PRAYER: Lord, What Is The Use...!?!

Lord, What Use An Earthly Crown

When With It The Heart Has No Song?

What Use Is The Palatial Home

When All Who There Abide

From It Ever Roam?

What Use Is The Classic Ride

When With It Is No Trustworthy Guide?

What Use The Big Show

When The Eye Has No Heavenly Glow?

Father,

I Love You!

I Honor You Today

Tomorrow and

FOREVER

No Matter What The Detractors Say!

I Have Proved Your Worth To Me!

I Know, Dear Lord, That You Are Real!

Let Me Not Be Discomfited

By Those, Lord,

Who Are Vindictive, Vulgar and Mean-spirited!

Father, I Lay My Burdens At Your Feet!

Please Grant Me A Blessing

and

Let My Rest At Night Be Sweet!

Let Me, By Your Mercy

Cling To You

BUT 

Not Out Of Fear!

Let Me Cling To My Soul's Lover

And Not, Lord, To The Lying Other!

When You Kingdom, Lord, Shall Come

Remember Me, Lord

AND

Of Your Glory

No Matter How Little

Grant Me Some!

AMEN.

Psst! I Pray To God!

PRAY is:

P utting Earthly
R ealities
A side and
Y ielding to The Holy Spirit's Leading!

I PRAY
Because I Believe In The

P romises
R eserved and Stored in The
A lmighty God's Hand to be
Y ielded Up At The Glorious Awakening!

I PRAY
And
My Heart Feels Full -
Even Though My Pocket is Empty and
My Cupboard is Bare
And
I am Lost under Care
And
I have No Earthly Soul with whom My Burden to Share -
And
By so doing, Life does not Me Scare!

I Believe
That God Can ...!!

God IS No Liar Like Fallen Man
He Says He Will
And
He Can
And
He Does
And
On His Holy Word 
I Stand!

If God is a Liar 
Then
I am Deceived
AND
My Life is a Pyre 
AND
Satan's Lot is Relieved!

BUT ...

I Choose To Believe
On a Faith I Cannot Count
In a Love I Cannot See
But 
Is a Love 
That Works Out
That Lifts Up
That Carries Onward
That Pulls Through
And
Prods Production
That Waits
And
Doesn't Worry
Never Screams
Nor Talks About!

I PRAY 
To The God
That I See Through
The Holy Spirit's Eyes!
I Trust in The God That
The Holy Spirit Knows - No Lies!!

By Faith in What I Cannot See
I Accept The Word of Him who Created Me
And
I Choose to Believe in Him
And
I Expect to Receive from Him
Rather Than to Believe that He Isn't
And 
Find Out - Too Late - That
He Is
And
Could My Sin Have Relieved!

I Ask My God to Help Me 
To Always Accept Truth
No Matter The Messenger
No Matter If It is Tied Pug-Ugly and Loose!
To Always Let Me
Recognize Error, Lies and Deceits
No Matter if The Messenger
Is Wrapped Up in Light and White Robes!
To Let Me Trust The Word of The Word on
The Direction
And
The Path
That Leads to Glorification
At the Trumpet's Last Blast
And
To let Me Walk The Talk
And 
Talk The Walk
In Bright and Glorious Truth
Even if It Causes Me To Be Cut Off
While I'm as Yet a Mere Youth!

I Will PRAY! - By Faith!
I Will Plead for More Grace
AND
I Will Petition for Provision
To Get Me To That Place
Where
By The Love of The Father
I Will See Sweet Jesus' Face!

To Me, To PRAY is to:

P lead
R igorously for the
A bility to
Y ield My Spirit to Yoke with God's!

I Am PRAYING!

What About YOU!?!

Creature As Creator-god + Prayer: Keep Us Safe!

My God IS God
The Creator of All!
He Needs No Help
From The Children Of The Fall
Who Through Disbelief
Disobedience and
Sin's Decay
Have Raised Up Themselves To Where
God Must Do What They Say, and
He Must Them Daily Pay! - Worship, that is!

Creature is Creator
Creator Par Excellence
Who Makes Mechanically Marvellous Electronics
And Says: "god, This ... We are Fantastic!"

These Creatures of Clay
Make Their Own gods with
Eyes that Can't See
Ears that Can't Hear
Hands that Can't Work
Feet that Can't Walk

AND ... STILL

They Deny Almighty God's
Sovereignty
With A Lot of High Fallutin' Long Talk 
Filled with Malignity!

They are Trees without Fruit
With Rotten Roots
Clouds without Rain
Heavy ... with no Gain
Still Dying, Ever, Always
Knowing Pain
A Spot
A Blot
Having No Shame
As he His Creator's Name
He Profanes!

Father God

Word of God

Spirit of The Living God

Keep These Eyes Faithful On The Prize!

Let Us Never Fall For the "Man Is god" Disguise!

Let Us Ever Cry and Mourn and Pray!

Hear Our Petitions As Time Rolls Day By Day!

Help Us To Be Faithful

Always Honoring You

Never Having to Eat The Devil's Bread

Which Will Cause Us To Deny You!

You ARE Our Lord!

You ARE Our God!

You Help!

You Heal!

You Save!

You Seal!

Protect Us and Guide Us, and

Keep Us Safe From The Ever-Scheming Fraud

Until The Day Dawns

In Jesus' Holy Name we Plead.

AMEN.
