Realization + PRAYER: I Desire You, Lord!


I Believed The Word
But Not Wholly!

I Saw The Truth
But Not Clearly!

I Had Faith
But Not Completely!

I Knew Love
But Not Entirely!

I Lived For The Lord
But Not With Fidelity!

I Prayed With Fervor
But Not With Hope!

I Prayed For Mercy
But Denied Grace!

I Lived By Grace
But Ignored Salvation!

I Expected Salvation
But Played With Damnation!

I Damned Devotion In Others
But Craved It For Myself!

I Was A Bundle Of Contradictions
Until Jesus ...
Until King Jesus Found Me
AND
In His Timeless Forward-Looking Glass
Showed Me The Life Brand New
The Life Where Right Is Ever Right
AND
New Life Is Always New
Where Water Of Life Is Abundant
Where Sense Is Ever True
Where Sensation Is The Thing Holy
Where Vision Has No Rear View
Where Walking With A Friend Is Just That
Where Thoughts And Actions Comport
Where There Are No Transactions
Where Sight Is Singular
Ever Beholding The Great God
Who Presently Gives Men
Of His Faith
A Daily Share
Where Singing To The King
Is Grandly Energizing
AND
Self Is Unknown
For The Soul For God
Is At Home
AND
Alone
Is A Thing Assuredly
Not Known
AND
There Is No Smells Of A Corrupt And Vile Goat!



PRAYER:

Lord,
Haste The Day
For
I Desire You
And To See You
And To Touch
To Hold
That Hand
That Touches My Heart!


I Desire To Kiss The Hand
That So Gently Cradled
Cradles
Caresses
My Head!
The Hand That Ensures That Daily
I Am Blessed And Fed!


Oh, Marvelous Grace!
Oh, Redeeming Love!
Oh, Love That Will Not Let Me Go
I Stand A Frail Human
But Trust In Your Strength For
Salvation For My Needing-You Soul!
Heaven At The Last Is My Goal
So, Please, Lord
Keep Me Safe In The Obedient-sheep Fold!


Father,
Please Remember The Brethren Near And Far
That People Of God
Walking Towards The Door Of Salvation
Now Currently Ajar!
Open Their Eyes, Lord!
Unstop Their Ears
And
Grant Them New Hearts Of Flesh
So That In The Little Time
Of Jacob's Trouble
Satan And His Minions
Cannot Make Them Bow To The Idol
And Sin
From Fear!


Please Remember Those
Who Are Currently Working
For The Salvation Of Souls
And
Those Who Are Awaiting Their Call To Duty! 
Bless Them, Lord
According To Your Will
And Ever Always According To Your Way
And Grant Them Utterance
To Preach And Teach
The Unadulterated Truth
- In And Out Of Season -
To The Little Ones, The Old And The Youth!


Grant Us Your Grace, Lord
To Keep Jesus Christ's Faith
Is My Humble Plea
And
I Ask All In In That Worthy Name!
AMEN.

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.
