PRAYER: Lord, Let Not My Heart Be Barren Land!

Oh, Father

Help Me To Bury

The Good Seed Of Your Holy Word

In The Prepared Ready And Waiting

Ground Of My Heart!

Oh, How I Pray

That My Ground

Is Not Barren Land

But

Good And Fertile Soil

Hungry

To Accept The Abundant Water

Of The Holy Spirit

And

That I May Be In A Place Where

The Holy, Healing, Healthful, Son-Light

Will Abundantly Cause

Your Precious Seed In Me

To Germinate

And Grow

And Leaf

And

- Constantly Watered -

By That Gracious Spirit

To Bear Precious Fruit

- And In Abundance -

All Suitable

For The Welcome

And

Banqueting Table Of My Lord!

Father,

I Look With Faith's Longing Eyes

And

Hope's Yearning Heart

To That Glorious Day Of Rejoicing

In The Beautiful Land

Of

Peace And Rest!

What A Day That Will Be!

My Eyes Have Not Seen!

My Ears Have Not Heard

But

My Belief And My Love

And

My Precious Faith

In The Surpassing, Unfailing

Faith And Righteousness Of My Lord Christ

Paints The Scenic And Lofty Panorama

Without Height

Without Depth

Without Width

Without Distance

Outside Of Time

Devoid Of Scope

And

Reveals Our Achieved Hope

And Points

Ever Points To More

In The Realm Of Eternity!

Let My Faith Become Sight!

I Desire To See My Savior

The Lord

My Forever Friend!

I Desire To Live With Him

In The Peaceful Land

Where Decay

Cannot Offend!

I Desire To Hear From His Lips

The Real Story Of My Salvation

The Story That Shows

All

That I Could Not Know

But Which Was Wrought

For My Good

And God's Glory -

I Want To Bless My Faithful Lord's 

All-Hearing Ears

With The Song 

Of

My Then-Forever-Clean Heart!

In The Meanwhile, Lord

In This Realm That Hosts Night

Please 

Prepare My Heart

Tune My Voice

Embolden My Spirit

Ever

Always

To Sing Your Glorious Praise!

Help Me To Keep

A Song Of Zion In Heart

A Word Of Truth In My Head

A Healing Balm In Hand

A Soft Word On My Tongue

Heavens Light In My Eye

And

My Foot Permanently Placed

On The Path To Paradise

Praying

Ever Praying The Promises

And

Trusting In Him

Who Gives The Beyond Understanding

Peace!

I Love You, Lord!

AMEN.
