small words that came straight from my heart during silent contemplation

Love

Love 
I pray for love
While I pray, 
I think of love

I pray
I think
I love
I bathe in Love
Love penetrates all my pores
It streams in my blood
Love, love, Love

Thoughts of love are so much involved in the process, whenever we pray. It is almost impossible to think about our Creator and not think about love, or Love (with the capital L). And yet for so many people in this world, prayer is comprised of merely mechanically repeating a few phrases they memorized a long time ago without giving it a lot of thought or feeling. Once we start to think, and think deeply and feel, feel deeply while we pray, our prayers tend to get so much more meaningful. 

Many people see prayer as a sacrifice, that they make for our Creator.
Once we pray with mind and heart and soul, it does not longer feel like that.
It becomes a joy, rather than a sacrifice!

My sons

To the most gracious
and the most forgiving
Creator of this world, I pray

I pray for my sons

My sons,
may our dear Creator give you wisdom,
wisdom to live a life filled with goodness.
Goodness from you to others
and goodness from others to you.

    Wisdom to live a life filled with sharing
    A life filled with joy and peace of mind
    A life filled with genuine happiness and honesty
    A life filled with respect from you and for you.

May our dear Creator give you love
a life filled with love
a loving wife and loving children
loving friends and loving neighbors.

    Our hearts are full of love
    May our dear God help you to bring it out
    to give it away to all around you
    to receive love from all around you.

May our dear God protect you
and give you a life of safety
and good health
protect you from evil friends
from excessive sin

May our dear God show you His path
and inspire you to follow it
'Cause if we follow His path
peace and joy and happiness
flows from within to flood
our soul, heart, mind and body.

Compassion and Wealth

My God,
Give me endless compassion
Give me endless love
endless kindness
and abundant wealth

Give the wisdom to value
endless love, endless kindness
and endless compassion,
at least as much as
abundant wealth

If I will manage this,
I will have a life full,
filled with love, kindness
filled with compassion
and yes also abundant wealth
