Emails to God
Each weekday I transpose and share the whispers and messages God places on my heart in the form of “Emails to God”.
Beginning Anew…
Dear Lord; Today, I’m focusing my prayers on new beginnings. This has been a tumultuous year for myself as well as many others, but with every ending there is always the opportunity to reinvent and begin anew. Please lighten the Spirit and focus the resolve of all those struggling to find that starting point, and help guide them to a new Glory. Amen. ~Phather Phil
read moreIt’s All About Balance…
Dear Lord; After much soul searching and thought, I’ve come to the conclusion that Life is all about balance. You gave us free will for a reason; to find our path to that balance point where our lives can be helpful and meaningful and we can serve your Grand Purpose. Please help us find that balance in our lives, and to use that stability to become positive forces in the world. Amen. ~Phather Phil
read morePrayers for Aidan…
Dear Lord; This morning my prayers go out for my Son Aidan as he fights what appears to be a nasty sinus infection. Please give him peace and comfort to let his mind and body rest, and send your healing energy that he may feel better quickly. Amen. ~Phather Phil
read moreA Prayer for Friends…
Dear Lord; First off, I want to thank you for a wonderful weekend. It was exactly the de-stressing that Shannon and I needed. This morning my prayers are focused on some good friends who are going through a difficult time. Please let them feel Your Presence, and be comforted by the Protection and Peace of your Embrace. Amen. ~Phather Phil
read moreA Blessed Celebration…
Dear Lord; Today, my thoughts and Prayers are focused on two good friends who are celebrating their 16th Wedding Anniversary; Adam and Anita Brahosky. You have indeed Blessed them with a Loving Union, and a wonderful Family. Please continue to keep them in your Heavenly Embrace, and Grace them with continued happiness for years to come. Amen. ~Phather Phil
read moreA Prayer for Inspiration…
Dear Lord; I have ultimate Faith in your Plan, but to limited beings such as we are it can be frustrating to not know how all the pieces fit. Seeing so much hatred, sickness, pain and suffering in the world, even the most devout can have moments of doubt. This morning I pray for your guidance in those moments, and for the inspiration to see the light at the end of the tunnel. Amen. ~Phather Phil
read moreInspiration from Zen…
Dear Lord; As you’re very aware, the last couple months have been extremely difficult for me, as well as many people close to me. It seemed as one problem cleared, three more jumped up to take it’s place. While seeking inspiration this morning I was reminded of a Zen Proverb; “The obstacle is the path.” Thank you for lighting our way, and guiding us along the path. Amen ~Phather Phil
read moreYou’ll Never Walk Alone…
Dear Lord; I find it fascinating that in this heavily populated world, many people feel very much alone. I’ll admit it, I have upon occasion as well. In reality of course, I’m nothing of the kind. I have a wonderful Family, amazing Friends and above it all I have an ever-growing relationship with You. Thank you for those Blessings, and for your constant Companionship. Amen. ~Phather Phil
read moreA Calm to the Storm…
Dear Lord; As we begin this week, I want to send my prayers out for those living with fear and uncertainty in their lives. With all the craziness we see in the world today, it’s very easy to let the anxieties and fears overwhelm us and cause us doubt and pain. Please let us all feel the comfort of your Grace, and be encouraged by our Faith that you are present in our lives. Amen. ~Phather Phil
read moreStill in my Thoughts…
Dear Lord; My prayers continue this morning for my Brother and his family during his illness. I have been heartened through this trial by the vast outpouring of love shown by family, friends and even extended friends who may have never met any of us. With all of the discord and strife in the world today, it’s wonderful to see your love binding us together in times of need. Amen. ~Phather Phil
