HAPPY SABBATH + My Hope Is In Christ The Lord + PRAYER: Father, Please Lead Me Gently Home!

There Is No Point To My Having
A Creator
Who Is The Savior
The Redeemer
My Friend
If
He Is Not Also My Hope
My Help
The Great Physician
The Lord
My God
On Whom ... In All The Changing Scenes Of My Life
I Can Unfailingly
Undoubtedly
Unflinchingly Depend!

If I Can Only Depend On My God
When The Sun Shines
And
The Day Is Bright With Light
Then, He Is Either Not God Almighty
The Creator Of One And All

Or

My Faith ... By Measure
Is 

Good Only As A Boxed And Locked Treasure!

The Eternally Blessed Gift ...

Faith ... To Be Useful
Is
A Faith That Is Tried
A Faith Exercised
On A Hope Not To Be Denied
And I
And All Who Claim To Members Of
The Household Of Faith
Should Be Happy To Be Tried
To Be Tested
And
Proved
So That Our Savior Is Blessed
And
Satan
From Us Eternally Marooned!

Life Gets Real ...

No Body In Their Right Mind
Wants To Be Placed In The Furnace Of Affliction
But
We Who Choose To Walk With Jesus Christ The Lord
Hold To Our Hearts
The Dearly Purchased Promises

And
Hold On To The Marred Hand Of The One Innocent
And
Walk By His Faith
In The Light Of His Life
And
Not By The Sight Filling Our Carnal
Known-Blind Eyes!

PRAYER:

Father,

I Come To You

Because I Believe The Word Is True!

I Give Unto You

My Will

My Way

My Sorrow

And

My Joy

Trusting You Wholly

And

With Faith Unalloyed!

According To Your Word

- You're Not A Man: You Don't Lie -

You've Promised To Be With Me

Though I Walk Through The Valley Of Death!

You've Also Promised

That Neither Height 

Nor Depth

Principality

Nor Power

Can Separate Me From The Love Of Jesus

And, So

I Fall On The Living Word

Trusting You To Be Ever True

Doing For Me, Father

What Only The Holy God Can Do!

I'm Pleading, Dear God

For Mercy

Available Grace 

Forgiveness

Blessing

Guidance 

Ever-Increasing Faith

Peace That Passes Human Understanding

Shelter ... In The Time Of My Storm

A Heart Of Flesh

New Life In Christ

Hope For Coming Glory

Steadfastness Despite Opposition

Wisdom To Let The Lord Lead

The Indwelling Of The Holy Spirit 

The Protection Of The Holy Angels

Equippage To Do The Work Assigned

Victory Over Sin

And

Your Approval:

You Are My God

You Are Holy

You Are Divine

And

It Is My Will

To You To Be Obedient!

With Your Holy Light

Let My Eyes Be Filled!

Please Lead Me Gently Home

Granting Me These Few Mercies

For I Ask All In The Holy Name Of

Your Only Begotten

Jesus Christ The Righteous

My Lord, God And Soon Returning King! 

AMEN.
