VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: God's Truth Uplifts Us + PRAYER: Lord, Help Us To Look Beyond ...!

Almighty God's Grace Blesses!
Almighty God's Mercy Saves
AND
Almighty God's Truth Uplifts Us
Removing Us From 
A Life Of Being Sin's Slaves!

Almighty God's Love Encircles!
Almighty God's Faith Gives Our Hearts Rest
AND
Almighty God's Holy Spirit Comforts Us
Giving Us Strength To Do Our Best!


PRAYER:

Oh, Lord
Help Us Not To Despise
Our Bountiful Blessings! 
Help Us Not To Turn Aside
To Things False! 
Help Us To Look Up
And
To See Beyond
The Kinds Of Things
Over Which The Carnal Mind Fawns!
Help Us Your Holy Name To Exalt!


Please, Lord
Heal Our Minds
Our Bodies
Our Spirits
And
Bless Us To Do All
According To Your Will! 

Help Us, Lord
For We Cannot Help Ourselves
Even Though We, Bold
Treat You, Living God Holy
Like The Useless Manmade Figurine
On The Dust-Catcher Display Shelf!


Pity Us, Lord
For You Alone Are Able!
Be Merciful, Lord
For You Alone, Save
And, Please
Let Your Grace Grant Unto Us
One More Opportunity
To Accept
To Bravely Take Secure Hold Of
Your Free Offer Of Sure Salvation
So That In The Fullness Of Time
We May Walk On Zion's Streets
Of Everlasting Gold!


We Love You, Lord!
Please Hear Our Prayer
And
Do For Us
What None But The Holy God
Can Do!
In Jesus Christ's Matchless Name 
We Pray This Prayer Of Faith
And
With Humble Hearts Plead
For It Is On That Living Word
On Which We Daily Feed! 
AMEN.

HAPPY SABBATH! + PRAYER: Lord, Please Bridle My Tongue!











Lord, I Need Inner Resources
When I Feel Put-upon
When The World is Ruffling My Feathers
When Evil is Grinding My Small Toes
And Everywhere I Turn Is A New Foe!

Lord, I Do Not Want To Be The Complainer
But You Are My Lord and My God
So I Am Making Petition
Against My Mortal Enemy, King Fraud!

Please Help Me, Father
For I Am Listing and
Almost Ready To Turn My Flesh Loose
And Ask You To Grant Me Five Minutes
To Tell One or Two People Some Home Truths
BUT
Your Charge To Me
Is to Maintain
A Quiet and Gentle Spirit Always
So I - of Carnal Mind - am Begging You, Lord
Please Do Not Let Me Send The Holy Spirit On
The Proverbial Roman Holiday!

I Love You, Lord, and I Bless You
For Your Constant Blessing on Me!
I am Grateful, Lord, and I am Happy To Know
That You Won't Reject Me When
 I Descend Into A Momentary Round of Folly!

My Actions, Lord, are not Deliberate!
It is just that Turning My Cheek 
Is Really Getting Old
BUT
Because I Desire To Have You as King of My Soul
I am Beseeching, Lord
Please, Won't You of This Poor Life Take Control?!
AMEN.
