PRAYER ... For A Quiet And Gentle Spirit!





Father,
I Give To You My Praise
And
My Worship!
Please Help Me Daily To Surrender Unto You
My Will!
Help Me Ever To Call Sin
By Its Rightful Name
And
I Beseech You
To Kill Any Desire Within Me To Want
With That Wicked Satan To Chill!

Father,
I Am A Sinner By Nature!
Help Me Not To Nurture
Sinful Ways!
Please Help Me To Stand Firm
In Your Faith And Belief
Though I
By Friends And Family
May Suffer
Untold Grief!

Father,
I Desire To Walk The Way Holy!
I Desire To Walk The Path Straight
And I Desire 
With All That's In The Humble Believer's Heart
To Enter The Gate To The Heavenly City
Never To Suffer
Satan's Everlastingly Just Fate!

Father,
Man Looks At My Outward Appearance
But You
The All Seeing
All Knowing
Ever Present
Almighty God
Sees Plainly My Longing-To-See-Christ Heart!

Oh, Lord
Cultivate In This Willing Soul
A Character
Which Is Patterned After
Jesus Christ's Faithful
Loving
And
Holy Heart!

Father,
I Have No Desire
For Riches
Neither For Power
Never For Fame!
The Desire Of My Heart
Is For A Quiet
And
Gentle Spirit
Against Which
No Law
In Any Kingdom Of This Dying Earth
May Make A Valid Claim!

Give Unto Me, Dear Father
What I Need For My Daily Bread!
Help Me Never To Yield Up
A Holy Spirit-Taught Conscience
Just To Acquire That Which
A Heaven-bound Soul
Can't Honestly Use
And Should
By Living Faith
Refuse!

I Plead,  Lord
For Faith For The Day
Courage For The Way
Strength
And
Strength Of Character
To Do Thy Will!
And When I Must Make Decisions
Be They Ever Be 
For My Soul's Eternal Good
Never Doubting
The Power Of Jesus Christ My Lord
Who
By The Living Word
The Damned Satan
Withstood!

Help Me To Do The Good I Can
And
Make Me A Good Servant
Of The Son Of Man!
Grant Unto Me Daily
The Measure Of Jesus' Faith
That Is Mine
And
Let Grace To Help
In Time Of Need
Be Mine Ever
And
Always
As You Promised
Never Declined!

Father, You Are Faithful!
Father, You Are Ever Kind!
Let This Humble Servant
Bow In Supplication
And Worship
Before You
Giving Unto You
Your Due
For You Are The Living God
Holy
Divine
Ever To Your Precious Promises
True!

I Love You!
I Bless You!
I Give You My Worshipful Praise!
Receive My Humble Petition
Offered In Jesus Christ's Name
And
Lead Thou Me Forward
Unto The Coming Kingdom
For Which I Daily Pray!
AMEN.

ATTENTION!! ATTENTION!! God Ain' Got No College Degree!!





I Grew Up Hearing:

"Never Bite The Hands That Feed You!"

"Never Burn Bridges You May Have To Re-Cross!"

I Took Those Words to Heart
And in Life made of them a Good Chart!

Modern Man Obviously Did Not Get The Memo!

"What God?" they question.

And their New Age Knowledge says:



"God is Dead!"

"We are God!" 

"Forget God!"

"You Don't Need God!
You've Got A Head!"





With this Reasoning In Place, there is:


Don't Follow God
He has no Learned Degree
And if He even had one
He didn't Pay The Graduation Fee!

God Has:

No Graduate Degree
No Post Grad Study
No Doctoral Degree
No Fellowship Work
No Peer Reviews has He
No Published Studies
No Grants 
No Commissions 
To give Him Pretty Pedigree!

With this State of Affairs
No "In" with The Players
God has No Proud Position
And Many Naysayers!

BIG PROBLEM!!

God IS The Creator
Of both Man and The Earth
And With That Prominent Standing
Man's Common Sense Shows Dearth
And
Faithful Christians Cannot Join Them
In their Folly and their Mirth!

The Living God IS The Ruler
His Will IS The PROTECTED Way
And no matter what Man Says or Does
Almighty God Holds Wins The Great Day!

Saying God Is Not Really God 
Doesn't Make It The Truth, and
Denying God His Sovereignty 
Does Not Remove The Attachment nor 
The Creator's Glue!

Educated Man May Lie All He Wants
Denying All The Evidence True
Twisting The Truth
Making Truth Turn Corners
Making Truth Skin Cuffins and
Coloring The Truth
But
At The End  
At The Judgment
His Previous Lack of Repentance
Is Going to Eternally Destroy
The Unrepentant Lie Is Truth Crew!
