Words of Jesus
But I said to you that you have seen me and yet do not believe. All that the Father gives me will come to me; and him who comes to me I will not cast out. For I have come down from heaven, not to do my own will, but the will of him who sent and this is the will of him who sent me, that I should lose nothing of all that he has given me, but raise it up at the last day.me;
John 6:36-39
No one is a martyr for a conclusion, no one is a martyr for an opinion; it is faith that makes martyrs.
— John Henry Cardinal Newman
Abba, Father, Lord God, I try to ask not for things from under the sun but for understanding and acceptance. Not that I have achieved any control and or discipline to the desires of the flesh and selfishness or tamed the pride and anger that has consumed me but because I believe the Words of Jesus and He is 'the the bread of life; he who comes to Him shall not hunger, and he who believes in Him shall never thirst'. So this and only this I seek and ask in prayer each day that You liken me to the image of Jesus and help me hear, act and fulfill Your will for me, always blessing me with the gift of understanding and acceptance in a way that Jesus' presence within me be visible and felt by those You place in my path. So again I say, I try not to test You or ask that You stop the suffering and illnesses under the sun or that You judge and bring an end to the evil that exists, but to keep my mind, body and spirit consummated In Jesus. Blessed am I in this and from this state I my knees I do lift up in prayer the names of those in need of Your healing, comfort, understanding rest and peace. In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, Amen.
