Being Like My Father

Father Lord

I know you are up there. Actually, I know you are right here with me
CLose to me. In my heart
But Lord, please let me feel you closer.
Let me feel your arms around me.
Thank you for this extravagant mercy you show me and mine
Melt my heart . Let it love like yours
Touch my mouth. Let it speak like yours
Hold me. So that I can reach out and love others too.
In Jesus Christ name. Amen!

Draw me closer Lord!

Dear Lord and Father, I commit myself anew to spend a daily time with You in Bible reading and prayer. I realise that the object is not just to get to know more about You but to develop my personal relationship with You. Friend to friend. Servant to Lord. I promise to spend time each day with You and I know that my spiritual life depends on it.

Dear Lord and Father, please refresh my commitment to worshipping You together with other believers each week. Deliver me from just ‘attending meetings’ and help me to see each time of worship as an opportunity to meet with you.

Lord and Merciful Father, remind me to talk to you throughout the day. Teach me to carry on a regular conversation with you in the quietness of my own heart, depending on you as problems arise and rejoicing in you as victories come.

Father Lord, I know that Your Supper is not just a religious ritual. Whenever I do this, it will be in remembrance of you, my best friend and my living Lord.

All these things I ask you in Jesus Christ name. Amen!

Light Enough For The Step I Am On!

This was Stormie Omartian’s prayer
Lord I echo it today.
I want to remain on the Path of Life
But I tend to either be in the ditch of Legalism
Or the ditch of Lawlessness.
Both on either side of the Path.
Today, I run to the cross for help
I want to kill the little fox that
Wants to kill me
Lord, Hear from your throne in Heaven
And send down help to me your child
I need it desperately.
Thank you
In Jesus name. Amen!

Excellent IGSCEs for Your son

Dear Lord and Father

Thank you for the privilege of calling you Father
Thank you for the privilege you have given me to be mother.
My son, Your son is sitting his IGSCEs right now. In fact he is half way through
Thanks for the victories you have given him so far.
I simply ask for you to continue to be with him
SO that he will come out ten times better than his peers
Let him excel in all his papers O lord even as you spirit of excellence rests on him
Let your Spirit guide him as he writes and help him to remember all that he has studied.
Lord, according to your promise, let him be head and not tails in this exam
To the glory of your name forever.
In Jesus Christ’s name. Amen!
