Reflections on God's Goodness



Oh God, you are so amazing
I stand in awe of the Great I am
Whatever I need, you are

Thank you for teaching me to look to you
to provide all my needs according to your riches

Forgive me for my thoughts of looking to others
     or to other things to satisfy the
     longings in my heart

There is no other so wise
There is no other so good
There is no other like you, oh God





My soul cries out for you
More and more, I fall in love with you, oh God
Teach me how to love you more

Show me your way, Almighty God
So that I may lead others into your presence
For there is nothing like your presence

Again, oh Lord -- you are awesome
I stand in awe.

My request today is for a stirring
Lord, stir down deep within me
Bring out what needs to be brought out
Blessed redeemer and my prince of peace

Thank you for everything you provide
You alone fill the emptiness inside me and
Make everything new.  

In the beautiful name of Jesus I pray
Amen

An Empty Tomb

Oh Dear Father, the one who rose from the grave,
    The one with the ability to forgive all our sins,
We bow to you tonight and proclaim that you are
    The King of Kings!!!

On this night before we celebrate your resurrection,
We reflect on the only thing you ever borrowed,
   An empty tomb



Lord, we know that because you live,
We can live.

Words cannot express our thoughts tonight.
Only thankfulness and gratefulness for what you did and what you are doing now on Earth.

You are on our minds tonight, Sweet Jesus!
You are on our minds.

In your name we pray, Jesus...Jesus Amen

Good Friday Prayer

Oh Dear God, my heavenly Father,
Today is filled with sadness,
As I think about the price you paid,
When you sent your son, Jesus
To take our place on a cruel cross,
 At a place called Calvary.

It must have caused you an unthinkable pain,
As you watched your son,
Pay for our sins that day.




We want to tell you today that we love you,
We are so thankful for what you did just for us.
And now we can come boldly into your throneroom
And speak with you, and you can speak to us
Because you gave us the power to become your
     sons and daughters.

We are in such awe of what just one drop of blood
Is capable of doing.
That day, Jesus paid the price forever,
For all mankind.

You said, that you loved us so much, that you gave your only son,
That "whosoever" believes in him, should not perish, but have
      Everlasting life.
You also said that you came that we might have an abundant life.
We thank you with every fiber of our being, oh Heavenly Father.

This day, and always we stand in remembrance of the blood.
And even though it is a sad day, in so many senses, it's bitter/sweet
Because we know what happened on the third day.
Glory be to the Father and his son Jesus.

God - Our Provider


Oh God, our provider
We thank you today for providing us with all our
    needs,according to your riches in glory, by Christ Jesus

Lord, guide us today into all your secret places
You have designed just for us
We listen to your voice and obey
For you, oh God, are worthy of an all consuming obedience and nothing less


We reach out to you in our time of trouble
And know that you are always here
Always with us in our time of need

We are not ashamed to say that we need you
We are not ashamed to stand in the presence of
    all we know and say
The Lord is my shepherd

Teach us the limits of our aspirations
Teach us to be satisfied with every gift your provide
Our desires are more in you than anything this world can provide

We believe that you have a purpose for our lives
Teach us to live in our purpose so that all will know you
For by living in our purpose you shall receive glory
Each day is dedicated to you, Oh King of Kings

Today Nothing Matters but Your Presence

Oh Father, God of All, We come to you.
We run to you today,
As a child with outstretched arms.
We love you Almighty One,
We squeal in delight,
As you once again catch us in your
Outstretched powerful arms.

You are our heart and soul,
Our Rock, Our strong Tower,
We trust in you and forever adore you.



Blessed be the name of Jesus, Oh God.
We acknowledge him today and forever sing
New songs unto the King of Kings.
There is no other.

Our provider, our redeemer, our strong tower
Today we want nothing more than to be in your presence.
For it is in your presence that we are made whole
And knowing that with wholeness, we become part of you.

Oh Master of the seas, shout to us.
We need to hear your voice.
We listen and Wait.
Breathe oh Mighty Wind.
Breathe on us today.
Breathe on us we pray.

In Jesus name,
Amen.

Global Prayer



Oh God, the Almighty One, the Great I Am,

                                                         

We come to you in adoration and awe.
           You alone are Holy.
           You alone are Good.
         There is none like you.

       We accept your guidance
         And await patiently
          to hear your voice.


  We ask for forgiveness, as we know the Saints have stood back
     For way to long in toleration and acceptance of those things
     you label as sin in your holy scripture.
Help us to come together in one mind and one accord
    in unity to say, "No more." -- No more toleration for
    the things you say are unholy.

We know the price that Jesus paid was more than we
     could ever possibly comprehend.
We thank you for sending Jesus to pay the price of our sins.

We acknowledge those things as they are today and ask you for
    the wisdom necessary to change the things that need to be changed.
What we want in the world is to do your will on Earth as
    your will is done in Heaven.
Forgive us, Oh God, for not turning to you sooner.
We proclaim that you alone are the way, the truth and the life.
We stand together as one body to give reverence to the Almighty King.

Lord, the enemy goes about as a mighty lion, seeking whom he may devour.
But we know, as in the days of Daniel, that the Lion is a tiny creature in the
    palm of your hand and that one mighty breath can put him to an end.
We know that the victory is yours and was won that day on Calvary when
    the precious blood of Jesus was forever victorious.

Help us to not fear what has already been defeated.
Help us to accept the gift you gave of a more abundant life
Help us to remember that nothing is impossible with you.
    Oh, Lord - our strength and our redeemer.

In Jesus name we pray,
Amen.
