Prayers to My Abba Father God

Prayer is asking, expecting, receiving, and responding based on frequent conversations with our Abba Father God.  We engage in intimate discussions as often as needed to help with the journey through each day.  The prayers included in this book began as songs intended to be recorded for worship.  However, prayer is one way to worship and celebrate the goodness we have received and the corrections to help us grow.  The prayers written in this book are categorized into three themes: 1) gratitude, 2) wandering, and 3) being still.  A life filled with gratitude demonstrates being content with the gifts received in life, no matter how small.  We wonder physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually.  Think of the Israelites in the Old Testament, wandering the desert for 40 years.  According to historical facts, the journey should have only taken 11 days to reach the promised land from Egypt to Canaan. When we take time to be still, it acknowledges the goodness of being in God’s rest. 

The book of Psalms contains many songs of praise that many people read daily for guidance. I invite you to read these prayers to help you create your prayers. God loves creative people! That is why God set aside the Levites as a unique group of people responsible for music. I invite musicians to take these words, add melodies, make new chord changes, and share them with the world.
