A Life Of Being Sin's Slaves!

PRAYER:

Oh, Lord

Help Us Not To Despise

Our Bountiful Blessings! 

Help Us Not To Turn Aside

To Things False! 

Help Us To Look Up

And

To See Beyond

The Kinds Of Things

Over Which The Carnal Mind Fawns!

Help Us Your Holy Name To Exalt!

Please, Lord

Heal Our Minds

Our Bodies

Our Spirits

And

Bless Us To Do All

According To Your Will! 

Help Us, Lord

For We Cannot Help Ourselves

Even Though We, Bold

Treat You, Living God Holy

Like The Useless Manmade Figurine

On The Dust-Catcher Display Shelf!

Pity Us, Lord

For You Alone Are Able!

Be Merciful, Lord

For You Alone, Save

And, Please

Let Your Grace Grant Unto Us

One More Opportunity

To Accept

To Bravely Take Secure Hold Of

Your Free Offer Of Sure Salvation

So That In The Fullness Of Time

We May Walk On Zion's Streets

Of Everlasting Gold!

We Love You, Lord!

Please Hear Our Prayer

And

Do For Us

What None But The Holy God

Can Do!

In Jesus Christ's Matchless Name 

We Pray This Prayer Of Faith

And

With Humble Hearts Plead

For It Is On That Living Word

On Which We Daily Feed! 

AMEN.

HAPPY SABBATH! + PRAYER: Lord, Please Bridle My Tongue!

Lord, I Need Inner Resources

When I Feel Put-upon

When The World is Ruffling My Feathers

When Evil is Grinding My Small Toes

And Everywhere I Turn Is A New Foe!

Lord, I Do Not Want To Be The Complainer

But You Are My Lord and My God

So I Am Making Petition

Against My Mortal Enemy, King Fraud!

Please Help Me, Father

For I Am Listing and

Almost Ready To Turn My Flesh Loose

And Ask You To Grant Me Five Minutes

To Tell One or Two People Some Home Truths

BUT

Your Charge To Me

Is to Maintain

A Quiet and Gentle Spirit Always

So I - of Carnal Mind - am Begging You, Lord

Please Do Not Let Me Send The Holy Spirit On

The Proverbial Roman Holiday!

I Love You, Lord, and I Bless You

For Your Constant Blessing on Me!

I am Grateful, Lord, and I am Happy To Know

That You Won't Reject Me When

 I Descend Into A Momentary Round of Folly!

My Actions, Lord, are not Deliberate!

It is just that Turning My Cheek 

Is Really Getting Old

BUT

Because I Desire To Have You as King of My Soul

I am Beseeching, Lord

Please, Won't You of This Poor Life Take Control?!

AMEN.
