Father,
I Love You!
I Need You To Survive
And
I Am Not Even Going To Try To Survive
Without You By My Side!
You Are My Father
My Savior
My God
My Lord
And
I Choose To Stand Up For My Jesus
Who Will Carry Me To Your House
To The Promised, Heavenly, Reward!
Why Should I Be Discouraged
With Life And Its Vagaries
When Troubles Come A-Knocking
And
Problems Multiply Like Fleas
When I Have Your Glorious Hand
Giving Help
Providing Healing
Drawing A Tapestry Of Love, Joy
Truth, Peace And Blessing
Giving Me Reason To Hope And To Cope!?!
Father,
You Know That I Am Human
A Child Of Love
Made Of Dust
Given Your Holy Breath Of Life
A Sinner
Weak
Needing Your Love, Grace And Mercy
Each And Every Day
So
I Will Not Stand Up
On The Pillar Of My Natural Weakness
Using It As A Cheap Excuse For Sin!
I Choose, Dear Father
With Your Richest Blessings
To Walk, In Faith, For Love
With Him Who Strengthens Me
With Him Through Whom I Can Do
All Things That Are Good, True, Noble
Honorable, Lovely, Right
So That I Will Your Holy Heart
Please And Truly Delight!
Father,
I Could Murmur And Complain!
I Could Cuss Up A Storm And Be Profane!
I Could Sell My Birth-Right To Eat Red Beans
Which Come Out In The Draught!
I Could Walk Wild And Willful
Deliberately Negotiating Satan's Damnable Path
And
I Could Give Up On Your Promises
But
In The Blessed Name Of My Jesus
I Can't Because I Believe You At Your Word!
I Trust You!
I Trust The Promises Made!
I Feel The Blessings Poured Out!
I Daily Receive The Day's Gift Of Workable Faith
And
I Am Enfolded In Your Mercy
And
Ministered To By Your Grace
And
Comforted, Taught, Guided And Chided
By The Sweet Holy Spirit Of Truth
And
Protected And Influenced By Your Holy Angels
And
Bathed In Your Love Divine!
I Have Every Reason To Sing Your Praise!
You Know My Name!
You Made My Frame!
You Hear My Cry!
I Know You Love Me, Personally, Sacrificially, Eternally
And
You Know From My Heart That I Desire You!
Please Draw Me Nearer, Lord!
Please Bless Me To Do Your Bidding
Whether I Can See Or Feel You!
Please Help Me Live Faithfully On The Living Word
The Bread Of Life
And
To Walk With Endurance
To Watch With Diligence
To Wait With Patience
To Be Wise Unto Soul Salvation
Unto The Day Of Redemption
Or While This Short Life Shall Last!
Lord,
I Am Your Child: Feed Me!
I Am A Student In The School Of Jesus: Teach Me!
I Am Your Servant: Commission Me!
I Am Willing To Work
So Please Bless Me To Obey!
Please, Dear Father
Equip Me To Serve
And
Strengthen Me To Perform
Enlivening My Mind
And
Granting Me Wisdom And Understanding
So That The Knowledge Which I Acquire
Will Bless Me
And
Bless Me To Bless Others
To Come To Know And Love My Lord Christ
Who, Alone, Blesses And Saves!
Thank You, Father

Faith-Filled, Humble, Heartfelt, Prayers
