Let This Cup Pass From Me

Profound Understanding

My Papaw Tollett was a Missionary Baptist preacher.

What he lacked in physical stature, he more than made up for in spiritual boldness.

He was a pillar of our church.  A strong cornerstone – not one to ever shy away from the Truth.

God’s Plan

Dear Lord,

Help me to have faith that You are in control of my life.  Help me to recognize Satan’s attempts to sabotage my faith.  Give me the strength to drive him out of my thoughts so my true focus can be on You.  Let me live to serve You, oh Lord!

In Jesus Precious Name,

Amen

Just Do It!

If I worked all day, every day, for the rest of my life, it would never be enough.  I, in my imperfection, my sin, my absolute ‘humanness’ could never do enough.  No matter how pure my intentions, or how true my heart, I can never reach this pinnacle I thought I had to reach in order to be able to serve the Lord.  I can’t wait until I’ve finally reached this level of Nirvana, that does not exist, to serve God.  I have to serve Him now.

Have Thine Own Way

Have Thine own way Lord

Have Thine own way

Thou art the potter, I am the clay

Mold me and make me after Thy will

While I am waiting yielded and still

Lord, this is all I truly want.  For You to have Your will fulfilled in me.  Whatever You want me to do, wherever You want me to go, I want only that.  I am ready and willing to serve You, and I pray that You will use me to bring glory to Your great name.  Help me to know my calling.  To hear Your voice, and have no doubt.  To have the strength and the grace to pick up my cross and follow You.  These things I pray in Jesus Holy Name.

Amen

A Prayer for Prayer

Dear Lord,

Thank You for the many blessings You have bestowed upon me.  I pray now Lord, to be blessed with an all consuming passion for prayer.  To communicate with You daily.  To have a deep desire to bring all things to You in prayer.  To defeat the devil and bring glory to Your name.

Amen

The Troubles of the Day

Dear Lord,

Please help me to put away the troubles of the day, so I may rejoice in You with the fullness of my heart.  Help me put You foremost in my thoughts, so I may draw ever closer to You.  This I pray dear Lord, so I may feel You in the flutter of my soul.

In Jesus Holy Name,

Amen

Veterans Day 2016

 

Praise the Lord we live in a country where men and women have, and do, volunteer to put their lives on the line for us.  “No one has greater love than this, that someone would lay down his life for his friends.” John 15:13   Today is the day we should all stop and spend some time praying for our military, past and present, who live all over the world.  May God Bless Them All!
