THE LORDS PRAYER...

When I can't sleep and I'm lay there with the many burdens of my day on my mind.  The burdens weigh heavy on my heart.  They  become so difficult that words do not come, hard to speak in prayer .. This prayer( The Lords Prayer)  Jesus gave us, not just to recite without thought or meaning, but is given because it encompasses all that we need..
Thinking on each word and sentence and the meaning in which they were meant, gives me peace, gives me assurance, calms my soul as each word is uttered  through His Spirit ...
I think of His kingdom, His promises, His Love, that He will not only take care of me here on earth, but that there is a promise that He has  a place in heaven for me..
As I whisper and think about his Holiness and Who He is, my spirit is one with His....
 I begin to thank Him for the many provisions he provides to sustain and strengthen me..
Asking that He forgive me for my many trespasses,
transgressions and sins..
This prayer says I am to forgive those who have hurt me and or find it hard for me to forgive..
He wants me to lean on Him when I face insurmountable  temptations, for it is He who will lead me from temptation and the sins I inevitably think about doing, let alone do..
It is through Him I receive power, glory and forgiveness ..
I am delivered into His kingdom through grace ...
 Forever,
Amen..
Amazingly, after I internalize the Lord's Prayer with each word and purpose, I am able to lift those who are hurting with illnesses, as well as those who are suffering with burdens of life. I leave my  concerns and heartaches at His throne and at His feet..
My burdens that brought me to Him in the middle of the night are given to him ..
It is then I drift back into a peaceful sleep ..
