rage.

How GOOD and GRACIOUS you are to us, oh GOD!

We ask in this day that we would celebrate YOUR SOVERIEGNTY! That we would have FAITH in You and what you allow in our life. That we would TRUST that You and you alone guide our lives in a way that will prove to be good and that we will worship You with every breath that we take!

For TODAY, won't you grant us the grace to live out our lives in quiet celebration of your PRESENCE in our lives and honor you by allowing the peace that passes understanding to rule our heart and soul!
