VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: PRAYER For Help!

PRAYER:

Oh, Heavenly Father, 

Please Have Mercy On Us Who Are Distressed

Walking In Darkness, Deceived

Doubting The Deliverance Paid For And Promised 

And Provided To Whosoever Sees Their Need

And Is Willing To Reach For The Extended Hand Of Him

Who Is Our Hope, Bringing Help And Healing

And Is The One Door To The Heavenly Home! 

Please Help Us To Not Yield To The Taunts And Temptations Of 

The Naysayers, The Scorners, The Liars

The Licentious, The Proud, The Perverse

And The Affluent And Boldly Willing Sinners 

Who Are Unafraid And Unashamed

And Are Vociferously Calling Others 

To Follow Them To Satan's Planned And Man-Purveyed Ruin! 

Please Unstop Our Ears So That We May Truly Hear Your Truth! 

Please Apply The Heavenly Eye-Salve

So That Our Eyes May Be Healed 

And We Will Truly See The Light Which Leads To Everlasting Life! 

Oh, That A Coal From The Altar In Heaven May Be Applied To Our Lips 

So That We May Be Cleansed Of Our Iniquities

And Purged Of Our Sin! 

Oh, Father, 

Let It Be That We, Willing To Be Saved, Will Say: 

"Without Our Lord Jesus, We Cannot Do Anything!" 

And, In Faith, Nothing Wavering

Commit To Our Lord

And To Taking The Way Of The Cross Which Leads Home! 

Hear Our Earnest Prayer 

And Answer Us According To Your Will 

And In Your Way 

For We Ask These Blessings In Jesus Christ's Holy Name! 

AMEN! 

Is Your Faith Exercising Trust In Jesus Christ The Lord!?!

Is Your Exercised Faith In Jesus Christ Fixed 

Or Is Your Faith Dependent Upon 

Your Every Prayer Being Answered 

Just As You Have Asked 

And

In The Time-Frame That You, A Mere Mortal, Has Specified 

To The Creator God 

Who Is All-Knowing, Almighty, And Eternal!?! 

Are You Mixing Faith With Sight!?! 

Are You Mixing Faith With Feelings!?! 

Does Your "Faith" Have You Reeling!?! 

Beloved, 

We Who Are Committed To The Lord Christ 

And 

The Way Of The Cross That Leads To The Heavenly Home

Cannot Afford The "Luxury" Of A Fair-Weather Faith 

With A Side Of Flitting Butterflies 

And 

A Generous Helping Of Thorn-Less, Perfectly Scented, Roses! 

The Children Of The Household Of Faith 

Must Stand Or Fall By The Word Of The Lord 

Which Clearly States Plainly That 

All Things Work

-  Answered Prayer Or Not - 

For The Good Of Us Who Are The Called 

According To The Purposes Of God!

We Must Be Able To Say

- Like Job And The Three Hebrew Worthies - 

"Live Or Die

I'm Trusting My Lord With My Life

And

All That Concerns Me!" 

We Who Are Headed To Hill Zion 

Must Be Able To Bear Disappointment 

Aka The Denial Of Even Godly Desires! 

We Must Be Able To Hold Strain 

Even When We Just Want To Curl Up And Die! 

We Must Trust The Living Word 

And Not The Lies Of The Devil! 

Jesus Christ Always Saves! 

Brethren, Beloved

Please ... By Grace Through Faith

Daily Choose To Moment-By-Moment Trust 

The Lord's Heavenly Love For You 

Even When You Can't Trace His Holy Hand 

Holding 

And 

Helping You! 

Peace!

Jesus Christ Knows Your Every Need

As Children 
We Often Went To A Parent With A Questioning 
"Mummy!?!" 

"Daddy!?!" 

Only To Hear Them Reply 

"Yes!" 

Not To Their Name Being Called 

But 

In Answer To Our As Yet Unasked Question! 

We Responded With A 

"But I Didn't Ask For Anything Yet!" 

To Which They Replied 

"I Know What You Need 
And The Answer Is Still 'Yes!'" 

We Then Shed A Happy Tear And Squealed For Pure Joy! 

Our Parents Knew Certain Things! 

Our Heavenly Father 

Who Loves Us Better Than Our Parents Ever Can ... Or Will

Knows Absolutely, Positively, Unerringly, Without Limit

Ever Last Iota About Us ... Before We Do 

And 

Because He Knows All

Sees All

Is In All 

And 

Feels All That Concerns Us

He Is Able To Do All Things 

To Bless, Keep 

And 

Prosper Us All The Days Of Our Lives! 

Beloved, 

Dare To Lean On Jesus Christ 

The Lord Of Life

The Shepherd Of Rest

The God Of Grace

The King Of Love Who Does All Things Well 

And 

Knows Everything That 
Is 
On The Dash Between Our Day Of Birth 

And 

Our Day Of Death ... And Beyond! 

Think Of

Pray To 

And 

Lean On The Lord 

Who Knows Before

Who Acts Before

Who Answers Before 

We Can Even Verbalize Our Requests! 

Our Lord Jesus Is Not A Useless Idol! 

Our Lord Jesus Can Deliver! 

He Can Delay

And 

He Can Destroy

But

He Will Be Derelict

And

He Will Never Desert Us! 

Our Beloved Jesus Is Holy: 

Worship Him Alone! 

Remember ... 

Peace 
Is 
A Personal Gift To Us From The Eternal God!

Choose To Believe The Lord

And

Be Forever Blessed!

PRAYER: Feed Me, Lord

 

Father,

I Come In Faith

With Nary A Reason Your Living Word To Doubt!

I Have No Life Without You, Lord

You Are Life And You Are Love!

You Are Hope And Glory!

You Are Mercy Full And Free: 

I Truly Believe The Good News Gospel Story! 

Father, I Can No Longer Join The Maddened Crowd 

Full Of Self And Glutted On Sinning 

For I Have Chosen To Run The Race For Life 

And, By Your Word, I'm Intent Upon Winning 

And My Seat At The Welcome Home Table Filling! 

Sorrow, Joy

Storm Of Wind

Torrential Rain

Good News, Pain: 

All Are Par For The Pilgrim Journey 

So Bless Me, My God, For I'm Yours To Control! 

Please Take Me To The Water Of Life 

So That I May Drink And Be Filled! 

I Beseech You, Father ... You Said To Ask And I Will Receive 

So I'm Pleading For The Holy Spirit's Outpouring, Filling

And Indwelling Right Now, Today

To Guide Me, Lead Me, Feed Me

And To Order My Steps 

So That I From Saving Truth Will Never, Ever, Stray! 

I Love You, My Maker, My Lord, My God, My King: 

Please Help Me To Keep A Song Of Zion In My Heart 

As I Live For My Jesus 

Whose Praises I Wholly Desire Ever Always To Sing!

I'm Leaning On You, Lord! 

Thank You For Hearing And Answering Our Prayers Of Faith 

And For Granting These Few Petitions 

Offered Up In That Dear Name

The Precious Name Of Jesus Christ

Our Redeemer, Savior And Forever Friend! 

Please Come For Us Soon: We Desperately Need You!

Moment By Moment
Each And Every Day!

And I Shall Mourn And Cry

For The Abominations In The Land!

Shop In Heaven's Storehouse

For A New Man Like Unto My Lord Christ
And

Call For And Accept The Leading

Your Holy Spirit

And

Accept The Influence And Protection Of Your Holy Angels

I Shall Worship

Jesus Christ Is My Captain

My Ship

My Sea

My Wind

My Current

My Eyes That The Real World I May See!

Mold Me, Lord

Break Me

Make Me After Your Sovereign Will

For

HAPPY SABBATH + PRAYER: I'd Rather Be A Plant ...!

I'd Rather Be A Plant

In The Garden Of God

Than To Be A Dried Flower

In The Great Temples Of Man Flawed!

I Rather Be Pruned

By The Hand Of The Living God Of Love

Than To Be Polished

By The Hand Of The Devil In Brilliant White Gloves!

Pity Us, Father

Who Run To Earthly Prosperity!

Pity Us, Father

Who Believe That

Running Wild Is Freedom

From Jesus Christ's Loving Captivity!

Have Mercy On Us

Who To The Wilderness Run

Seeking The Lightness

Of Christ's Holy Face So Divine For A Moment Of Fun!

Lord, Pity Us

Who Will Not Your Preserved Word Read

Preferring Copyrighted Bibles

That Cater To Man's Every Lust-Confirming Felt Need!

Help Us, Dear Lord

To Set Aside Self

And

Seek After Almighty God

Who Offers Us Eternal Life

As A Heavenly Reward!

Lord, Help Us To Keep Our Eyes Free

Of Motes And Beams!

Keep Our Hands Out Of Sin

And

Render Them Upright And Clean!

Please Keep Us Living Right

So That Our Feet Don't Run To Mischief Today

And

Keep Our Hearts Willing

To Do Whatever You Say!

Please Keep Our Ears Open

Ever Able To Hear The Spirit's Call!

Keep Our Minds Sheltered

So That We Won't For

The Rhetoric Of Satan Dressed As Man Fall

And

Please Help Us To Hold Up

The Shield Of Christ's Faith

So That The Fiery Darts Of The Devil

Won't Find On Our Weak Bodies

An Available Dwelling Place!

Lord, Please Help Us

In You

Without Worldly Fear To Stand

For We Desire 

By Your Grace

To Be Borne Away To Glory Land

Surrounded

By The Happy Angel Band!

Oh, Lord, Let All Be Well ... With Our Souls

In Jesus' Holy Name

For We Do Love You!

Thank You For Hearing And Answering Our Prayers!

AMEN.

God ...! + Prayer: Thank You, Lord

God ... Provides! 

I didn't have to Make a Request!

God ... Gives!

I didn't know that I had "The Need!"

God ... Saves! 

I knew that I was Sinking!

God ... Lives! 

I Breathe! I Breathe!

Thank You, Lord, for The Blessing today!

Thank You, Lord, for Hearing as I Pray!

Thank You, Lord, for Making The Way!

Thank You, Lord ... For Your Mercy!

Amen.

God's Love For Me Is Eternal! + Prayer: Thanks!

God's Grace gives Me Access

God's Mercy gives Me Hope

God's Love for Me is Eternal

And for this I don't have to Vote!

I send a Prayer up to Heaven

With Full Knowledge of The Power of Jesus' Blood

For The Blood of His Great Sacrifice

Assures Me an Answer from God Above!

I will Pray to God without Ceasing
I will Pray when it seems This Life is Me Defeating
I will Pray for My Days on Earth are Fleeting
I Will Pray ... I WILL PRAY!

Jesus+Saves

Heavenly Father,

Thanks for the Benefits You Bestow

Thanks for The Love that Shows

Thanks for Forgiving The Balance I Owe

I Give You Praise!

Amen.
