O'LORD...

Heavenly Lord, our God, our Father in Heaven and on earth and universes untold...

I first must thank You for Your loving-kindnesses and patience toward me that largely I cannot even fathom. I know my shortcomings... so I also know You are aware also. Yet the blood of my Savior stands fast with a power to wipe all my sins away. I recognize this mainly in Your Honor, O'LORD. There is nothing within me that could produce such love and power and ability to forgive as what You've graciously given me.

Secondly, I need to openly admit to You that I know my faults are mine. The enEmy has been upon me. Yes. O'LORD only You know what all tHEy have done against me, against my Brothers All, and all the snares tHEY set for us both while tHEy were upon us and even now that tHEy are gone. Never-the-less, at no time did anything ever come against me that isn't common to man in this day and time. My Lord, at one time my heart flowed so freely in You... in the simple times of great and wonderful ignorance. It is so easy to raise my hands unto You, God, when the times are simple, smooth, and unknowing in the ways of the world, thus the enEmy that now seeks us out. But I am so sorry that when tests came my way, instead of keeping my eyes and heart on You, Father, I instead eventually turned my mind from You that I may have things my way, which I always knew were not Your ways.

My loving, mighty Savior and my Lord Jesus... I kneel before You this morning recognizing my own self to be above no other. I feel akin to David, in that I have never lost my love for You? But I have also been too willing to compromise Your instruction... compromise Your ways, to satisfy a dark and twisted flesh. I no more deserve to have Your Tent round about me than David did. In so many ways I have fallen. And not only has it been me that I have influenced, but a great many of those around me, some of which have relied upon me to be the man YOU have called me to be, O'LORD. I have failed them. I have failed against my own self. I could not even carry out my wicked desire for revenge against man and enEmy alike because You would not allow the most eVil of my desires. My ways have been made useless because my eyes were not upon You and my heart rebellious to Your way. In all my ways, You know them all, I have failed You... my Lord. So many ways I have failed You when I could have stood strong and unwavering with You by my side if my eyes were but upon You...

Lord Jesus... I am sorry for taking advantage of You... for taking advantage of all You've given me, ...for turning my back on You in so many ways... and for thinking You would be there for me no matter what. Which You are. Your faithfulness cannot be comprehended my the human mind in a state such as mine. But I am sick in that sorrow, my Lord. My heart is sick. I am sorry, yes, but moreso, I repent. I have so many crooked ways round about me, Lord. Only You can straighten my ways. In every major way I am not a conduit of neither Your love, Your forgiveness, nor in understanding and wisdom. I have puffed myself up in my own eyes and become a fool in my heart. I repent, my Lord. I repent. Enable me, oh Holy Spirit. Once again have reign in my heart and mind. I give this unto You.

I once thought myself void of pride and have found iT at every turn within me for years now, Lord Jesus. I know better now what You detest iT. There is nothing good within it... nothing good of iT within me. Yet iT still remains. Purge me of my pride. Give me Your knowledge, Your WISDOM to use that knowledge. Some things are more than I can bear within myself. I ask Your remedy in those things too, Lord. Soooo many things must be righted for my life to reflect Your image, O'LORD. Please bring that back to me... grant me all that I need within myself so I can simply be a reflection of You to this hurting and dieing world. I know that's my only purpose here, God.

My family needs the person of knowledge, wisdom, love and leadership that You, Yourself have directed among us. My lord Jesus... I have not been that man for a very long time. I know that You are the Father of the fatherless... and though my grandchildren are not exactly so, I know they are in Your divine care. Give them the mother and father upon this earth that they so desperately need... that can show them Your ways, Your love... Show them that You are right there as they cuddle under Your wing, Father God. Restore my entire family to that which is even beyond what it used to me, in the way we looked to You for our answers and our life.

O'LORD, I have spent my time with fools that opposed me unaware...and I have learned thEir ways. In many ways of this flesh, tHEy prevailed against me of my own accord. I have put thEir ways into the practice of my life. I have loosed my flesh upon other men that tHEy may know the pain of which I have felt, provided by the eVil oNe, but consciously submitted myself to in secret. I, myself, bow in repentance before You, Father God. I no longer wish to lend myself unto eVil purposes.

You have placed Your foot upon the throat of mine enEmies, O'LORD... Grant me now the power to do the same within my mind and heart. I pray for my Brothers All in this same regard. Grant me power over darKNess that lingers, intending to influence my life is ways that are not Your ways. Enble me with the power to also crush this darKNess... to purge it from my mind and heart and restore my soul, my mighty and loving Savior...my Lord... Jesus Christ. On my own I cannot rebuke any eVil. But with You standing for me, Oh LORD, even the deMons in hell and on earth cower and shake...tremble with fear with but the sound of Your voice! In YOUR MIGHTY NAME, my Lord JESUS, rebuke these influences of darKNess from upon me, my life and all those associated with me! CONTINUE to put not only my enEmies, but Yours also, to shame with the testimony of whatever life I have yet to live upon this earth. I ask this for myself and my Brothers All, Lord Jesus.

I am so needy. I have nothing of my own volition to offer. But that's why it amazes me to know that in my own weakness (which is a drastic understatement in description), You are made strong. I do not expect these things of myself, oh Lord... But so many times Your gifts have fallen right out of the sky... present on a morning where they were not the evening before within me, this is what I continue to expect and ask for from You. Divine intervention of the most personal kind is my reliance, Lord, God. I will look, listen and pay attention to anything...whatever You direct. Direct my steps, O'LORD. Lead me, and I will follow.

I cannot express my thankfulness for the things and the people You continue to bring into my life that minister to me when I deserve absolutely nothing. For these willing vessels I also pray, that they continue to be blessed by Your direction and wisdom... that You protect us all mentally, physically and spiritually... Lead us all, remind us to keep our Armor on and our Swords at the ready, our shield held high that guard us from the oh so many fiery arrows of our adversaries...

My Lord... precious Jesus...The Christ... The God of Abraham, Matthew and Michael... thank You for hearing me and providing me a way to Your Throne through the most loving Sacrifice ever made for any man.

Bless us, Oh God... Bless us... with the things we know we need, but also with the great many things we know not that we need, that we may live the lives you wish us to live...

In Jesus' Precious Name... to YOU, O' My LORD GOD only will I EVER pray...

Thank You, Father God... Thank You, Lord Jesus... and my thanks for the Holy Spirit who teaches us all things...

Amen and amen.
