PRAYER : Lord, We Are Waiting ...!

Father,

I Desire To Daily Rely Upon You!

In My Heart

I Rely On You

And

In My Living

I Am Relying On You

For

This World Is Not The Place Called Safe!

I Need You, Lord!

I Am Thankful

That I Know You, Lord

And

I Thank You For The Grace Provided

Through Faith

That Causes Me Not To Fear!

I Am Grateful For This

For I Could Be Staring At The Walls

Afraid To Close My Eyes In Sleep

But, Instead

I Am Able To Rest

In Perfect Peace

Safe

In The Arms Of The Good Shepherd

The Faithful Keeper Of Humble Sheep!

I Know That I Am Blessed!

Lord, I Give You Your Praise!

Father, 

I Beseech You

That In Mercy

You Pity The Poor

Continue To Love The Lost

And

Comfort The Crying

And

Discipline The Lying!

Please Teach Those

That Are Of Tender Years

Be It In Mind Or Body

And

Humble The Brash And The Bold

And Care For The Dying

And Seal The Saved Soul!

Father,

Please Lift Thou Up The Fallen

And Call The Wanderer Home

And Bless The Believer

And Let Our Faithful Prayers

In Your Heart

Be At Home!

I Pray For The Peaceful

I Pray For The Proud

I Pray For Those Persons

Who Know Not The Comforting Shade

Of The Day Cloud

Nor The Comforting Light Of 

The Pillar Of Fire

And

Those Who Walk In The Desert Of Sin

Alone Attacked

Molested Tormented 

Weary

Wandering Wondering

Worrying

Defenseless

Afraid

Asking

Is There No One To Save?

Is There No Comfort Before The Grave?

Is There No Water Of Life?

Who Will Save?

Who Will Save...?!!

I Pray For These Afflicted Ones

That You Will Bless Them With

Opened Eyes

Unstopped Ears

Willing-To-Be-Lead Spirits

And

New Hearts

That In The Love Of The Holy Beat!

Please Bless Them With Restful Sleep!

Please Grant Them Hands That Reach Up

Eyes That Look Up

Feet That Walk The Straight Path

Onward And Up

And Senses Tuned Up

By The Spirit That Gives Life

So That These, Too

Can Be Safe

In Him Who Is Ever Able

In This Life Of Strife!

Lord, 

Let Not Our Strivings

On The Upward Way Cease

Even When We Are in Deepest Grief!

Let Us Catch The Faith-Glance

Of The Heavenly Land

So That Our Souls

By You Are Bolstered

Comforted

Even As That Wicked Satan

Over Our Supposed Terrors

Trials And Troubles

Do The Devil-Dance!

Father, 

In The Name Of Jesus

With You

We Sue For Peace!

Please Keep Your Blooded Promise

And, By Appointment

Grant Us Relief And Release!

Father, Beloved

Faithful

Kind Just True

Thank You For Your Sufficiency!

Thou Art Holy

And

We Honor

Bless

And Worship You

Who Is The One God Eternal

Blessing

Unfailingly True!

In Mercy, Lord

Please Haste The Great Day

For

We Are Waiting For Our Redemption

So That We May Forever

In Triumph

Worshipfully

Celebrate You!

We Love You

And

Plead All In The Name Of

Jesus Christ The Righteous! 

AMEN.

FAITH: Patience! + PRAYER: Lord, I Come As A Child ...!

Patience Is A Virtue!
AND
Patient
Obedient
Endeavoring
Through Christ Jesus
Leads Unto Eternal Life!

Getting Flustered
Because You Can't Get
Instant Gratification
Only Wears On The Nerves
AND
Does Not Gain One
A Blessing
BUT
Ascribes To One
A Curse!

Do You Believe
The Living Word Says:

"But Let Patience Have
Her Perfect Work ...!"

Because It Needed Something Cute To Say?!

No!
Patience Is A Necessity
For God's Children
BECAUSE
Instant Gratification
Is
Satan's Best ... Ploy
For
A Botched Life ... Play!

Take Time To Think!
Take Time To Pray!
Take A Little Breath
AND
Ask Jesus Christ
To Lead You On Your Way!

Hasty Pudding Ain't Tasty!
It's Just Prepared Fast
AND
That Is All You Get
Besides Wasted Ingredients
AND
Grimaces
From The Faces
Whose Tongues
Your Abomination Did Blast!

So, Be Patient ...

Try Counting
From One To 100
Using Only One Sound
While Enunciating Every Number!
If
You Can Do That
For Sure, My Friend
You Can Surely Steal
Lightning's Thunder Fast!

One Step!
Two Steps!
Three Steps!
Four!
Foot
In Front Foot
Walking
That's How You Exit a Door!

Running Through Glass Doors
Breaks the Glass
AND
Hurts
AND
Also Cuts You Up
So, Please
Take A Page
Out Of Patience's Book
AND
By Jesus
Your Name Will Be Written
Plain
Boldly
In The Lamb's Book Of Life
Where None 
- No Angel
No Demon
No Loose Man Playing King -
Can Remove It
For
You Will Have
- In Patience -
Walked With The Master
AND
Will
- In The Glorious Day -
With The Other Faithful
Patient Ones
Be Joyfully Celebrating!

PRAYER:

Father,

I Come To You As A Child

Seeking Guidance!

In Sincerity Of Heart, Lord

I Desire To Be Perfect

So I Am Pleading With You

To Help Me To Allow

Patience

To Do Her Perfect Work In Me

So That

In The Coming Day

I Will Have Held On The Promise

For The Win

To Become Perfect As My Master

Who Is Holy And True!

Help Me Not To Get Caught Up

In The Minutiae Of This World

Wrangling

Wresting

Wrestling To Be Eminent

And

Ending Up

Living In And With Known Sin

And

In Ratcheted Chains

Struggling To Be Free

But

In Vain!

Father,

Open My Eyes

Unstop My Ears

And

Fashion Me A New Heart

So That I Will Willingly

Give Unto You

For Safe Keeping

My Will And My Way!

Please Bound Up My Will

To Do Your Bidding

So That I From You May Never Stray

To Carry On Like A Clamoring Upstart!

Lift Me Up To Honor You, Lord!

And

Teach Me To Walk In Faithful Patience

Each Day!

And, Lord,

Let Not Satan Get The Mastery Of Me

To Turn Me Into A Knackered Out Steed

For

I Love

And

Worship

Only You!

Please Bless Me

So That

Spiritually

In Have Need Of Nothing!

In Jesus' Holy Name I Humbly Plead!

Save Me!

AMEN.

GREAT LESSONS: Silent Influence!

The Silent Influence
Of The Daily Life
Is To All A Great Lesson!
Lessons Taught
Are Lessons Learned
AND
To All Living
Such 
Should Be Of Concern!

I Give!
You Take!
I Show No Love!
You Express Hate!
I Walk As A Fake
AND
You Show To Others
My Filmed Outtakes
AND
Ape
For Others
That Which Is Hard
To Tolerate!

I Give!
You Take!
I Show The Love
That Comes From Above!
I Share Peace
Provision
Joy
AND
Justice, Too
AND
I Walk In The Path Of 
The Light Of Him Who
In Our Praises Delight
Looking To The Great Day
When Hopeful Faith
Becomes Beautiful 
In
Expressed Sight!

I Give!
You Take!
I Offer Up Daily Prayers
AND
Share
The Living Word
Of The Creator God
Who Made Us
For Himself
In Abiding Love!

I Live
What I Believe!
I Give To You
What From Him
I Blessedly Received
AND
I Humbly Ask Of You
Even As I Pray To Him
Who Asked Us
The Good Word To Share:

Will You Give The Good Word

So That Another

May God's Goodness Receive

So That

Like A Pebble

On The Water's Surface

A Ripple

Will Broadly Extend

AND

Capture 

The Hearts Of Others

So That Into All The World

The Good News

The Call To Salvation May Go

For A Witness

AND

The End May Come

So That To The Heavenly Home

We May

Redeemed

Go

To Bask In Christ

In Heaven's Eternal Glow?

Heaven Awaits!
Jesus Christ IS Returning
AND
He Is Even At The Gate
AND
It Won't Be Opened
Nor Closed
Late!

So ...

Spare A Word
For Those Who Hate!
Tell The Good News
So That They Won't Suffer
Satan's Just Fate!
Sing The Song Of Salvation
For
It Is Not Yet Too Late!

SO ...

Spread The Invitation
AND
Request All To Save 
The Unknown Date
For  
Of That Time
What We Know
For Certain Sure
Is That It Will Be Soon
AND
It Could Be At Morning
At Night
Or 
At Noon!

Please
Don't Get Upset
If They Call You Looney-Tunes
Just Stick To Your Bold Message
AND
Joyously Say:

Jesus Christ

Is Coming Soon!

God Blesses Me!
I Bless You!
Will You Bless Another
So That There Be Many
To Assemble
By The Tide-less Sea?

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: The New Beginning!

I was In Distress and
I was a Royal Mess
So ... I Called On The Savior
And I Simply Confessed
To Walking In My Own Way
Ignoring The Signs
On The Path Of Destruction
On The Road Marked:

"My Life Is Mine!"


BUT ... Before THAT Moment

IT WAS LIKE THIS:

I Asked Myself ...


Why Should I Listen
To HIM
Whom My Eye Cannot See
When All Those Around Me
Were Happy and Hale
And Vainly Hearty!

The Voice Calling My Name
Wanted Me To Turn Around
To Walk On The Road Called "Denial!"
Where There Was No Bacchanal nor
Funny Fun Song Sounds!

I Liked Fun
And Funny
And Party
And Dance
And ... In A Pinch
I Wouldn't Have Minded A Little Trance
BUT ... NO!

He Said:

No!
You Must Not!
Know That's Not The Way
To The Land Of Redemption
Go Narrow!
Get Off The Broad Way!

I Hesitated ...

And He Said:


Narrow Is Rocky
Hilly
Tough and A Pain
BUT
Survive To The End
AND
There You Will Find Great Gain
BUT
If You Stay On Broad Way
Where All Is Bright Smooth
You'd Better Believe Me
Your Life You Will Lose
FOR
Broadway Has No Character
Upon Which To Build Good
For Broad Way Is Where
There Is No Saving Blood!
You Won't Your Spirit-Building Character
Exercise Or Good Feed
For Broad Way Is A Devil Horse
Noted For Deft Speed
To Perdition!

Yes!
Hellbent!
Twisted Out Of Good Shape
Re-Formed By The Master
Of Deception
The Great Devil
Old Satan The Liar
The Lease-Master Himself
Who Writes His Own Contracts
Always Only Benefiting Himself!

No Good Something For Something Else Good!
No Mutual Benefit!
No Assured Dividends!
Those Contracts from Satan
Have Only One Clear Marked Ending:

Death To The Promisor!
Death To The Promisee, Too!
Death To All Intended and Incidental Beneficiaries!

"Is That What You Really Want 
To Do and Be A Party To!?!"

I Still Hesitated
So ... He Gently Urged Me:

Walk With Me, My Dear Child!
Walk With Me In Truth!
Walk With Me - I AM Faithful!
Walk With Me for I AM Truth
Personified
Particular
Positive
Plain
Beginning and Ending
And Your Living In Me
Won't Ever Be In Vain!

Trust Me As Master!
Trust Me As Lord!
Trust Me To Carry You
Home To The Great Reward
Where All Who Are Faithful
To Me The Blessed Friend
Will Share All My Provisions
For All Eternity
With No End!

My Heart Leaped  
And It Was Then That I heard Him Say ...

Come Unto To Me

For 

I AM 

Your Savior

Protector

Provider

Redeemer

Loving Master

Gentle Shepherd

Almighty God

AND

Holy Lord!

AND ... That 
Is When I Arrived At ... The Beginning!

PRAYER: My Lord and My God!

Oh, Father!

You are My Lord and My God

My Help and My Strength

My Way and My Stay

My Beginning and My End

My Shelter from The Storm -

My Refuge when I'm Forlorn!

You provide for My Needs!

You shield me from The Perils of My Wants yet

You Fill My Cup to Overflowing!

I Give You My Will - Help Me Walk in Your Way!

Your Love Covers My Loss and

Your Mercy Gives Me The New Day!

Your Grace Brings Bounteous Benefits Every Day!

Oh, Lord, Let Me Stay

Ever in Your Care

Walking day by day

On The Highway

To Eternal Life.

I Love You, Lord.

Amen
