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
