A garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness...

All of us here and millions around the world are overwhelmed by a spirit of heaviness. It's hard to see the world the same way when someone who has been indelibly etched into our spirits and souls as Prince has, returns to Father Source Creator so unexpectedly. Nonetheless, we have much to be thankful for. We got to witness Prince, and share the earth with him at the same time. So amazing.

Isaiah 61:3 in the Bible mentions God giving to his people a garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness. For those who believe in God, and are familiar with the way the spirit world works, heaviness cannot abide where praise lives.

To that end, to lift my spirit, and the spirits of those around me, I thought it would be a good idea for those of us who believe in God to begin giving thanks and praise for what Prince has meant to us individually, collectively, and even globally. If you don't believe in God, and have nothing to add, that's okay too.

I'll start, and if I'm the only holy roller out here, so be it. lol.

I praise you God for the life of Prince Rogers Nelson.

I praise you God for the creativity, love, and generosity that you abundantly poured into him.

I praise you God for the music that You gave him to share with the world.

I praise you God for ears to hear this music, and the resources and the ability to experience it live and in recorded formats.

I praise you God for showing the world, through Prince that music doesn't have a color or an ethnicity.

I praise you God that from Prince's example, many of us learned that it's okay to 'be' unapologetically who You created us to be.

I praise you God for sharing an expression of Your love, Your limitless creativity, and Your artistry through Prince.

Most of all, I praise you, because you alone are God, and you are worthy of praise, love, and adoration.

Amen.

Love4oneanother

Thank You Father that your grace allows us to rest in your son Christ Jesus.

We are so grateful that Prince knew you, and rested in you in life as he is with you now for eternity.

Thank you for giving our brother in Christ the fruit of your Spirit [Love, Joy, Peace, Forbearance, Kindness, Goodness, Faithfulness,Gentleness and Self-control] so abundently.

Although none of are perfect and none are able to maintain under our own strength, Thank you Father that whatever he did he did with all his heart as he knew he was working for you.

Thank you Father that he was able to share with all, and praise you on a public stage when it wasn't cool to do so.

Most importantly Father, thank you that through Prince those who may have never known you, came to know you and your love for themselves.
