Preparing For Duty
And
Marked For Trial
- Being Informed Of The Dire Necessity Of Prayer -
Sought Assistance At Divine Support
A Subsidiary Of Amazing Grace Now
And
Surpassing Glory To Come!
Wanting To Become Aka To Be Transformed Into
Braced For Duty
And
Prepared For Trial
These Two Humbled Themselves
Watching And Praying
Praying Without Ceasing
And
In All Things By Prayer And Supplication
They Made Their Requests Unto
The True And Living God
In Their Lord Christ's Holy Name!
They Wanted The Benefits Of
The Close, Personal, Relationship With Savior Of Man
The Close, Personal, Relationship With Savior Of Man
So They Adhered To
And
Met The Conditions Publicly Enumerated
And
Met The Conditions Publicly Enumerated
And
With Working Faith
And
Living Hope

The Promised Immeasurable, Known-Eternal, Benefits!
Truth Be Told ...
The Road Is Long, Narrow, Strait Aka Difficult
But
Glory Be To Jesus
That Same Road Is Straight
Because
The Map-Maker Is True, Faithful, Kind, Blessing, Giving
And
Forgiving!
He Is The All-Knowing One
And
He Is The Forever Friend
Who Heals Hurts
And
Mends Hearts And Lives!
With Him, They Choose To Abide!
Abide ... That's A Pretty Strong Word!
Indeed!
It's The Perfect Word!
To Abide, To Rest, To Be Safe
Sheltered, Protected, Provided For!
I Like It!
I Like It!
Along The Way, They Met Pray So Little
And
So Little Faith!
It Did Not Go Well!
They Refused To Let Prideful Self Get In Their Way
Of Moving From Certain Hope
To Assured Glory!
They Preferred Profitable Prayer To Unprofitable Pride!
They Understood ... Understand That
To Live With Pride
Is
To Live A Bold
And
Their Faith In Lord Christ Was Not Having It!

Amazing, Isn't It
When We Want What The Lord Has To Give
But Have No Pressing Desire
To Humbly Pray So That We May Receive
The Available-For-The-Asking Blessing!
Don't Forget Being Stuck On Self The Sinner ...!
Don't Forget Being Stuck On Self The Sinner ...!
... And Don't Forget The Attitude Of
It'll Be There If ... Or When ... I Need It!
Been There, Done That, Foolish Indeed!
All I'm Saying Is That
We All Could Learn A Thing Or Three
From Good King David!
I Hear That!
He Knew How To Pray And ...!
... He Also Knew How To Confess And Repent
And
To Give His God His Due And Necessary Praise!
Listen To This:
And
To Give His God His Due And Necessary Praise!
Listen To This:
King David Knew His Prayers Were Accepted
Because
Because
He Knew He Met The Conditions
And
In Gratitude, For Faith, In Need
And
To Give Worshipful Praise
And
In Gratitude, For Faith, In Need
And
To Give Worshipful Praise
He Prayed Continually!
Brethren,
Praying Is Not A Panic Button
To Be Used Only In Cases Of Emergency!
To The Committed-To-Christ Christian
Praying Is To Be The Reason For Living
The Way To Life
The Umbilical Cord That Connects Us To Our Lord
Our Creator-God, Our Redeemer, Our Provider
And
Is To Be A Constant
Our Go-To ... Our Default Position
In All Things In Our Sojourn In This Life!
Pray Without Ceasing
Is Not
A Challenge: It Is A Command!
Is Not
A Challenge: It Is A Command!
Pray, Beloved!
Roundly Reject Sin!
Utter Honest Praise!
Give Heartfelt Thanks
And
Be Truly Grateful!
To Remember How To Pray To Our Father In Heaven
Remember The ACTS:
Adoration
Confession
Thanksgiving
Supplication Aka Ask For What You Need
And
Do All In Jesus Christ's Holy Name!
Our Almighty God Is The God Holy:
Take Your Faith To The Throne!
