Prayerful Thoughts from Rusty Stephens
Heavenly Father,
For the prayer within, we pray in the name of your son our Savior, Jesus Christ.
We know that when you, Heavenly Father, created the earth it was a perfect place totally without sin or any evil. Then Adam and Eve could not resist the temptation to eat from that one forbidden tree in the garden that you, God, did not want them to eat from. Everything changed from perfect to being sinful and corrupted by evil, compliments of the devil. Since then life would be much harder with all of the atrocities that come with it.
God, so much in this world is not good and is very different from the beautiful and perfect place of Heaven. This is an eternal place promised to anyone who believes in God’s only son Jesus Christ, then to you, Jesus, confesses all of their sins, ask for forgiveness, then through God The Father’s forgiveness be cleansed and made pure in his sight. In this life though, you Lord, give us glimpses and hints into the eternal excellence of what we have coming.
In the outdoors, a gorgeous sunrise or sunset with the sky in a beautiful array of colors. The bright spectrum of colors across the sky from a rainbow. A crisp autumn day with clear deep blue skies and in many locations the bright colors of leaves changing. Looking out at the shimmering blue water of a lake, down along a stream or river, or at the coast seeing waves crash onto shore. In mountains and rolling country, woodlands and grasslands deep in green. Plants in full bloom with flowers brightening up the landscape. Geological and rock formations also beautifying some areas of land. Did you ever think of this as being small glimpses of Heavens beauty?
In cities, towns, and neighborhoods, people working together for a good cause. When someone is having difficulty, a caring person whether known or not offering to help out. When an emergency occurs a Good Samaritan coming to the rescue. Small things like holding a door for someone struggling to get through, a genuinely friendly greeting, an encouraging and uplifting comment to someone having a difficult day, and a departure with a pleasant and caring message. Perhaps these are just small hints of the eternal love everyone has for each other in Heaven.
With our faith in you, Lord, we see your glorious works and experience your powerful love for us. People with little or no faith allowing the Holy Spirit to enter into them, thus becoming solid believers in you, Jesus. Anyone of any age who receives the magnificent cleansing of Holy Baptism, setting up a solid foundation in Christ. When youth and adults with enthusiasm search to find out more about you, Jesus, by researching the Bible and other truthful and useful means. At church in the fellowship of others you, Lord, provide a sanctuary for at least a little while to worship you, away from the sinful problems of the outside world. In church we hear your word, Lord, in the scripture readings and though an informative, uplifting, inspiring sermon which helps to bring the teachings of our Lord into today’s world. Also the music and singing of hymns and songs glorifying you, Jesus; along with the assurance that our sins are forgiven and we are cleansed totally through confession and absolution, and also by the body and blood of Jesus received through the bread and wine at Holy Communion. And not to leave out the Prayers where we ask you, Jesus, for aid to ones in need of help, healing, comfort or guidance, and issues that your direction is needed on, also to give you thanks for everything you do. Just a small amount of time worshiping our amazing God until our eternal worship in Heaven.
We thank you, Lord, for giving us these glimpses and hints into the beauty of Heaven. These help all of us to focus on you, Jesus, and continue our confidence in faith that the perfect place of Heaven is guaranteed to all of us who continue to follow you,Jesus. Jesus, you have told us that Heaven is a place free from the devil and all sin, pain, sickness, sadness, hate, bitterness, anger, violence, selfishness, untrustworthiness and any other negative happenings of this world. Instead we will have eternal happiness, peace, joy, beauty, wonderfulness and most of all the greatest love that we have ever known. Thank you, Jesus, for granting us this greatest gift to come and we look forward to seeing you there face to face.
Lord, we can just imagine that the devil will not even be remembered in the glory of Heaven. It’s wonderful to think if somehow the name of Satan came up in Heaven, that everyone there would be responding; “I don’t know any Satan; Satan who?
Lord In Your Mercy
Hear Our Prayer
Amen.
