VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Lawful Children + PRAYER: Please Grant Discernment And Wisdom, Dear Lord!

 

Adversity
Aka Troubles, Poverty, Enemies And Sorrows
Is 
A Guaranteed Entity In The Life Of Man 
But
We Who Are Loved, Corrected
And 
Taught By The Lord 
Are Blessed, Sheltered And Protected Through It! 

The Chastisement ... The Rod Of Correction
The Guidance Of The Lord 
Is 
For His Children 
Because 
Whom He Loves He Corrects 
And 
Teaches The Right Way To Walk! 

Beloved, 

Please Don't Resist The Lord: Rest In The Lord! 
Correction May Not Be Pleasant 
At The Time Administered 
But 
The End Result For A Child Of God Motivated Thereby 
Is 
Rest And Peace! 

Please Humble Yourself 
And 
Be Obedient Under The Mighty Hand Of God 
Who Will Lift You In The Day Appointed!
The End Of The Willful Disobedient
- The Enemies Of God -
Who Walk Presumptuously Wild And Wayward
Is 
Damnation! 

Give Unfeigned Praise 
And 
Utter Thankful Prayers That 
Our Father Recognizes Our New Birth 
And 
Calls Us His Lawful Children, Blessed Forever! 

PRAYER:

Father, 

I Pray For Discernment

To Understand What I See Happening

And

What I Hear Around Me

And

I Pray For Wisdom, Dear Lord

To Do What Will Please You And Bless Me! 

Help Me, My Father

Not To Follow The Multitude

Not To Walk In The Ways Of The Unwise

The Ways Of Those Who Follow

And

Proselytize

The Known-Demonic Device! 

You Have Given Unto Me

Free Will And Free Choice 

And

The Power Of A Voice

And

You Have Given Me Your Living Word

To Guide Me Toward Your Presence

Where I May In Joy Rejoice! 

Please Help Me

Please Guide Me

Please Protect Me 

And

As And When Necessary

Upbraid Me And Chastise Me

For I Am Not A Friend Of The World

But Your Very Own Child

A Servant

A Student

A Willing Worker For My King

And

Desire Above All Else

To Dwell With You

In The Land Where Night Does Not

The Light Ever Darken! 

Father, 

Please Grant Unto The Gift Of 

Willing Obedience 

To See It Not As A Sacrifice

Or A Self-Denial

But As A Privilege

Given To Your Obedient Children

And

Which Leads Always To Our Blessing

From Your Holy Hand! 

Teach Me Your Way, Oh Lord

Keep Me Faithful

And

Lead Me In The Way Everlasting!

I Love You, Lord

And

I Thank You For Hearing

And

For Answering Humble Prayers

For It Is In Jesus Christ's Holy Name

That I Pray And Plead!

Please Come For Us Soon!

AMEN! 

PRAYER: Lord, We Ask a Boon!

Father,

I Am Grateful

My Soul Is Well Blessed

My Body Is Fed

And

In You

I Have Sweet Peace And Rest!

I Look All Around

I Hear A Bird's Call

I Am Touched By A Cool Breeze

And

I Feel The Rain As It Falls!

I Take The Living Word On My Tongue

And

It Pleasures My Taste

Filling My Heart Mightily

And

Pointing Me Away

From Sin And Disgrace!

Again, And Again

I Taste Of The Pleasure

That To The Willing Soul You Provide

And

I Am Satisfied

That In Obedience To Your Word

That I Will Live E'er In Christ's Faith I Die!

Father, 

Please Remember Your Children

Walking On The To-Zion Road

And

Bless Them To Hold Truth Dear

And

Never Setting It Down

For Perishable Gold!

Lift Up The Tired Feet

Hold Up The Weary Head

Comfort The Brokenhearted

And

Guard The Fallen Saint In The Dusty Bed!

Pity The Pariah

Strengthen The Resolve

Of

The Faithful Perceived Weak

And

Judge Between The Wicked And The Good

And

Humble The Proud

Who Trample On The Meek!

And, Lord, 

I Pray For A Boon

For Your People Today:

Please Keep Us Faithful

Fervently Prayerful

Vigilantly Watchful

Trustingly Waiting

And

Committedly Working

For The True Spiritual Prosperity

For

The Dark Night Of Distress Is Nigh Unto Us!

Please Harken Unto Our Hearts' Call

And 

Save Us - You Promised -

Into Your Eternal Kingdom

And

As Also Promised

May Christ Jesus Come Soon On The Cloud 

In The Manner That No Devil Can Counterfeit! 

We Longingly Ask All In That Worthy Name!

We Love You, Lord!

AMEN.
