VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: PRAYER: Direct Us, Lord, On The Way To Eternal Life!

I Bow Before You, Father! 

I Come To Worship And To Give Praise

Because It Is My Heart's Desire

To Continue To Be Blessed By

And

Be Of Service To You

The Rest Of My Life's Days!

Lord, 

I Am Not Greedy For Earthly Treasure!

I Am Not Anxious For Economic Power

Nor For Worldwide Fame

But

I Am Desirous Of Reaping The Eternal Benefits Of

Your Sacrificial Gifts Of Love

And

Ultimately To See You Face To Face

And

In Perfect Peace

And

Thankfully Worship You

In The Glorious Courts In Heaven Above!

I Am A Sinner, Saved!

I Am A Child, Loved!

I Am A Student, Eager!

I Am A Servant, Faithful

And

By Jesus Christ's Faith

I Am Holding Out My Hand

Giving Unto You My Stony Carnal Heart

And

Humbly Requesting Of You

The Promised New Heart Of Flesh

That Will Solely Beat For You

And

Lead Me The Way Of Self

Confidently To Depart!

Father, 

I Pray For The Brethren Around The World

Those In Other Flocks Waiting

Listening

For The Words Of Truth And Life In The Lord Christ

In Their Ears To Be Heard!

I Pray, Father

For The Faithful Watchmen On Zion's Wall

That They Will Give The Trumpet

That Certain Sound Which Will Warn The People

Believer Or Nay

That There Is Trouble A-coming

And

To Make Haste And Get Ready!

I Pray, Also, Father

For Those Faithless Shepherds

Those Hirelings Who Strive Only For Filthy Lucre

And

Worldly Acclaim

Who Have No Soul-Love For The Master

Who Live As Watch-Dogs Tame

Soft, Pampered

And

Of Their Own Shadows Afraid

And

Lavishly Licking The Hand Of The Proud One 

Who Encourages Them In Their Shame!

Please, Lord

Open Their Eyes To Their Own Peril

And

To The Peril Of Those Their Charges

That They Are Leading Astray!

Humble Them, Lord

So That Precious Souls May Be Saved!

Father Of The Faithful,

Thou Holy God Of The Saints

I Pray And Beseech You

To Continue To Teach Us

And

Direct Us On The Way To Eternal Life

Guiding And Chiding

Protecting And Correcting

Feeding And Leading

So That We Will Be Blessed

As We, Compliant To Your Holy Will

Seek Ever To Do Your Holy Bidding!

Please Cure Us Of Itching Ears!

Please Give Our Blind Eyes New Sight!

Please Clean Our Tongues

And

Give Unto Us The Gift Of Clean And Holy Speech

And

Bless Us With Willing Feet

Shod To Deliver The Gospel Of Peace

To Those Whom Your Heart Loves!

Father, 

Please Rescue The Perishing

Who Are Not Dying From Lack Of Bread And Water

But Those Who Are Dying For Lack Of Hearing

The True Word Of God

Which Is Light And Life!

Help Us To Turn Away From The Encroaching Darkness!

Help Us To Turn To Jesus Christ The Righteous

The Giver Of True Light And Everlasting Life

And

Bless Us To Share The Good News Of Salvation

So That There Will Be An Abundant Harvest

Your Heart To Delight

In That Great Day!

Please, Lord

Give Unto This Day Our Daily Bread

And

Lead Us Unto Green Pastures

Even As We Pass Through That Valley

Which Has Those Fearful Shadows Of Death!

Hide Us In Your Love!

Father, 

Please Send The Holy Angels To Attend And Protect Us

And

Please Help Us To Guard Our Hearts 

Against The Wiles Of The Evil One

And

Please Help Us To Ever Listen To The Holy Spirit's Promptings 

So That We Will Praise The Holy Jesus

And

Glorify Your Great Name With Love

Because

We Desire To Be Vessels Of Honor!

We Desire To Wear The Garments Of Praise!

Please Accept This Willing Offering, Father

And

Do For Us

What None But The Holy God Can Do

For It Is In Jesus Christ's Blessed Name

That I Humbly Pray! 

AMEN.

PRAYER: Father, Our Strength Is Little!

I Come To You, Father!

I Call You Lord And God!

I Bless You For The Blessings

And

I Am Grateful For The Grace

And

I Am So Thankful To Know

That To Me

You Will Never Act The Fraud!

I See You Now

Through A Glass

Dimly

But In Faith

I Look To The Great Day

When I Shall See My Jesus

In Peace

And

Face To Face!

Until That Day, Father

Be My Guardian And My Guide

And

Bless Me To Do Your Bidding

As I, In Your Love

In Hope And By Faith

- Striving For The Mastery

That Is Victory Over Sin -

Do Abide!

Help Me to Wait, Lord

Ever Always On You

For You Know All

See All

Are In All

And

You Are My All And All

And

By Your Grace-Filled Blessing

I Seek Ever To Answer:

"Yes, Lord! I Am Listening!"

When I Hear Your Soft And Sweet Voice

Call!

Remember My Brethren 

Near And Far

Known And Known

Those Already In The Ark Of Safety

And

Those Now Headed To The Door Still Ajar!

Bid The Children Draw Nigh

For

Night Is Falling Fast

And

Help Us Walk Straight

And

With Endurance

For

It Is The One God Eternal

Upon whom

Our Soul's Lot Is Cast!

Help Us To Pray Without Ceasing!!

Help Us To Not Love Sleep!

Help Us To Keep Oil In Our Trimmed Lamps

And, Please

Let Peace

The Carrying Of the Peace Of The Good News

The Gospel

Be The Never Worn-Out Shoes

On Our Feet!

Let The Angels Surround Us!

Let The Holy Spirit Indwell

For We Await Our Returning Christ Jesus

Upon Whom Our Thoughts Constant

Dwell!

Our Strength Is Little

But You

Lord God Almighty

Are Eternity-Wide Strong

And We

The Willing Faithful

With You

Will

In Truth

Walk Humbly Along!

Have Mercy, Lord

On Us

For We Hold You

In Godly Fear!

In The Name Of Jesus

We Pray And ... Humbled

Plead!

We Love You, Lord!

AMEN.
