Often I gaze
In shadows I sought refuge
Healing waters from the valley of visions
Measured my portion
In weaves I sowed my seed
Through many days of distortion
We Tilled the sky
It bore us life
In his ways I hope to walk
The King of Kings is Yeshua
He rose again from the grave
Often I gaze
In gardens of plenty
Toward the east
Toward the Valley of Visions
I set my heart
On the mount of olives
Where he will come again to this world

Morning breaks in upon my bed
welcome thoughts stir this sleepy head
banishing fear, dismissing dread.
Summoning sparkles in my eyes,
on waking up, daybreak supplies
hope-filled words, "Look to the skies!"
And I thank Jesus as I rise.
He hears the prayers I pray each night.
My Savior dawns with strength and light.
I love you Lord with all my might;
I trust you, God and your insight.

Morning Prayer
Miracle Man
9/6/2024
Lord,
Bless my thoughts and words this day,
supply the words that you’d have me say.
That I might witness to others about you,
from early morn until my day’s through.
For “the fields are white and laborers few,”
Guide me LORD in all you’d have me do.
Then when at last the evening sun has set,
make this day one that others won’t forget.
AMEN

My God,
I thank you for your light
to shine upon my path this day.
May I see all whom I meet
with your eyes,
with your compassion,
with your empathy.
May I hear as you hear,
act as you would act,
speak as you would speak,
With all whom I meet this day.
May I get out of the way
so you can walk through me
to do your will.
I give back to you
your gift of this day.
May I live these gifted hours
as would you
Until sunset returns
another end of day.
My God
I thank you for your light
To shine upon my path.

The sonship speaks
to ears where you listen
For
I Am
That Which Is
YOU
Soon the picture-show
the rodeo
will turn faster and faster
keep me as still as a painted sky
as a stillness between heartbeats
within the within
I take upon me
the Now.
My Door is open.
The new dawn awaits
Your footsteps
and my shoes
Let us begin
let this world
know
there is no beginning
for the ones that know
no ending

I am your enthusiasm
That helps you learn a new thing.
I am your hand mirror
Beholding you on a bright morning.
I am your sandals
That caress your soft soles.
I am a whispered prayer
Hanging while you doze.
I am your blanket
Keeping you warm at night.
I am your luck that flies by day
To make things go right.
I am the one in your life
Who stays near and keeps you -
If only you knew.

This written verse on page I start anew.
An agony of pain will not abate.
I will not throw myself from yonder porch,
obedience to God, accepting fate.
How can tomorrow vary from the rest?
Another day to hope for all the best?
Oh, Father many years your silence known,
with not an answered prayer or favor shown.
The very sun that shines, a daily curse
upon denial, love a wish, put first.
If living steps are ordered by your Word,
release me from this loveless life absurd,
and all my efforts to achieve the dream.
Or grant desire by your great grace supreme.

Oh Lord our God Almighty,
Immeasurable God,
Thank you for allowing us to breathe fresh air,
To see a glimpse of your loving-kindness,
Help us to acknowledge your power this morning,
To trust you beyond our imaginations throughout this day,
Grant us our heart desires according to your will,
Amen

When I’ve a bit of attitude,
my Missy teaches gratitude.
At every meal, she salivates;
wagging her tail, she cleans her plate.
Do I pant such for thee, O Lord?
Or only when I can afford
some spare coin on a Sunday morn,
forgetting the high cost you’ve born.
Be gentle, Lord, and by your grace,
remind me that you’ve set a place
A banquet, no mere kibble there:
Forgive and draw me near, my prayer.

What brings the sun? Lord, You alone do know.
I hold the day but loosely in my hand.
Indeed, I have my plan, my outline for
the day, but want am I to gain control
Of all the heavy tidings of this world.
So I will make no oath and humbly ask
that all my yesses simply be in you.
If I must die that Christ might in me live,
Then I shall not object to waning self -
Instead affirming who it is that I,
Already and not yet, am in Your eye
And by Your blood transforming and transformed.
Therefore, dear sun, shine bright upon my face,
Let me not utter a complaint at hands
That go astray, at vines that catch the feet,
At all the little signs that should remind
Me of my place in this, Your wondrous world.

If you woke up today, thank God and Pray!
A day to live, love and do your best,
Till His sun, sets, beautifully in the West.
Be kind, be loving and be true.
After all, remember the Master, who created you!

Thank you God for waking me up this morning
And starting me on my way.
Even though I don’t deserve it,
You blessed me one more day.
Thank you for blessing my family and my friends.
No one called me with bad news.
You’re awesome Lord! I love you.
Your will is mine to choose.
I choose Your will not mine Lord.
I want to walk with You.
I want to stop wearing a mask to church
And do what You told me to.
I want to pay my tithes and offerings
But the bills keep growing and growing.
I need to trust You Lord and understand
That I’m reaping what I’ve been sowing.
Thank You Lord for all You do
Help me to be obedient.
In you is everything I need
Your love is the main ingredient.
Thank You Lord for this moment.
I want to do your will while I can.
Thank you for your grace and mercy
In Jesus’ name
Amen

It is a Blessing to be here
I thank you Jesus for your mercy, kindness
I thank you Jesus for keeping me
Through your grace and mercy stored upon me
I will Praise you, Jesus, with my whole heart
My soul is in your hand
I stand with faith and love for you
In all the things that I definitely do
Enduring the tough times and the great times
As my day unwinds
My trust, my prayers, with uplifted hands
Prayers for the family, and all that surrounds
I am so glad the JESUS is around
Amen and Amen
In JESUS'S mighty name.
For I am not a shame to Praise you
Songs of rejoicing, I thank you for all
That you do.
