• Teach Me

  In Prayers, SeriousFaith / 24 September 2012 / 2 comments

  

  NOTE: For a couple of years I’ve been writing a book of prayers… here’s a new one from today for however it might bless you. Brent Teach Me God & Father, Teach me to know that if Jesus Christ has satisfied all the requirements of your divine justice, He can easily rescue me from my sinfulness. Teach me that Jesus doesn’t want to see me living in my own strength and fragile self-confidence, But rather living fully justified and empowered by the Spirit to a life of victorious obedience. Teach me that the Spirit of God and His power are mine because of what Christ accomplished on my behalf; That the Spirit within me satisfies the Law without. Teach me to thank You for every [...]

   

• Jesus Alone

  In Happy, Prayers, SeriousFaith / 21 November 2011 / 1 comment

  Jesus Alone My God, The common thread in Your Grand Plan, The chief aim of Your Undeterred Will, Is to glorify Your Beloved Son on earth And in heaven where He is now ascended. One day, all the saved will behold His magnificent glory And love Him, glorify Him and worship Him forever. I am only capable of loving Jesus but a little right now; I long for the day when a full portion will be mine. Today is just a beginning, a glimpse, a taste, Of the fullness in Christ that awaits us in eternity. You have allowed us to see Your Son, to know Him; Even if through a glass darkly now, we still Take Him, receive Him; Hear Him, possess Him; Worship [...]

   

• Simple Devotion

  In Prayers, SeriousFaith / 26 October 2011 / 1 comment

  Glorious God, My transgressions against Your holiness have filled my whole life; My sins have been countless and blatant. My conscience speaks out against me; My friends know how sinful I am; I feel guilty around those who really are faithful; I have been rebuked by God; God’s mercy inflames my guiltiness. You have seen my sins and You would be justified punishing and rejecting me; Yet, You spare me because You are merciful; You are gracious to me and help me; You’ve invited me to fellowship with You. With gratefulness, I accept Your invitation; I embrace Your goodness and marvel at Your mercy. I believe in the luxurious redemption of Jesus; I appeal to Him for my salvation; I gladly accept and obey His [...]

   

• True Christianity

  In Prayers, SeriousFaith / 20 October 2011 / 3 comments

  God Almighty, I don’t want to be numbered with the popular or the worldly successful; But rather to be counted by You as spiritually blessed. Make it my high priority and singular focus to obtain the blessings from You which are… Divine in nature; Eternal in importance; Satisfying to the soul. Protect me from being deceived about my own character either in part or whole. Help me to pay attention not only to my actions, but to my motives and attitudes. Help me to never mistake my personal passion or desire for the prompting of the Holy Spirit; Never to measure faith by feelings, circumstances, impression, impulses or superstitious signs; But rather teach me to recognize the moving of the Spirit in my life by [...]

   

• In My Weakness

  In Prayers, SeriousFaith / 19 October 2011 / 3 comments

  Spirit of the Living God, Help me when I am weak. When life is crushing me with loads of sorrow or uncertainty; when I’m confused and don’t know what to do; when people talk bad about me and mistreat me; when the weight of my sin presses down on me; I need your help. If You see me holding on to any sin; If there is any evil I take joy in; If I have any habit that causes You grief; If there is any wickedness at home in my heart; I pray for your help and forgiveness, And ask You to teach me what is right. Deliver me from worry and anxiety. Help me to be holy and full of joy. Help me to [...]

   

• True Happiness

  In Happy, Prayers, SeriousFaith / 15 October 2011 / 2 comments

  Lord God, Remind me always that true happiness is not found in this sin-cursed world, but only in You. Keep me from ever thinking that I would be more happy pursuing MY desires when the truth is I can only be happy when I am living first for You. When I do lose focus and start striving for what the world offers, I pray You would remove any joy from it so that I would return fully to You. Teach me if I don’t live my life fully dedicated to You it will be a life that does not satisfy me. Help me to be like the angels who patiently serve, who come into this world to do Your will, who do not long for [...]
