Honoring Prince

written by Ellen Jean Barrier

The work Prince left behind, and the good deeds that he did for others, will long live in the hearts of those who loved him. His great contributions as an artist in the Music Industry will never be forgotten.

As an artist, I am appreciative of the contributions each artist makes to the world. I have watched Prince as an entertainer over the years and observed his artistic skills. His voice and ability to use his vocals is amazing. I am a fan of the guitar. His guitar skills were magnificent! I enjoyed his performances. His vocals were God-given and he used them to help others. His skills were achieved through his hard work and developed with his ability to use his wisdom to place them in his music, and performances that allowed him to be a great artist, who loved the work he did.

During an interview he did with a talk-show host, I observed how he answered the questions asked to him, and found him to be highly intelligent. He was a spiritual person, who was also, inspirational.

When I heard the news of Prince untimely death, it was shocking. I feel this is my tribute to a great artist. I pray God will give his family and fans strength to release him in His hands, and thank God for the great things he allowed Prince to accomplish, and to bless others through his talent.

When Prayer Requests and Thanksgiving is Made to God

In times of distress, and stressful situations, when burdens become heavy, and difficult to carry, due to heartaches, loss, hopelessness, and such things that bring pain and sorrows, we search for comfort through prayers. Our friends and love ones are there to offer their support that gives us strength to move forward.

Songs of praise with prayers and thanksgiving are made to God on our behalf; asking him to intervene and give us his blessings of grace and mercy, and guide us through the storm.

In times of sickness, we pray for healing.

In times of financial loss, we pray for prosperity.

In times of losses, we ask God to restore.

We Pray to God in our times of need, because we believe he answers prayer.

Inspirational Music

                                                                       My Father's Praise by Ellen J. Barrier

                                         This is an inspirational piece of music I composed in honor of my father.

Inspirational music is comforting and enjoyable to play, and to listen to. It relaxes the mind, and creates a peaceful atmosphere. The gentle feeling inspirational music brings into the soul can also motivate the listener, to feel a sense of hope. The sweet melodies and harmony of inspirational music are rewarding to both the listener, and the composer.

Love is The Greatest Emotion

Love is expressed.
Happiness is to be equally loved. I Love You! is expressed in different ways.
Love is expressed in music, words, and in many other ways, to let those who are special to us know we love them.

The "Down" Game

Ellen J. Barrier

There is a game in life, called “Down.”  If you play it, you will lose.

I don’t play the “Down” game. 

When I am told, I will lose, I say, I will win!

When I am told I can’t succeed, I say, I will.  

If I am told to stop! I proceed, I persevere!

When I am confronted with difficulties, I endure.

I won’t play this game of control!

I don't back down, and I don't stand down.

I won’t bow down, for anyone.

I won’t play the “Down” game!

I am prepared to win, and not for shame.

*The way out of any bad situation is to never give up.

__ Ellen J. Barrier

"The Down Game"

Peace is Never Accomplished by Holding Grudges

“The weak can never forgive. Forgiveness is the attribute of the strong.” 

~ Mahatma Gandhi

Holding a grudge, is malice, it weakens an individual, and disallows room to forgive.  It preys on the mind of such an individual and grows as a terminal disease, until it consumes that individual’s entire body, mind and soul.  These individuals are unable to think soberly because they are consumed with bitterness, anger, wrath, and evil thoughts of plans to destroy someone else. This is the behavior that prevents us from having peace with our neighbors. 

Grudge: a feeling of deep-seated resentment or ill will; syn. malice 
Malice: desire to see another suffer, to cause pain, injury, or distress to another.   
*Webster's New Collegiate Dictionary

 "I Want to Feel Your Power Today" is a cry to God, when one is in desperate need to hear from him. I have been in desperate need to hear from God, many times. I was sitting at my keyboard, one day, and needing very much to hear from him. At the time I was singing this song, I was expressing my emotions to God. I had no words written. I wrote the words after recording the song, when I decided to share it public. Those who have heard this song, testifies that it "Relaxed and calmed" them. My call to God was heard. He is a great and awesome God!

The Art of Life

      The road to freedom is full of thorns, and fire, yet happy is he follows it!
__Aminu Kano 

                                       
From: Psalm 91:11, 16

For he (God) shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways.
With long life will I (God) satisfy him, and shew him my salvation.

Regardless, of how dark life may appear when facing challenges, and other difficulties, that comes our way; love and spiritual strength, shines a glorious light into our lives that radiates peace within us. Therein, we are blessed as stated, “What hurts you, blesses you."

Another Chance by Singer and Songwriter Ellen J. Barrier

God has given each of us another chance.

It is not because of our age, or who we are, nor where we live.

Because of God’s precious love, he has extended his grace to us.

The purpose is to improve our behavior toward God:

and toward our sisters and brothers regardless, of their age, or who they are, nor where they live.

__ Ellen J. Barrier

Singer and Songwriter: Ellen J. Barrier

Lyrics are written by Singer and Songwriter Ellen J. Barrier

As I stand, looking out over the creation of this world, I can see God's glory.
In everything I see, I see the beauty of his glory, that lets me know, he's given me another chance.

He's given me another chance, and I know that his love is all around me, cause I truly believe that he loves me.
In everything I do, his blessings are all around me, that lets me know that God loves me.

God gives chances to one and all, cause he gave me so many chances, that lets me know that he loves me.

Because in everything that I do, his blessings are all around me, that lets me know that God loves me.

I don't know what tomorrow will bring. It may bring sun, maybe rain for me, still I know that God has given me another chance, and I know that he loves me.
Because in everything that I do, his blessings are all around me, that lets me know that God loves me.

As I move ahead, I don't know what I'll face, but, that's alright, cause I know that God truly loves me.
He's given me another chance, and I know that he loves me.
Because in everything that I do, his blessings are all around me.
That lets me know that, God loves me.

These are the Moments in Everyone's Life

ISBN: 978-0-9794043-2-0

There comes a  moment in time in the life of everyone, that something will occur that is too much of a burden to carry. These are the moments when we seek a power that is beyond what any human can provide. Regardless of who we are, or what status we hold, no one is exempt.

In times of a serious sickness, tragedy or loss, we each has a desire and need to be comforted in our whole being, in a way which medicine cannot accomplish. And neither can it be provided by any physical means.

The spiritual being, understands that it has a creator. Therefore, in times of distress, it automatic seeks the comfort of its creator. In the book of Job, it is stated by the writer himself, who was terminally ill, "The spirit of God hath made me, and the breath of the Almighty hath given me life." In his moment of desperation, his deepest desire was to hear from God. And he sought him for comfort.

The Words of Job:
Even today is my complaint bitter, my stroke is heavier than my groaning.
Oh that I knew where I might find him! that I might come even to his seat!
I would order my cause before him, and fill my mouth with arguments.
I would know the words which he would answer me, and understand what he would say to me.

Will he plead against me with his great Power?
No, but he would put strength in me.

Source: Job 23:2-6 (King James Version)

An S.O.S Call to God (song)

Ellen J. Barrier

From the Album: Another Chance
(An S.O.S Call to God)

Sometimes life seems so unfair.
There are times we ask, Why?
Lord, I do know that your love is forever.
So, when you seem so all alone_
Just remember, that God answers prayer.

The answer lies in your heart, and it lies within your soul.
So, whenever you feel the need to ask, Why?
Just remember, that God answers prayer.

Our God, answers prayer, and he knows your every need.
He understands your feelings, and he knows all your needs.
So, whenever you feel_
feel like giving up sometimes,
and you feel like your back is against the wall, there's just no way out.

Just remember, our God answers prayer, and he knows your every need.
He understands your feelings, and he knows all your needs.

The answer lies in your heart, and it lies within your soul.
So, whenever you feel the need to ask, Why?
Just remember, God answers prayer.

Prayer in Times of Distress

“When all hope is gone and your back is against the wall, ‘Pray.’

Ask God to guide you and he will take good care of you.”

― Ellen J. Barrier

And when he was in affliction, he besought the LORD his God, and humbled himself greatly before the God of his fathers, and prayed unto him: and he was entreated of him, and heard his supplication, and brought him again to Jerusalem into his kingdom. Then Manasseh knew that the LORD he was God. 11 Chronicles 33:12, 13

Story:

 Manasseh was the ruler of Jerusalem for fifty-five years. During his range he was described as one who caused the people to commit acts that were displeasing to God. Therefore, he and those who followed his leadership had been warned to correct their errors. And because of his disobedience, it was said “Wherefore the LORD brought upon them the captains of the host of the king of Assyria, which took Manasseh among the thorns, and bound him with fetters, and carried him into Babylon.” 11 Chronicles 33:11

My Thoughts:

In times of afflictions, whether, they are health related, or a condition whereby one feels they are imprisoned, they seek help.  Manasseh, did as many others do, he turned to the God who his ancestors trusted for help. He received help from God, and became a better leader. He corrected many of his wrongdoings. And because of the changes he made in his leadership, the people made some positive changes as well. When leadership is strengthened and governed with righteous behavior, the people are better for it.
