PRAYER ... Of Faith!

Oh, Father
I Come!
I Desire To Know You, Lord
Out Of A Heart Filled With Love
Running Over With Thankfulness
And Marked
For The Courts Above!

Help Me To Express My Thankfulness
By Willing Obedience Each Day
So That My Love, Lord
For You Is Ever Made Clear
Whether I Am In Sorrow
In Want
Filled
Or In Seeming Despair!

Father,
Because I Love You And Trust You
I Bring To You This Petition Today
I May Not Know The Right Words
But I Know The Spirit Will Make It Clear!

I Desire The Faith Of The Fathers
Anchored In Love And Trust
That Faith That Knows  No Doubt
No Shadow Of Turning
That Will Not
When Tested
Take The Route Turn-About!

Father,
I Desire Of You That Blessing Of Faith
Which Can Take Hunger
Sorrow Disappointment
Delay
Opposition Acrimony
Vexation And Fret
Able To Respond With

Dear Father,
This Day
This Hour
This Moment
This Battle Is Yours!
Satan Is Knocking
Please Go Before Me
- You Are My Champion -
Please Answer The Pest At The Door!

Father,
I Believe That You Are
The God Holy
And
I Give My Heart To You Solely!
I No Longer Have Patience With
Nor Desire For
The Frivolity Of The Tents Of Wickedness
Nor For The Idleness Of The Cavaliers 

Of The Caravans Of Base Foolishness!

Yesterday
I Walked On The Wild Side!
An Hour Ago
I Trusted You ... Cautiously
But Now, Lord
In This Season Of My Discontent
With The Ways Of This World
I Am Pleading, Lord
- With Passion -
Please Keep Me In Your Court

For I Want Nothing To Do
With The Wilfully, Wily Ways
Of The Damned Goat Herd!

Remember The Children
The Mothers The Dads
Remember Those Deluded
Who With Cadaver Parts
Their Noses And Nether-Parts Pad!

Mark Well The Graves Of The Faithful
Who For Truth And Right
Have Been Cut Down
And
Shore Up The Faith Of Those
Who
By Satanic Sleight Of Hand
Are Before Gross IdoIs
Prostrated
Falling Down!

Lord,
Right Is Wrong!
Good Is Bad!
Light Is Dark!
Bitter Is Sweet
And 

The World Desires The Truthful
The Faithful
The Homeward Bound
Committed To Christ
To Drink Babylonian Milk
Drawn
From Hog And Dog Teats!

Pity, Lord, Your People!
Help Us From The Abominations
To Turn Away
Unmindful Of The Fallout!
Help Us To Earnestly Do The Right
For You Are Our God
The One Holy
And It Is You
To Whom We Daily Repair
And 

Importunately Pray!

Grant Us Your Grace
Your Peace

And
Your Rest
For In Love You Promised!

Please Come Soon!
We Desire To Abide
In Our Homes Prepared
In The Mansions Above!

We Would See Jesus Christ In Peace

In Whose Name We Plead!
AMEN!

Faith Is A Gate!

My Path May Lie Through The Desert!
My Path May Lie Through The Sea
BUT
The Path That My God Leads Me
Is The Path That Is The Right One For Me!

In My Dependence On My God
I Must Exercise Real Faith
AND
Though Lying Sight Says:

"That Path Is Impossible!"

Living Faith Says:

"Get To Stepping Now - Don't You Dare To Wait!"

Faith Is A Gate Open
Ready
For The Believing One To Walk Through
Looking Neither Left Nor Right
Nor Waiting
To See Who Else
Is Going To Walk Through With You!

Father,
I Believe In The Word Of My God!
I Depend On The Daily Ration Of
Grace And Faith
And
I Depend On Him Who Leads Me
To Also In Love
Carry And Feed Me!

Lord,

I Do Not Involve Myself In Things High
Or Things Above My Pay Grade!
I Am Satisfied With My Jesus
And
Desire To Do What He Asks
As He Says!

Let Me Not Question With Arrogance!
Let Me Not Walk In Pride!
Let Me Comport Myself As One Faithful
And
Help Me Not From Truth To Backside!

Father,

Let Me Not Wait With Reservation
Until All The Uncertainties Of Life Are Set Aside
For Therein Is Destruction!
Therein Is The Word: 

"I Have Jesus Christ Denied!"

For
I Thereby Show
That I Trust My Own Understanding
And
I No Long Safe Harbor descry!

I Am Satisfied!
I Am Contented
And
I Am Walking As One Free
And Yet 

I Am Also Walking As One Captive To The God
Whose Spilt Blood
Paid For My Pardon
On The Day Of Final Decision
On The Mount Called Calvary!

I Will Follow Christ, My Savior
Knowing Not
What My Lot May Be
BUT

In Faith
I Shall Surely Follow
For
He Alone
Is The One Who Paid
From Sin
To Free Me!

PRAYER : Lord, Please Let Your Sure Word Move Me!

Lord,

All Around Are Books

Writings

Teachings

Purporting To Offer Advice Sound

Yet Giving Place To The Ways Of The Devil

And

At Your True And Living Word

Causing The World To Greatly Frown!

Father, Please

I Am Asking You

To Help Me To Look

Ever And Always

At The Lord Christ

To Trust The Promptings Of The Holy Spirit

And

To Let You Have Your Way With Me

In All And Everything!

Please

Let The Holy Angels Attend

To Influence Me For Good
And

Let My Heart

Be The Place Of Thy Throne

Where The Holy Spirit Holds Sway

So That I Am Not Left

With A Heart Of Cold Stone!

Father,
Let Me Be Enamored
And
Engrossed

To Walk Into Love

With The Word Of Truth!

Guide Me To Take Heed

To The Clear Warnings

The Admonitions

That I May Live And Not Die!

Let Me Bask In Your Love
For
I Desire To See
And
To Have The Right
To Enter Into That World
Where One Never Cries!

Lord,

Let Your Sure Word Move Me

And

Strengthen Me

Root Me
And

Ground Me

To Believe

And

To Trust The Promises

In My Walk With The Lord Christ

So That My Life Is A Delight

A Blessing To My King

A Help To My Brethren
And

To You, Lord

A Fragrant Offering!

Let Me Walk!

Let Me Talk!

Let Me Live

By The Book

So That In
The Coming Day Of Vengeance

Salvation Is Sure

For Jesus Is The Word

The Word Is The Door

The Door Is God
And
God Is Eternal
And

The Eternal God Promised Me

Eternal Life

In Eternity

And
I Desire To Receive My Blessing!

Please, Lord
Remember The Humble

The Poor And The Meek!

Lift Up The Fallen

And

Bless Those Who

The Eternal Kingdom Seek!

Comfort The Sorrowing!

Provide For Those Who Have Nothing To Eat
Whether It Be
For Spiritual Or Physical Nourishment!

Teach Those Who Are Searching
For God's Truth
And

Let Not The Wasters

In Our Lives Havok Wreak!

Humble The Proud

The Arrogant

And
Those Who Seek

The Lives Of The Children Of The Day

 - The Citizens Of The Kingdom Of Light -

To Daily Render Bleak!

Bless Us To Do Thy Will

Even Though Self Says "No!"

And
Help Us

Lord, Help Us

In The Faith Of Christ To Grow!

Keep And Save Us

Is My Humble Plea
And
I Ask All

In The Only Name That Matters

The Name Of
Jesus Christ The Righteous!
Oh, How We Love You, Lord!

AMEN.

Praying ... Praying: Believing!

Our Job
Our Work
Our Task
Our Consuming Endeavor
Is To Pray 
AND
Believe
That God Hears
AND
Provides
That Which Is
For Our Good
AND
For His Glory, Saints! 
This Must Be Accepted!
This Must Be Understood!

We Are Called To Pray
AND
That Without Ceasing
Believing That Our Holy God
Is Faithful 
AND
True
Knowing
AND
Without Doubt
That He Will Take Personal Care
Of Me And Of You!

In The Day Of Our Praying
Please Pray As One Truly Believing
AND
Don't Forget To Attach:

"Lord, Do All
According To Your Will
And In Your Way!"

For There Is No Disappointment Ever Felt 
If We Pray Like That!

Please Don't Try
To Make Bargains With God
For
God Is Almighty
AND
Cannot Be Coerced!

Remember, I Beseech You
That There Are Things
That God Longs To Give Unto Us
BUT
They Will Be Received
Only
If We In Prayer Ask!

Go Boldly
To The Throne Of Grace
For
Your Humble Prayers 
Can Move The Hand Of The God
Who Created The Universe
AND
Your Believing Prayer 
In The Ear Of The Eternal God
Can Cause Misfortunes
To Be Permanently Reversed!

BUT ...

Ask Thou In Faith
Nothing Wavering!
Believe That What God Says He Will Do
He Will Do!
Go
AND
Lay Down Your Hoped-For Petitions
AND
See
Your Faith
- The Faith Of Jesus -
Work Wonderful Miracles For You!

Our Father Knows Best!
Man's Curses Are By God Reversed
BUT
Don't Indulge In
The Sin Of Presumption
For That Will Make Bad Things 
A Lot Worse!

Humble
Faithful
Trusting
Believing
Honoring
Praising
Worshiping
AND
Always 
AND
Again Believing
AND
Praying The Promises
- Self Not Deceiving -
Look Unto Jesus
For
In Him
God's Blessings
We Shall Indeed Be Receiving!

Believe!

Pray!

Believe!

Work!

Believe!

Watch!

AND

Pray

All The Way

Every Single Day

Hoping In God

For

This Is What The Living Word Says!

PRAYING: Feeling And Being At Home

They Were Drawing Near To God
With Lips But ... No Heart!
They Were Kneeling Before God
But
The True Supplicant's Heart Was Not It!
AND
They Were Bowing Before God
Almighty 
With Stony Heart
Loving
Preferring Things
Touted By The Idolatrous Nations
Ranging Wild
AND
Behaving Riotously Ungodly
Daring God
To Do Something About!
He Did!

Almighty God Spoke Often
Of Men Drawing Near To Him
Formally
Ritually
Crying Because Of Broken Skin
Not Because They Truly Believe In Him
Or Were Repentant Of Their Known Sin
But Because They Were Caught Out
AND
Their Bodies
Were Physically Hurting!

They Were Just Like Little Children
Unruly
Unrestrained
Willing To Hear The Current Chastisement
AND
Thereafter To Be Healed
AND
Immediately Thereafter
Throwing Off The Leading Reins
AND
Kicking Up Their Heels
In Idolatrous
Holy God-Denying 
Hellbent Display!

There Was No Heart Repentance!
There Was No Sorrow For Sin!
There Was No Appeal For Their Spirit's Conversion!
AND
The Lord Well Knew 
That All The People Really Wanted
Was For Their Bodies To Stop Aching!

On The Other Side ...

Are Those Who See
AND
Understand
Their True Need!
They Know That They Need Their Soul's Savior
AND
They Accept
That He Does Indeed His People Daily Feed!

They Believe
That They Can
At His Door 
Sharply Softly
Just ... Knock!
They Know That They Can Seek Him
AND
They Know A Blessing Of Him May Be Asked
For He Dearly Loves His Little Flock!

They Recognise That Prayer Is A Privilege
AND
A Dear Necessity
AND
They Know That No Clock 
Is
Can Never
Be Ever Set 
For Petitioning God By Saying Prayers
AND
They Know
That They Commune With The Holy God
At His Already Personally Extended Invitation
Whether In Sorrow Or In Joy
About Their Fears And Their Cares
AND
Over Little Concerns
AND
Yes!
Just To Give Their Father
Some Necessary Worship
AND
Praise
In Gratitude
For Mercy AND Grace
In Thankfulness
For Glory To Be Soon Totally Enjoyed
AND
For Just Because
"I Love You, Lord!"
AND
Just Because
"You Are The Holy God!"
AND
Because
"You Protect Me From That Wily Fraud!

Prayer Places Us
At Home
With God
Where All Are Welcome
As Though All 
Is 
Just One!

Our God Is Personal!
Our Prayers Should Be Personal, Too
AND
We Should Also Pray Back God's Own Promises
That He Personally Wrote In His Own Blood
For 
AND
Unto Me
AND
Unto To You!

Pray! Pray!
Wherever You May Be!
Pray! Pray!
Talk To Jesus Constantly!
Commune Heart To Heart
None Other Has To Hear Your Words
AND
Also Remember To
Pray-CISE
Communally
Individually
Sincerely
AND
Earnestly!

Persistent Prayer 

Is

Patently Powerful!

So ... PRAY! PRAY! PRAY!

For

You Can't

Never

No Way

No How

Annoy God

For He Asks Us

To Call On Him Steadfastly!
