Heart Ready and Mind Set By Brenda Drake

We are instructed in God’s Word to pray.  There is much to pray for.  We need to lift up all our petitions with a heart willing to let them rest at the foot of the cross.  God hears and answers prayers that align with His Word,  In Jesus name we pray.

Heart Ready and Mind Set

Heart is ready, mind is set, and spirit prepared to go,
To meet with Jesus, the lover of my soul.
Even in my expectation I find,
There is some hesitation at the same time.
My heart is heavy with concerns of the world’s plight,
As terrible doom seems to now loom in sight.
My mind spins at fallacies in the land,|
And at the blatant evil that has overtaken man.
My spirit groans as does the earth in its travail for change,
I yearn for a revival to things rearrange.
I pray for blind eyes to see and for deaf ears to hear.
I pray those dead in their sins to be drawn near.
I pray for the touch of God to invoke our lives,
Where men are men that choose the ways right.
I pray for true repentance where change is forever true.
I pray for safety on the streets and again in the schools.
I pray for the fire of God to revive the Church to become,
Truly a holy living representative of God’s Son.
I pray that there is a greater desire to God’s Word obey.
And that multitudes more sing God’s praise night and day,
I pray every heart is ready with mind set for the spirit to go,
Into the arms of the God that proved He is the lover of every soul.

John 14:13-18 
“And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son”.

1 Thessalonians 5:17
 Pray without ceasing.

If I Had a Canvas White By Brenda Drake

This poem is in my new daily devotional book released on Amazon, titled God’s Whispers to the Heart By Brenda Drake

Whisper: You are the work of my hand.

1 Peter 1:3-5
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which according to his abundant mercy hath begotten us again unto a lively hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, To an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that fadeth not away, reserved in heaven for you, Who are kept by the power of God through faith unto salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.

If I Had a Canvas White

If I had a canvas white,
Where I could paint a picture of my life;
I wonder would I be honest and paint in the things,
That I do not like or are not pleasing to my King?
Or would my picture only show,
What I want the world to know?
I think it would be a boring picture that no one could relate too;
Bland and uninteresting, and easily looked through.
But God is the Master painter …He paints it as it is.
Everything we see as a shadow is expertly finished as His.
Every hurt and trouble is lovingly painted in;
But it still is made into a life that glorifies Him.
He is still at work; each day an added stroke with expert hand.
My life is His now and I am already signed by I AM.
Nothing is hidden I am transparent before Him I adore.
That the world gets a glimpse of Him within me is what I am living for.

One day we will in awe behold the masterpiece You have created!
