PRAYER: Father, Help Me To Pray With Diligence ...!




Father,
I Come As A Child!
Please Hear My Prayer
For
By And In Jesus Christ's Faith
I Choose To Follow After Thee
Because
I Do Not Desire To Face
A Rolling Stone's Destiny!

I Desire, Lord
A Place Of Rest
An Anchor
A Shelter
In That Place Of Honor
Where Believing Souls
Are Truly Blessed!

Father,
Help Me This Day
To Live In Your Light
Finding Heavenly Love
Joy's Laughter
And
Grace's Delight!

Let Knowledge Of Your Word
Bring True Wisdom
And
Understanding
And
Help Me Not To See Myself
As One Flying High
For, Lord
I Fear Folly's Crash Landing!

Father,
Help Me To Pray With Diligence
For Your People
That You Promised Are In Other Flocks
To Pray For The Advancement
Of The Words Of Life
That They, Too
May Find The Love Of The Lord Christ
A Fulfilling And Heavenly Delight!

Lord,
Help Me To Speak Kind Words
To Bridle My Tongue
To Extend A Helping Hand
To Give A Genuine Smile
And
Not To Ever Display
An Off-putting Selfish Man's Frown!

Oh, Lord
I Pray For The Former Rain
That Causes Seeds To Bud!
I Pray For The Latter Rain
So That There Is A Great Harvest
For Our Holy God
The King Of Love!
I Pray For The Loud Cry
To Go Forth
Calling The Sheep
Who Know My Lord Christ's Voice
And
I Pray For The Outpouring Of The Holy Spirit
So That There Will Indeed Be
A Joyous Celebration
In Glory Land
Where The Holy People
Will
Immortalized
Praise God
And
Rejoice Unendingly!

Lord,
When You Shall
In Your Eternal Kingdom Come
Remember Me
And
All Who Call Upon That Name
In Faith
With Hope And Love
Trusting
That The Oracles Of God
Are Sacrosanct
Truth
Walking In Obedience
Moment By Moment
Believing In The Promise 
Of The Newness Of Life
And
Living By Christ's Faith
Not Trusting In Man's Sight!

Almighty God,
You Who Is The Only One Faithful
Please Increase Our Faith!
You Who Is The Only One Just
Please Lead Us Home
By Your Promise To The Just!
Help To Live Right
Not Spoiling For A Fight
So That We
As Children Of The Peace-Giver
Will Live Godly
By Doing Right
And
Not Grandly
By Abusing Might!
Please Forgive Us
Who To You
For Forgiveness Do Pray
For We Love You, Lord
And
In Jesus Christ's Holy Name
We Humbly Plead!
AMEN.

The Called, and The Chosen Few!





Many Are The Called!
Few Are The Chosen!

Some Of The Called
Outright Refused The Call
Refusing To Confess Their Sin and Repent!

Some Of The Called 
Answered The Call
BUT
Were Lackadaisical
AND
Became - In The Comfort Groove Of Carnal Life -
Frozen!

BUT ...

The Willing Few
The Few Called The Chosen
Were The Diligent
The Humble
The Ones Who Truth Did Honestly Seek!

The Few Were
The Childlike
The Faithful
The Peaceful
The Meek
The Thirsty
The Hungry
The Persecuted For Jesus
Those Who Do Weep!

The Few Were The Mourners
Those Seeking God's Comfort Sweet
All Believing The Master
And Waiting For Him
Sin To Away Sweep!

The Few 
Choose To Wait
Patiently
- Though Often Distressed -
Faithfully
Longingly
Ever Hopeful
Even Though
Through Life's Battles
They Are Oft' Battered and Oppressed
BUT
Always Knowing 
That By Almighty God
Through Christ Jesus
Their Commander - The King
They Will Be 
Supremely
Wholly 
Holy Blessed!


Will You

Be Diligent
