“God of hope.”

“God of itself is nothing, and the Nothing of itself is nothing. In the absolute, without the world's existence as a plurality, God equals nothingness, and therefore the whole Absolute is nothing. The world is the Exit of the Absolute through God into nothingness and, in that way, into existence. The primordial essence in this manner becomes existence. Once the Being (God) and the Nonbeing (nothing) are united, neither one is nothing anymore. In this way, not only does the Absolute save itself, but it also saves the Being and the Nonbeing. This Nonbeing (nothing) is not nothing anymore but becomes something equally crucial as the Being itself.”

“God of our fathers,
you chose Abraham and his descendants

to genuine brotherhood
with the people of the Covenant.”
“God of our life, there are days when the burdens we carry chafe our shoulders and weigh us down; when the road seems dreary and endless, the skies gray and threatening; when our lives have no music in them, and our hearts are lonely, and our souls have lost their courage. Flood the path with light, run our eyes to where the skies are full of promise; tune our hearts to brave music; give us the sense of comradeship with heroes and saints of every age; and so quicken our spirits that we may be able to encourage the souls of all who journey with us on the road of life, to your honor and glory.”
“God of peace,

in the whirlwind of my pain.

“God of The Blue Rock (Sonnet)
God of the gaps cannot
be God of the world,
and God of the world should not
be abused as god of the gaps.
As puny apes on an insignificant blue rock
in a tiny backwater of the galaxy, we know
nothing about the origin of the universe,
but I can tell you one thing for a fact of
earth biology, it has nothing to do with the
anthropomorphic god of all the scriptures.
If all it takes is a couple of burning bushes,
magic tricks and fairytales to quench your
quest for truth, you have neither the brain,
nor the backbone, or the heart to explore truth.
Fairytales provide nourishment for the mind,
but only as tales of fantasy, not of truth.
Myths are crucial part of the social fabric, but
they must never become the backbone of society.”

“God often moves you away from certain people and situations to prepare you for His blessings. This separation is essential for His blessings to flow into your life. To fully receive God's work within you, certain places, people, and energies must be removed. If you feel delayed in reaching your potential, consider whether you need to distance yourself from certain environments or individuals. Sometimes, it is only after making these changes that you can truly witness His miracles. Sometimes, God removes you from your current employment, relationships, and sources of support because what He is preparing for you is far bigger and greater than you can imagine. This separation is essential for His grand plan to unfold in your life, allowing you to receive blessings beyond what you once considered significant.”

“God often uses failure to make us useful. When Jesus called the disciples, He did not go out and find the most qualified and successful people. He found the most willing, and He found them in the workplace. He found a fisherman, a tax collector, and a farmer. The Hebrews knew that failure was a part of maturing in God. The Greeks used failure as a reason for disqualification. Sadly, in the Church, we often treat one another in this way. This is not God's way. We need to understand that failing does not make us failures. It makes us experienced. It makes us more prepared to be useful in God's Kingdom -- if we have learned from it. And that is the most important ingredient for what God wants in His children.”
