The Listener
This is our story.
Our most desperate need today is not the accumulation of possessions
or the achievement of worldly successes.
Our basic needs are very few, and it takes little to acquire them.
We can survive on a small amount of bread and water
and inhabit the poorest of shelters.
We always have.
Our real need, our most pressing need, is for someone to listen to us
not as a patient, but as a human soul.
We need to ask someone why were we born? How will we live?
Why will we die? What happens beyond?
Who listens?
God listens, the Listener.
We have only to talk to Him.
Right now. Today. Tomorrow. Forever.
He understands our pleasures, our pains, our joys, our sorrows,
our sins, our crimes, our secrets, our terrors.
He will not turn you away if you are a sinner, the worst of sinners.
He has listened to us.
He will continue to listen.
While He listens we will solve our own problems.
Will he speak to us also?
If we ask Him to.
Will we hear His voice?
If we listen.
God Of The Impossible
Let me know God of the impossible.
With Him all things are possible.
The impossible is possible.
Impossible things do happen,
and with this knowledge I can produce a strong faith.
Cultivate my faith.
Conceive of greater and greater things occurring
because of my faith/.
Ponder bigger and bigger thoughts of faith.
Dream, reach for, and accomplish the impossible dream.
Stretch my mind further and further.
Think deep and far and high and wide.
Pray to God with all my heart, mind and spirit.
I can go as high as my faith, dreams thoughts, and prayers to God.
Break the bonds of my faults, limitations, and weaknesses.
Shatter the confines of the earthbound,
and soar the boundless infinity of heaven.
Go pass the point of no return.
Stretch my faith further and further.
My faith cannot be stretched further than God,
but my faith can stretch me to Him.
Stretch my faith to Him.
Let me know God of the impossible.
In the name of Jesus Christ.
Amen.
