Forgive Me For Ignoring Your Wisdom

-

 Heavenly Father,

Teach me self-control and forgive me for ignoring Your wisdom.  Keep me courageous in facing the adversity and help me to want to rejoice whenever my faith in You is tested.  Let me leave this world having no financial responsibilities.  And thank You, Lord Jesus, for taking my sin debt upon Yourself and paying it on the cross.  In Your name I pray.  

Lift up those behind bars.  I know I could've been there myself on a few occasions in this journey You have me on.  I know You forgave me for my sins that would have warranted that.  And I ask You to influence them.  May they seek the truth of Your love through the Gospel.  In Jesus' name I pray.

May I never fall into the trap of questioning anybody else's fitness to begin their journey with You!  And show me to love as You loved, even the disagreeable Christians!  May I begin to listen twice as much as I talk. Show me how to disagree without being disagreeable.  Help us all to uphold Biblical values, regardless of our political and social beliefs.  In Jesus' name. 

Help me to be faithful wherever You place me.  You are my faithful Employer and You're watching me on the security camera ready to protect me.  Fill me with Your spirit in understanding, in knowledge, and in all kinds of craftmanship and skills.  Every good and perfect gift comes from You.  Help me to strive for excellence in everything I pursue so that I can shun mediocrity, impurity, and falsehood.

Grant mercy to the persecutors and justice for the persecuted.  What others mean for evil, You use for good.  Empower me to love my enemies, to do good to those who hate and mistreat me with their backstabbing gossip and toxicity.  May I take full advantage of my freedom to love You and others and help me to follow Your guidance in doing so.  

Amen

They Do Evil Before Your Eyes

Abba Father, may i be slow to speak against and curse at those who proclaim to be Christians who are only lending lip service.  Those who bear no fruit who perform fake actions and provide no service to You.  May You always reform me by removing the constant flow of impurities that i may put into my heart and brain.  i have no excuses. i only have responsibilities.  Refine and make me stronger in Jesus' name.  Amen "He who kills a bull is as if he slays a man, He who sacrifices a lamb, as if he breaks a dog's neck; He who offers a grain offering, as if he offers swine's blood; He who burns incense, as if he blesses an idol.  Just as they have chosen their own ways, And their soul delights in their abominations, So I will choose their delusions, And bring their fears on them; Because when I called, no one answered, When I spoke they did not hear; But they did evil before My eyes, And chose that in which I do not delight."  -[Isaiah 66: 3-4] Use me, Abba...

 If they're gonna spy...stare...glare...sneer...spit at me, i'll give 'em something to spy...stare...glare...sneer...and spit at... Like the appearance of a rainbow in a cloud on a rainy day, so was the appearance of the brightness all around it.  This was the appearance of the likeness of the glory of the Lord. - [Ezekiel 1:28] As long as i hear what You are saying, Lord...that's all that matters.  I shall not murder, nor be afraid for my body should anyone consider murdering me, either randomly or premeditated; I have no fear of death because all but one of Your disciples were executed for Your name.  i shall lay down my life for another just as Jesus Christ had laid down His life for me.  Repentance is a wonderful gift You've granted me, and i humbly accept.  May i know and always be aware of Your Truth.  Repentance isn't a self-help tool.  It's a humble response to a good and holy God.   i am listening for whatever You deci...

Who Needs That?!

If i can stop smoking and looking into porn--that was a tough one and Satan still keeps me thinking about it--then i can get others to follow Jesus because Jesus is the key.  If i can be saved, help me save others in Jesus' name.  Amen  Abba Father, keep me humble, make me always aware that even my good deeds are worthless.  It doesn't matter.  The blood of Jesus is my only way into heaven.  Keep me on the narrow path and bless me with blessing others by getting on the narrow path as well.  Bless and preserve and protect the likes of John MacArthur and Jonathan Kahn who seem to my human, mortal mind to be the ones to pay attention to.  i pray for the gay--that they will repent as i have--and i'm still working on it--repentance is a process.  Only by Your grace was i able to begin to change, Dear Lord.  Help me to clarify and strengthen my testimony, focusing on Your doing and may others not confuse me for some "special" person who has so...
