PRAYER: Lord, Fashion Me A New Heart



Father,
I Come Before You As A Child
Seeking Understanding
For I Think It Strange
That We Bow Our Heads
And Bend Our Knees
To Worship The God Holy
When Our Hearts Are Inclined 
To The Evil One Continually!
But, Then Again,  Father
I Know It Should Not Be That Strange
For Your Holy Word Says
That Our Hearts Operate Deceitfully
And Are Above All Knowing!

Father, Pity Me!
Make Me Anew!
Refashion Me A Heart
That Like My Head And Knee 
Will Bow 
In Worshipful Supplication Before You!

Help Me, Father
That  My Form Of Worship
Does Not Become Mere Fashion
Trendy
Useful Only To Give Relationships Traction!

Father, I Desire To Know You More!
Please Help Me So That My Bible-reading
And
My Study Of You
Do Not To Become A Chore!

I Pray That Your Word To Me
Become As Familiar As My Own Face
So That In My Life's Battles
My Faith Will Not Be Displaced!

Bless Me With Wisdom's Insight 
And Beautiful Understanding
Truth For The Day
And Peace
Beyond Surpassing!

Let My Song Be Praise
And 
Mercy And Grace My Companions!
Let Joy Be My Juice
And
Love Be The Bread That I Share!

Jesus Christ Is My Lord, Father
So Help Me To Be Of Him A Faithful Witness
And 
When My Journey Is At Its End
Let Me Enter Into Rest
Knowing That At The Awakening
I Shall Meet My Jesus In His Peace!
Oh, Let My New Heart Ever Sing Of Him
Who Paid My Price
To Relieve Death Of Its Awful Sting!

Father, I Have In You The Blessed Hope! 
Bless Me, In Jesus' Name
To Stand Firm To The End
To Claim My New Name, My Stars And My Crown
From The Glorious King, Conquering
Mighty And Strong!
AMEN.

PRAYER: What I Desire Of Almighty God






I Desire Of You, Dear Father
Shoes With Soles
Suited To The Terrain
Found
On The Narrow Road!

Grant Me, Father
A Suit Of Clothing
Manufactured Of Your Holy Hand
Which Will
In The Fullness Of Time
Grant Me Entrance
Into The Holy Land!

Grant Me,  Lord
Eye-salve
Out Of Heaven's Stores
Providing Healing For Weary Eyes
Longing For True Sight To Be Restored!

Grant Me Funds,  Father
Finance For My Travels Through Life
And Along The Lonely Road
Coins Of Your Mintage
Tried And Tested Pure Gold!

Grant Me,  Lord
That New Heart
Promised In Your Word
For With The Spirit's Leading
I Will To My Old Heart
Be As The Dead!

And,  Lord
In All Of My Asking
And All Of Your Willing Giving
Give Me Hands That For You Work
And Wisdom
And Understanding
Grace
Instruction
Peace
Rest
Hope For The Grand Tomorrow
Grace For Weary Today
Love For My Jesus
Willingness To Obey
Joy In The Presence
Fidelity So That I Will Not From You Stray
Oh, And By The Way, Father
Keep Satan Out Of My Way
But
If He Is There As A Challenge For My Growth
Help Me,  Lord, To In Living Faith Say:

Satan
The Holy Book Says That 
You Are A Liar
And A Murderer, Too!
Get Thee Behind Me
Foul Fiend
My Lord, The Christ - Jesus 
Has Already For Me Conquered You!

Just As My Jesus Has About Himself To You Stated
You Have No Part In Me
And
There Is A Prepared Place In Holy Heaven For Me
And Sadly
Nary A One ForYou!

As For Me
I Hallow
Trust And Hope In My Jesus
And
I Heed The Spirit-Inspired Living Word!
I've Entry Into The Holy City You Gave Up
And I Choose To Walk With The Living Holy God
And Not Lying Deceitful
Unholy You!

Get Thee Hence, Satan!
My God Is Living - Not Dead!
Jesus Christ Is Alive
And
Because Of His Spilt Blood
I Am By The Father
Mercifully And Diligently
Daily Fed!

And, Father
Lest I Should Upon Occasion Forget
Please Remind Me, Dear Lord
That I Have Given My Self
And My Way
Deliberately
Over To You
So That You Will 
Continue To Lead Me
Ever On The Straight And Narrow Way!

I Love You Lord!
AMEN.
