Constant Praying Is A Necessity + PRAYER: Father, Make Me To Be Like You!

Every Man, Woman, Child Has An Adversary

The Bold Enemy

Who Wants To Pounce On Us

When We Don't Say Grace Before And After Meals

When We Go To Bed

When We Arise From Sleep

When We Receive A Blessing 

When We Desire A Blessing 

When We Are In Fear

When We Have Overwhelming Care

When We Desire Leading

When We Are Saved From A Distress 

When We Have Sin To Confess

When We Need To Bless God For His Dear Grace

When We Receive The Daily Gift Of Faith ...!

... Yes, Yes, Yes, I Hear All That!

What's Your Point!?!

The Point Is That Satan Is Ready, Willing
And
Well Able To Destroy Anyone One Of Us

Who Thinks ... Believes ... That

He Can Walk This World Alone

Without Certain Comfort ... Aid 

From Him Who Lovingly Made Us!

Oh. 

Is That All You're Going To Say!?!

Yes. 

come On Now!
What's Wrong With You!?!

Everything. 

Why Do You Say That!

Dunno. 

Huh!?!

Sorry! I Don't Know!

I Feel Off-Center!

Have You Been Doing Your

Forgetting That Without Christ Jesus

There's No You For You To Do!?!

Yes. 

Having You Been Praying!?!

For Yourself!?!

Sometimes.

Have You Lost Your Mind!?!

Probably. 

Well You'd Better Hurry Up

And 
Find It Real Fast!

Why?

No Christian Can Or Will 
Survive The Mortal Strife

The Warfare For Eternal Life

If 
They Do Not Have A Private, Personal, Prayer Life! 

Your Prayer Life Must Also Include You

And

Must Not Just Be For Others!

Without Constant, Personal, Prayer-Communication

With The Lord Christ 

We Are Nothing But Cannon Fodder

For Satan's Big Guns To Destroy!

I Don't Feel Good Always Begging God For Things!

Really!?!

If You Don't Go To The Father

In Jesus Christ's Holy Name

Who Do You Believe 

Is Going To Provide For You

Protect You

Direct You 

Correct You On The Pilgrim's Way!? 

No One!

How Often Do You Say

"Thank You, Father!" 

For The Daily Gifts Of Love That 
You Unfailingly Receive!?! 

Honest Answer Or Diplomatic!?! 

Diplomacy 
Is 
Not A Tactic Recognized In The Realm Of Prayer! 

Then The Truth Is Not Often Enough! 

We Could All Say "Thank You, Father!" 
More Often! 

You Know, 

We Don't Know How To Pray As We Ought!
The Bible Says That
And 

It Also Says That The Holy Spirit 
Interprets Our Prayers

With Groanings Which Cannot Be Uttered! 

Jesus Christ Presents Our Prayers To The Father

Perfumed By His Merit 

As Though The Prayer Is His Own! 

We Are Blessed!

Indeed!

Did Not Jesus Ask Us 

To Cast Our Every Care On Him

To Be Instant And Constant In Prayer

To Pray Without Ceasing

To Boldly Approach The Throne Of Grace

To Pray In His Name To The Father 

In Faith ... Nothing Wavering

To Believe He Is Able To Give Us What We Desire

To Have Faith

To Trust Him At His Word 

To Enduringly Obey!?! 

A Thousand Times, "Yes!"

Even Though Jesus Christ 
Is 
The Only Begotten Son Of The Eternal God
In His Human Incarnation

He Deeply Felt The Need To Pray 
To Constantly Communicate With His Father! 

Need!?! 

Need As In I Can't Stand By Myself And Prosper! 

Need As In I Feel Strong When You Are Near! 

Need As In You Are My Salvation! 

Wow! I Didn't Consider That! 

Most People Don't Either! 

Jesus Prayed For Strength

For The Bitter Cup
Separation From The Father
To Be Removed 

And

He Also Prayed For The Father's Will 
To Be Done By His Willing Obedience 

Even Unto Death

The Cruel Death On Calvary's Rugged Cross! 

He Also Prayed For Us, You And Me! 

Lacey, We Show Faith In

And

Reliance Upon The Lord

When We Step Out In Our Gift Of Daily Faith

Accepting The Blood Stained, Personal, Invitation

To Make Our Supplications ... With Thanksgiving

Known 

Unto God Almighty! 

Trust The Promises Given
And
Know That We Cannot Wear Out The Lord! 

We Can't Stop The Living God From Giving

- Blessing, Healing, Sealing
Leading, Feeding, Revealing -

His Good And Perfect Gifts! 

You Are Not Bigger Than Your Creator

So, Humble Yourself ... And Pray 

Plead, Beseech, Supplicate ... Beg! 

The Eternal God Doesn't Sleep

Doesn't Play Favorites 

And

His Storehouses Can Never Run Out Of Stock!
You Are Always First In Line! 

Bend ... Humble Yourself

And

He Will Lift You Up Mightily! 
Willingly Express Your Need For His Favor!

Thank ... Thank You For Your Kindness! 

I've Been Exceedingly Foolish! 

The Lord Loves Me More Than I Love Myself

And He Promises Never To Leave Me

Nor Forsake Me
And I Do Know That
Everything About Me Concerns Him! 

Indeed! 

PRAYER:

Father, 

I Am Sorry! 

Forgive Me, I Pray! 

I Have Been Very Foolish

Giving Satan Room In My Life

Unopposed To Play! 

I Have No Excuse, Lord! 

I Cannot Say I Was Not Thinking! 

I Have Been Skimping On Praying

And My Security Blanket

Has Been Slowly Tearing!

I Have Been Depriving Myself

Of 

Your Comfort

Your Leading

Your Blessing In My Life

And

In Repentance

I Come Confessing My Sin

So Please Forgive Me

And

Fix Me

And

Guide Me Safely Unto Your Eternal Life! 

I Need You, Dear Lord! 

Please Help Me So That The Longing For You

In My Heart Never Diminishes

But Exponentially Increases! 

Make Me To Be Like You! 

My Heart Is Pleading! 

I Love You! 

AMEN.
