A Prayer of Hope... a psalm of peace, a vision of liberty, Grace, and God's eternal promise...
If we hope in this world alone, we have no hope... For we are not of this world. We call a higher domain our abode... a place where shadows may not go and hope becomes the substance of things unseen... There men live in the eternal light of God's Love... in hope revealed.. Here we find the peace others only dream of ... an existence in the divine wind, and will of our Heavenly Father.
In this place of heavenly hope, storms are punctuated with the colors of storied rainbows, and the blessings of God, renewing our hope with the boundless rays of the eternal Son... Creations God. our eternal benefactor.... O' that the whole of creation would come to know Christ... for in Him, we have our home... a House made without hands. A vision crafted in our heart revealed without the aid of the human eye... our hope is eternal.
In Hope, the bards of mankind resound with praise and borrow time... as their voices sing of liberty in a heavenly tongue... a most glorious song... For in this place of the soul, our voice shall be heard... lifted, on high, with the wings of glory, their joyous chorus shall signal the coming dawn and the promise of a new and eternal day... a day where every man's hope may find rest in the eternal accord of God's Grace and the Son...
Let us hold hope near and God's promises dear... let us spread the Gospel of Christ in all the world... that every man may have the opportunity to become one with God... one Lord, one baptism, One Faith forever more. Let, the Bard sing of the coming Spring... That, God's Grace rest upon every man's lips, and in every house. That peace and goodwill may reign supreme. Amen.

Some strain at a gnat while swallowing a Camel... I am reminded that it is the little Foxes that destroy the fruit of the vine.
it is not the name of God that saves mankind... it is His love and compassion for His creation. It is FAITH IN God and His Grace and Mercy that save us... How pitiful would it be, if God would condemn most of Christendom because it did not speak or petition their Heavenly Father in Hebrew... or for that matter with the TONGUES OF ANGELS... God's Heavenly Language?
God knows His name in every tongue ... God doesn't refuse His children's cries simply because they address Him in a foreign language. His mercies endure forever and are renewed daily with the risen Son.

"...at death..." No, It is living by, through and for Him, that matters. Agreement with others in FAITH. And learning to LOVE.
"The greatest of these is LOVE." Christ is love, and we are to love others (in life) as He has loved us. Each trial (Job) that He allows us—is also a tribulation, test, and finally, a triumph, in Christ, Who strengthens us. LIFE is the battleground. That is why prayers can sometimes need to be VIOLENT.
"not necessarily what is uttered by our mouth." No, It is the prayer of faith, (in life) coming out of our mouths, that rises to heaven. When it, our prayer, agrees with His Words, we shall have what we say. Mark 11:23-24. Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours. 24 I tell you, you can pray for anything, and if you believe that you've received it, it shall be yours.
As the Col. said, it is the EXERCISE of FAITH that moves mountains into the ocean, raises the dead, casts out demon spirits. That is why the TONGUE is an unruly member, able to turn a ship.
Job 22: 28 (AMP) “You shall ALSO DECIDE AND DECREE a thing and it shall be established for you and the light of God’s favour shall shine upon your ways.”
Psalm 81:10 “I am the LORD thy God who brought thee out of the land of Egypt: OPEN THY MOUTH WIDE and I will fill it.”
Prov. 30:32. "Do not confess that negative thoughts in your mind, rather speak life to every situation around you."
Beautiful spirit, Col. Lovely.
