Prayer from the Heart

I said a prayer straight from the heart
God knew I was sincere...
As I pray for you today
The angel gathered near.


I asked God to give you strength
To face life's tide...
I told him that an
Angel was needed by your side.


I asked Him to toss your hurt
into the deep blue sea,
and let its healing water
remove the memory.


Tears are heavenly raindrops
God must send to cleanse the soul.
The storm will quickly be replaced
With the beauty of His rainbow.

The Power of Prayer

No matter how softly you whisper a prayer
Someone must surely be listening there
Who understands well...
and knows from the start...
The hope and fears you keep in your heart...


For whenever you turn to
that Friend up above
And ask for His guidance
and trust in His love
What wonders may be no one can say...
Miracles happen sometimes when you pray...


Nobody knows the power of prayer
To turn the clouds back
and make the day fair...
But troubles are lightened and faith is restored
When in quiet moments you pray to the Lord.

Three O'Clock Prayer

Calling all prayer warriors!

"For where two or three come together in my name, there am I with them."

Matthew 18:20

You expired, O Jesus,
but the source of life gushed forth for souls
and an ocean of mercy opened up for the whole world.
O Fount of Life,
unfathomable Divine Mercy,
envelop the whole world
and empty Yourself out upon us.
O Blood and Water,
which gushed forth from the Heart of Jesus
as a fount of mercy for us,
I trust in You.


Amen.

A Prayer of Confession

Oh, my Sovereign God, please hear my prayers.
My heart cries with pain and anguish
Tears are flowing from my soul
I have sinned against you, and turned m ways in the wickedness.
The evil overpowers me.
It made me become hardhearted
Pride overthrows my love for you
Evil laughs both to me and you.

My loving Almighty God,
Please lend me your ears
Have mercy and forgive my sins
My transgressions put you ob public disgrace
Let the accuser be condemned by Your powerful name
Make the enemy feel the wrath of my Lord
Gnash their teeth in fear because of your anger
Let your fairness and justice evident to all
So that they may know that you are the judge and savior.
Let their evil ways and doings cloaked them with shame and self-pity
For them to realize that your power is unfathomable.

Glory be to God for He forgave my sins
His amazing grace saved a wretch like me, and from the enemy.
His hand is always there to reach out for me.
That’s why all obey Him
Because of His unconditional love and mercy.

Oh, Sovereign God
You are worthy to be praised
You deserve all kind of of honor
Your name is mighty as a sword
Your greatness lats for a lifetime.
You ate the Lord of the lords and King of the kings.

Praise to the Lord
For He is loving and compassionate.
His forgiving manner is known by all
To Him, people alaway pray and ready to call.
I will sing praises to you, ny belovd God,
I will exalt your name far from above.

Praise the Lord!

Praise the Lord for His unfailing love
By His grace and compassion.

Praise the Lord for great things He has done;
The wonderful creations –
Vast skies and seas
Tall mountains and trees
Smiling sun that greets the day
Gives us hope and keep us astray
Silvery moon and stars that shines
Guides us all during the nights
Birds that are singing
Plants and animals are rejoicing.

Especially the man on His image
Who always gives glory to Him.

Praise the Lord, for He is fair and holy.
