PRAYER: Father, I Will Not Complain ...!

Father,

There Are Days

When I Feel Like Complaining

But

Because I Have Signally Proved You

By Your Great Grace

I Shall Not

For

I Don't Want From Salvation's Redemption

My Name To Be Blot!

Lord,

I've Read The Account Of 

The Hebrews In The Desert, Who

Because Of Doubt

Murmuring

Constant Complaining

And Ingratitude

From The Promised Land

Were Decidedly Left Out

And

I Am Determined

No Matter Life's Provocations

That I Will Not

Against You

Manifest Sinful Doubt!

Help Me, Lord

Not To Charge You Foolishly

When Disobedience Causes Me

To Experience Pain

Or Sorrow

Or Want! 

Help Me, Lord

To Be Thankful

Acknowledging Your Blessings

Even As Stand

Ever Needing To Be Prayerful

Watchful

Waiting 

And Obeying!

I Have The Carnal Man's Blind Eyes!

I Have The Carnal Man's Deaf Ears!

I Have The Carnal Man's Stony Heart Hard

And

In Faith

I'm Petitioning

For A Spiritual Makeover

So That I Ever

Will Walk In Your Ways

And

In The Fullness Of Time

By Your High And Holy Hand

To Glorious Heaven

Be Delivered!

I Am Bound For The Promised Land

And

I Pray That I Will Never

Any Of Your Bounty Refuse

Nor

The Test Of Faith

To Prove Me A Humble Servant

Of

The Holy Estate

So, Please, I Beseech You

Teach Me

Lead Me

Guide Me

And When And As Necessary

Chastise Me

But, Lord, Please Keep Your Promise

And Never Forsake Me!

Please Help Me, Beloved Father

To Stand Resolute

In Jesus Christ's Holy Name

So That Satan Cannot Rejoice Over Me

As An Object Profane!

I Worship You! 

I Love You, Lord!

Home For Me

Is Where You Are

And

I Desire 

With My Whole Heart

To Occupy My Personal Dwelling

In The Great Reward!

Father,

I Bow To Your Sovereign Will

And

I Give You, Me

And

I Beseech You To Bless Me

To Humbly And Competently 

With Faith's Confidence 

Do Your Bidding

So That For Me

One Day

There Shall Be

Eternal Living!

Lord,

Please Help Me To Your Kingdom

To Be A Blessing!

Please Help Me On The World

Not To Be A Curse

And

Please Help Me To Abide Always

Under The Banner

Of

Truth And Faithfulness

So That I Maybe To You

A Kingdom Success!

You See All!

You Know All!

You're In All!

You Feel All

And

I Bless You, Lord

For Loving

And

Caring For Me

A Child Of The Fall!

Thank You For Hearing

And

Thank You For Answering My Prayers

Even If The Answer Is "No!"

Please Make Your Desire For My Life

My Desire As Well

For

In Jesus Christ's Holy Name

I Humbly Plead!

Come Soon, Lord!

AMEN.

Should I Let The Savior In?!

I Sat
AND 
I Thought
AND 
I Thought Some More!
Should I Ask The Lord To Search Me?
Should I Let Him Enter
Into My Personal Heart's Door?
Should I Really Bid Him Enter?
Should I Give Him The Grand Tour?
Should I ... Should I Let My Savior Enter?
Should I Let Him Through My Most Private Door?

Should I Let The Savior Try Me?
Should I Make Him Privy To My Thoughts?
Should I Let Him See The Darkness?
Should I Let Him View The Ugly Truth Distorts?
Should I Let Him See My Treasured Hopes?
My Hidden Desires Of The Night?
Should I Let Him See The Passions
Against Which I Constantly Fight?

Should I Let Him See The Real Me?
Insecurities And All?
Should I Let Him See Those Things 
That By Satan I Did Fall?
Should I Bare My Own Soul
To My Maker And My King
AND
Give Him A Carte Blanche
To Fix Me Up
For Once And For All?

I Thought Me A Little Thought
AND
I Got Tired Of The Thinks
So
I Uttered A Simple Prayer
AND
Opened The Door - 
No More High Jinks!

The Master Quietly Entered In
AND
I Longingly Looked At Him
AND
In His Face
I Saw The Blessing
For Which I Had Been Avidly 
Instinctively
Seeking!

In His Beautiful
Marred Face
I Saw Plainly 
His Bold Love
AND
In His Hand Was Marked:

"Come Home To Me, My Love!"

In His Warm Embrace
I Encountered
Perfect Peace 
AND
Sweet Rest
AND
In His Ear
I - Bestirred -
Uttered
Everything
That Had To Be Confessed!

When It Was All Over
I Could Not Let Him Go
AND
In Loving Affinity
He Held Me Close
Asking Me
To Love
AND
Trust Him
AND
Walk With Him Ever
Even Unto Eternity!

With My Heart Strongly Beating
AND
Seemingly
Floating On The Air
I Said:

"Lead Me, Dear Master

Into The Everlasting Way

For Yours Is The Only Voice

My Heart Desires To Hear

AND

Your Presence

Is All

My Soul Desires

To Be Near!"

In Truth
I Here Acknowledge
My Soul Has Found Its Resting Place
Perfect 
For All My Need
I Lean On That Amazing Love
AND
Daily Safely Feed!

What About You?!

Have You 

Opened Your Heart 

To The Master?
