Set me as a seal upon Thy heart

To love is to suffer Your love is a tidal wave

[mystic-evangeline]

Dear God, Please help me to be less nervous and to be more confident in who You made me to be. Help me to understand why You do certain things and to be more assured of my worth and hope, which can be found in You. +

And God said "love your enemy" and I obeyed him and loved myself.

From disbelief in Your love and presence…

Deliver me, Jesus.

[mystic-evangeline]

Dear God, Please help me to release and set free the things that are bothering me. I want to forgive and forget and move forward with my life. I'm not sure why I'm still so stuck on people who have hurt me but I need You to help me move forward with my life. Help me to understand the true nature and true dimensions of love. Please bless Danielle and help her to see how loved she truly is. Also help Iulia with understanding the true nature of Your grace, forgiveness, and lovingkindness. + I want to know You more, to comprehend the depth of Your nature, in whatever capacity that may be.

I love You

But I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh.

Galatians 5:16

[mystic-evangeline]

Dear God~ Please let Danielle have rest and peace in her heart tonight. Allow her to see her eternal value and worth, that it comes from You, and her identity in You, rather than anything temporary, or how people treat her, who are sinful and evil by nature. Help her to discern the difference between good and evil, to enable her to see the true beauty of who she is inside and out, the fact that she is fearfully and wonderfully made, simply because she is Yours, and handcrafted by You. Fill her mind with peace, grace, freedom from anxiety, freedom from doubt, and Your perfect love which drives out fear. Amen.

Dear God, Please help me to push through these hard moments. I feel like no one cares about me sometimes even when I know that I have a support team fully on my side. I know it's just the voice of the enemy trying to belittle me and bring me down. How do I move past this difficult season, Lord? How do I find peace in the midst of struggle, when Your people don't even feel safe for me? Why are You content with allowing me to suffer and not having anyone step in to care for my spiritual health? Or even my social health? I just am worried and afraid that I'm going to live my entire life and I'll look back on it with nothing but regret and pain. I know that I have found fulfillment in some ways and that Your Kingdom come, Your will be done. But I feel like I am lacking in so many ways and like You do little to step in for Your people or for those who truly do want to draw near to You. I know that You are the One in ultimate control. But I feel very unloved and very betrayed, still, and I want to be able to move past this hurdle with peace and sanctity in my spirit.

[mystic-evangeline]

Dear God, Please help me to feel more at home and at peace with the world around me. Help me to discern which opportunities are for me and which are not for me. Allow me to sit in Your stillness, in Your presence, in the light of Your love, to enjoy all that You are and all that You are meant to be. I know that I wasn't crafted for myself. I know where I've gone wrong and how I've been bitter, hardhearted, and unforgiving toward my enemies. I want to be more pure, holy, and loving in ways that You are calling me toward. I want to come to the water, to have my heart rest in peace, to understand that Your ways are higher than my ways. I pray for my friend Danielle right now that she might find a sense of peace. And that she might feel Your love even when she doesn't think it's there. It's always going to be there, regardless of whether we feel it or not, and we are never truly alone in this world, on this life, or on this earth. In Your name we pray, Amen

[mystic-evangeline]

Dear God, Protect me from the enemy's lies. Help me to see the deceit of his ways. Protect me with Your shield and lovingkindness. Spare me from those who may hurl insults or mockery my way, whether spiritual or emotional. Allow me to have a humble heart. Anoint me with Your everlasting love. Build something that eternally lasts in my soul. Give me a spirit of confidence and kindness. Heal the broken parts of me that I have not even become acquainted with yet.

Amen

Dear Lord, Please take away my anxiety, fear, and paranoia. Help me to become the language of light and love and grace. Give rest to my soul and help me to be the best possible version of who I am.

We pray in the Spirit of love, knowing that no one will be saved otherwise than by the prayer of all the Church, in which Christ lives, knowing and trusting that so long as the end of time has not come, all the members of the Church, both living and departed, are being perfected incessantly by mutual prayer.

When your aesthetic becomes a spiritual language

[fear-not-beloved]

Contemplative prayer deepens the process of listening, and it does so by two experiences. One is the affirmation of our being at the deepest level, which comes through peace and spiritual consolation and enables us to entrust to God our whole story. Not that God doesn't know it already; he is just letting us in on the secret. Without trust in God, we cannot acknowledge the dark side of our personality, our mixed motivation, and our selfishness in its raw misery.

Deep prayer increases our trust in God so that we can acknowledge anything and are not blown away by it. Without that trust, we maintain our defense mechanisms. We try to hide from the full light of that realization. Like Adam and Eve, we hide in the woods. On the other hand, as our dark side is confronted, it is removed. By our acknowledging it, God takes it away. The process of contemplative prayer is a way of releasing what is in the unconscious. The psyche has a need for evacuation the same as the body, and it does this as a result of the deep rest of contemplative prayer.

Fr. Thomas Keating, Intimacy with God

Let's take our example on Jesus and always end up our prayers with "but let Your will be done"
