Why, Lord?! + Prayer




Why, Lord, do the people ignore Bright Right Light but embrace Pulsating Darkness?

Why does it seem that sinning is satisfying and right-doing is demeaning?

Why is hate a full plate and love a dry date?

Why is cruelty elevated and kindness denigrated?

Why is Faith in Jesus called folly but belief in Satan is called wisdom?

Why do we seek vainly after what You have not given unto to us to know?

Why are we not contented with a little bit, some and enough?

Why do we always say "Gimme more!"

Why do we glamorize evil?

Why do we despise goodness and right but appeal to them when evil and wrong hinder and harm?

Why don't we Love You, Lord?

Why do we hate You, Lord?

Why, Lord, are we trying to make You, GOD Almighty, Mighty to Save, a small god?

Why can't certain of us feel the temperature of the times?

Lord, have Mercy
Come soon and displace
All who hate Jesus
Those who have no place for His Love and Grace
Bless all Your Little Children
And from that Good Wheat
Make for Your table, Lord
Loaves, blessed, bountiful, sweet.
Your Rain overflowed
Your Ground was good firm
Your Workers were Faithful and
They worked and they learned
For they were Believers
Kindhearted and true
And they loved, lived and trusted
And longed after You!
Come, Lord!
Gather Your Harvest
Filled with bountiful plump grain
And let The Time of Rejoicing be Glorious and 
Eternally Sustained!
AMEN.

HAPPY SABBATH +The Prayer Family







Okay, Class! Let's continue:

Ernest Lee and Percy Vering Prayer are fraternal twins who are identical!

Their mother, Mayn Lee Prayer, has a twin herself who is called Cahm Lee Prayer.

Huh!?!

Ahmmm..?

But ...?!

Yes, yes!! Ask your question!

How come Mayn Lee Prayer and Cahm Lee Prayer have the same last name if they are both married with children?

Good question!

And the good answer is ...?

Good answer is that a Prayer married a Prayer!

Oooh! 

So their names are Mayn Lee and Cahm Lee Prayer-Prayer!

Good gracious!

Get it?

Pray a Prayer! 

You crack me up!

Anyway, Mayn Lee is married to Fas N. Prayer whose father is People N. Prayer whose wife is Victoria S. Prayer whose Granny is Abiden Prayer.

Well, you could imagine how it is when all these Prayers come together!

You see, all of these Prayers married other Prayers.

Some have remained faithful and, sadly, a few have not!

There is now a branch in The Family that is totally off the wall:

Vile Prayer-Labyrinth
Laffinh Prayer
Prayer Tudee-Aire and
Du-Spell Ahn Prayer

are creating problems for

DeChurch N. Prayer
Power N. Prayer
Prayer Fuhde Power and Restlin N. Prayer!

Anyway, Goode and Faithful Lorde are the Overseers of the Congregation and they do not stand for nonsense, new-age nuggets, nor one-world common ground foolishness!

They have issued "The Directive" requiring Heartfelt Prayer to be the standard bearer - no exceptions!

There has been much grumbling by the youngsters who want to "go modern," but Steadfast N. Prayer wouldn't allow any deviations, and Re Pente and BeYou Baptized are armed and ready for the fight that is coming.

Never Theless, All Said, Ann Done, Tudee Finish, Gaud S. Gain, and Glory B. Prayzed have joined with Hymm Sing and Gausspel and Gauds Troof at the home of Maintin N.  and Tarree N. Prayer to petition for Power To Overcome.

The triplets, Icahn, Ucahn, and Lettus Prayer sang "God Will Make A Way!" while their father, Daycahn Prayer, played the guitar - their mother Lourdes Prayer said the benediction.

Besides a few black sheep, I am sure Grandfather Godly Prayer would be pleased with his legacy!

The Prayers sound good!

Want to meet one of them?

Sure!

Saint Lee meet This S. Prayer!

Amen!

HAPPY SABBATH + Prayer: Father, My Life Is The Light You Gave Me






Father, You said: "Let there be Light!"
And the Light entered my soul!
The darkness of night fled away
And the Light of Life Day did appear
And with the working of Your Holy Spirit, Lord
You made The Way appear clear!

You placed the Firmament above my head
Causing me to seek Heaven even though Earth is my bed!
You fill me with Water and provide me with Bread
And at each new morning You give hope for what's ahead!

My life is the Light You gave me
To shine for You in the wide wild world
But ... I am sorry, Great Father
I am often light out among them, cold - a churl!

Forgive me, Dear Father
I beseech You today
Renew me, refresh me
Send Holy Spirit - this is my prayer!

Lord, let me not care for my body
Before I care for my soul
Send You the Quiet Dew of Watering
Which by Your Love and Grace You bestow!

Oh, Lord, let me not be foolish
Choosing Earth instead of Heaven sublime
For at the Day of Your Returning
I'd be lost, cast off, denied!

Lord, renew, remake, seal
Reveal Your Will for me
And the Way that I should walk on this Earth as a sojourning pilgrim
Unrooted in this foreign land
Restless for Righteousness
Dissatisfied with Pomp
Unphased by Circumstance
Unperturbed by Situation
Thankful for Plenty
Undismayed by Want
Knowing You provide for my Need
And, please, let pleasure for pleasure's sake be pleasure denied.

Let nothing come between us, Dear Father
Let no joy come between me and Peace
Let Grace forever fall upon me
And let Mercy spell sweet, sweet, relief.

I bow before You in worship
I sing a joyous song to render praise
I walk in The Path toward Zion
Where forever on Your lovely Face I will gaze.

I give back to You all that You gave me -
Body, Will, Way and my Soul
These are my presents to You, Dear Father
You, whom I totally adore!

I ask that You return only body and soul, Lord
When they have Your finish - immortal, and made of Heaven's pure gold!
Send me, direct me
Lord, lead me!
Lead me to my Heavenly Forever Home!
AMEN.

PRAYER: Lord, At This Very Moment



Lord, I offer you my life as my story for examination. Will You correct it and direct me in its continuation?

I come before you as a Child and a Willing Student, and I am prayerfully open to Your Direction.

Would you please correct my use of the language, my thought process, my punctuation, and my beliefs, and please add anything else - even a character builder - if it will cause my final grade to be the Mark of Perfection.

Where there is error, please put a full stop to it, and add in the Spirit of Correction and Direction.

Where there is a stray mark indicating my lack of focus and confidence, put a "Don't Do It!" period mark, and put in The Way-mark for Erasure of Sin and Indecision, and re-calibrate my Compass and make plain The Destination on My Mission Map.

Where there are deeds of love and compassion and caring, please put a "Well Done!" exclamation point for Good and Faithful Servants, and add in a song to cheer me on as I continue on The Way.

Where there is fear and failing, put a "Why Do You Doubt?" question mark and cover it with The Blood, and add a "God Can!" booster.

Where there are prayers and praise honoring and glorifying you, Lord, put a sign of Peace and Protection in Jesus.

And if my story has an "And The Night Cometh," please put the Mark of The Overcomer on the final page of stone, and a "Welcome Home, Child!" as the Victor's grade.

Lord, in it all, though I ask in my understanding, I plead with You to fulfill all according to Your Will for my life, for I know that You are Able and will do what is best for me.

Lord, my confidence is in You, and I love you and worship You in faith. Amen.

Life: Plaintively Juxtaposed



THE CALL                                THE CRY
My eyes see, yet I am blind to the sights
My ears hear, yet I am deaf to life’s clamoring call
My heart beats, but I need to be more compassionate
My feet walk, but I won’t compete with this world!

I thirst, but it isn’t for water
I hunger, but it isn’t for bread
I love, but my love has limits
Christ died, so that I may have New Life instead!


Give me, Lord, a heart like my Master
Filled to the brim, with compassion today
Teach me to love, Lord, even the unlovely
And bless me, Lord, let me be fed
From unbroken cisterns,
Not vessels of clay
Nor from untrustworthy servants
Hiding white-washed tombs filled with dead
Words, dead hopes, delusions, confusion
Save me, My Father, else I, too, will soon be dead!


Give Grace to the grateful
Give Rest to the weary
Give Peace to the poor
Bring Love to the fore
Front of Ministry
Meeting the miserable
Greeting the grudgeful
Soothing the cold!

Red and yellow
Black and white
Pretty people in God’s Sight!
Made for blessing
Come confessing
Laud the Master
On His High Throne!

Heaven is waiting!
Time is deflating
Sin is escalating
Loving has grown cold!

Hearts are all stony
Bodies fat are bony
Sound is overwhelming
Houses are crowded
Yet people are alone!

Lord, You are merciful!
Our tempers are mercurial!
Saints face the tribunal!
Hate is on overload!

Lord, Death is demanding!
Two make a couple
Three wild a throuple
Sex is assignable
Bold Mummies young are stonily cold and old!

Daddy is a test tube
Granny is a rented womb
Priest is a parasite
Oh, Father, Judgment is for gold!

Up down means sideways
Over there means back-back
Your Children are being stacked!
Evil is feeding the flack!

Come, Lord, I beg You!
Until then, I beseech You
Let us continue to receive You
Keep watch, for we believe You
Please, Lord, let The Redemption commence!

Even so, come, Lord Jesus!





and ... when my race is run, my heart shall say:

Prayer: Bless Mommy and Daddy

Heavenly Father,
Bless Mommy and Daddy!
Help them to be good to themselves 
And to each other!
I pray that they will daily seek Your Face, Lord
And that they will teach us to be praying hearts by their good example.
Please continue to show them
Your Love, and Your Hand of Provision.
Grant them grateful hearts, loving and gentle hands
And hopes focused upon Jesus Christ and 
His soon return, and prepare them, Lord,
to meet our God for He will not be silent.
Keep them in Your care
Until the Day Breaks
In Jesus’ name and for His sake.
We love you, Lord.
AMEN

God Ain't No Black Bat

People seem to be taking up position
For - or against - Almighty God
Their actions often seem haphazard
And their thinking appears mightily flawed!

Some people don’t believe in God
Some people behave like they are god
Some people insist believing doesn’t matter
Some people say The Bible's God is a fraud!

Half believe that God IS
Half believe that God ISN’T
Half believe that if they could believe He might prove real, and
Half believe that if they do He mightn’t!

No riddle me this, no riddle me that
God is real - He ain’t no black bat
Call upon Jesus - faithful is He
Call Him! He’s real! Call Him and you’ll see!

My God is real
We talk every day
He is on the mainline
There is no cell signal decay
You may trust me - I speak truth
I gain nothing by a lie
But if you don’t believe in God
Believe me! You ARE going to die!

Great Deception in the atmosphere
Great Deception in the governing chair
Great Deception in the church of God
But, my people, I am here to declare:

Jesus Christ IS God’s Son
And He is God, too
Along with Holy Spirit
Also God too, it is true
These three be One God
Which looks out for man
So ignore Deceiving Old Satan 
Who tried to alter God’s Plan
Come to the Altar
Believe, and say a prayer!
There is singing in heaven
When a sinner declares
That God is His Father
Jesus is Redeemer, Savior, Friend
Holy Spirit is the Comforter
How Heaven erupts with “Amen!”
And how it cheers so abundantly
And cheers aloud in victory, for
Jesus Christ - the Conqueror, He
Has set another sinner ... FREE!

WON'T YOU:
 BELIEVE - IN JESUS CHRIST AND
ACCEPT - THAT HE PAID YOUR PRICE AND
RECEIVE - THE DEED TO ETERNAL LIFE BY
REPENTING - OF UNBELIEF, CRIME, LIES, AND VICE?

CALL HIM!
CALL HIM RIGHT NOW!
HE ACCEPTS ALL CALLERS!
AND
HE IS EXPECTING A CALL FROM ... YOU!!




Prayer: Father, Protect Me



Father, why do I feel like I'm challenging You?
This is not something that I would permit myself to do
For , Father, You know that I love You!
Truly! Truly, I do!

This feeling is coming out of left field
It’s like a sound coming out of nowhere
And it is making me very uneasy
Father, please help! I know that You care!

Father, You are my Shepherd
You lead me along the right way
Take me in control, Lord
Father, please, help me not to turn away!

Satan and his minions are busy
They keep saying that You, God, are not here
And they’re insisting that my life’s mine
Otherwise I’d see You everywhere!

Father, I see You -You’re all around me
You care, You comfort - I see Your loving hand
And I know that You are God - The Eternal
For You don’t act or behave like a fallen man!

Help me, my Father, this day
To steady my resolve and to walk the way
That You have determined is my way to Glory
And, please, deafen me to Satan’s whispering in my ear! AMEN.

PRAYER: Oh Lord, Have Mercy!




Oh Lord, have mercy!
Whatever my circumstance, or situation
Whatever my fate, or my feeling
Have mercy, Lord, and bless!
AMEN!

HAPPY SABBATH + Prayer: Heavenly Father, Help me






Heavenly Father:
Help me not to listen to
The siren song called Good Friend
Nor to sing from the Sin of Presumption's music score!
Help me to stand up for The Right
So that I may in His Love delight!
Help me to ignore that fiend called Peer Pressure
Who always seems to know the best wrongs
Which will lead to my death
Should I bend, and with him walk along!
Help me to ignore the friendly Clique
Which claims to be my family
Begging me to conform
If I want to be considered a "norm"
Else I'll be treated like roast corn!
Help me to listen to the Gentle Harp
That is calling me to Soul Salvation
As I ignore the rolling bass drum 
That seeks to drag me into vile sin's scrum!
Help me to Set-aside Self
And seek Safety in The Savior!
And help me, Father, on this day
To choose Life and Godly Behavior!
Open my longing eyes to Your Holy Word of Truth and
Prepare my heart to receive it!
And when those who would teach the Word
Apply Lie's Bleach to adulterate the Word
Shield me so that their vain word to me is unheard!
And when the day should come that I
Shall stand before the Prosecutor
Deliver as promised in Your Word -
No fear of my interlocutor!
I love You, Lord, and I bless Your Holy Name.
AMEN.

Prayer: Give Me One Word!



Father, when my life on earth is at its end
Give me one word on which my last breath I'll spend
Let that one word be the call of victory
"Jesus, My Lord! I come! Receive me!

If I may some soul encounter today
Listing from sin and living in decay
Lord, a kind word to this soul let me say
"Come unto Jesus
For He is the Light of Life on this benighted way!"

Let me, Dear Lord, a pattern of my Jesus display
Give me the strength to hold life's vanities in contempt
Grant me a heart like my Master's heart
And let me never from His right paths depart!

And, Lord, let this, my heart, be a residence fit
Beautiful, and bright, and shining with godly light
Let this heart-home be worthy of The King
And may it contain a voice to bless My King above anything!
AMEN.

HAPPY SABBATH!! Prayer: Father, Thank You!







Heavenly Father,
Thank You for my spared life!
Help me to remember
that I will always need You!
Help me to never forget that
since I have no reason to regret that!
You, Lord, are Good, and You are Faithful.
Help me to never allow my eyes
to dictate what I shall be fed, and help me
to be contented with Your walking speed.
I ask You to help me to trust You as a
blessed child of a Beloved Father.
Thank You for the blessings and the
bounties You provide to me each and 
every day, and I ask You to keep me
steadfast, and don't let me ever again stray.
I love You, Lord, for You alone, are worthy.
AMEN.

Prayer: Lord, Make My Pathway




Lord, make my pathway up the mountain rocky
So that I may have something to grip
For if the way is smooth, Lord, 
You know that I will surely slip!

Lord make my way straight and narrow
And help me walk like the proverbial arrow
For You know, Lord, that anything less
Will find me in hell's bar playing faro!

Fulfill my needs, Lord, don't give me my wants
For my eyes are bigger than my stomach
'Cause if my wants are wantonly met
The end result is much throwing up and sorrow!

Lord, keep contented ever my heart
Whether with little or much
Keep my hand in Yours, Lord,
For this world's cup is surely filling up!

Help me, Lord, to keep my eye on the Son
And my heart on the Holy Spirit
Help me to love You as I ought
For Beloved Jesus my lost life bought!
AMEN.

Pray Is God’s Shield!

Pray is God’s shield
Between us and destruction
Pray is God’s shield
Between us and the Foe
Do not neglect pray
Our Savior prayed - and recommended it
Pray is God’s shield
Stand firm - it can take a blow!

Pray is God’s shield
To keep us from sinning
Pray is God’s shield
To cover our souls
Pray is God’s shield
You won’t go wrong when you’re wearing it
Pray is God’s shield
Hold on - and bask in the Glow!

Pray is God’s shield
Pray now, pray right now, and pray later
Pray is God’s shield
God made us and He is keeping His vow
To watch over us, and protect all His Children
Pray is God’s shield
He won’t leave you! Call Him now!



Dear Ones:

Please, please, please do not neglect your prayer life no matter what is going on in your personal or professional life!

Even if you don’t know what to say, calling upon the name of Jesus Christ will work wonders for whatever is ailing you! The Holy Spirit intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words (Romans 8:26) and, in the name of Jesus Christ, our requests are presented to God!

DON’T FORGET THAT: 

1. We pray to the Father, in the name of the Son, under the agency of the Holy Spirit.
2. Prayer is the key in the hand of faith to unlock Heaven’s Storehouse!
3. Faith is the hand by which the soul takes hold upon Divine offers of Grace and Mercy!
4. We should pray the Promises of God!
5. “Yes!”, “No!”, “Wait!”, and “My Grace Is Sufficient For You!” are all God’s answers to our several prayers!
6. If we received everything for which we pray, we would be viewing our lives from inside the toilet, or worse!

WARNING:

1. God does not answer our prayers if we are holding on to known sin! Your prayer, in this view, is an abomination to God! So... confess your sin and THEN present your petitions!
2. Your Requests and God’s Calendar are not in alignment! It is all in God’s Delivery Time (GDT)! and
3. Never doubt Jesus’ Love for it dishonors God!

Be well, and be gloriously blessed,

BJ

Prayer: Spare Me!



Prayer: Spare me!


FATHER, spare me from the curse of riches
for I fear that in my ease and abundance 
I will see no need for You.
Instead, Father, I pray that you will grant just enough
so that I will never forget from where my help comes.
Spare me, Lord, from an abundance of self-confidence,
for I fear that in my reliance on self,
You will become redundant
and serve no useful purpose in my life.
What ever pinnacle I, with Your blessing, may reach,
spare me, Father, from the rabid desire for the world's applause
for I fear that I may become so enamored of that dainty
that I will think myself a god to whom adulation is due,
and think myself ascended to be on equal with my Lord.
Spare me from that deadly sin called greed,
and teach me instead to be contented with what I have
so that I may eat grass and be ever so satisfied
because Your blessed hand has provided.
Father, help me to be happy for my neighbor when
good fortune smiles upon her, and help me to not covet
her possessions for myself because
I know, in my heart, that in due season
You will bless me also.
Help me to patiently wait upon You
for I know that You are able.
I love You.
AMEN

Prayer To Be Kept From The Sin of Presumption

Heavenly Father, have mercy on me, a sinner.
Father, I come before You, and beseech You to keep me from 
committing the sin of presumption.
Help me, Father, to always remember that there is not anything that I can do, 
that I can do without You. Help me, also, to always keep before me 
that it is because of You, that I have my being; that I am a child, 
a sheep in Your pasture, and that I am to go, and be, 
and do what You require of me. 
Help me to daily seek Your will for my day and my way, and that I will, with
a humble and contrite heart, commit my stubborn will to Your leading. 
Help me, also, to remember that though it seems to this finite mind that You are silent, 
that You always answer the prayers of the faithful, 
whether that answer is yes, no, wait, or Your Grace is sufficient for what 
ever state, or estate, in which I may find myself. Father, help me to stand firm in the
faith of Jesus for, at times, the sufficiency of Your Grace 
feels an awful lot like welcome to the pain. 
Help me to understand, and accept, that 
Your way is not mine, neither are Your thoughts mine,
and please give me the grace 
that I desperately need to be steadfast and true to You
in the midst of my storms. And, Father, for those days 
when I do get ahead of myself, whether in anxiety, fear or distress,
or sheer willfulness, I pray for Your mercy, and forgiveness, 
and plead to be strengthened along the treacherous pathway that is this life. 
Through it all, Father, I offer You my prayers, my praise, and my worship, 
in the blessed name of Jesus Christ, the King, and ask in faith that
You will bless me, Lord, 
so that I may bless another out of Your bounteous hand of provision.
I love You, Lord, and I thank You for hearing and answering my prayer.
AMEN.




A Joyful Hallelujah

Prayer to Receive a Mustard Seed Faith



Father, have mercy on me.
With every passing day of my life
I realize more and more that I lack faith.
I talk all the time about how much faith I have in You
And how I know that You will never fail me nor forsake me.
Problem is, Father, it is a very shallow faith because it works
As long as things go how I want them to go. 
Father, I am sorry for this good time faith that I have been practicing 
Whereby I have been looking at my situation, and not at You,
And I ask You, in mercy, to give me enduring faith. 
I am pleading, Lord, for the faith, the mustard seed faith
Of which the Master spoke. I need that faith which
lets me sit, or rest, in quiet and enduring confidence, 
Unshaken at the convulsions taking place around me. 
Help me to forget what tomorrow holds and, instead,
Remember Who holds tomorrow.
Help me to submit my will, and my way, to You and help me 
To accept, without murmur or complaint,
That all my trials are for the perfecting of my character.
Grant me, Lord, faith as big as a mustard seed
So that I can not just say that I have faith,
But that I will be unwavering in my belief that I truly have 
The faith which orders my life, so that my life, and living, will be an
Exemplar of Your faith, and faithfulness, working in me.
I ask this mercy in the matchless name of Christ, the King,
And I thank You for the gift that is today.
AMEN

The Old Saint



The Old Saint


The Old Saint sat down by her bedside
The old chair fit her body like a glove
The old Bible in her hand was worn smoothly
The old words on her warm heart still moved



Those old words in the Book became new each morning
The Old Saint's old faith became renewed
The old Bible's old treasures just glistened  
For new life is contained inside them


Each line on the old face told a story
Each line on the old hand told a chore
Each line around old eyes spoke of a vision
Every line spoke that story of old


Old religion, old faith, old mercy
Old peace, old love, old grace
Old Jesus, old cross, old resurrection
For new life everlasting is the goal


The Old Saint's old body will be new soon
Her old faith had seen new mercy every day
Her old faith unshaken, she'll see the new city
That city called by all Jerusalem


The Old Saint had said her old prayer for 40 years now
It comforted her to talk to Him each and everyday
She felt prepared for battle, and emboldened
For her Lord will be coming any day


Heavenly Father:
Keep this old heart faithful to the end, please!
Keep these old eyes trained by faith on my Jesus
The same one Old Satan denied, and then tried.
Oh, Lord, no matter the pain
No matter the change or sacrifice
Keep me faithful, for I want my prize
Just give me any old mansion in the skies.
My heart is content
My body may be bent
But my faith in my Jesus I won't relent.
My spirit feels young
To Jesus I belong
Bless me, save me, e'er long
I love you, Lord, will forever be my song.

AMEN

Prayer: Father, Have Mercy On Us!




Father, have mercy on us!
All around us we see that evil is become good,
And good has become evil.
Every where it almost seems as though
Your believing children are forsaken ...
Father, have mercy on us in these harsh
And cruel times where it is already being said
that Jesus Christ is not the only answer
Or the only way Home
And that the Holy Bible is not the Sacred Word!
Father, help us to stand firm on Your inerrant Word
And to keep the Faith of Jesus!
Help us, Father, when they denigrate our belief
And hope, and faith, and love, to remember
And to hold on, and to continue trusting
In Our Beloved Christ and His sacrifice!
Help us always to remember that You have
No godchildren, nor grandchildren, nor stepchildren; that 
You are not blind, nor deaf, nor dumb;
That You neither wear dark glasses, nor pyjamas, and that
You, Father, surely don't like ugly, be it personality or practice or policy.
Until that Great and Dreadful Day, keep us
In Your love for Jesus Christ's sake. 
Father, we love You. AMEN

Prayer for When Hearts are Burdened



Father,
Sadness is all around
For the burdened, the bothered, and the bullied
Who are searching for a way to find rest from these earthly woes.
Please provide a balm to soothe their troubled minds
And
Help them to find Your Blessed Peace.

Father, sickness is all around
And
Were it not for Your Living Word
We would be scared indeed.
Please help us to always keep in our minds that
You are the Great Physician,
And
There is always a Balm in Gilead.

Father,
Death is all around
And
Were it not for Your Holy Word
We would be sorrowful
But, blessedly, You have taught us
Not to mourn as the heathen do, and to comfort each other
With the knowledge that the Dead in Christ shall rise first
And
We Who are alive, and remain
Shall be caught up together with them
To meet our Lord in the air.
What a blessed assurance!

Oh, Father, draw us nearer to You
As we reach for You in our distresses.
Please open our eyes
To see You clearer and clearer still
With every passing hour.

Please help us to stand upon the Blessed Words of 
Life and Comfort
As we live our lives as Strangers for a Holy Cause.



Father, 
We humbly beseech You for a glimpse of Glory
For just a fleeting moment.
Give us strength to stand upon The Shore today.

Oh, come soon, Great Lord
And
Take us to our Eternal Home in Glory
Where the Old Order is forever gone
And
All is Peace. 
Until then, please guard, guide, and protect us from 
The Wiles of The Devil
And
Please provide us with Care and Comfort
And
Help and Healing
All according to Your Will and in Your Holy Way.

These Mercies we humbly ask
In The Matchless Name of King Jesus
And
We Thank You for hearing and answering our Heartfelt Prayers.
We love You.
AMEN


PRAYER 
IS 
THE KEY
IN 
THE HAND OF FAITH
TO
UNLOCK 
HEAVEN'S STOREHOUSE!
