A BIKER'S PRAYER

2007-01-30T06:40:00.000-05:00

MAY THE SUN RISE IN FRONT OF ME
MAY THE RAIN FALL BEHIND ME
AND THE WIND FOLLOW ME
MAY THE ANGELS OF MY BROTHERS AND SISTERS
WHO HAVE GONE BEFORE ME
GUARD MY TRAVELS
FOR THEY KNOW THE PERILS
OF THE ROAD AHEAD OF ME
KEEP ME SAFE THROUGH THE ROUGH CITY STREETS
ON MY WAY TO THE LAND OF SWIRLING TURNS
AND ROLLING HILLS
LET THE COLOURS OF FALL KEEP ME WARM
LET THE EAGLE GUIDE ME TO THE MOUNTAINTOPS
LET THE MOONS LIGHT GUIDE ME
THROUGH THE NIGHT
MAY MY TIRES NOT FAIL ME
NOR MY ENGINE GROW OLD
MAY MY BIKE DRAW LIFE
FROM THE STREAMS I PASS
KEEP MY SEAT SOFT AND MY MIND SHARP
LET THE AIR OF SPRING BREATHE LIFE
INTO MY SOUL
TO JOURNEY TO ANOTHER ADVENTURE
BESIDES MY BROTHERS AND SISTERS

Dear Lord

Dear Lord, I thank You for this day. I thank You for my being able to see and to hear this morning. I'm blessed because You are a forgiving God and an understanding God. You have done so much for me and You keep on blessing me. Forgive me this day for everything I have done, said, or thought that was not pleasing to you.
I ask now for Your forgiveness. Please keep me safe from all danger and harm. Help me to start this day with a new attitude and plenty of gratitude. Let me make the best of each and every day to clear my mind so that I can hear from You. Please broaden my mind that I can accept all things. Let me not whine and whimper over things I have no control over.
And it's the best response when I'm pushed beyond my limits. I know that when I can't pray, You listen to my heart. Continue to use me to do Your will. Continue to bless me that I may be a blessing to others. Keep me strong that I may help the weak... Keep me uplifted that I may have words of encouragement for others. I pray for those that are lost and can't find their way. I pray for those that are misjudged and misunderstood. I pray for those who don't know You intimately. I pray for those that will delete this without sharing it with others. I pray for those that don't believe.
But I thank you that I believe. I believe that God changes people and God changes things. I pray for all my sisters and brothers. For each and every family member in their households. I pray for peace, love,and joy in their homes that they are out of debt and all their needs are met. I pray that every eye that reads this knows there is no problem, circumstance, or situation greater than God. Every battle is in Your hands for You to fight. I pray that these words be received into the hearts of every eye that sees it.
God I love you and I need you, come into my heart, please.

Let it rain,,, some other night.

As we go out on our ride,
We pray the Lord rides by our side,
Keep us safe and in your sight,
And let it rain some other night.

Lord, thank you,,,,,

"Lord, thank you for the open air,
The feel of wind blowing through our hair,
Just us alone upon our bikes,
The thrill of freedom is what we like.
To wind through country unexplored,
Not knowing what we'll see next, Lord.

That's what we seek when oft we ride.
We're thankful that you're by our side.
If we should ride till morning's light
Please keep us safe through the night,
And when we come to journeys end,
It's you we'll thank- protector, friend."

May your tires,,,,

2005-11-11T09:42:00.000-05:00

May your tires tread on pavement
May your ferring cut the breeze
May your headlight keep on shining
May your bike avoid all trees.

May you ride forever safely,
both in sunshine and in showers,
May you ride forever freely
and enjoy this land of ours.
