PRAYER: I Won't Complain, Dear Father!

Father,

I Love You!

I Need You To Survive

And

I Am Not Even Going To Try To Survive

Without You By My Side!

You Are My Father

My Savior

My God

My Lord

And

I Choose To Stand Up For My Jesus

Who Will Carry Me To Your House

To The Promised, Heavenly, Reward!

Why Should I Be Discouraged

With Life And Its Vagaries

When Troubles Come A-Knocking

And

Problems Multiply Like Fleas

When I Have Your Glorious Hand

Giving Help

Providing Healing

Drawing A Tapestry Of Love, Joy

Truth, Peace And Blessing

Giving Me  Reason To Hope And To Cope!?!

Father, 

You Know That I Am Human

A Child Of Love

Made Of Dust

Given Your Holy Breath Of Life

A Sinner

Weak

Needing Your Love, Grace And Mercy

Each And Every Day

So

I Will Not Stand Up

On The Pillar Of My Natural Weakness

Using It As A Cheap Excuse For Sin!

I Choose, Dear Father

With Your Richest Blessings

To Walk, In Faith, For Love

With Him Who Strengthens Me

With Him Through Whom I Can Do

All Things That Are Good, True, Noble 

Honorable, Lovely, Right

So That I Will Your Holy Heart

Please And Truly Delight!

Father, 

I Could Murmur And Complain!

I Could Cuss Up A Storm And Be Profane!

I Could Sell My Birth-Right To Eat Red Beans 

Which Come Out In The Draught!

I Could Walk Wild And Willful

Deliberately Negotiating Satan's Damnable Path

And

I Could Give Up On Your Promises

But

In The Blessed Name Of My Jesus

I Can't Because I Believe You At Your Word!

I Trust You!

I Trust The Promises Made!

I Feel The Blessings Poured Out!

I Daily Receive The Day's Gift Of Workable Faith

And

I Am Enfolded In Your Mercy

And

Ministered To By Your Grace

And

Comforted, Taught, Guided And Chided

By The Sweet Holy Spirit Of Truth

And

Protected And Influenced By Your Holy Angels

And

Bathed In Your Love Divine!

I Have Every Reason To Sing Your Praise!

You Know My Name! 

You Made My Frame! 

You Hear My Cry!

I Know You Love Me, Personally, Sacrificially, Eternally

And

You Know From My Heart That I Desire You! 

Please Draw Me Nearer, Lord! 

Please Bless Me To Do Your Bidding

Whether I Can See Or Feel You! 

Please Help Me Live Faithfully On The Living Word

The Bread Of Life

And 

To Walk With Endurance

To Watch With Diligence

To Wait With Patience

To Be Wise Unto Soul Salvation

Unto The Day Of Redemption

Or While This Short Life Shall Last! 

Lord, 

I Am Your Child: Feed Me! 

I Am A Student In The School Of Jesus: Teach Me! 

I Am Your Servant: Commission Me! 

I Am Willing To Work

So Please Bless Me To Obey!

Please, Dear Father

Equip Me To Serve

And

Strengthen Me To Perform

Enlivening My Mind

And

Granting Me Wisdom And Understanding

So That The Knowledge Which I Acquire

Will Bless Me

And

Bless Me To Bless Others

To Come To Know And Love My Lord Christ

Who, Alone, Blesses And Saves!
