Leadership Prayers Novels & Stories

Binitawan ko ang damit niya bigla nang humarap si Mama. Kinuha niya ang pinggang malapit sa akin at muntik pang madikit ang pisngi niya sa labi ko, mabuti na lang mabilis ang reflexes ko at nakaiwas. “Caleb, ikaw na ang maglead ng prayer,” ang utos ni Papa pagkaupo. Pinikit ko ang mata at pinagsalikop ang mga kamay. “Lord God, Heavenly Father, bless us and these Thy/Your gifts which we receive from Thy bountiful goodness. Through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.”

Sabay isang halik sa ulo niya ng aking ibinigay. Nang kumpleto na kami sa lamesa, pinaupo ko na si Christian sa kanyang sariling upuan at nag hawak kamay kaming lahat upang mag bigay ng blessing prayer for the food that we're about to receive. Jim always lead the prayer, at tuwa naman ako dahil sa aming bahay matagal tagal na rin akong hindi na lead ng prayer sa hapag kainan.

"THIS honorable court of the Supreme Trial Court, Branch 3 with the Honorable Judge Clev Ramiscal is now in session." The clerk first remark. "All rise. Let's pray. As our Supreme Judge, Almighty God, we stand in your holy presence. We humbly beseech you to bless and inspire us so that our thoughts, words, and actions are in accordance with your will. Enlighten our minds, strengthen our spirits, and fill our hearts with fraternal love, wisdom, and understanding, so that we may be effective conduits of truth, justice, and peace. Guide us today in the path of righteousness for the fulfillment of your greater glory. Amen."

I roamed my sight and everyone looked like they were holding their laughter. “Lord Almighty, thank you for gathering everyone today. We come before you to praise your name, your holiness, your mercy and compassion. Thank you for the food and blessings you have showered us. May you bless these foods we’re about to eat. May it cleanse our intentions, our mind, heart, body and soul. May you bless those who prepared these foods and bless each one of us.” Anastasia prayed.

Silang tatlo na ang naghanda ng lamesa at kakain na kami. “Who will lead the prayer?” Tanong ko sa kanila. “Me mommy!” Sabi ni Aiden kay tumango na ako at nagdasal na kami. “Our dear Heavenly Father, we thank thee for this food. Feed our souls on the bread of life and help us to do our part in kind words and loving deeds. We ask in Jesus' name. Amen.” “Sige na kain na tayo.” Sabi ni Mama at kumain na kami. Syempre sinusubuan ko ang dalawa kapag ako ang kasama nila mas gusto nila na nagpapasubo saakin. Syempre alam ko na paglalambing nila saakin yun.

Tila nafreeze pa sa pagkuha ng pagkain ang iba ng magsimula ang kanyang pagdarasal. "Heavenly Father, we thank you for the food before us, for the hands that prepared it, and for your abundant provision. Bless this meal, nourish our bodies, and strengthen our spirits. May our conversation be filled with love and gratitude. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."

Sanay kasi siya na siya ang nagdadasal tuwing sabay kami kumain, but this time I want to lead the prayer for us. “Thank you, our Father, for the blessings you have given us today. Maraming salamat po na ligtas po naming nakasama sa hapag na ito ang isa’t isa, and may the foods You have given us today provide the nourishment we will need in our lives, Father. Thank you, Lord, for letting me have this precious dinner date with Aliyah…” saglit akong huminto at tiningnan ang nakapikit na si Aliyah. “May your grace be with her always, Father. In Jesus' name we pray, Amen.”

Hindi ako nag-iisa. "Okay, son. Let's pray." Si Drix ang nagsimula ng prayer. Umiiyak ako habang pinapakingan ang dasal niya. He is so pure. Nang masabi niya ang lahat ng gusto niya, si Hendrix naman. "Thank you, God. I wouldn't miss this chance that you gave me. Tutuparin ko lahat ng pangako at pinangarap ko para sa aming dalawa. Continue to bless our small family."

Nang mabigyan na sila ng mga Pagkain ay kanya kanya silang pwesto ng pagupo. "Kate, Ikaw ang maglead ng Prayer." Talagang alam na alam na ni Rare Ang mga pangalan ng bata kaya mas lalo akong humahanga sakanya. "Ok po! Dear God marami pong salamat sa biyayang ipinagkaloob nyo lagi saamin, Maraming salamat po at ipinadala nyo sina Kuya Rare and Ate Atarah dito. Sana po ilayo n'yo kami sa kapahamak, sakit, at disgrasya. Gabayan n'yo rin ho kami sa lahat Ng pagkakataon 'yun lamang po at Maraming salamat. Amen!"ang cute ng accent niya.

naririnig namin mula sa labas. "Let us begin this celebration with a prayer. Let us all stand, bow down our heads and put ourselves in the presence of God. In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, Amen. Heavenly Father, Love has been your richest and greatest gift to this world.
