Desiderata
Go placidly amid the noise and haste,
and remember what peace there may be in silence.
As far as possible without surrender
be on good terms with all persons.
Speak your truth quietly and clearly;
and listen to others,
even the dull and the ignorant;
they too have their story.
Avoid loud and aggressive persons,
they are vexations to the spirit.
If you compare yourself with others,
you may become vain and bitter;
for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself.
Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans.
Keep interested in your own career, however humble;
it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time.
Exercise caution in your business affairs;
for the world is full of trickery.
But let this not blind you to what virtue there is;
many persons strive for high ideals;
and everywhere life is full of heroism.
Be yourself.
Especially, do not feign affection.
Neither be cynical about love;
for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment
it is as perennial as the grass.
Take kindly the counsel of the years,
gracefully surrendering the things of youth.
Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune.
But do not distress yourself with dark imaginings.
Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness.
Beyond a wholesome discipline,
be gentle with yourself.
You are a child of the universe,
no less than the trees and the stars;
you have a right to be here.
And whether or not it is clear to you,
no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.
Therefore be at peace with God,
whatever you conceive Him to be,
and whatever your labors and aspirations,
in the noisy confusion of life keep peace with your soul.
With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams,
it is still a beautiful world.
Be cheerful.
Strive to be happy.

The Bible says that a man and woman coming together is a
GREAT MYSTERY. There are indeed spiritual forces at work, we call the masculine, and feminine, both of which our spirit is made of.
Satan tries to keep us all divided. With all kinds of foolish
egotistical nonsense. People are trying to find this balance in
external ways. Dressing up, acting out, sexual experimentation.
But it has to be done within. In how we treat one another.
I feel the Serenity Prayer is an excellent way to do this.
"God, grant me the serenity, to accept the things I cannot
change. The courage to change the things I can. And the
wisdom to know the difference."
Remember, serenity is not happy or sad. It is peaceful,
contented, (satisfied with what we have). Knowing this is just
a temporary existence for our spirit. So we don't have to keep
sweating it!

Memorare O piissima Virgo Maria non esse auditum a saeculo quemquam ad tua correntem praesidia tua implorantem auxilia tua petentem suffragia esse derelictum.
Ego tali animatus confidentia a te Virgo virginum curro ad te venio, coram te gemens peccator assisto noli Mater Verbi verba mea despicies sed audi propitus et exaudi. Amen

Hello my brother. I want you to first accept Jesus Christ as your lord,say this: dear lord Jesus,i come to you today ,accept me the way i am because i accept you as the Lord,the savior and the master of my life from this point on. I now have the Life of God in me and i am walking in the newness of life in jesus name.
If you said that prayer,you are now Born again,CONGRATULATIONS.
The next step is for you to receive the Holy spirit and start speaking in tongues. Speaking in tongues activates your human spirit and you receive the ability to communicate mysteries to God and his angels. Just say this:
Sweet Holy Spirit, come into my life and fill me up. I receive the ability to speak in tongues as you give me utterance and from today my life will never be the same in Jesus name.
RECEIVE THE HOLY SPIRIT INTO YOUR SPIRIT AND START SPEAKING IN TONGUES.
God bless you.

I thank you that I can walk with you day after day no matter what and you still love me for me. I thank you for all the promises that you have given me. I thank you that life and death are in the power of the tongue and therefore I choose to speak life with every breath. My words form my world. So I say that I am prosperous in health and in spirit and in my soul. I am prosperous in wisdom and love and peace. I thank you Lord that your mercies are new every morning so today I come to you with a fresh start in life. I repent now for any doubts in my heart of who you really are and i trust you to renew my mind and my heart. i thank you for the Holy Spirit which is my teacher and councelor and i can go to Him when ever I want to. As I open your word today Lord Jesus teach me something new. Let the teachings of your prophets and apostles come alive for me today. Not that I should be puffed up with knowledge but for understanding and wisdom and guidance. I love you so much Lord Jesus.I thank you for setting me free from this world that has so much confusion in it and I thank you that as long as I stay pressed in to your word I can stay strong and live right and be a witness and a light to all who are in darkness. For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Jesus Christ. I praise your name and I thank youfor a renewed spirit which causes me to be strong in you. In your Precious name I pray, Amen.

Dearest Jehovah......Please let your name be sanctified. Please help as many people as possible repent before your judgments begin. Please look into my heart and kidneys and refine me, correct me, but not in your anger. Please have mercy on me and give me a new heart, one of flesh, not stone.
Teach me how to worship you with all my heart, mind, soul, and strength. Help me search for you, so that I may find you. I confess all my sins-------. Thank you for having mercy on your servant.
Show me how to do your will and bring you glory, from now to eternity..and please do deliver us from temptaion...for the spirit is eager and the flesh is weak...in Jesus name...Amen
