KEEPING THE FAITH: RANDOM PRAYERS "ON THE DOWNLOAD"
DEAR GOD: My heart is heavy with my own failures. I try to excuse them and explain to myself why they occurred, because I want to be free from the feeling that I am unworthy and incapable of being all that I can be. But I find it easier to accept your forgiveness than to forgive myself. When I try to forgive myself, it seems I only remember and re-play my failures in my mind, and a sense of hopelessness floods over me. Help me to know that my past actions are a part of my growing humanity and that even when I fail to live up to what is your will for me, every single moment can be lived anew. Remind me that refusing to forgive myself only keeps me from experiencing that newness. Assure me of the truth that by casting “my sins into the depth of the sea”, you have freed me to discard them myself and live the next moment as if it were my first, for indeed it is. I ask this for the sake of your love. Amen.

O Thou in Whose Presence
O Thou in Whose presence my soul takes delight, On whom in afflication I call. My comfort by day and my song in the night, My hope, my salvation, my all.
Restore, my dear Savior, the light of Thy face, Thy soul cheering comfort impart; And let the sweet tokens of pardoning grace bring joy to my desolate heart.
Cousin, these are verses of one of my favorite hymns. The Lord's peace and comfort passes our human understanding. After my surgery I sang this anytime I felt uncomfortable and The Lord sent me His peace.
O why should I wander, an alien from Thee, Or cry in the desert for bread? Thy foes will rejoice when my sorrows they see, And smile at the tears I have shed.
But here's the best part:
He looks! and ten thousands of angels rejoice, And myriads wait for His word. He speaks! and eternity, filled with His voice, Reechoes the praise of the Lord.
I'm shouting...and the Lord's healing. Amen and Hallelujah!!
