Prayerful Quotes

“Humility is not a one time lesson that comes when you have lost everything. It is a daily reminder of how far we have come, yet still short of who we can be through HIS guidance. Blessed is the soul that can recognize that he isn’t moving mountains, but God is for him.”
― Shannon Alder

“Sometimes when I open my Bible to read, a verse leaps off the page and I know God is speaking to me. Sometimes I read and nothing seems to be illuminated. Sometimes I pray and have the keen sense that He is listening to every word and will answer me. Sometimes when I pray, I have no awareness that He's anywhere around. Sometimes when I go to church or draw aside for some quiet reflection, I have the overwhelming sense that Jesus is right beside me. At other times in the exact same settings, I have no conscious awareness of His presence at all. And I know by each experience — as I read my Bible and pray and work and worship — that He is teaching me to live by FAITH, not by my feelings.”
― Anne Graham Lotz, The Magnificent Obsession

“There is a close connection between prayer and rest in the spiritual life. In fact, as progress is made, the distinction between them tends to disappear, and prayer overflows from the times set apart for it, and begins to penetrate the rest of the day, so that, whether in word or in work, the soul is always lifted up to God in a union of love.”
― Eugene Boylan, Difficulties in mental prayer

“Africa is
My parentage
.... this place
Is not my home
I abide
In a land designed
.... by men
Who hate my 'tone

May the blood of my antecedents
Bless my seed
.... and may it be
Their defense
And may that blood
Forever protect
.... their truth
And their innocence

“Poem of the Phalanx
(Perception as Visual Personal Art)

Memories, shard, intersect and twitch,
Create images anew as they inter and switch.
Amid blackness eternal, the ground breaks the day
And the shape which cuts the ground—

Phalanx in time—reapers way. 5

Thoughts as geometric planes galley the night mind,
Images thoughted, float raging ever by.
Comets to the mind–bolt outta the black they mortise and fly–
Disappear they do–into their midnighted cry.
(Yea, evil is wrought from the want of the want of Love’s lost ought. 10
Goodness wrights of the abundance of Love in blood ’twas bought.

—Live the moment within God’s Mind too,
For once missed she will pass by you.
But He alone shall remember thy days,
For in His Heart He will hold thy ways. 15

(. . . Surmount untold; reproaching its summits hidden self face,
Can’t make for a daydrop of lost opportunity and regret’s disgrace.
Yes, eternities of regrets can never create
The day’s bested instance that was forsaked).


Fleets of illusion harbor and snag, 20
Bristled spears impale with emotive jags.
Willish anvil beaten and enhammored in bers red embs,
Guards the hellgates unhinged in forged remembered contems.

(Aye, the anvil of will beaten and wrought
Sentinels the gate ripped in forged oughts). 25

Phalanx of dreams penetrate they deep,
Guard thy soul they do lest the enemy
storms thy keep.
They rancor and barb thyself under penalty of arms,
And kill the dragons
that would do thee most harm.

Yea, in the Belly of the Beast thy wounds do feel pierced, 30
For Love Eternal must cut darkness as the Spirit is so fierce.

The hour of shadows exalt—! ’Gainst
the Christ in His plain splin‴try array–
Yet curshed in a moment on that ill-fated day.

The way of caution doth forbear to tread beyond the mire
In those bleak hours when the ‘Powers that Be’ seek
to solace thee in thy soulish desires. 35

Mercy travails deep upon the Fires of His Winds
To heal by His cut; His own everlasting His–
Is to die to Love Eternal with He,
–as He now does and is . . .

Hell for others, heaven for some,
His work ’tis finished all given and in all thrust done. 40
As Love rejoices His shed blood run red for thee—,
—Things Divined and precioius for you
and for me forever in He

(The spear that killed Him gave Him life
–the enemy’s travesty).

Phalanx comes, phalanx goes,
Wither are thou—dost thousest know? 45
Are ye pierced through and through out within?
Seek his face so life may begin

Sharp keys to hell the warriors doth say,
Yet unlock they the gate to heaven’s pathway.

End”

“Dear women of worth. Eternal life is more precious than any temporary pleasure. Wrong men can derail women from the right path. Some women are in the hospital because of men. Some in the morgue because of men. Some in the grave because of men. Regrettably, some in hell because of men. That is why we need to be prayerful and careful of the men we allow in our lives.”
