Praying To God Almighty Is Not A Ritual!





Take Time,  Beloved
AND
Think Of
Who Jesus Christ Really Is
AND
Think Also
- For Just An Instant -
About How You Are Caused To Live!
Of Who Causes You To Live!

Think About
Who Jesus Christ Is
In Relation To The Father God
AND
Recognize
That Man Is Being Hornswoggled
By A Wily
Desperate
Already Conquered
Already Damned
Fraud
AND
Foe!

Learn A Great Lesson
About Jealousy And Greed!
Learn A Greater Lesson
Of Him
Who Does Us Daily Feed!
Learn Of The Biggest Love
From Above
Condescending
To Save Us
Dust And A Puff Grubs
AND
Realize
That We Are Indeed
Greatly Beloved
By Everlasting Love
AND
Stop
Wandering To
Wondering After
AND
Pandering To The Lord
Of The Dung Flies
Whose Sole Mission
- Acknowledged AND Confessed -
Is To Cause Us
- Beloved Of GOD -
To Forever Die
AND
Thereafter
Turn Away From Sin
AND
Stand Up For Jesus
Pleading For The Indwelling Of God's Holy Spirit
AND
An Increase Of Holy Faith
Whilst Being Thankful For Mercy
AND
Grateful For The Grace Of God
AND
The Protection
AND
The Holy Influence Of Holy Angels
As We For Eternal Life Fight!

Please Remember
Jesus Paid Our Price!
Jesus Showed Us How To Live
AND
Points The Way To Eternal Life!

Jesus Set For Us The Perfect Example:
Indulge In A Life Of Prayer
Self-Denial
Compassion For Others
How To Pray
Communion And Union With God
AND
Showing Us Messages Of God's Love For Us
Displayed By Nature!

Jesus Christ Also Modeled For Us:
Belief
Love
Trust
AND
Obedience To The Will Of God
AND
Showed Thereby
How To Deny The Liar
Even A Petty Play
AND
Making Him Miss Our Traveling Life's Bouncing Ball!

Satan Builds Bridges On Lies!
BUT
God Through Jesus Christ
Protects His People With Hedges aka Walls
Precepts
Commandments
Love
Promises
Shelters From Decay
AND
We Can Openly
Ardently Trust
All
That He To Us
Does Say!

Pray ... Without Ceasing!
Pray ... Instantly!
Pray ... Earnestly!
Pray ... Believing That He Leads!
Pray For The Good!
Pray Over The Bad!
Pray When You're Happy!
Pray Pitifully When You're Sad!

Prayer Is No Ritual!
Prayer Is Not Form!
Prayer Is The Breath Of The Soul!
The Prayers Of Man Should Be The Norm!

Breathe A Silent Prayer!
Lift Your Voice Quietly
To Him Who Cares!
Pray In Exultation For The Blessings Around You
Beautifully Arrayed!
Pray
AND
Listen
To What The Living God
To You
- Personally -
Has To Say!

In Peace ... Pray!
In War ... Pray!
In Trial ... Pray!
In Victory ... Pray!

Don't Pray Like A Pharisee
Pompous In Company Before The Lord!
Pray Like The Publican
Who Knew His Own Need
AND
Bowed His Head
His Heart
AND
Beat His Chest
Trusting Almighty God To Care
AND
Release Him
From The Fraud!

Keep Your Own Counsel!
To God Pour Out Your Soul
Believing
That He IS Able
To Save You
In Any Moment
Of Any Day
In 1000 Ways
That We Know Not One Thing About!

Don't Just Prayer For Wants!
Also
- In Great Measure -
Pray To Praise!
Pray To Give God Thanks!
Pray Just To Commune
With Your Dying Soul's Only Friend
The Friend
With The Only Means
To Get You His Eternal Salvation
AND
To Reside In His Heavenly Glen!

Take Time To Think About Jesus!
AND
Take Time To Believe
For
Without Your Prayer Time
Satan The Fiend
Will
- Gratuitously -
You Grandly Deceive!

No Massive Formulas!
No Grand Functions!
No Fawning Functionaries!
Just Go Heart To Heart
With Our Redeemer God
AND
Escape
The Strangulation Cords
Of That Wretch Satan
Who Desires To Be Your God!

Trust God!
Obey And Pray!
Pray The Promises!
To Give Them To You
God
- Through Jesus' Blood -
Did Grossly Pay!

Don't Pray To Be Seen!
Don't Not Pray Because You Are Unclean!
Holy Red Blood
Washes
Unholy Steadfast Scarlet Sin 
White
So That You May Rest In Green Pastures
AND
Walk On Golden Streets
Nevermore To See
A Scary Dark Night!

Praying Is Not About Position!
Prayer Is Not About Voice!
Pray Is About Faith AND Belief!
Praying Is Seeking After The Soul's Savior
AND
Leaning On Love
Looking For Guidance
Believing The Assurances Of Relief AND Release
Standing On The Promises
Holding The Able Hand
Which Holds The Winnowing Fan
Walking Without Seeing
AND
Trusting The Rock
Upon Which You Stand!

Stand Firm
In Jesus Christ's Faith
Through Persevering Prayer!
Reverence God!

PRAYER: Father, Help Me To Look Up To You





Have Mercy, Dear Father
And 
Forgive Me
For All The Times
I Have Raised My Self
Above
My Creator
My Healer
My Helper
My Provider
My Defender
My Protector
My Perfector
My Savior
My Sealer
My Friend To The End
My Lord
And 
My God!

Help Me, Father
To Look Away From Self
And 
Look Up To You
To Step Outside Of Self
And
Step Up To Glory In You
To Give Up Self
And 
Give In To You
To Walk Holy
And 
To Live Wholly For You
In Whom My Hope Rests!

I Pray, Lord
For The Indwelling
The Chiding
And 
The Direction 
Of The Blessed Holy Spirit!

I Also Pray, Lord
That In The Day
That I Must Need Be Chastised
That You, In Mercy
Will Help Me To Accept Graciously
The Reproof 
As A Blessed Child
Of A Loving And Holy Father!

I Also Beseech You, Dear Father
To Help Me
- No Matter The Earthly Reward -
Not To Grieve The Holy Spirit Away!

I Love You, Lord
And 
I Thank You For The Many Blessings
And 
For Hearing 
And 
Answering Prayers
Even With The Unwanted 
Yet Often Necessary
Fatherly "NO!"
In Jesus' Holy Name 
I Come
I Stand
And 
Plead!
AMEN.

God Is My Shepherd!



I Desire To See Him
Who
For Me
Gave His Life!

I Desire To Live With Him
Who Ended
The Conflict
Between Death And Life!

I Desire To Walk Holy!
I Desire To Sing The Glad Refrain:

Blessing And Glory
AND
Thanksgiving And Honor
Unto The Holy Name!


Lord, I Love You!
I Have Chosen To Walk Your Way!
It's Too Late To Turn Back
AND
I Refuse To Know There's Such A Way!

I Have In My Hand
The Blood-Soaked 
Heaven-Is-Home Ticket
AND
I Am Glad To Confess
I Can't Afford The Turn-Back Fare!

Dear God, You Are My Shepherd
You Lovingly Guide Me Along The Way
AND
Because Of This Treasured Blessing
Satan And His Machinations
I Will Not Fear!
Amen.

PRAYER: Lord, I Give You My Praise!




My Lord!
My God!
You Have Not Forsaken Me!
You Are Always Near To Help Me!
You Open These Eyes 
At The Break Of The Morning!
You Close These Eyes In Rest 
At The Closing Of The Day!
You Provide The Grain 
With Which I Make My Bread!
You Provide The Shelter 
Where'er I Lay My Head!
You Send The Water
To Soothe My Parched Tongue!
You Send The Wind 
To Cool My Furrowed Brow!

I Walk, and I Eat!
I Rest Easy, and I Sleep
and 
I Have Your Protection
Wherever I Place My Feet!

Lord, I Give You My Praise!
I Shall Pray To You 
Unto The End Of My Days!
I Will Honor You
Until The Glory Days Blaze
And, Then
Forever, and Always!
I Love You,  Lord!
AMEN.


Jehovah, Hallelujah!

The Lord Does Provide!

My Almighty God Is Near!

TODAY:

I bow my heart
My God is near
I'm open to Him
My Soul is prepared
To let Him Have His Way with me
To do His bidding acceptably.

BUT THERE WAS THAT TIME ...

Rock of Ages!
Jesus is Mine!
I was a sinner!
Life wasn't divine!
I ran with The Reprobate!
Hate I did elevate!
But one day King Jesus told me: 
"Time's getting to be late!"

I didn't want to listen!
I wanted to play!
Jesus said: "Child, you're giving Eternal Life away!"
He had my attention!
I opened My Door!
I felt Just Elation!
Sin held me No More!

SING, GOD'S PEOPLE! 
REJOICE WITH ME:

I'm telling this story!
I'm singing a new song!
#SatanIsMyEnemy!
I now him cast down!
Jesus The Righteous
Opened The Gate
I walked through it gladly
And I won't suffer the sinner's just fate!
