A Prayer For My Brother

Thank you, Lord, for my brother
and for the love we have for each other.
I know that You're with him wherever he may be and from danger you'll keep him free.
I know my prayers haven't gone unanswered and you gave him the strength I asked for.
You never gave him more than he could take and tomorrow with Honors he will graduate.
Although Your Will may be hard to follow through
He did it, Lord, because he wants to live for You.
Now help him, Lord, through the rest of this journey, I know he relies on You solely.
Thank You because You give us more than what we ask and he has successfully completed this difficult task.
You always give us exactly what we need when we have faith the size of a mustard seed.

The Lord is near to all who call upon Him;
to all who call upon Him in truth.
- Psalm 145:18



I sought to hear the voice of God,
And climbed the topmost steeple.
But God declared, "Go down again,
I dwell among the people."

- Louis I. Newman




What it is I think about God is the assignment they gave me. ….so I stopped and I thought and I’ve come to the conclusion that I don’t really know him…I stop and I pray in the night and during the day. When I’m feeling alone or scared when I thought no one cared…. But I dared to take the challenge of knowing Him. Owing Him my LOVE while not understanding. Trusting that things WILL get better. WEATHER what may seem like EXTREME… But in reality it’s no FATALITY. He has been there all along…even when I’ve done wrong. I’ve never gone with out a shelter, a meal, or basic necessities so to me… I feel fortunate … He’s pulled me out of HORROR, my unfortunate past, But keeps me out optimistic to a future that His love shall one day cast.

What can I say.... small groups are awesome watch as we all blossom into the role models God has chosen us to be. Free from MISCONCEPTTIONS, MISDIRECTIONS in our lives perhaps someday wives. Awesome mothers, protective brothers, nurturing mentors to mediate and to alleviate one another's PAIN FEEL NO SHAME we’re all united in Christ's name.

The darkness paints with shades of black
His ghost still clawing at your back
So draw him near and hold him dear
In hopes that comfort calms your fear
But now you paint in shades of grey
While light and darkness fade away
