Forgiven in Quiet Sacred Ways

Asking for forgiveness I humbled myself in prayer, Save me from myself, Jesus... Of all my sin's burdens... I now share For change, it was time, the pain all too real My choices so selfish, I'd acted in pride My heart so hard and heavy it needed to heal I could no longer run from God nor could I hide Setting my ego and desires aside! I trusted to obey. With Jesus to abide. Love and tenderness combining I feel abundantly blessed It is sacred and refining Purely, quietly- rest Seeking for forgiveness, I completely confessed My repentant heart melted, mindful of His grace I recognized how abundantly I have been blessed Here, I see He refined me in quiet sacred ways! I feel my heart changed In quiet sacred ways

Trying to put into words

How sacred is God's Word!

What joy....to hear Him speak

And feel His mercy, as I seek!

Then the prayer...

Asking for forgiveness 

Is a holy and humble prayer,

As you align yourself with Jesus...

It's then His arms of grace are there

Love and tenderness combining 

We feel abundantly blessed

It is sacred and refining

Purely, quietly- rest!

Pondering comments on Elder Bednar's talk on prayer. Thoughts continue to grow in my heart.

What we get Wrong About Pray Always

Seeking forgiveness aligns us to Christ

As a repentant heart is mindful of His grace

And we recognize how abundantly we've been blessed

Here, we see He refines us in quiet sacred ways!

The Lord entrusts all His servants

With His love, to pass along 

When we are more given to service

We lift others to become strong

@successboy

When you cant find the words to say

Listen more while you pray 

Feel for His holy presence 

And His peace in the silence 

Then examine your heart 

Seek for gratitude, to start 

Then, speak- what troubles it so 

And feel His Spirit within flow 

 With impressions in tow 

Later through words you'll find, you'll know 

Keep this prayer always in your heart 

Read His words and trust He will impart 

Perhaps from what someone says 

Or a voice in your head ...that is His! 

Make a record of the time and place 

Let it fill your mind and heart with thanks

In the Book Of Mormon before Christ's ascension into heaven he said. "Verily I say unto you, whatever thing ye shall ask the father in my name, believing that ye shall receive, it shall be given unto you. Now, this promise is unto all, even unto the ends of the earth. 🌎 This was the last thing Christ said unto the people, in the hearing of the multitude, before his ascension into heaven. Christ didn't instruct the multitude to pray a certain way. He said "Whatsoever thing ye shall ask" Don't restrict your prayers. The Universe is full of miracles, don't limit them in your life. P.s Was a good talk though

All things are possible!

Our Father's universe

Is full of miracles! 

Don't limit Him in your life!

Pray as much as you like!

I only thanks the lord for his restored gospel and how he communicates with us by his servants

That is a beautiful and sufficient gratitude. To thank the Lord for His restored gospel and for speaking to us through His servants is to acknowledge His hand in the most essential things. From that foundation, our asking, trusting, and enduring all find their place. May we continue to hear His voice and follow it faithfully.

It is a beautiful and sufficient prayer

To give thanks for the blessings we all share

For our Savior, His atonement, the gospel,

His priesthood, our covenants, His apostles,

And His temples where eternity becomes possible

From a foundation of thanks

For His loving hand in all things

We know to ask and trust in faith!

Through His tender mercy and grace

We've strength to endure all we'll face!

@DocFixit32 Thank you for sharing your perspective. I agree that when the Savior taught prayer, He emphasized asking—bringing our desires, needs, and burdens honestly before the Father. Scripture repeatedly invites us to ask, seek, and knock. While gratitude matters and can be expressed through our lives and charity, prayer itself is not diminished when it is urgent, pleading, or focused on our needs. God welcomes sincere asking. May His kingdom come swiftly, and may He strengthen us as we endure

Ponder always in your heart

Jesus' teachings and love for you

In His atonement, your part

Of the suffering He went through

A Jewish Prayer for Yeshua

Our Heavenly Father

I read of your invite

To pray, that I matter!

Oh how my heart delights!

My desires, my needs

The woes before my face

I'm here, on my knees

Humbly, for I need Thy grace

My choices weigh my soul

And so does this world

This takes a heavy toll

So much has unfurled

For mercy and forgiveness

For strength to make amends

For endurance through meekness

I pray Thy Son, Thou sends

I plead, sincerely asking

to abide in that sweet peace

That surpasses understanding

That pain inside may cease

That love inside increase

"Shalom"
