PRAYER: The Can't-Fail Weight-Loss Diet!

Before You Come Into The Presence
The Presence Of The Great And Holy God
Let Your Light Shine ... Share Your Faith
Break The Bread Of Life ... Read The Living Word
And
Burn The Incense ... Pray!





To Approach Unto The Throne Of The Eternal God 
Is 
A Privilege Which We Would Do Well To Exercise 
And 
In Abundance 
Because 
There Is Nothing That We Can 
That We Can Do Without Jesus Christ The Lord! 

Praying Raises Us Up To The Lord! 
Praying In Humility Shows Honor! 
Praying Without Ceasing Declares Our Dependency
And
Praying In Faith Shows Trust! 

Fact ... 

Believing In The God Who Answers Prayer
Is 
A Necessity! 

Action ... 

Putting Our Privilege With Our Necessity 
And 
Going To The Throne Of Grace ... Boldly 
For Whatever We Need
Against Temptation
To Say Thanks
Just To Talk
And 
Just Be With The Lord 
Marks Us As A People Wise ... Unto Salvation! 

We Are Invited To Pray
Soooo,
No Matter What Is Happening
No Matter Where You Are Going
No Matter What Is Bothering You
When Something Is Pleasing You
Grieving You
Causing You Sorrow, Pain, Shame, Remorse
Get At It
And
Pray
And
Pray And Pray ... And Pray Some More! 
Praying Is A Sure Weight Loss Diet!

Think About It ...

We Have A Personal Invitation From The Lord Of Life
And 
We Cannot Wear Out Our Welcome 
Because 
He Desires To Hear From Us Individually
Personally
Privately
Honestly
Directly
And 
Desires To Bless Us Immeasurably!

Beloved, 

Dare To Be Brave! 
Dare To Faithfully Believe
No Matter What You See, Hear Or Feel!
Be Enduringly Prayerful 
Trusting
And
Hopeful
Because
Your Offered Up Petitions
- Unselfish
Not Wasted On Harmful Lusts -
Are In Accordance With 
The Clearly Stated Will Of Almighty God!
Even If A Desire 
Is 
Not Immediately Received
You Shall Surely Be Ever Blessed!
The Lord Of Life Cannot ... Will Not
His Beloved People Deceive! 

All Faithful, Humble, Prayers Are Answered
Even If The Answer 
Is
Yes!
No!
Wait!
Or ... Gasp
Welcome To "The Pain!"

Consider The Caterpillar ...

Before A Creeping, Crawling, Fat, Caterpillar 
Becomes An Aerodynamic, Beautiful, Butterfly
He Is Sealed Into A Cocoon
Turns Into A Soup
And
Reemerges As On The Wing
To Soar To Lofty Heights
To See And Experience Things That Prior
Would Have Been Beyond His Ken
His Understanding
His Ability To Reach For
To Grasp
To Hold!

The Lord Said Let There Be ...

Caterpillars Have Faith In Their Maker
Accept The Call To Transformation
And
Trust The Process 
Because
They Know That Their Maker Can Perform
Keep, Save And Seal
And
Understand That What The Lord Promises To Do
For Them ... Personally
Will Be Revealed 
In The Fullness Of Their Lord's Time!
Caterpillars Do Not Doubt!

The Lord Said
Let Us Make Man In Our Own Image ...

The Lord Does Wonderful Things 
For Those Not Made In His Image
So Be Assured ... Be Comforted In The Fact That 
He Will Do Exponentially More Wonderful Things
For Us Who Are Made In His Own Image!

Decide To Have ... To Exercise Daily Faith
And
Pray ... Nothing Wavering 
And 
Know That Our Received Answer 
Will Always Be For Our Best Good
And
For His Great Glory!
Almighty God's Stated Character 
Is 
Made Up Of Mercy And Goodness 
And 
Grace! 
Meditate On These Things!
Blessings Abundant Await!
