AVOCATION: Praying! + PRAYER: Father, We Bless You For This Day!

I Paint!

I Solve Puzzles!

I Build Miniatures!

In Baking, I Delight!

What About You, Marvay!?!
What Is Your Hobby!?!

I Pray!

Come On!
Praying Is Not A Hobby!

Well, It Should Be!

Oh!?!
Why Do You Say That!?!

Let Me Ask You A Question!

Okay! Ask Away!

How Much Time Do You Daily Spend In Praying!?!

Answer Honestly!

Five Minutes!

Half An Hour!

Fifteen Minutes!

Sometimes I Forget!

Okay! Okay!
Now Tell Me How Much Time You Daily Spend
Indulging, Learning, Growing, Sharing
Advancing Your Hobby!

I Spend Hours On End!

I Spend Four To Five Hours A Day, Every Day!

When I'm Off Work, My Hobby Is All That I Do!I Spend Every Spare Hour I Can!

Alright!
Do You Feel Blessed To Have Your Hobby!

I Know I Am Blessed! It Helps Me Destress!

It Keeps Me Sane!

It's My Quiet Time!

It Gives Me Pleasure!

'Evening, Everybody!
Sorry To Be Late!
What's Our Topic This Evening!?!

'Evening Macy!
Hobbies And Praying!

Fair Enough!

What's Your Hobby, Macy!?!

Carpentry!
I Build Bird Houses!

Does Your Hobby Bring You Closer To Jesus!?!

It Sure Does!
As I Work, I Think On Jesus
And When I Do, I Enter Into Prayer!
I Like This Alone Time!
I Can Set Aside Self
And
In Jesus, I Rest!

How Long Do Spend Communicating With The Creator
The Source Of Our Strength!?!

I Can Spend Hours
And
I Do Not Feel The Time Pass!
I Am Happy In The Lord
And
Have No Time For The Fraud!

I Can Tell You, True
Praying Is My Real Hobby ...!

... Gracious!
Not You, Too!

Why Do You Say That!?!

Marvay, Here, Says Praying Should Be A Hobby!

I Will Agree With Him!
I Say That He's Right!
Praying Is A Blessing
A Gift From The Master
And
In Its Indulgence
We Should Take Special Delight!

Praying Lifts Us Up
To The Throne Room Of Heaven!
Praying Takes Us To That Most Holy Place
Where We Cannot In Flesh Hope To Enter
But
Where We, By Praying
Can Rid Ourselves Of Our Defilements
Our Disgrace

And

Make Petition For Favor

And

Tell The Lord Of Our Hopes And Our Joys!!

I Pray For Rain

And
I Pray For Power
To Lower My Self And Lift Up The Lord!

I Pray For Others
My Friends, My Brethren!
I Pray Constantly
For The People Of The Holy God!

I Pray For The Children
The Old, The Lost, The Lonely!
I Pray Even For My Enemies In My Way!

I Pray For The Leaders Of The Church
The Family And The Government!
I Pray For Peace
And
For The Coming Of The Lord
Soon On His Way!

I Pray For The Outpouring

And
For The Indwelling Of The Holy Spirit!
I Pray For My Complete Conversion
And
That Of All The Brethren!

I Pray That I Can Hold Fast
To The Hand Of The Holy Jesus
And
I Pray To Rise Up To Glory
When The Last Trumpet Shall Blast!

Oh, My! 

I Never Considered This Side Of Praying!
This Is, Indeed, Something That Is Good!

If Praying ... The Gift

Is Acknowledged As The True Blessing It Is

And

Becomes Known As" The Soul-Healing Hobby"

- The Strength Never Weak -
We Could Neuter Satan
So That His Arm Against Us Would Always List!

Here's A Thought ...

People Are Happiest Indulging Their Hobbies
Always Wanting Just Five Minutes More
So If We Numbered Praying As The Hobby Desirable
You Can Be Sure
People Will Readily Equip Themselves Readily
To Talk With The Holy God!

The Lord Already Told Us That!?!

Yes, Indeed, He Did!

He Gave Us A Model Prayer!
He Said Pray ... Without Ceasing!
He Encourages Us ... In All All Things
By Prayer And Supplication
With Thanksgiving
To Make Our Requests Known Unto God!

I Love It! Let's Pass This Thought All Along The Line!

Brethren,
I Am Indeed So Inclined!

PRAYER:

Father,

We Love You!

We Bless You For This Day!

We Thank You For All Our Blessings!

Please Accept Our Gift Of Prayer!

We Come To You Expectant!

We Come To You In Faith!

We Come To You Believing!

We Trust You And Your Holy Word We Share!

Have Mercy Upon Us Who Pray

And

Grant Us Our Few Petitions

For

We Ask All In The Matchless Name Of

The Holy Jesus

Our Maker, Our God

And

Soon Coming King!

AMEN.

JESUS CHRIST SAVES: Be Neither Faint Nor Feeble

Jesus Christ's Holy Spirit Reveals Our Sin!
Jesus Christ's Love Gives Us Grace!
Jesus Christ's Blood Removes Sins' Stains!
Jesus Christ Forgiveness Restores Us To The Father's Favor!

Jesus Christ For Our Blessing Labored
So, Now, We May Work In Faith By Love
Because
We Are Saved
And
Enjoying Blessings' Savor!

The Word Of God Is Truth!

The Justice Of God Is Fair!

The Mercy Of God Is Free

And

Salvation Is For all Who Desire Their Share!

Working With Christ Is Available For All!

Darkness Is Descending Upon The Blue Ball!

Satan Is The Liar Who Caused Mankind's Fall

And

Judgment Is Coming For All

With

Condemnation For Those Who Will Not Before The Great God

By Confession In Repentance

In Humility Fall!

Blessing And Cursing

Are The Choices Between Which Man Must Make!

Life And Death Likewise

And

This Is A Thing That None Can Fake!

Individual Will

Individual Choice

This From Man No Created Being Can Take

For

All Alike Must Make Their Own Decision

And

By So Doing

Will Their Position In Eternity Take!

Innocent Blood Was Spilt! 

The Holy One's His Own Life Laid Down
And

The Holy One His Life Took Back Up

So That No Man ... Believing

May From The Eternal Kingdom Be Lost

Because

The Innocent Blood Spilt

Was That Of Jesus Christ The Righteous

On Calvary's Cruel Cross!

We Are Precious ...

We Are Bought With A Price

Not Known To Be Silver Or Gold! 

We Are Offered A Safe Berth

In The Good Shepherd's Safe Fold! 

Harden Not Your Heart! 

Let It Not Be As In The Provocation Cold

But

Let It be Warmed By The Love Of Him Who

For Our Salvation 

Was For Thirty Pieces Of Silver Sold! 

Brethren, 

A Place Is Personally Prepared For You

Which Cannot Be Bartered Bought

Rented

Mortgaged

Nor Ever Sold

So Let Heaven At The Last Trumpet

Be Your Soul's Sole Goal!

In The Love Of The Lord Christ
For The Salvation Of Souls

Be Not Faint Nor Feeble

But

Be Valiantly Bold!
Let The Truth For The Ages Be Made Known!
Let Saving Truth Be Told!

Speak The Truth In Righteousness!
