AVOCATION: Praying! + PRAYER: Father, We Bless You For This Day!

I Paint!

I Solve Puzzles!

I Build Miniatures!

In Baking, I Delight!

What About You, Marvay!?!
What Is Your Hobby!?!

I Pray!

Come On!
Praying Is Not A Hobby!

Well, It Should Be!

Oh!?!
Why Do You Say That!?!

Let Me Ask You A Question!

Okay! Ask Away!

How Much Time Do You Daily Spend In Praying!?!

Answer Honestly!

Five Minutes!

Half An Hour!

Fifteen Minutes!

Sometimes I Forget!

Okay! Okay!
Now Tell Me How Much Time You Daily Spend
Indulging, Learning, Growing, Sharing
Advancing Your Hobby!

I Spend Hours On End!

I Spend Four To Five Hours A Day, Every Day!

When I'm Off Work, My Hobby Is All That I Do!I Spend Every Spare Hour I Can!

Alright!
Do You Feel Blessed To Have Your Hobby!

I Know I Am Blessed! It Helps Me Destress!

It Keeps Me Sane!

It's My Quiet Time!

It Gives Me Pleasure!

'Evening, Everybody!
Sorry To Be Late!
What's Our Topic This Evening!?!

'Evening Macy!
Hobbies And Praying!

Fair Enough!

What's Your Hobby, Macy!?!

Carpentry!
I Build Bird Houses!

Does Your Hobby Bring You Closer To Jesus!?!

It Sure Does!
As I Work, I Think On Jesus
And When I Do, I Enter Into Prayer!
I Like This Alone Time!
I Can Set Aside Self
And
In Jesus, I Rest!

How Long Do Spend Communicating With The Creator
The Source Of Our Strength!?!

I Can Spend Hours
And
I Do Not Feel The Time Pass!
I Am Happy In The Lord
And
Have No Time For The Fraud!

I Can Tell You, True
Praying Is My Real Hobby ...!

... Gracious!
Not You, Too!

Why Do You Say That!?!

Marvay, Here, Says Praying Should Be A Hobby!

I Will Agree With Him!
I Say That He's Right!
Praying Is A Blessing
A Gift From The Master
And
In Its Indulgence
We Should Take Special Delight!

Praying Lifts Us Up
To The Throne Room Of Heaven!
Praying Takes Us To That Most Holy Place
Where We Cannot In Flesh Hope To Enter
But
Where We, By Praying
Can Rid Ourselves Of Our Defilements
Our Disgrace

And

Make Petition For Favor

And

Tell The Lord Of Our Hopes And Our Joys!!

I Pray For Rain

And
I Pray For Power
To Lower My Self And Lift Up The Lord!

I Pray For Others
My Friends, My Brethren!
I Pray Constantly
For The People Of The Holy God!

I Pray For The Children
The Old, The Lost, The Lonely!
I Pray Even For My Enemies In My Way!

I Pray For The Leaders Of The Church
The Family And The Government!
I Pray For Peace
And
For The Coming Of The Lord
Soon On His Way!

I Pray For The Outpouring

And
For The Indwelling Of The Holy Spirit!
I Pray For My Complete Conversion
And
That Of All The Brethren!

I Pray That I Can Hold Fast
To The Hand Of The Holy Jesus
And
I Pray To Rise Up To Glory
When The Last Trumpet Shall Blast!

Oh, My! 

I Never Considered This Side Of Praying!
This Is, Indeed, Something That Is Good!

If Praying ... The Gift

Is Acknowledged As The True Blessing It Is

And

Becomes Known As" The Soul-Healing Hobby"

- The Strength Never Weak -
We Could Neuter Satan
So That His Arm Against Us Would Always List!

Here's A Thought ...

People Are Happiest Indulging Their Hobbies
Always Wanting Just Five Minutes More
So If We Numbered Praying As The Hobby Desirable
You Can Be Sure
People Will Readily Equip Themselves Readily
To Talk With The Holy God!

The Lord Already Told Us That!?!

Yes, Indeed, He Did!

He Gave Us A Model Prayer!
He Said Pray ... Without Ceasing!
He Encourages Us ... In All All Things
By Prayer And Supplication
With Thanksgiving
To Make Our Requests Known Unto God!

I Love It! Let's Pass This Thought All Along The Line!

Brethren,
I Am Indeed So Inclined!

PRAYER:

Father,

We Love You!

We Bless You For This Day!

We Thank You For All Our Blessings!

Please Accept Our Gift Of Prayer!

We Come To You Expectant!

We Come To You In Faith!

We Come To You Believing!

We Trust You And Your Holy Word We Share!

Have Mercy Upon Us Who Pray

And

Grant Us Our Few Petitions

For

We Ask All In The Matchless Name Of

The Holy Jesus

Our Maker, Our God

And

Soon Coming King!

AMEN.
