PRAYER: Accept, Lord, My Offering...!

You Gave Me My Life, Lord

And

I Am Giving It Back

Because

In Your Word

You Have Promised

That Of Keeping Your Promises

You Are Not Slack!

In This Vein, Lord

I Am Coming To You

Seeking Your Help

Because I Need It

And

Because I Need You

To Help Me Today

Of My Word To You

To Keep It!

I Am A Mere Man

Mere Mortal, 'Tis True

But

I Have No Desire

To Use That As an Excuse

For

You Could Have Used

Your Divinity As An Excuse

To Destroy Me And My Kind

Because Of The Keeping Your Laws

We Did

And

Often Do

Insolently Refuse!

You Didn't, Lord

And

I 

Thank You

Bless You

And

Praise Your Holy Name!

Pity Me, Lord 

This Child Of The Dust

And

Bless Me With Constancy

Consistency

And

Confidence

To Walk With You

In Certainty

Along Life's Pathways

And

Highways Every Day!

Bless Me With The Voice 

To Tell The Damned Liar

"No!"

Bless Me With The Heart

That Causes My Love For You

To Show!

Bless Me With Steady Legs

And

Narrow-Way Walking Feet

And

The Willingness To Never Indulge

In The Act Of

Planned Deceit!

Lift Me Up, Lord! 

I Love You!

Lead Me, Lord!

Help Me In Your Grace To Grow!

Feed Me, Lord

With Food Fit For My Needs

And

Help Me to Rest In Your Love

For I My Sins Willingly Do Repent

And

Confess!

Your Forgiveness In My Life Shows!

Remember My Brethren

Walking On Zion's Road!

Remember My Brethren

And

To Your Loving Heart

Keep Them Close!

Remember My Brethren

The Sheep In Other Flocks

And

Please

I Humbly Beseech You

Let The Loud Cry Go Out

So That They

Knowing The Good Shepherd's Voice

Will

With Alacrity

To The Safe Fold

Come Pouring In!

Oh, Lord

Call Them Out!

Please Ever Grant Us, Father

Faith For The Day

Courage For The Way

And

Strength To Hold The Almighty Hand

Of

Our Lord Christ

The Holy And Blessed Redeemer

The Eternal Son Of God

The Returning Son Of Man!

We Desire

On Heaven's Table Land

For Eternity To Stand!

Please Accept

This Humble Offering Of Prayer

For

I Ask All These Blessings

In Jesus Christ's Worthy Name!

Hasten The Great Day!

AMEN.
