PRAYER: Help Us, Father, To See Jesus Christ As He Is!

Father,
I Thank You!
I Bless You!
I Praise Your Holy Name!
Please Bless Me, I Beseech You
So That I Do Not Your Great Name Profane!

Father,
All Around Me
I See People Hedging Bets
Betting On Self To Win By Walking With Jesus Christ

And
Betting On Self To Win By Walking Wise In The World
So That There Will Be A Pay Day

- Allegedly -
Whether They Win Or Lose!

I've Thought Fleetingly About This, Dear Father
And
My Decision Is Mine:

I'm Putting My Mortal Life 

On Your Holy, Everlasting, And Divine Line!

I Am Reaching For And Holding Your Hand

And

I'm Going To Continue To Hold Your Hand
Which Means You're Actually Holding Mine!

Thank You For The Life-Line!

I Lean On You

And

I'm Going To Continue To Lean On You
Which Means Your Strength Is More Than Mine!

I Trust You

And

I'm Going To Continue To Trust You
Trust Your Word
Trust Your Heart
Which Makes You My God
Which Means I Do Not Walk In The Dark

So That I Have No Need To Go Off On A Lark!

I Obey You

And

I'm Going To Continue To Obey You
Which Means That You're In Control!

I Am A Sheep In The Safe Fold!

I Follow You

And

I'm Going To Faithfully Continue

To Follow Where You Lead
Which Means That Heaven With The Lord Christ 

Is My Heart's True Goal!

I Talk To You

And

I'm Going To Continue Talking To You

And

I Am Going To Talk With You Constantly
Which Means You Are My Bosom-Friend
Which Means I Tell You My Secrets
- You've Already Openly Shared With Me Your Heart -
Which Means Each Other's Honor
The Other Will Defend!

I'm A Repentant Sinner!
Help Me To Stand Always For Truth!

I Worship You
And
I Will Continue To Worship You
In Spirit And In Truth
Which Means That Whether It Is Convenient Or Not
Popular Or Not
Fashionable Or Not 

Or
Safe Or Not
Not Giving You Your Due
Will Never Be An Option For Me!

I Am A Child Of The Dust
But
I Will Not Use It As An Excuse To Indulge Folly!
Help Me To Stand On The Promise Of 

Eternal Life With My Lord Christ!

I Am The Child Of The Great King
But
I Will Not Use It As An Excuse For False Pride

Because I Know Of A Surety

Pride Will Never In Your Holy Presence

Have A Place To Abide!

I Am A Beneficiary Of Available Grace
And
I Will Use That As The Ready Reason
To Approach Unto You For My Help!
Let This Grace Be Always Sufficient For Me!

I Am A Grateful Recipient Of Your Blessed Forgiveness!
Help Me To Tell Others The Truth Of
What Your Forgiveness Of The Sinful Soul Will Do!
Help Me Never To Sell Heavenly Gold To Buy Base Brass!

I Will Sing Praise Unto You, Father

And
I Will Say Prayers To Share Hope
To Seek Help
To Just Say, Hello! I Love You! I Need You!
To Bless God
And
Just To Be With You
Until My Life Shall End!

I Have Thought Further, My Father
And
Based Upon Readily Available Evidence
I Can Speak The Truth:

I Know Of A Surety That 

I Don't Have To Hedge Bets
In My Relationship With You!

I Am Going All In!
I'm Giving My All To You!
Present Life!
Future Prospects!
Present Prospects!
Future Life!
All Are Yours!
I Give Them To You
Because
What I Give Up
What I Lose In This Mortal Strife
Can Never Be Compared To What I Gain With You
When, By Faith
By Faithful Obedience
By Enduring Faithfulness
I Enter Eternal Life!

Please Pity Me!
Please Pity The Brethren Everywhere!
Please Open Our Eyes
And
Help Us To See Our Lord Jesus As He Is
And
Give Into Our Hands The Strength
To Call Upon That Worthy Name
Daily Confessing And Repenting Of Our Sins

And
Actually Turning Away From The Sin Life
So That We May Be Saved And Forever Blessed
For It Is In His Matchless Name
That We Humbly Plead!

Please Come Soon!

We Need You!
AMEN.
