My Every Breath Is a Prayer for You dear God

My every breath is a prayer, and let my every smile say hello,
And every day that I got, I'll be asking a lot, cause I just gotta know;
You know I'm waiting there for you,
I'd rather learn to live with you or suffer;

But now my heart aches a little,
Now my heart breaks a little ...

1 The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.

2 He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters.

3 He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake.

4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.

5 Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.

6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.      

thank you dear beloved God thank you dear beloved God thank you dear beloved God

1 I will bless the Lord at all times: his praise shall continually be in my mouth.

2 My soul shall make her boast in the Lord: the humble shall hear thereof, and be glad.

3 O magnify the Lord with me, and let us exalt his name together.

4 I sought the Lord, and he heard me, and delivered me from all my fears.

5 They looked unto him, and were lightened: and their faces were not ashamed.

6 This poor man cried, and the Lord heard him, and saved him out of all his troubles.

7 The angel of the Lord encampeth round about them that fear him, and delivereth them.

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

9 O fear the Lord, ye his saints: for there is no want to them that fear him.

10 The young lions do lack, and suffer hunger: but they that seek the Lord shall not want any good thing.

11 Come, ye children, hearken unto me: I will teach you the fear of the Lord.

12 What man is he that desireth life, and loveth many days, that he may see good?

13 Keep thy tongue from evil, and thy lips from speaking guile.

14 Depart from evil, and do good; seek peace, and pursue it.

15 The eyes of the Lord are upon the righteous, and his ears are open unto their cry.

16 The face of the Lord is against them that do evil, to cut off the remembrance of them from the earth.

17 The righteous cry, and the Lord heareth, and delivereth them out of all their troubles.

18 The Lord is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart; and saveth such as be of a contrite spirit.

19 Many are the afflictions of the righteous: but the Lord delivereth him out of them all.

20 He keepeth all his bones: not one of them is broken.

21 Evil shall slay the wicked: and they that hate the righteous shall be desolate.

22 The Lord redeemeth the soul of his servants: and none of them that trust in him shall be desolate.

1 The transgression of the wicked saith within my heart, that there is no fear of God before his eyes.

2 For he flattereth himself in his own eyes, until his iniquity be found to be hateful.

3 The words of his mouth are iniquity and deceit: he hath left off to be wise, and to do good.

4 He deviseth mischief upon his bed; he setteth himself in a way that is not good; he abhorreth not evil.

5 Thy mercy, O Lord, is in the heavens; and thy faithfulness reacheth unto the clouds.

6 Thy righteousness is like the great mountains; thy judgments are a great deep: O Lord, thou preservest man and beast.

7 How excellent is thy loving kindness, O God! Therefore the children of men put their trust under the shadow of thy wings.

8 They shall be abundantly satisfied with the fatness of thy house; and thou shalt make them drink of the river of thy pleasures.

9 For with thee is the fountain of life: in thy light shall we see light.

10 O continue thy loving kindness unto them that know thee; and thy righteousness to the upright in heart.

11 Let not the foot of pride come against me, and let not the hand of the wicked remove me.

12 There are the workers of iniquity fallen: they are cast down, and shall not be able to rise.

thank you dear beloved God thank you dear beloved God thank you dear beloved God

1 Truly my soul waiteth upon God: from him cometh my salvation.

2 He only is my rock and my salvation; he is my defense; I shall not be greatly moved.

3 How long will ye imagine mischief against a man? ye shall be slain all of you: as a bowing wall shall ye be, and as a tottering fence.

4 They only consult to cast him down from his excellency: they delight in lies: they bless with their mouth, but they curse inwardly. Selah.

5 My soul, wait thou only upon God; for my expectation is from him.

6 He only is my rock and my salvation: he is my defense; I shall not be moved.

7 In God is my salvation and my glory: the rock of my strength, and my refuge, is in God.

8 Trust in him at all times; ye people, pour out your heart before him: God is a refuge for us. Selah.

9 Surely men of low degree are vanity, and men of high degree are a lie: to be laid in the balance, they are altogether lighter than vanity.

10 Trust not in oppression, and become not vain in robbery: if riches increase, set not your heart upon them.

11 God hath spoken once; twice have I heard this; that power belongeth unto God.

12 Also unto thee, O Lord, belongeth mercy: for thou renderest to every man according to his work.

THE DIVINE WILL OF GOD

The divine will of the God is the concept of God having a design for humanity and the desire to see that this plan is fulfilled.

Have we ever wondered about God's will for our life? We all should and can know the purpose God has for our lives. In fact, God wants us to know the reason He created us and put us here on this earth.

Throughout history, some questions have constantly moved men. Men have always sought the answers to the fundamental questions of life: 

"Who are we and why are we here?" Why do we exist? What is our destiny? Why were we created? Do we just exist for a short time and then disappear forever? What sets us apart from the animal world? What makes us different from any of the other living creatures?

Knowing about his origin and about the reason for his existence are important things that everyman must know, be he rich or poor, learned or illiterate, wise or fool.  This is the knowledge that frees man from thoughts of power, fame, riches or wisdom and that leads him to striving for a worthy existence dedicated to the Almighty. 

There is a Design of continual perfection working out in the Universe. It is the magnetic impulse which urges people to greater achievements and which advances the condition of humanity. It prompts human beings to grow, to progress, and to reach toward an ever higher consciousness. The Design materializes through high ideals in all fields of human striving, and slowly people begin to improve conditions and to register new possibilities. 

The Design is the translation of Divine Purpose. It leads humanity and nations to a higher understanding and a greater implementation of God's purpose. The objectives of the outline include the creation of harmony among nations through mutual understanding and cooperation, the nurturing of spiritual consciousness, and a greater synthesis of the material and the spiritual. The blueprint fosters a spirit of inclusiveness between people of all religions and nations. 

The Great Invocation prayer, a mantram, a meditation, given by beloved Djwhal Khul, the Tibetan Teacher, for the New Age and for all Humanity is:

"Essentially a prayer which synthesizes the highest desire, aspiration and spiritual demand of the very soul of all humanity."

 

God's will for our lives, I think, is divided into two distinct parts that I call general and personal. The first part is for us to accept Him as Lord and Savior. The scriptures say that He is "not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance" (II Peter 3:9).

God has blessed us with a will. He will never violate our free will. It is one thing that is strictly our own. No one can force us to believe or not to believe.

The second part of His will is more specific. God has a divine design for our lives. He has something for all of us to do. He has blessed us with talents, gifts and abilities which we can use to bring glory and honor to Him.

I can't tell you what God's will is for your life, but I can say that God has one specifically for each life. Only we can fulfill the purpose He has for our life; something which only we can do. God will show us His divine design in which He created us to do, only if we are really interested in it.

I think it helps to have a grasp of the fundamentals of life, especially at a time when we know that all aspects of our understanding are going to be called into question, God created forms from his/her own Being, placed a spark of Its Divinity in them, and sent them on a path of spiritual evolution so that these sparks could one day realize their true identity as Him and in that moment God would meet God. At that moment, God, for His own enjoyment, would experience His own bliss.

The purpose of life is that the only Being makes his oneness intelligible to Himself. He goes through different planes of evolution, to make clear to Himself His oneness. And as long as this purpose is not accomplished, the one and only Being has not reached His ultimate satisfaction, in which lies His divine perfection.

The Divine Will can be put in the words: Material & Spiritual Evolution.

“The really important thing is the knowledge of God’s plan for men. For God has a plan, and that plan is evolution. When once a man has seen that and really knows it, he cannot help working for it and making himself one with it, because it is so glorious, so beautiful, so, because he knows, he is on God’s side, standing for good and resisting evil, working for evolution and not for selfishness.” - Krishnamurti

White Brotherhood master Omraam Mikhael Aivanhov described it, saying “the law of life is evolution, that is, development all the way to perfection.”

“No purely spiritual Buddhi (Divine Soul) can have an independent (conscious) existence before the spark which issued from the pure Essence of the … OVER-SOUL  has: (a) passed through every elemental form of the phenomenal world of that Manvantara [round of life], and (b) acquired individuality, first by natural impulse, and then by self-induced and self-devised efforts (checked by its Karma), thus ascending through all the degrees of intelligence, from the lowest to the highest Manas, from mineral and plant, up to the holiest archangel (Dhyani-Buddhas).

If a tree understood the Law of Cosmic Love, it would gradually be transformed into an animal; and if the animal applied Cosmic Love, it would be transformed into a human being and the human being – into an angel.

So all is evolution, but not just physical evolution, as Darwin suspected, but spiritual evolution as well.
