PRAYER : Lord, Help Me to Be Steadfast!

Father, 

I Do Not

I Cannot

I Will Not

- By Your Saving Grace -

Ignore Your Great Mercy

And

For This Favor

I Ask You, Please

Continue To Plead With Me!

Help Me To Hear

That Still Small Voice

Against

The Loud Clanging Clamor

Of

The Busy Bustling World

Caught Up In Acquisition

Takeover And Thievery!

Let The World

- For Me -

Hold No Allure!

Father, Help Me!

Save Me!

Don't Just Have A Part, Lord!

Take All Of Me!

I Take You At Your Holy Word!

I Desire Clean Hands

A Pure Heart

A Right Spirit

And Your Love

That Is Given Without Limit!

Keep Me Out

Of Other Men's Matter

But Help Me To Care For The Brethren

Even If They're As Mad As The Proverbial Hatters!

Father,

Let Not Anything That I Have

Be Too Good

To Share With My Brethren

And

Let Not Trivial Things

Cause Me To Break Out Into Spots Of Bother!

Help Me To Know

When Where And How

To Speak Words Of Truth And Life

Even To Those Whom

My Being In Opposition

Could Cause Me To Die!

Lord,

I Am Looking Up!

I Note The Times!

I Can See The Approaching Day!

Please Help Me

- At This Late Hour -

Not To Step Aside

And

From Truth Turn Away!

Help Me To Be Steadfast

Able Strong True!

Help Me To Stand Up

For I Desire

- In Peace -

To See My Jesus

The King 

And

My Lord Savior Redeemer

The Faithful God True!

I Love You, Lord

I Want To See Jesus

- In Whose Name I Humbly Plead -

Just As He Is!

AMEN.

PRAYER: Lord, Help Me To Run Life's Race For The Win!

Heavenly Father,

I Come As A Child

A Servant

A Willing Learner

A Follower Dedicated To Christ

A Soul Consecrated To The Eternal God

Indwelt By The Holy Spirit

And

Ever Watched Over

By God-Appointed Angels

And

Beseech You

In The Only Name That Matters

- Jesus Christ My Lord -

To Help Me To Let Go

- Willingly Let Go -

Of Those Things

Which I Cannot Keep

And

To Hold On

To Those Things Given By You

Which - If Enduringly Faithful -

I Cannot Lose!

Help Me, Lord

To Run The Race For Life

So That I May Behold My Jesus In Peace

And

Achieve The Laurel Of Glory

The Garment Of Righteousness

The Glorious Crown

The New Name In Glory

And

The Mansion Of The Blessed!

I Desire The Eternal Rest!

Do For Me, Lord

What Only The Holy God Can Do

Is My Heartfelt Plea!

AMEN.

THE LIVING GOD: Fact - Not Fable!

I Thank You, Lord
For Favor!
I Thank You, Lord
For Faith!
I Thank You, Lord
For The Grace 

AND

The Coming Glory
The Hope For Which

Having Mere Men's Things
Cannot Erase!

Brethren,
When Your God
Has The Answer
To Your Problem
Long Before Your Problem
Is Before Your Eyes
Then It Is

That You Knowingly Recognise
That Your God Is Big
Big Enough
Big ... AND Then Some
Sufficient To The Cause
AND
Infinitely Able
AND
- Blessedly -
No Fable!

Such Is The Mighty God
That Many Of Us Nonchalantly Serve
Often Passing Him By

On The Street Curb
Willing Only To Give Him His Props
When
- By Life -
We Have Been Duly Ill-Served!

Lord Knows  ... I Have Been Guilty
BUT
It Is The Desire Of My Heart
From Henceforth
To Be Counted Amongst The Innocents
Who Believe
AND
Know 

- By The Experience That Shows
As Faith Works And Love Grows -
That  Our God
Is No Theory
But The True Power
That Holds Out His Hand
Ready, Willing 

AND

Supremely Able
To Grab Ahold Of The Hand
That Belongs To The Soul
Singing The Forever Psalm  ...

He's Able!

He's A Wonder!

He's A Mystery!

And

He Knows My Name

And

I Can Approach Him

In The Name

Of Him Who Died

To Absolve Me

Of Eternal Shame!

That, My Friends ...

Is No Vain ClaimAND

That 

Is Why
- In Triumph -
I Shall Proclaim:

Give Me My Lord Jesus

On Whom

I Am Learning To Lean

And To Whom I Cleave

As Playing With Sin

I - Disgusted - Leave!

Our Almighty God

Is Worthy  ... To Be Praised
TodayAND
All Of Our Days
For
The Promise Is To Those Who BelieveAND
Who Will Be Rejoicing
Bringing In Their Sheaves!

I Love You, Lord

Tune Up My Heart

And

Help Me

To Ever Sing Unto You

Most Glorious Praise!
