When It Comes to Praying Sm-sm-sm-smoothly

-


 Lord, i pray that You would keep R. healthy and feeling energized and kept awake.  Keep Your loving hand over him.  In Jesus' name.  Amen

i must remember to pray for my brother, my community, my Journey, and even for those who anger me and perform adversarial roles on this journey so i can allow the Spirit of God to work through me so that i can show Jesus to the world.  i don't want to short circuit what God wants to do, so i must pray.  i must talk to Him on my walks, like i did this morning and look what happened.  i had a credit to my bill.  i hadn't known about it, so now i can invest in more resources that'll help me praise God more.

O Lord, take that Jezebel spirit from C., totally eradicate it from her.  It's her i adore, it's that spirit i despise.  Rise up, Lord!  Dissipate the spirit that separates her from You.  Help her to walk the walk with Jesus and not just talk the talk about Jesus; and as i pray this, Lord, heal me so that i can further my walk with You day by day.  Teach me true prayer.  i can be like Moses or Mel Tillis when it comes to praying sm-sm-sm-smoothly.  Help me keep the line of communication open with You throughout the day so i'm not distracted by people or things which separate me from You.

Thank You for increasing my job in this time of blessing.  Keep me balanced and keep my attention focused on Your attributes.  From my weakness to Your strength.  There is someone in my life whose strength is my weakness.  You know who that is.  Keep me pure by keeping Your eye on me and Your hand on my shoulder.  i know i breathe easier when Your hand is pushing me gently in the small of my back from the rising of the sun to the place where it sets.  May i search Your kingdom and Your righteousness--[Matthew 6:33] so i can be a blessing to others.  In Jesus's name.  Amen

 As He taught them a shadow of the cross fell across the old testament and their "eyes were opened."  He was that ram at Abraham's alter.  He was that spotless Passover Lamb whose blood was shed to bring freedom from slavery and deliverance from death.  He was that scarlet thread that hung out Rahab's window.  The Shepherd King:  David spoke so much about Him in the Psalter.  He was Isaiah's suffering servant, the fourth man in the furnace with Shadrach, Meshash, and Abed-Nego.  And yet He will never vanish from my sight unless i allow it.  Jesus' purpose isn't to push Himself onto anyone.  As humans, as mortals, He wants us to come to Him.  That's probably the only Hunger He ever has!  Is for us to come to Him.  i was the other disciple walking along the road to Emmaus.  i've gone from the road to Damascus to the road to Emmaus.  i've been writing about what Christ has done for me. Praise goes to the Lord! ...

Having Seen the Lord on the Road

 1 Timothy:  Make sure no other doctrine is taught, no fables which cause dispute, where there is no godly edification. Timothy, prevent the spread of false teaching. Legalists cannot mix law and grace.  They engage in idle talk, having strayed with their meaningless babble.  The law is not made for the righteous person, but for the lawless, ungodly, unholy, and profane, something of which i was guilty for so long and even have the temptation to fall back into the pit from time to time.  i obtained God's mercy because i committed those wrongs in unbelief, or as a back-slider and as someone prone to worldly and fleshly desire and lust. Now i believe in Jesus Christ and only by His grace will i obtain everlasting life.  Grace by faith and trust in Him.  In Him alone.  If i were to be a young man's mentor, i would want to be a quiet encourager, a serene influence, i would want to interest him by saying as little meaningless babble as possible and lea...

When I Haven't Removed the Plank From My Own Eye

Heavenly Father, help me align myself to Your will.  Shall i take advantage of the free time and begin at the seminary?  Could i use this motel room as a sanctuary despite the distractions?  Please help me before idolatry decays my soul any further.  Don't let this defeating habit in my life rob me of my confidence in Your power to give me victory over sin making me hesitant to offer Christ as the answer to others controlled by sin.  Don't let this habit destroy my incentive to share my faith because of feeling like a hypocrite.  How could i witness to others when i haven't removed the plank from my own eye? --[Matthew 7: 1-5] Sin always results in death of some kind. It is worth the continual struggle to combat temptation.  The awful, never-ending process of combating temptation is God's means of maturing me and confirming me to the image of Christ.  To throw my hands up in defeat is to abandon the process and to miss out on life's most important...
