PRAYER: Lord, Remember Your Promise!

Today,  Dear Lord

I'm Requesting

A Pair Of Blinkers

For My Eyes

To Keep Me Looking Forward And Upward

To The Happy Home On High

But

Not To The Left Nor Right!

Help Me,  Lord

Not To Be Side-Tracked

By All The Clamor And Confidence

Of Mere Men

Who

Even Through Their Hustle And Bustle

It Can Be Seen That They Are At Their Very Wits' End!

Lord,

The Road Has Been

And

Is Long

But I Have Arrived 

At Peace With And Through You!

Help Me Not To Give It Up

For Biscuit And Butter

That Is Gone Before I Can On It Fill Up!

Lord,

You Promised The Faithful

Provision - Bread And Water Secure!

Please, Help Me To Hold On 

For Your Hand Of Provision

So That I May Have The Right To The Tree Of Life

AND

To Walk Through Heaven's Gate Door!

Remember The Holy People

AND

Your Promise

To Preserve Our Souls!

Remember, Lord

That We Have Given Ourselves To You

And That We Believe That We Are Not Our Own

AND

Help Us To Walk On In Faith

With Our Backs To This Deceitful World

Our Shoulders To The Straight-Gospel Plow

Our Hearts Set To Heaven

AND

Our Eyes Fixed On The Eastern Sky!

Prepare Us, Lord

To Meet Our God

For

We Are Your Children!

Please Take Us Safely Home

For

Jesus Christ We Claim

AND

In Him We Make Our Stand.

AMEN.

HAPPY SABBATH: Reality Bites! + Prayer: Father, Forgive Me!

Today I feel like an Idiot!
Yesterday I acted The Fool!
I gave in to Inclination
And became one of Old Satan's Tools!

How often have I said I Trust in The Lord Jesus?
How often have I asked The Father to Grant Me Grace?
How often have I prayed The Prayer of Faith
Only to have it fall back as Spit in my clearly exposed Face?

I Should Know Better for
Faith Without Works is Dead!
I Should Do Better for
Work Without Confidence is Rotten Thread, and
A Christian Without Character is Said To Be as 
The Barren Fig Tree Jesus Christ Cursed Dead!

So ...

Father, Forgive me

For not Trusting You Enough!

Father, Forgive Me

For using My Faith like Snuff!

Trusting You, Lord

On Demand

Leaves Me No Legs on which to Stand, so

Please Forgive, Father
This Weak and Frail Human, and

Lift Me Up as I Pray 
For I Come To You
As Only a Sinner Saved by Grace can!

Lord, I Need You!
Have Mercy and Bless!

AMEN.


Pencils Have:
 Erasers To Clear The Way 
To Right Wrongs

and

Christians Have:
 Confession
Repentance, and
Pray!
