Sunday Morning Prayers-#68. Psalm 23. Thou Preparest A Table Before Me In The Presence of Mine Enemies; Thou Anointed My Head With Oil; My Cup Runneth Over.

Sometimes when I look up to the heavens from whence cometh my help, I feel as though my soul is dancing with the Angeles!

Dearest “Great Spirit”,

I get it!  I see it!  In times like this when we are experiencing as a humanity chaos, deceit, and corruption, you have put before us yet again, an opportunity to witness the contrast of who you do not want us to be, and what you expect us to do for each other and with each other to overshadow and refute what is not of you. 

You have anointed us with the tools of sight and discernment to be able to choose wisely.  We have the “free will and determinization” to choose to live in your “divine light” or to live and operate in the path of darkness, void of your holy light of love and protection.  In the choice of “darkness”, we find ourselves wrapped up in giving the soul essence of our being away.  We lose sight of our divine connection with each other and become “not in the world, but of the world”.  The beauty of your unconditional love is the gift of “grace”.  The power of your unconditional love is the gift of forgiveness and compassion.  In our human design that you created, you did not make us perfect because you wanted us to grow into our own perfection. “Great Spirit”, you have endowed us with so much, we just need to take the time and energy to survey who we are and who we have the potential of being.

We need to reflect on how we can be an instrument of your love and peace in the world.  We need to step out on faith that the relationship we have with you is a partnership and that if we allow you to lead us and guide us, we will never fall short of being our true “divine identity” and never miss the experience of living our “divine purpose”. 

Thank you, “Great Spirit”, for giving us the opportunity to come into the fullness of who we are, and for showing us the contrast so that we can by the way we walk and talk in this world, be a beacon light for others to live in your “Light”.

Ashé!   Ashé!!   Ashé!!!  Amen!!!!

Sunday Morning Prayers-#65. “Thou Preparest a Table Before Me in the Presence of Mine Enemies:  Thou Anointest My Head With Oil; My Cup Runneth Over! This is Why My Faith Runs My Life!

There is hope and fulfillment at the end of our rainbow!

Dear “Great Spirit”,

We can feel your presence before us when we are challenged by people and forces that mean us harm and try to separate us from our connection with thee.  We know that we must be steadfast in our faith and trust that we are within the protection of your love for us, anointed, blessed, and covered.  We know that there is no time in our life experience that we are truthfully disconnected from you, because you love us unconditionally and eternally.  We can sometimes fall between the cracks and pitfalls that are a part of life, but we have an inner confidence that you will catch us if we fall, or if there is disruption on the line that tries to muffle our connection with you, your hear us any way. 

Our life is full of the goodness and beauty that you have provided for us even when sometimes we feel things seem out of control and beyond our grasp.  You are as close as the breath we breathe, and the beat of our heart.  You see us in all aspects of our life and even when we forget to pray for help or pray for answers to our problems, you respond in our best interest, in your time, right on time, and with the best resolve for our life.  We have to run our life with and through faith, for there is no other way to realize our “divine purpose” without the hand of “Great Spirit” leading us and guiding us along the way.  This is the time to be convicted in our faith that we are being cared for with intentional love and compassion because the world is operating on a negative vibration which calls each of us to rise up in our faith in the power of “Great Spirit” and collectively raise the vibration toward the heavens.   With and through “Great Spirit” all things good are possible.

Ashé!  Ashé!!  Ashé!!!   Amen!!!!
