Jesus said,
"Watch……stay awake
, praying at all times for the strength
to survive all that is going to happen,
and to stand with confidence before
the Son of Man"
Luke
20:36
To pray is to summon around yourself
the frontiers of the Father's Presence,
shedding all cares, sadness and
anxieties, and placing at His feet
the special burdens of your heart
and mind. Seek the Father's blessing
and He will free you in the instance
of all that impedes your growth
and progress. Desire His will above
all things and ask that all will
be forgiven to fulfil the same in
you, knowing that you will receive
all that is necessary and more indeed.
Quietly and lovingly present before
Him those loved ones and friends,
needs and causes, which are in your
heart and mind; give space and time
also for our Holy Spirit to present
what He will to the centre of your
soul's being for deep intercession
and to accept that which will be
given to you further it. Know at
every stage that I am with you and
within you from the beginning and
I will never leave you unless you
depart from the way. And even then,
I watch from afar.
As you leave the Father's nearer
Presence, when praise and intercession
end, know that you do not leave
the frontiers of His Kingdom; for
insofar as you retain the light
and power which you have received,
you extend the boundaries. And the
light and the power will go with
you in my Saving Love, working in
the hearts and minds of the Father's
children.
Only be true of heart and mind
in all things and at all times and
all will be well. So it is for all
who continue faithfully in trust
and love.
