Thou art my refuge from the storm. I come to Thee with grief and sorrow and Thy light eases my night and brightens tomorrow. Tho my life is a hurricane, Thee art the eye, the Calm, the Light. My life will never be the same. As I walk with Thee the storm dissipates. The Sun is revealed in a red sky at night. Thy sailors delight. The seas settle the breeze whispers the stars shine. I lay down to sleep in the shadow of death and breathe easy as Thou art with me. I lay down to rest while You keep watch. Thy Grace settles over me as I sleep. I dream of Thee. I dream of green pastures and blue sky and white clouds. I hear my children laughing and know that life is good. I walk to the gates of Thy Kingdom and they are open. My father is there and my sisters too. My dogs are there and they are so happy to see me. They dance and prance and we visit and hug and smile until I must go. They walk me home. I wake to the challenges of the day knowing they are the root of all blessings. I wake next to

Dear .Heavenly Father. I am so grateful to know Pat Mentone. Please be with him tomorrow and give him strength for his heart procedure. Please be with and guide the physician caring for him.

I thank Thee for being with me. For allowing me to be all this. For this moment is truly amazing to know life can be this way. Like stepping out of a dark room and into the light of day. So bright the light it is hard to actually see the affect of Thee. But to know where I was in contrast to where I am right now is a miracle. Truly a miracle. On a Sunday night and not a doldrum in sight. Thou art truly merciful and loving.  I am grateful to Thee for this moment. I pray in the name of Thy Son Jesus Christ that Thy Spirit will always be with me. Grant me wisdom to know Thee and to see that Thee are always

I heard some great advice tonight. "Be as your father." I have always aspired to be like my dad. The good parts anyway. The less desirable parts have come to me easily. I shall not list them as You know more than I about our shared weaknesses and short comings. Be as your Father. I can't get it out of my head. Kind of raises the bar a bit. Be like Jesus. Be as the One who he aspired to. I wish to be as Thee. Destined to fail. With Thee beside me anything is possible. Please Father be with me. Do not fore sake me. In the name of the Son and my Savior Jesus Christ I pray to be free from all that keeps me from Thee. Please free me from all wants, needs and desires save Thee. Free me from hunger, thirst and lust. Clear my mind of thoughts unworthy of Thee. Free my body from its many addictions. Let fasting feed my Soul. Let purity fire up my Spirit. Lead me guide me stand beside me. Let my passion be for Thee. I will wordhip only You. I will sing Thy praises and call on Thee

Thou art my Creator and Protector. Without Thee there is no me. Thy Will is my purpose. Thy Justice my desire. Bless me with Wisdom and Knowing of Thy desire. Bless me with Strength and Courage to know Thee. Bless me with Thy presence. Let me hear Thy Voice. Grant me time to live the Life Thee fore saw for me. Let me see Thy Face. Let me hold Thy hand. Feed my Soul. Kindle my Spirit. Relieve my pain. Heal my body. Help me care for those Thy have blessed me with and entrusted to my care. Give me confidence in myself that I may know the me You see. Grant me opportunity to grow. Help me succeed in this world and the next. Help me be truly alive. Help me be present. Help me do what is right. Help me fight the good fight. Grant me Insight. Grant me love. Shower me with blessing from above. It's Thy Love I want the most. I pray to you Father, Son and Holy Gohst. In Jesus name I pray. Glory of the Father I praise. Father of Glory I worship. The One True God. The Help in this world and the

When will You let me die. Will I ever know the reason why. I am the one destined to live. How much love is there to give. I write this with gladness in my heart. I've known Thee from the very start. I write this with sadness in my mind. I've known Thee from the start of time. If I look I always find. I'm the one you left behind. To know it all but still be dumb. To feel it all but still be numb. To think of what I have become. A favored child lost in the wild. A beast made ready for the feast. One of many but not the least. A sun that sets far in the east. A word that seams to have no meaning. An awesome tower tall and leaning. Hopefully a fall will come. When a life well lived is done. Seems I bug her every morning. This will be my only warning. To write a poem I'll never send. To go to sleep that never ends. I see what comes around the bend. To all of Thee my love I send. The end. Amen.

I thank Thee for being a generous God. I thank Thee for my life. I Thank Thee for my wife. I thank Thee for my daughters. Thank You for my dogs. Thank You for my brothers, their wife's, their lives. Thank You for my parents Pat and Mary, please bless them with good health. Thank You for my friends. Thank You for new beginnings. Thank You for the ends. For Thee hath made me perfect, my gratitude I send. My design is perfect to achieve the life I have. For Thee hath made me see there is nothing wrong with me. If it's meant to be it will surely be. Thank You for the good times. Thank You for the bad. Thank You for when I'm happy. Thank You for when I am sad. Thank You for my mother. Thank You for my dad. Thank You for all the failures I have ever had. Thank You for the shame. Thank You for the blame. Thank You for the accolades. Thank You for the fame. Thee hath been so good to me. Makes it hard for me to see. What more You have in store for me. What challenges You will send.

Sunday nights are hard. Does my church attendance really matter to You? I love church, but recently, well You know. Is Thy Kingdom within me? I believe this is an apt description. I believe that wherever I go there You are. I wish to worship Thee always and am disappointed I do not think of Thee more often. I wish to praise Thee always. Praise be to Thee now and forevermore. I miss church as a time allotted for communion with Thee and will surely return, but in these conversations with Thee I have felt Thy Spirit and presence like never before in my life. Thank you for this. These conversations have changed my life and made me whole again. Not that You have come into my life, because You have always been here, but that I have become more aware of Thee. A true friend. Here. Now. Always. Please help me dream of Thee tonight. Grant me restful sleep. Heal me. Please wake me in the morning with Thee on my mind. Bless me always, bless my socks off tomorrow and everyday. Show me what I can do

Thank You for being here. Thank You for creation. Thank You for creating me. I am a simple man and wish to use plain language to be clear. Forgive me if my words sound irreverent as I love Thee and have revered Thee my whole life. I am grateful. I am happy. I stand in awe and find it hard to express my feelings. I am emotional and seem to cry and laugh a lot, sometimes at the same time. I find it hard to ask for help. I feel so blessed it's hard to ask for more. I wish to pray more for others, but do not know how to start. Please bless those people who dumped their trash out on the hill. Let them know They are loved. Guide them, protect them, help them raise their baby. Please let Suzy, Kayla, Chloe and Mary  know how much We love them. I pray in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.

Thank You for this. Not really sure what this is, but thank You. I'm ready for what's next. I pray to Thee to help me see the way. I humbly ask Thee to show me clear signs that I may know Thy Will. Please calm me down and make me still. Talk to me. Make it clear. Help me understand the voice I hear. Tell me what Thee wants of me. A friend to Thee I'll always be. I will do what I think best. Up to You I will leave the rest. I know that life is not a game. I know that life is not a test. If it is and I am wrong. I'll write and sing the saddest song. I'll play by the rules and try and win. I'll read, I'll study, I'll try I'll pass. Every day I go to class. I've studied religions. I go to church. I know the scriptures and love them all. They help me get up when I fall. I'll keep on learning, I'll always try. I'll keep the faith unitl I die. Give me something I can say. So I'll know tomorrow we talked today. Words that move, that inspi

I need Thee more than ever. I need Thee like I need my dad who has been with You on the other side for what seems a very long time. Is that what it's really like? Us here, You on the other side of the vale with all those who've died and accepted salvation. They can actually see and hear Thee and walk with Thy Son and visit with loved ones who have also passed on? Can they see us? Is it like this world, the world to come? Will I remember here when I am there or is it starting over fresh and new like when I came into this world? When Karen left here to go there so long ago I was so young. The truth was so ease to believe back then. The answers You whispered to me were so easy to hear. When Carol left here to go there not so long ago I didn't even think to ask. Of course she was there with You and them. Of course that's where she'd go. She would make it so. Is that how it will be with me? If that's what I want to see. Thee will make it be for me. Oh God, my God, so

I desire to know Thee. Can I be a friend to Thee? Seriously. Can I make Thee smile? Can we hang out for a while? We can do whatever You want n. to do. I wish to use the freedom Thee has granted me. I choose to be with Thee. I choose to love You. I choose to believe in Thee. I choose to accept what cannot be seen. I choose to hear what cannot be heard. I choose to have faith in what I cannot prove. I choose to have a conversation with Thee and do all the talking. I walk with Thee and do all the walking. I choose to listen to what You say, even tho it's so hard to hear Thy voice. I do all this, I've made my choice. Like when I used to talk with my sister and she couldn't hear so we used no voices. And I couldn't sign so we would only use our lips and faces. We could see into each other's eyes and the words were less important. We could figure it out, what we were trying to say. You and I could do it this way. If I could only see Your face, Your Eyes, Your lips what wo

Tonight is a miracle. I am grateful for the many miracles I witnessed in the last 21 hours since I wrote that first sentence before falling asleep. Tonight, like last night, is truly a miracle. I lay here reading the four words I wrote last night wondering what inspired them. You did. Thinking of You I fell deeply asleep. My only prayer being recognition of the miraculous. Tonight the same. I am in awe. I haven't the words to express what I'm feeling. Like I've stepped off the freight train of life, or the roller coaster, or out of the fast lane. I'm standing still for the first time in my life and it is good. Nothing has changed, and yet, somehow everything is completely different. My conscience is clear. Or I'm more conscious of my conscience and for the first time in my life the guilt, shame, doubt, fear, the angst is gone. The need is gone. I am content. I am at peace. I am at rest. I am that I am. I know it is Thee who has set me free. Literally. I give Thee

Thank You for this day. Thank You for the day before. Thee grant Thy love I need no more. I thank Thee for the open door. Please bless my family with Thy presence. Let us know Thy loving essence. Teach us all we need to know. Lead us where we need to go. Make it clear what is Thy Will. Through us let Thy light be still. Give us what we need to grow. Show Thy beauty. Show Thy Grace. Make this home a loving place. Grant us wisdom. Grant us faith. Bring us to Thy Holy space. Grant us courage in the dark. Let this family be the spark. Grant us skill to hit Thy mark. Help us fan the Holy Blaze. Guide us through this mortal maze. Hide Thee not Thy Holy Face. Lead us with Thy signs of Grace. I pray in the name of the Trinity, The Father, Son and Holy Ghost. To Thee I pray and love the most. In the name of Jesus Christ Emmanuel. To Thee, True God my soul I give. I pray to Thee the Why I live. Amen.

Please be with Mary Mentone tonight in the hospital. Please heal her. Please give her more white blood cells and reduce her fever. Comfort her and bless her with a restful night of sleep. Please bless Pat with strength and good health. Be with him as he cares for Mary. Give them peace. Grant them joy in this challaging time. I pray for this in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.

Thank you for this moment. Right here right now. With my daughter and wife hanging out on our bed before going to sleep. My two introverts sharing a moment. Simultaneously surfing, sharing pictures, talking about taking a tour of the Celestial Tea factory down in Boulder someday. Their steam of conscious flow of ideas of things to do and what could be and dad your so slows. Talking about foods to eat. Tea flavor galor. Coconut Zinger. Trash day tomorrow Big K! Almond Sunset, Black Cherry Berry, Sweet Coconut Chia, Fireside Vanilla Spice. Kayla dinks all the teas. Ooo Lavender Honey...the dogs surrounding us on the floor. T-bone working on the giant Christmas raw hide that resurfaced today. This is heaven on earth. Thank You. Help Chloe believe in Thee. Help her find her passion. Help her say yes. Please bless us with restful sleep. Please be with us like this always. Thank you for the love. In Jesus' name. Amen.

Thank You for bringing me home safely. And for the beautiful sunset and all the wildlife on my drive today!  Please grant me another great night of sleep and help me see beauty in tomorrow like today. Help me be there for my friends at work. Help me be supportive of my wife and kids in the morning and when we get home. I pray in the name of Jesus. Amen.

Thank you from my heart and soul for this. Thank you for this touch of bliss. This morning seems to be a sign. That truly you are a friend of mine. I know this day has just begun. I'm grateful for a little fun. What  can I do for Thee. It's hard to think of what to say when you are so close to me. Hard to know what to do when serendipity comes true. It's like a dream but I'm awake. To be alive to want to make a difference to truly give instead of take. Thank you for this open door. To build a life that I adore. To be the man I want to be. To see the life you've planned for me. I love Thee. Amen.

Thank you for everything. Seriously. I'm grateful for all of it. Please bless my girls tomorrow with confidence, energy and a good attitude as they return to school. Please be with them, protect them and bring them home safe. Please listen to Mary. Soften Chloe's heart. And show Kayla how much she is loved. Please help Suzy worry less. Bless her socks off please. Please be with me, bring me home safe, and help me know Thy Will. I pray for this in Jesus' name. Amen.

If this is not a promting I know not what one is. Facing you is facing the truth. There is no where to hide. I let You in completely, not sure then what that meant. I see now that I'm broken not just bent. It was hard for me to see. I was supposed to be so strong. I've thought this for so long. Now all I see is weakness. Now I feel so much pain. Emotional and physical they're with me night and day. I'm not one to complain, but this I have to say. Coping brought addiction, bad habits and shame. This has come between us. I know that I've been lame. I chose not to believe, that with you things are better. That my broken could be fixed. I know that Thee has forgiven me. I know it's not a trick. Now that I am ready I see I'm really sick. I forgive myself, but fear it's far too late. Afraid I have already sealed my fate.  Now that I am with you I can see. Who I truly want to be. What I think and how I feel are of little consequence. It's what I do that mat

Now I lay me down to sleep. I pray to Thee my soul to keep. If this was the last day of my life. Care for my kids, my dogs, my wife. Bless them dear God I know You can.  Die I will a happy man. Wake me in the morning gloom. Help me make my flower bloom. If the snow has fallen deep. Wake me early.  from my sleep. Give me energy to play. Give me words that I may say. Come with me today to play. Let's sled the hill with the dogs today. A little late for Christmas Eve sledding. Better late than never wedding. If my wife and daughter drive. Ride with them and keep alive. Bring them home safe and sound. Freely pass the love around. Words are coming slow tonight. Maybe in the morning light. My thought will flow with greater ease. I'll pray to Thee on my knees. Fill my life with peace and bliss. Let me give my wife a kiss. Let me hug my children and let them know. That I will never let them go. Even when they're gown and gone. They will be my favorite song. Forgive me Lord for all

Thank you for helping me feel joy and more mindful. I am starting to follow my heart a little more readily and I think it has a lot to do with these conversations with You. Funny how Im even thinking in ryhme all the time. Thinking a lot about You is new for me to do. Thank You for Thy prompting. It's a funny thing to be inspired to sing after being quiet for so long. It's funny to bring it. A new melody is here now to find the words to sing it. This morning is cold and grey, and beautiful I must say. Chores don't seem so bad in fact they make me glad. To do for them the little things that used to make me mad. I think I'll let them be. All the things that seem to need me. I still have so much life to live. So many cool gifts to give. Not much more I have to say. Keep me grateful all this day. This simple thing I pray on this wonderful Saturday. In the name of the Trinity please Lord let it be. Amen.

Words fail me. How can words be sufficient to praise Thee? I worship Thee with my emotion. I call to Thee with all my heart. Each beat a testimony of Thy greatness. I think of Thee often. I pray to Thee each day and night. I visit Thee with this prayer blog. Each night I say goodnight. My faith in Thee is certain. My commitment to Thee steadfast. My time alone so futile. My time with Thee the cure. I bare witness Thou hast created me. And now I finally see. That Thee truly loves me. How good this life can be. I ask Thee for Thy blessing. I ask for them tonight. Help me in the good fight. Help me choose the right. Before my eyes close completely I wish to say goodnight! I love Thee my friend. I love Thee to the end. All my love I send. Amen.  Help me sleep and wake up rested. Tomorrow I will be surely tested. Be with me You know what's best. I'll be with You to take the test. 🙏 

I see now that Thee is here with me and the problem is more about me being with Thee. I am Barbara s  freed. Off the hook without even a second look. Sinner made winner. Punishment I feel I need, but You took that punishment for me. What am I to do. Condem myself. Forgive myself. Believe a lie that isn't true. What is it you ask of me. To show my love for Thee. To live and love and be free. I deserve to be like Thee. Truly free to love and desire. To take aim even higher. Free to be who I can be. To forgive. Free to live. Wonder what I have to give. Is that enough. To live my life. To be there for my kids and wife. To be a better man I dare. To take the love You've given me. To have the faith to share. To live the life you see for me. To be fearless to Thy dare. To be thankful and aware. Thank you for this freedom. Thank you for Thy Kingdom. Grant me what I need. Grant me faith and wisdom. I pray for this and more. Please open up the door. In the name of Jesus Christ, the Glory

I fail Thee my maker. I fail Thee every day. I pray to say I'm sorry Lord. To help me find my way. I wish to hear Thee, but fail to listen. I wish to Glorify Thee, yet forget to acknowledge Thy presence. I wish to see Thee, yet fail to look. I wish to fly, yet stumble through the day. I pray to Thee for greatness. I pray to Thee for love. I pray to Thee for Wisdom, but know not what that is. I pray to Thee for courage. I pray to Thee for hope. Faith guides my words of prayer to Thee. This prayer is how I cope. With all my insecurities, my weakness and inadequacies, my pride and inefficiency and all the pointless fantasies. Please grant me focus and ability. Help me grow past my lack of faith. Please grant me sweet serenity and put me in my place. Please quiet my mind and sooth my soul. Please bless my work, please bless my mind, please bless my family and help me find, a way to make You smile. please walk with me all day tomorrow. Expel my grief. Expel my sorrow. I pray to Thee in

Thank You for the miracle that is my life. The miracle of my children and my wife. The rising sun and shining stars, the clouds in the sky and the birds that fly, that we live and that we die, those who love and those who try, and answering the question why.  Please make a miracle of me. Please make me more than I can see. Take my meager gifts and make them something great. Please let me not arrive too late to worship Thee with love I praise. Please make use of all my days. Please help me find ways to say I love Thee. Show me all the ways I can be, of use to Thee I want to be. Please my God make a miracle of me. In the Glory of God and the Holy Spirit, in the name Emmanuel I pray Thee hear it. Amen.

Father of glory, friend in the dark. Healer and redeemer, hope and light, power and might, guide me through the night. Fill my dreams with what I need. In my heart please plant the seed. Grant me wisdom, faith and courage to always see. Through my darkest hours, my friend indeed is Thee. Humbly I ask, tomorrow come with me. At work I need Thy help. I really need to be a better me. Grant me there the opportunity. Help me make a real difference. I want to be myself, but better somehow. Confident. Intelegent. Common sense and eloquent, in word and thoughts and deeds. With You with me, all this I'll surely be. Help me lift up all those around me. Help me make them all they can be. While I'm there please keep my daughters safe. Please impower my wife at her workplace. Comfort her and grant her space. Bring us safely home to our family. Please bless us with serenity. Please send Thy serendipity. I pray in the name of Jesus Christ, the Glory of God, and the Holy Spirit. To Thee my lov
