JOURNAL=2-24-15=GOD IS JUST A PRAYER AWAY




“IN PRAYING-do not babble like the pagans who think that they WILL be heard because of their many WORDS” Matthew 6:7




DO YOU PRAY without ceasing-the ONLY way we can PRAY without ceasing-IS by offering our whole life to GOD-the GOOD-the bad-and ALL in between-but what we should ALL be aspiring to IS:making our WHOLE LIFE good-NOT easy to do-JESUS is the only one who ever did it-but he was part God and part human-he turned his back on every temptation he ever encountered


GROWING UP CATHOLIC-I learned the ROSARY-and I STILL pray that prayer every day-PRAYING the ROSARY is more for our sake than for GOD'S-as OUR WHOLE LIFE should be a prayer and an offering to GOD


AND WHEN-I PRAYED the PRAYER of the sick when I was 22 and given zero per cent life to life-I PRAYED: “TO LIVE for my family-my friends-and ALL people everywhere”-AS it has turned out-that has been the way MY LIFE has gone


DEAR LORD-we PRAY that you help us/HELP ME to cultivate A TRULY PRAYERFUL SPIRIT and a PRAYERFUL LIFE


LIKE Saint Paul said: help us “TO PRAY WITHOUT CEASING” 1 Thessalonians 5:17


it is A GREAT DAY to be ALIVE in GOD'S LOVE for us and a great day to offer OUR LIFE to God in PRAYER

GOD IS JUST A PRAYER AWAY




God is just a prayer away
A prayer away
Just a little prayer away


I said a prayer
For you today
Held a thought
For you
In my heart


God and you
Are always in my heart
Just a thought
Just a thought
Just a little thought away


I define prayer
Simply as the lifting up
Of your heart, your mind, and your soul
To God


And I believe
When you pray for someone else
It is simply the lifting up
Of their heart, their soul, and their mind
To God
Praying for their intentions


God is just a prayer away
A little thought away


I said a prayer for
For you today
Held a thought for you
In my heart


ALL you really have to know about prayer
Is that Jesus did it


He prayed for himself,


“Father the time has come
Glorify your Son
That your Son might glorify you” John 17:1


“I have brought you glory
On earth
By completing the work
You gave me to do” John 17:4


I said a prayer for you today
I held you in my heart


Jesus prayed for his disciples,


“For I gave them
The words you gave me
And they accepted them


They know with certainty
That I come from you
And they believed you sent me


I pray for them
I am not praying for the world
But for those you have given me
For they are yours” 17: 8 & 9


God is just a prayer away
Just a prayer
Just a little thought away


Jesus prayed for the world,


“My prayer
Is not for them alone
I pray also for
Those who believe in me
Through their message
That all of them will be one” 17: 20 & 21


GOD IS JUSTA PRAYER AWAY
