Wave upon wave of grace
(A Puritan Prayer)
O God of grace,
Teach me to know that grace precedes, accompanies,
and follows my salvation; that it sustains the redeemed
soul, that not one link of its chain can ever break!
From Calvary's cross, wave upon wave of grace . . .
reaches me,
deals with my sin,
washes me clean,
renews my heart,
strengthens my will,
draws out my affection,
kindles a flame in my soul,
rules throughout my inner man,
consecrates my every thought, word, work,
teaches me Your immeasurable love.
How great are my privileges in Christ Jesus!
Without Him I stand far off, a stranger, an outcast.
In Him I draw near and touch His kingly scepter!
Without Him I dare not lift up my guilty eyes.
In Him I gaze upon my Father-God and friend!
Without Him I hide my lips in trembling shame.
In Him I open my mouth in petition and praise!
Without Him all is wrath and consuming fire.
In Him is all love, and the repose of my soul!
Without Him is gaping hell below me, and eternal anguish.
In Him its gates are barred to me by His precious blood!
Without Him darkness spreads its horrors before me.
In Him an eternity of glory is my boundless horizon!
Without Him all within me is terror and dismay. In
Him every accusation is charmed into joy and peace!
Praise be to You for grace, and for
the unspeakable gift of Jesus!
"By the grace of God I am what I am!" 1 Cor. 15:10
Nepal is a country where religious activities to a large extent take place outdoors in busy public places.
And everybody has a prayer
Half way between dream and desire
In inner corners proving secret
Where infinity lives
Of its very painful beauty:
One.
A ognuno la sua preghiera
A metà tra sogno e desiderio
In angoli interni segreti al mondo
Dove l'infinito vive
Della sua stessa dolorosa bellezza:
Un uno unico.

Preghiera induista sentita, su quella magica soglia tra crepuscolo e buio, per chi ha qualcosa da desiderare e sognare. E chiedere.

A much-felt hindu prayer, on the very treshold between dusk and dark, for those who have something to desire and dream of. And ask for.
My option hands from Angelregion arrived today and they are so wonderful~~ ^o^ I adore option hands. Unfortunately, I only ordered this one pair in the color that turned out to match my white skin girls best. Will have to do another order~ ;P
Was trying to focus on the incense and the gentlemen came forth with his incense as he offered his prayers
A prayer wheel is a cylindrical wheel that rotates around a vertical axis. On the outside of the cylinder, a prayer or mantra is always written. According to Tibetan Buddhism, spinning a prayer wheel has the same effect as reciting the corresponding prayers or mantras. The wheel must be turned clockwise, otherwise the inscription will be read backwards.
When someone starts spinning it, they should recite the inscription. It must be recited again when they finish spinning. A commonly used inscription is the mantra 'Om mani padme hum'.
Two villagers pray at the church of Santiago Apostol, They wear typical costumes of their people. The altarpiece dating from the seventeenth century.
"Prayer is not asking. It is a longing of the soul. It is daily admission of one's weakness. It is better in prayer to have a heart without words than words without a heart."
~ Mahatma Gandhi

A prayer wheel is a cylindrical "wheel" on a spindle made from metal, wood, stone, leather or coarse cotton. Traditionally, the mantra Om Mani Padme Hum is written in Sanskrit on the outside of the wheel. Also sometimes depicted are the 8 auspicious symbols Ashtamangala. According to the Tibetan Buddhist tradition spinning such a wheel will have much the same meritorious effect as orally reciting the prayers.

-A silent prayer is all it takes...
a one to one communication is what it takes......
than why we need so many mediators between god and a man. Why we need to organise the religen. Why not left it to men's private space. Now so many people are being killed in the name of God. It's high time to leave the god and man alone.

Under a full moon on top of Higger Tor, as the sun made it's final descent, three young Muslim men stand upon a huge boulder looking towards the moon.
One of them had missed last prayers at the local mosque, so with his footwear removed kneeling in the direction of the Mecca he began his prayers under the light of the moon and the fading sunlight as his two friends looked on.
What a perfect way to end a day. :-)
Prayer wheels at the national memorial chörten (stupa) in Thimpu, Bhutan. Taken after dusk, my guide (a guide and driver is mandatory for all non-Indian foreign visitors to Bhutan) spun the wheels just before I took the photo. The fee for the guide and driver is included in the extortionate visa price to visit the land of gross national happiness. Tuesday, when this photo was taken is "Pedestrian Day" every week in Thimpu, when all private vehicles are banned from entering the city center, vehicles carrying tourists are exempt. Locals are encouraged (no,... forced) to walk or bicycle to work that day, when gross national happiness may decline a little bit.

Prayer is when you talk to God;
meditation is when you listen to God.

I almost missed this little guy on my morning me time walk...
Luckily he just sat there in prayer.
Boudhnath Stupa is one of the largest in the world.It is located just outside the formal boundaries of Kathmandu, Nepal. This shot was taken the day before Tibetan New Year. Brand new prayer flags were put up in honour of the New Year.
This trip was arranged by Razzu Tuladha of Samsara Journeys based in Kathmandu, Nepal.
