A Son’s Prayer
July 13, 2007 by blogs-from-jupiter
Dear Jesus, Our Lord and Savior,
A lot of things have been happening lately. And, admittedly, I am overwhelmed by the problems left and right. But I thank you Dear Lord for You have given me strength and the heart to deal with these problems. Jesus, I know that God challenges us to become better persons, to become His good children. But we are but human. Dad used to say that such paradigm is what pulls us, the human race, down. We shouldn’t be thinking of ourselves as mere humans but You’re CHILDREN, God’s children of a Godly race.
Teach us Dear Lord to think and feel beyond human. Because it is true that all that we think that exist is not true. The flesh is not true. What we hear, see, taste, smell, touch, think and feel are not true. Because there is only one TRUTH, the truth that is GOD. I cannot fathom You God the Father. The human mind cannot comprehend and measure the vastness that is God. But I know You exist because Your Presence is in the air I breathe, in the stillness of the night, and even in between the space of my fingers, and in the silence of the dead. I exist because You exist.
Teach us Dear Lord to be still. For You alone knows the beauty and grace of just listening in silence; listening to no words but just the presence of the what is good, and what is God. You, Dear Lord, know what is good for us; command us "be still!"
I apologize Dear Lord as I am but human, sinful; a flesh so weak. I pray for my brothers and sisters, my parents and elders especially those who already left this earthly life, my loved ones, and to everyone I care for that they may free themselves from the bondage of sin, disease and death.
You are the Truth, Dear Father, Dear Lord, as the Son and the Father are One. The Truth that You are, as You promised in the scriptures, shall set us free.
Amen.
Your prodigal son,
Jupiter
