Sistah

A prayer for my sister, whom I've never met. I don't know you, but I pray that your life is blessed. Amen.

"All I really want is to be at peace, find a love that's mine, it would be so sweet ... said I wanna be happy, wanna be happy, yea yea yea yeeeeah yea. Live is too short to ..." Mary J. Blige

Dear Lord, This is my prayer for marriage. Prayer for a soul mate. Prayer for a husband. Prayer for my equal that I can share my life with, grow old with, have kids with, end my lonliness with. Send him to me, my Lord. Let our souls meet, my Lord. We must be together, My Lord. Lead him to me, and I to him. Help us find our way to each other, my Lord. I've waited forever, please end my wait. Amen.

I've been alone my ENTIRE life. No one truly knows the depth of my lonliness. I just want to share my life with someone ... the RIGHT person ... for me. Please send him my way, Dear Lord. Amen.

PEACE

I PRAY FOR WORLD PEACE!!! PEACE EVERYWHERE!!!! NO WARS!!! NO HATING!!!! NO FIGHTING!!!! LET'S COME TOGETHER IN UNITY!!! I BELIEVE IN PEACE. AMEN.

Portal to Heaven

"Portal" is not a word I use often. But I know what it means ... I think ... just to be sure, I looked it up:

a door, gate, or entrance, esp. one of imposing appearance, as to a palace. (dictionary.com) ... yes, that fits perfectly

I pray that becoming more prayerful will open me up to greater blessings in my life ... like a portal to Heaven. As an added bonus, I hope that I can be a blessing to others who may read this blog. I predict that (in time) I'll get sooooo many positive uplifting comments that others will be a blessing to me. A recipricol relationship between me and the world. I get blessed, I'm open to new blessings, and I send blessings out into the world ... like good karma. A karmatic cycle of good.

Luke 11:9:
And I say unto you, Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you. (www.bible.com ... to search for specific passages)

For a Friend

UPDATE: THIS "FRIEND" IS NO LONGER A FRIEND. I GUESS I COULD ERASE THIS POST, INSTEAD I SHALL QUOTE ALICIA KEYS:
Yes I was burned but
I called it a lesson learned
Mistake overturned
So I call it a lesson learned
My soul has returned
So I call it a lesson learned
Another lesson learned

Ok, here's the first one. This prayer is dedicated to a Friend. This morning I got an email from the Friend saying that there's an emergency in the family and the Friend needed to travel back home. I replied back, offering my ear & shoulder if The Friend needed to talk about anything. I also said that I would say a prayer. Say a prayer ... say a prayer ... how do I say a prayer? What do I say?

Dear God Elohim, I pray for this Friend and this Friend's family. I pray that you will bless and protect them during this difficult time. Whatever they may be going through I pray that you will provide them the strength to endure. Amen.

I always feel like my prayer words are never eloquent, powerful, or poetic enough. I guess that's why I like to quote others ...

I appreciate the words of Marianne Williamson, from Illuminated Prayers:

Let miracles replace the pain in all of us.

Lay Your hands on all our eyes, that we might see at last. Amen.

Healthy Habit

I already have other blogs I've started. I've been thinking of starting a blog dedicated to prayers. Why? I don't think I pray enough. It doesn't always come naturally to me. I'm embarrassed to say that sometimes it's a struggle. A struggle to find the right words. A struggle to truly feel a deep spiritual connection .... fully ... completely. Sometimes life is just so frustrating that you honestly feel ... "what good will it do" or "nothing ever changes." I'm not proud of these feelings, in fact, I'm embarrassed. But I know I'm not alone in how I feel. I know that I'm trying ... to develop a stronger connection with God. And here is just another try.

Why a blog? Why not.

Maybe you'll pray with me ....... I hope so. Feel free to leave comments, I could use the support and encouragement. Keep in mind that any atheist/infidel-type comments will probably be deleted.
