Father, I pray to know truth. I pray to know what You have brought into my life, and for what purpose. I pray to know the difference in what my choices have declared, and what Your divine arm has orchestrated. I pray for Your light on my pathway, that I may neither stumble nor fall. I pray for the quieting of human response, and the loudness of Godly wisdom, for the silencing of fear and doubt, and the boldness of faith and trust. I pray to walk toward You and with You – not away from, or around You. I pray, Father, for discernment, that you may be revealed in my life.
Pride and haste belong to man; humility and rest are of the Lord. Sporadic sparks of pleasure is the best man can do, but in God burns the steady fire of fulfillment. I will wait on the Lord and in sweet repose, give thanks. I will look with faith to my Father who gives of His best to those who wait on Him. He delights in cherishing His children, and giving of His abundance. His gifts will come on heavenly wing. He will spread bounty before those who remain confident in Him. I will trust in God and Him alone, for the finest reward, for the most excellent of blessings. And I will give Him all glory and praise, now and forevermore!
Prayerful Pondering 
Your prayers are beautiful, Pat, poetic, sweet, and deep, they speak to my heart.
Thank you, Sally. This one was so clearly spoken by the Lord as to what I was to write.
Beautifully put, Pat. All that still needs to be said, is “Amen!” :o)
Thanks, Beth.
Pat, thank you for sharing your deepest heart with the world. Keep on doing so and you will find more strength. This is your gift.
In Christian love, Jean Ann
Thank you for being my encourager, Jean. I can really use it right now.
Pat, your prayer is so tender, sweet and heart moving. Thank you for the post.
Thanks, Sue. I was reading scripture and words began to form in my mind and I had to move to the computer and begin putting down what I was hearing from the Holy Spirit. God is so good.
Thank you for listening to the Voice of the Spirit and writing what you hear in your heart. I needed this word today…and everyday. I seek Him and Him alone, yet the nagging voice within keeps asking what it is that keeps me from “wings as eagles”. I continue to pray for His discernment as I go forward, listening for His still small voice saying, “this is the way, walk in it”.
You are always in my prayers,
Jeanne
Thank you, dear Jeanne. I, too, am on a constant search for the “road marked right” and I suppose it will always be so as long as we are earthbound. What a privilege to be in your prayers. I am certain without the prayers of friends and family, I could not manage life as it is right now.
