Pray continually (for M.B.)


When I wake up, you are still with me! (Psalm 139:18; NLT).

I wake,
And start to worship you;
Get out of bed –
Rejoice.

I wash,
And say: I love you, Jesus;
Dress,
And hear your voice.

I pray,
And thank your Holy Ghost –
My God,
We are conjoint!

To live in you
Is all I ask;
To pray:
My constant choice.

Pray continually (1 Thessalonians 5:17; NIV).

Christ is all that matters, and he lives in all of us (Colossians 3:11; NLT).

The Spirit, too, comes to help us in our weakness. For we don’t know how to pray as we should, but the Spirit expresses our plea with groanings too deep for words. And God, who knows everything in our hearts, knows perfectly well what the Spirit is saying, because her intercessions for God’s holy people are made according to the mind of God (Romans 8:26-7; TIV).

God is love, and all who live in love live in God, and God lives in them (1 John 4:16; NLT).

I pray, kneeling before the Father, from whom every family, whether spiritual or natural, takes its name: Out of his infinite glory, may he give you the power through his Spirit for your hidden self to grow strong, so that Christ may live in your hearts through faith, and then, planted in love and built on love, you will with all the saints have strength to grasp the breadth and the length, the height and the depth; until, knowing the love of Christ, which is beyond all knowledge, you are filled with the utter fullness of God (Ephesians 3:14-19; JB).
