Pray without Ceasing ~ Father

 

Make my life a prayer, of sweet utterances to You,

Keep my heart in communion, all the day through.

To pray without ceasing, is not so very hard to do.

Committing every thought, and each moment to You.

The morning, is a special time to seek Your face afresh.

In deep and reverent awe, and sometimes in distress.

I open up my heart to You, and let Your love shine in,

Without Your loving kindness, the day cannot begin.

For each person that I meet, I can lift a silent prayer,

For those, who sit beside me, as I travel here and there.

For those lost in sadness, I pray Fathers' healing balm.

That He, may go with them, and keep them from harm.

As I bless those who have hurt me, and who cause me pain,

Speed to me Your healing, and cleanse my heart again.

Spread healing wings of comfort, around my darkest hour;

Renewing my mind, so that my thoughts do not turn sour.

Make my life a prayer, to each moment bless your name,

Giving thanks that I woke and that You restored my soul again.

Praise to Your name, the Lord our God is one,

Let my worship begin with the rising of the sun.

Bless Him, for each wonderful blessing from above,

Giving thanks for each person, He has given me to love!

Reciting the Psalms, as I walk along the way,

The Holy Spirit guides me, in so many ways to pray.
