Loss, a prayer.

 


Drawing by Greg

When loss seeks to unhinge you

And you are totally bewildered and confused
When you forget to remember who you are 
When the way ahead is unclear.
When the present is far too painful to cope with,
May the Lord come to you and hold YOU,
MAY He comfort you may he console YOU
Bless you with all his gifts.
May the Lord lift your life
May the Lord restore you
So that you can once more see
Your true worth and beauty
May you Shine in the world again
Amen

Praying in the Name of Jesus

 


Praying in the name of Jesus Christ
.

The question perhaps for us is how do we pray in the name of Jesus? 


What does this mean? We must look to the meaning of oneness in order to understand how this can be possible and that is clearly revealed in John17. For Jesus asks that we might be in the Father and the Son in the same way as they are one in each other. This is an incredible request that spans time and space, heaven and earth and all eternity. It is awesome in magnitude and unquantifiable. It is almost beyond understanding. 


Yet this is how we find that we can come to know the Father and the Son and flow in the Spirit, to truly pray in the name of  Jesus Christ. The awe with which we should approach such power then is vast and huge. The magnanimity of such a gift is beyond description. Thus as we come to know the Father and the Son, so we come to the true realisation of our relationship with each and we begin to live and pray in a new way, with new confidence, for we are truly one with them, as they are truly one. How can such prayer then not be answered?

The Pain of Loss, a poem.

 


Your pain, is my pain, is our pain

Your suffering, is my suffering, is our suffering 

Your grief, is my grief, is our grief 

Your loss is forever my loss, is forever our loss. 

Our tears will flow

Till the oceans are full and still they will weep.

This is the amount of honour due to you

To recognise all that you were,

all that you have been,

all that you will ever be to us.

Our tears cannot be assuaged

Your loveliness still echoes here.

Your love remains

And burns in our hearts,

Forever more than a memory.
