The Heart to Heart

I have to pray!

I need to talk to my Jesus!

Prayer is the highway, it’s the airway, that takes us into the place where He, lives…

My friend, Holy Spirit is saying,

Come on, let’s go to the house!

Let’s sit down at the table and have a cool refreshing drink of water with the Living Water…

You can be yourself, take your shoes off, let down your guard and just be real…

A face-to-face talk with your brother, Jesus and your Papa God…

Open up and have a heart-to-heart conversation with Them!

I’m here to help you. What’s on your mind?

Well, I don’t really know where to start.

Can I just pray in my prayer language first?

Of course, you can. I’ll help!

… ….. ….. …. ….. ….. … .. . . . . . . . . ……… .. ……. . …. .. . …!!!!!!!!!!!!!

From your lips to my lips, Oh God.

From your heart to my heart precious Holy King.

From your ear to my ears let me hear, what the Spirit is saying~

From your life to my life let me walk.

From your house to my house Papa God.

Let me live and share your salvation to all those souls that are lost…

Let not one be lost,

All those you have entrusted to my care, bring them to the cross.

Let your light, shine upon my life, to give sight to those in darkness…

May the time you’ve given me, be spent continuously abiding in you

and praying that all will be fulfilled and that nothing will be wasted.

Right now, is all I have, let me bring you my highest praise,

to give you glory and honor, Oh God!

Forgiving and believing that nothing is impossible with you!

Pouring grace into the wounded!

Giving hope to the hopeless!

Extending mercy and peace to the hurting!

Showing who you, are, by the way I live!

That your truth is the only way to live life!

I give freely to you, all that I am and all that I will ever be!

You are my best friend, my savior, my life-guard,

my perfect peace, my strength, my joy, my reason to live…

Obedience is better than sacrifice…

May I never bring you shame…

To live is Christ Jesus and to die is gain!

So, while I’m still breathing, in the here and now,

let my life be known as one who walks with Jesus, friends always!

Amen!!

“I’ve told you these things for a purpose: that my joy might be your joy, and your joy wholly mature. This is my command: Love one another the way I loved you. This is the very best way to love. Put your life on the line for your friends. You are my friends when you do the things, I command you. I’m no longer calling you servants because servants don’t understand what their master is thinking and planning. No, I’ve named you friends because I’ve let you in on everything I’ve heard from the Father. John 15:15 The Message
