Prayers for Renewing a Troubled Mind and Anxious or Broken Heart, by Michelle Nicole Murphy
Dear God, When life turns upside down and I find myself grieving major losses in my life, my mind is troubled and my heart anxious. I appreciate the blessings that have come my way all throughout my life, including the inclination to be a strong woman. At times, however, I have coped with turmoil in unhealthy and self-destructive ways. I ask You for strength and peace in remembrance for what has happened recently. That is the best way I can think to honor the blessings in my life. For me it is not about moving on, but pressing forward in a way that is healthy and admirable. Shine your light upon me and keep my footings firm - I want to be a "new woman", a "Godly woman" and a woman that appreciates the blessings of this life. Life may never be the same, but it shall never be a curse. Renew my troubled mind and anxious heart. Amen.
Dear God, One day when I pass away from this life and my judgment has occurred I hope to find myself in a place where worry, sin and turmoil are absent. Maybe Christians are wishful thinkers, but I do see much evidence for the Biblical view of eternity. Thank you for Your prodding to put away a wild past and bad behaviors. Thank You for pulling me out of skewed frames of mind ongoing. Thank You for moving me through the grief process with good success. Some of the past still haunts me and I ask for Your help in letting go. Encourage me to let go of grudges and pessimistic views, and to be positive and keep moving. Anxieties have kept me on a short-lease from time to time, and I pray for Your continued support to heal. Forgive me for the sins I have committed related to gossiping, wild lifestyles and over-attempts to control my own life. You are the guiding light in our lives, and I should consult Your ways more often in pursuing plans. Forgive me for my lack of prayerfulness, and my time-to-time doubt of Your existence. It seems I have a difficult spiritual life, and some of that is my own doing. In the name of the Holiest One, Our Father, Amen.
Poem - My Redemption Song, by Michelle Nicole Murphy
Let the Truth Be Mon'Amie and My
Enemy, For It exists and It breathes.
Its tangible, non-tangible at the same time.
Doubt not, but stay wonderstruck of All.
A part of the Truth knows Time but is beyond Time.
Like the tangles in our hair. Like our last breathe.
The tangle wasn't written in the stars.
The Truth is our last breathe IS, was & always will be.
This is my redemption song.
My mood ring tells me I have the mood of a
White cotton puff stirring about in my bones & spirit,
Like the Pale White Horse, like Death.
To me I'm in that altered state beyond regular existence.
But it's like a slice of equanimity - A mood so tense
Its not tense at all, Peace without knowing peace.
The Truth is I must Be still and Know God.
Or I won't know Paradise...
This is my redemption song.
For the Truth is John 3:19 - "This is the Judgment,
That the Light has come into the world, and men Loved
Darkness Rather than Light." - I have Loved Darkness
Rather than Light of late. Didn't abstain and now Stained anew.
For if I AM knows and doesn't know time, what time is it
For me now? And for Mon'Ami and My Enemy? - "T'was Grace
That taught my heart to fear. And Grace, my fears relieved."
The Truth is we shall Be God-fearing Or Redemption shan't be ours...
Tremble my heart oh Lord, So I may sing my redemption song.
