Reminders

As I was reading my devotional this morning, this phrase jumped out to me...

"My heart goes out to all who truly seek after Me, however haltingly they walk. So, keep on learning to pray - by praying. There is a world of wonder waiting to be discovered through prayer."

AND then that reminded me a something I wrote a couple of years ago...our prayers are precious to our Father.

 “…golden bowls full of incense,

which are the prayers of the saints.”

Revelation 5 : 8b

Lift your prayers,

            allow the praises to flow.

Release them from the hold of this world,

            watch as heavenward they go.

Allow your praise & petition

            to permeate the sky.

Let your heart’s love loose,

            to the Lord let praises fly.

With all the assurance of faith

            & joy of His grace,

Know our prayers have a home ~

            a very special place.

These are not the empty words

            of a hollow heart,

But, Love’s words taken flight,

            in worshipful praise.

They go to our King,

            our Saviour & Lord.

There, in His court

            in golden bowls they are stored.

Our prayers are a treasure,

            the incense of praise.

The gentle wafting of words,

            our chorus of voices raised.

This joining of saints in Love,

            made fresh & anew,

Will sing a new song

            in Glory’s heavenly hue.

Not by our word’s strength or our worship

            are the bowls full of an offering,

But by the grace of Jesus,

            we lift our souls to sing.

Holy, Holy, Worthy, Worthy,

will we forever sing.

By mercy, by Love,

we are a holy incense before our King.
