VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: PRAYER: Lord, Please Accept My Gift Of Me To You!

PRAYER:

Father,

We Are Instructed That If We Spent As Much Time

Giving Thanks To You As We Do Asking You For The Things

Which We Deem Necessary For Smooth Sailing In This Life

Things Would Go Better For Us! 

Lord, I Yield

And With A Humble Heart

Knowing How Spiritually Bankrupt I Am

I Give You Thanks And Joyful Praise

And A Glorious Hallelujah! 

Thank You For Your Sacrifice For Me That

Cost You Everything That You Possess

To Give Me Everything True That

I Could Ever Need In This Life For Abundant Living

And Then Life Everlasting! 

I Thought About Giving You A "Thank You!" Gift

But Then I Realized That Nothing Man-Made Would Suffice

And So I Have Decided To Give You Me

Flawed, Foolish, Needy!

My Heart, Lord, Is Spotted With Sin! 

My Eyes Are Cloudy With The Constant Look

At What Is Not Good! 

My Ears Are Constantly Itching And Often Blocked

From Tuning In To The Radio Station Of

The Adversary Of Souls!

My Tongue Utters Praise And Prayers To You

And Then Heaps Curses Upon My Fellow-Man!

My Thoughts Are Regularly Murky, And Often Even Dark

And Most Assuredly Contrary To The Covenant Of Peace That

I Desire To Have With You! 

My Hands, Lord, My Hands Are Those That Would Gladly, Even Gleefully

Work The Demise Of Those Who I Believe Have Offened Me

No Matter How Small

And My Feet, Lord, These Feet Have Not Always Been Shod To Deliver

The Gospel Of Truth, The Gospel Of Grace

But Have Been Quick To Run To Do Evil In Your Holy Sight! 

Father, In The Name Of My Jesus

Your Only Begotten Son

The Door Through Whom I May Enter Your Holy House 

... By Your Grace I Know That By My Faith Exercised

I Will Hold Fast Your Eternal Gift To Me And My Kind ... 

Have Mercy On Me And Accept Me, 

My Gift To You, Though Spotted, Torn, Tossed

Tested, Tried, Tormented, Thinking To Do Evil Continually

But Loving You With My Whole Heart

And Willing To Be Forgiven Of My Sins Which Are Many

And Cleansed From All Unrighteousness!

You Promised To Fix Me

And Fit Me To Enter The Gate

And Into The Glorious City By Right: 

Please Keep Your Promise

And

By Your Sweet Spirit Who Is Leading Me Into All Truth

Help Me To Keep My Promise To Be Counted

Amongst The Faithful, The True, The Overcomers! 

Of Myself, I Am Not Worthy To Come Into Your Presence

But You Told Me To Come Boldly To The Throne Of Grace

To Obtain Mercy And Grace, Unmerited Favor

To Help Me In My Time Of Need! 

Lord, I Need To Give You Me

So Please Keep Your Promise And Honor Your Call-Out To Me

And Help Me To Deliver My Gift To You Though Poor It Is Indeed!

Please Accept It, Father

For My Jesus, Your Beloved

Spilt A Drop Of His Blood, Innocent Indeed, Upon It! 

I Love You: Please Help Me To Love You More!

I Need You: Please Help Me To Need You More!

I Thank You For The Blessings You Have

And Are, And Will Bestow Upon Me: 

Bless Me To Thank You More

And Praise You More

And Pray More

And Uplift You More

So That My Light Will Shine Brighter 

And My Salt Will Not Lose Its Savor, Its Taste, 

That Blesses Me As I Bless Others In Jesus Christ's Holy Name!

Without The Master, My Savior, My Creator, My Redeemer

My Forever Friend Who Sticks Closer Than A Brother

My King To The End

And I Pray Never The Frowning Judge

I Give You My Free Will 

And, In The Faith Of Jesus Which Cannot Fail

Ask You To Mark And Make The Way That

You Will That I Should Walk!

Help Me To Moment By Moment Walk With And Talk To

And Lean On, And Trust And Obey The Master

And Cooperate With The Holy Spirit! 

Please Help Me To Allow Myself To Be Influenced By The Holy Angels 

Who Are My Guardians Excelling In Strength!

I Beseech You To Help Me Not To Look Back At Those Things

Those Possessions

Or Persons That For My Jesus I Have Walked Away From

For I Remember Lot's Wife!

I Love You: Let My Love To You Show As I Grow In Grace

On My Walk To Your Glory!

Please Help Me Not To Make A Shipwreck Of My Faith

For It Is In Jesus' Name That I Pray And Plead!

I Place My Trembling Hand In Your Hand That

Is My Rock In This Weary Land Called Life!

AMEN!!!
