To Walk and Talk with God By Brenda Drake

To Walk and Talk with God

To walk and talk with God to most is impossibility.
How can this happen if you cannot God see?
How can you listen to someone that does not make a sound?
And then show another the truth that you have found?
It is not impossible, although it is only possible by faith.
Its reality then is so sure, its confession you will not hesitate.
To walk with God is to be aware that He is near.
To talk with God is to know every word He hears.
To listen is to be still and allow self to die,
So you can hear the God that within you abides.
Trust and faith causes worry to the enemies around,
For they know you are walking on holy ground.
Your guide ( Holy Spirit) instructs and teaches God’s Word,
And your heart grasps the truth and practices what you have heard.
Man becomes what God has always planned him to be,
Not a separate being but a part of Him through eternity.
One heart and one mind, one through and through,
One day it will be stranger to not in God move.
Draw close and listen, and you will move in one accord.
You will be one of the ones that walk and talk with the Lord!

John 14:16-17
And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever; Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be with you.

Heart Talks by Brenda Drake

There is nothing as special as the holy, personal, heart connection between God and a grateful, repented, thankful sinner’s heart; that is saved from eternal damnation.  Sweet songs of peace, joy, worship are delivered to and through His redeemed.

Heart Talks

Expressions of deep water overflows,
To reveal precious nuggets of the soul.
Sweet sounds of yearning, burning desires,
Are brought to and from God’s loving fires.
Dig deep into the hidden places find,
The sacred sacrifice, at the appointed time.
Heart-talk speaks in different ways and dialects,
To intended listeners selected best.
Love is the language all understand,
It is felt more than heard in all lands.
Expressions, impressions, and confessions all the same;
Are personally conveyed messages the heart proclaims.
Come rest at the feet of the One you adore,
Heart to heart; in touch with the Living Lord.
At worship, in work, in play, and at rest,
Whole, happy, and free; as His you are blessed.
In trouble or trial, in sickness and pain,
Heart-talk with the Master breaks heavy chains.
Jesus is the Word of God and He speaks clear,
Come closer; with hearts together, the world love’s language hears

Proverbs 23:26
My son, give me your heart, and let your eyes observe my ways.

Dip Into His Goodness By Brenda Drake

God hears and answers prayer. He leads and guides us to truth, and never tires of our interactions with Him.  It makes life a lot easier when we are at ease in His presence and know without a shadow of doubt, He is for us not against us.  We are able to call on His help day or night. He never will leave or forsake us.  I love to dip into His goodness in praise and prayer.

Dip Into His Goodness

Some have discovered how to receive,
They come often for all their needs.
They know great supply is always near,
They dip into God’s goodness without fear.
Some arrive just because they love the taste,
They love the goodness of His grace.
Sometimes they come into His presence for another;
To share a morsel with a sister or brother.
When they come for another often gifts are prepared for them;
Thrills of joy and blessed peace that flows within.
As they partake and share God’s goodness others believe,
They also can His help receive.
Come and dip into God’s great provision,
Spend some special time with Him.
Consume the Word and lift words of praise and prayer,
And of His great abundance is with you shared
There is no time unacceptable, and there is no time limit set.
You can come at any time and get as close as you desire to get.
Drink in God’s goodness, dip deep in the flow,
And you’ll be filled with love that overflows
Bathe in God’s presence and you will the truth see,
That it was always God’s intention: He planned it to be.

Psalms 34:8
O taste and see that the LORD is good: blessed is
the man that trusteth in him.

Silently Before Him By Brenda Drake

God is as close as a prayer; even closer than this.  We are immediately in His presence.  I love to sit silently at His feet with full knowledge He hears my innermost thoughts. I am very aware of the honor of such liberty.  His love invites me in at any part of the day; whether I am in a melancholy mood or exuberantly talkative.  He likes our company.

Silently Before Him

As I sit silently before my Lord, as I reverently look to Him;
His awesome majesty settles in.
The air smells sweeter and life becomes,
A precious gift that has come,
It is a privilege given to me;
I can in His presence be.
What an honor He bestows,
He looks favorably upon my soul.
Oh songs of praise I desire to sing,
To honor and give glory to Christ my King.
New words need to be created to express the love within;
For it is new every day; eternal, and never ends.
It is as astounding as forever – as I silently rest at His feet,
The love He showers down is inexpressibly sweet.
His smile upon me is like a refreshing drink of holiness,
When I come before Him I feel Heaven’s kiss.

Psalms 63:3
Because thy lovingkindness is better than life, my lips shall praise thee.

Whisper: I will never leave or forsake you.

Romans 8:35-39
Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter. Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us. For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

God in Your Darkest Place

In the saddest place, in the place where terror strikes;
In the darkest place where there seems to be no light;
In the place of mass-destruction where confusion fills the air;
Where nothing seems right and nothing seems fair;
In the greatest valley where the sun does not seem to shine;
Or in the loneliest place you could ever find;
In the place of hard decision where is agony of the soul,
When it seems it is easier to of sanity let go;
The place of heart-break where life is no longer fun;
When the future looks bleak and there is nowhere to run;
In this place or any other, no matter what you feel is true;
Your God has not forsaken or abandoned you.
I AM will take the terrible pain away,
And there will again be sunshine in your day.
Love surrounds, fills, and delivers you; victory is ahead.
Be assured of the great future prepared as you are by the Spirit led.

Lord you are always faithful and my help in times of trouble.

Whisper: Want to meet me in our special place?

Matthew 6:6
But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly

Get in the Closet and Shut the Door

When the world weighs heavy and the noise rings loud,
And the path is cluttered and you feel lost in the crowd,
It is time to go to the closet and shut the door,
And pour your heart out to the Lord.
Sing with fervor at all He has done for you.
Sing aloud as in the Spirit you move.
Really sing and lift praises up high,
So, the sound of your heart fills the sky.
Lose yourself in worship and you will find,
Your true self is found in this precious time.
Your voice will carry its message on Spirit wings,
As a beautiful gift delivered to the King.
His favor falls on you and settles deep within.
Your world becomes at peace again.
Gone, is the heavy load and the loud clamor in your ear;|
The clutter from you heart and mind has disappeared.
You do not feel you are lost in a crowd anymore,
For you have found favor and the full attention of your Lord,

Oh, how much better I feel when I spend time in God’s presence.

Heart Ready and Mind Set By Brenda Drake

brendadrakepoetry Leave a comment

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.

Prayer of Expectation By Brenda Drake

Prayer of Expectation

Father I come to You in petition in prayer,
To ask in behalf of another for whom I care.
Now I believe it is Your love that is within me for them so strong.
And that it is Your desire to turn them from wrong.
So I ask in faith that You will intervene in their behalf.
And You will draw them into You and provide what it is they lack.
The ones I pray for I know has a choice to make,
But I pray that the chains that bind You will break.
Draw them each and every one closer to you still,
Help them to desire the Father’s will.
By faith I expect to see,
The evil spirits that hinder them begins to flee.
I will expect to see a great mighty work begin,
As You help them to recognize their sin.
And as You draw them as a bee to honey-comb.
I give thanks and praise right now to You and You alone.

Matthew 21:22
And all things, whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive.

Easy to the Point Prayers By Brenda Drake

Easy To the Point Prayers

When time is at essence brevity of prayer is best
There is no need to form long, complicated requests.
God sees the problem you asking to be solved,
Your prayer invites Him to be involved.
Life was meant to be a sharing between God and man;
With a free flow always was the plan.
Free and easy and fully comfortable to do,
With no great maze of things needed to go through.
Like a child and their loving father upon the earth would ask.
They would climb up and rest upon their daddy’s lap,
Knowing full well they had his attention,
Knowing they could trust in his good intentions.
They are sure of his love and know he will do his best.
So they ask and believe they will receive, and then they put it to rest.
Their hugs and kisses seal the deal made between them.
Then they run off to play with their friends.
The child of God that knows he is loved is not afraid.
They do not need to practice what they must do or say.
They do not approach the throne with fearful attempts.
They know their God is for them not against.
Long repetitious prayers are a waste to hear.
Causing dishonor to the God that desires you to draw near.
When in worship and in praise and thanksgiving you will find
Heaven kisses your spirit with assurance and gives you peace of mind. 

Philippians 4:6
Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. 7 And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
