PRAYER: Lord, Help Us To Meet Your Conditions!





Father,
I Love You
And, Yet
It Is So Easy To Be Distracted
By The Minutiae Of Daily Living
And
The Dread Problems Of This World!
Forgive Me, I Beseech You
For Not Making You First
Last
And Always
And Help Me, Lord
To Get My Priorities In Order!


Help Me, Lord
To Take My Eyes Up
From Looking Down At My Feet
And The Path That I Must Tread
And, Please
Cause Me Ever To Look Up
To My Lord Christ
Where My Sure Help
My Certain Salvation
Comes From!


I Need You
For, Lord
Oftentimes The Lights Of And In This Wicked World
Are So Bright That I Blink
And Momentarily Close My Eyes
And Then I Can't
I Don't
See You
And I Become Fearful
And 
Distraction And Drift
Try To Steal Me Away!


Pity Me, Lord
And
Help Me Not To Live Right In My Own Eyes
Nor In The View
That Comes From Trusting 
My Lying Mortal Eyesight!
Please Help Me To Live In The Foundational Faith
Of My Jesus
So That I May Be Saved!


Sometimes, Lord
The Clamor Of This Dying World
Can
And Often Does
Prevent Me From Hearing
The Dear And Lovely Voice! 
I Do Not Will That This Should Be So
And
I Beseech You
In Jesus Christ's Holy Name
To Grant Me Spiritual Ears
So That I May Hear Of
The Blessings Of Love
And
Heed The Cautions Of Caring
And
Walk In The Direction Of Mercy
And
Live In The Shelter Of Grace
To Rise In The Glory Of Redemption
After An Enduring Sojourn
In The School Of Salvation!
I Desire To Reach Zion's Peaceful Shore!


Father,
Please Pour Of Your Spirit
Into This Earthen Vessel
And
Renew
Reform
Remake Me
Into A Vessel Fit
For The Use Of
My Lord And My God! 
I Desire To Possess My Place
At Your Welcome Home Table!


Father, 
I Know
I Understand
And
I Accept
That The Way Of The Crucible Is Painful
Trying
And 
Hard To Tolerate
But
I Am Willing To Stay In It
If You Will Keep My Company
Hold My Hand
Comfort My Heart 
And
Help Me
All Things To Bear!


I Need You - Please Help Me
For
I Desire The Residence In That Prepared
And Holy Place
And
I Desire With My Every Fiber
To Receive
And Wear 
That Golden Crown
That My Jesus Purchased For Me
When In Closing Out That Transaction
A Spear's Cruel Pierce
Caused His Cleansing Blood
And
Water Of Life
To Pour Forth! 
Thank You For The Promise 
The Gift
Of
Eternal Life!


I Believe - Help Me To Obey! 
I Love You! 
Help Me To Honor You Today
In All Ways
And Bless Me
Lord, Bless Me
To With Others
My Faith In The Lord Christ To Share!


Remember The Faithful
The Feeble
The Faltering
The Fraught
Remember The Caring
The Crass
The Criminal
The Cruel
Remember All The Souls
For Whom Salvation 
Through Innocent Blood 
Was Bought!

Help Us To Be Mindful!
Help Us To Be True!
Help To Worship Truly
For We
Who Will To Be Saved
Will To
In Humility
Bless You!


Grant Us Grace For This Day
And
Provision For The Way
With The Holy Spirit Leading
And
The Holy Angels Protecting
And
Ever Influencing Us
For Good
And
For Our Good!


Help Us, Father,
To Meet Your Conditions
So That The Promise Will Be Verified In Us! 
Do All, Lord, To Save Us
As You Have Promised
For
In Jesus' Precious Name, We Humbly Pray
And
Importunately Plead! 
AMEN.
