Prayer As A Uniting Factor, My November with the Lord
If there is anything that unites every World Religion, including Christianity, it is Prayer. I guess everyone who believes in the existence of God our Creator and the Creator of the Universe does pray. Various individuals and Church groupings use different approaches to unite with God but prayer is always a universal or central link for all. My November with the lord is a set of prayers derived from my daily reflections and meditations. I write down what touches me each day I pray, and I turn back to it on days of dryness. Thus, not every day in my “November with the lord” would have a prayer, for such a day is when I felt empty or dry, and I turned to my written prayers to help me pray. These prayers may also touch you. Just pray with me by reading or listening to the audio. It doesn’t matter if you pray only one at a time or all at the moment or even with a word or phrase that also touches you. Any prayer is important. Let us pray:
Oct 1, 2022, Mt.5 By your grace your blessings are true dear Lord
Loving Father you are blessing the pure in heart with the grace to see you, the merciful with mercy, the mourners with consolation and all the wonderful good things you are promising your friends today. If all these weren’t possible, Lord, you wouldn’t have said it. With you all things are possible. As your meek and weary pilgrim, Lord, help me live the beatitudes. Father I trust in you.Amen
Bless and be merciful to our faithful departed o Lord
Merciful God, my loving Father, today I present and pray to you for all my faithful departed; my dear ones, family, relatives and friends who have gone before us marked with the sign of faith. Be merciful to them and bless them dear Lord. My their souls and all the souls of the faithful departed enter and have everlasting joy and happiness with you in paradise. Father I trust in you. Amen

Nov 5. 2022 Lk 16:14-16 Lord you know my heart
Lord you know my heart and knowing that you know my heart is a wonderful insight you bless me with.
Knowing that you know my heart is a great tool and grace to shape my life. For how can I think or do evil when I cannot hide my thoughts or acts from you, or when you see and know my heart always?
Knowing that you know my heart gives me great confidence for why should I border when I’m misconceived or when I do the best I can and my friends misunderstand?
You are the only one I trust dear Lord, because you know my heart and my ways cannot be hidden from you. You are mine and I am yours. May this insight never escape my being oh Lord. Jesus I trust in you. Amen

Merciful Father, I trust in you. Amen

Nov 10, 2022, Lk 17:33 Not by my power o Lord but by your grace
My Lord and my God, all power belongs to you. You do everything in my life. Not by my power, dear Lord, but because you are powerful and your grace is enough for me. On this bright new day I continue to abandon my life into your hands. May your will be done. Teach me what to do today and the days to come. Jesus I trust in you. Amen

I leave my eyes and ears open to see, hear and understand what you would say to me today and forever. Let my faith in you grow dear Lord. Amen
Nov 15, 2022, Lk 9: 5B You are merciful, Jesus
How merciful you are o Lord. I’m a sinner but you tell me you came for sinners, you see me still as yours and you call me to come. You want to stay with me and be my friend forever. Your behavior amazes me Jesus. What a good and merciful God are you? You are the one I want too, the one I need because you forgive, corrects and console. I love you Jesus. Amen
Nov 17, 2022, Lk 19:41-42 You did it out of love for me Lord
Your word tells me you wept Jesus. Why did you weep Jesus? Was it more than your power, more than you can take? Now I know the deep love you had for him. The wonderful friend you had of him. How lucky were you Lazarus to have a friend who loves you so dearly. Dearest Jesus, I love to be your special friend too. I would not weep over my predicament because you had wept, suffered and died for me. You did it out of love for me, Lord. I love you too Jesus. Amen
Nov 20, 2022, You are my King
Wounded, hung on the cross, spat upon and despised, yes that is my King my Lord and my God. Holy is His name. By his wounds I am healed, by his blood I am saved, He is worthy of praise, worship and adoration. King of kings, Lord of lords, I worship you. May your name be praise on the earth and above the heavens, now and from generation to generation. Amen
Nov 18, 2022 Lk 19: 45-46 Purify me, Lord
