Child Of God
As I spread my spirit wings,
I rise up above material concerns
Into the sweet consciousness of
Divine communion and pure love.
Then the radiant beauty of
This world is revealed and
I hear the inner melodies of
My own heat singing to the Lord.
Then I see that learning to love
Is the true purpose of every life
And that the Divine is gently leading
Us all along the path to awakening.
In spite of all my mistakes,
Faults, failings and transgressions,
I am and ever will be a child of
God finding my way home again.

Throne of Grace
Prayer is our greatest privilege
And right granted to all of us—
For through prayer, we develop our
Relationship with our own
Indwelling Beloved Lord.
Through prayer, we learn how to
Communicate within with the Divine,
In a flow of connection through
Which we can boldly approach
The throne of grace, knowing
Full well, in the certainty of our faith,
That the One who sent us here,
Who is lovingly caring, leading
And guiding us on this journey of
Lifetimes, hears and knows everything
Our hearts and souls long to say—
Standing with us eternally
In fulfilling our every need,
Lifting us up when we fall,
Being here for us when everyone
Else abandons and turns against us,
Who loves us purely and unconditionally…
Prayer is our greatest privilege
And right given to everyone of us
To communicate within with the Divine
And boldly approach the
Throne of grace in sweet communion
With the One who sent us here
And who is ever calling us to
Love, serve, awaken and be free.

A Man of Faith and Courage
Thank you, Lord,
For the gift and privilege
And power of prayer.
Please help me to now
Fully connect with the stream of
My ancestors who were
Powerful prayer warriors,
To fully enter into
Taking up the mantle of
All those in my spiritual family
Who have relied upon You,
Called upon You and
Prayed through to You
For their every need.
Let me now inherit
And fully take up the shield
Of their faith in You
And Your grace.
Please melt away all my
Negative beliefs or resistance
I may still harbor in my heart
To being a man of faith and courage,
As a prayer warrior
Dedicated to becoming
A pure and perfect vessel of
Your sweet light and love,
Following in the footsteps of
All those great ones who
Have traveled this path of
Seeking and serving You
For generations before me.
