~ Prayer Portal  ~

a template for entering prayer with praise

Spirit of Godde, Christ present in my soul

your love, omnipotent - greatly to be praised

your ways are mystery, beyond all understanding

your name, above all names, creator, parent of us all

in you Beloved One, we place our trust, our only hope

for we are your beloved children breathed into being by

your own breath of life, born to serve, to honor, to obey

born blessed to bless our neighbors far away and near

In your sovereign name we come dear Jesus with

hearts bent low, aware of sins and shortcomings

seeking to be led home into the arms of Godde

please hear our prayers of thanks and praise

laments and joys; sorrows and confessions

for we often stray too far from you instead 

of staying near to hear your dear voice

see your light and wisdom, and be

guided by your teaching and 

example of loving mercy 

and perfect justice

* * * * * * * * *

to be followed by:

A time for praise and thanksgiving….

A time for lament and confession…

A time for petitions, for please....

A time for simply listening...

to Godde enthroned above the skies
