FATHER,
Give us an awakening in our spirits
We cry out to YOU GOD
Thank YOU for being in control
Thank YOU for who YOU are
Thank YOU that YOU are and always have been and always will BE
Forgive us and forgive our nation for turning away from YOU
We've turned our hearts away from YOU GOD
We've turned down YOUR blessings
We've paid the price for those actions...dearly
GOD, please renew our hearts and minds in Christ Jesus
Give us YOUR heart
Give us YOUR mind
Give us YOUR strength
Make us a holy and righteous people
Fully submitted to YOU
Fully submitted to YOUR WORD
Obedient
Faithful
Unselfish
Servant-Hearted
Loving
Caring
EVANGELIZING
UNCOMPROMISING
while still loving, caring and servant-hearted
Non-cannibalistic toward our brothers and sisters in JESUS CHRIST
Give us hearts that bleed for the lost
spirits that cry out for more of YOU
give us GODLY homes
loving families
Make us Great Examples of what YOU have done for us
Give us Holy Spirit fire
Don't let us settle
Don't allow us to grow cold or melancholy or apathetic
(key word = pathetic)
Give us GOD-produced drive to serve you every living moment
May our actions...
our words...
our thoughts...
our intentions...
our motivations...
our joy...
our excitement...
our peace...
come from YOU ALONE
and exhibit YOU ALONE
Help us to be real
to be tangible
to be transparently overwhelmed with the love of JESUS
Not worked up about the economy
Not wrapped up in the things of this world
Priority One=JESUS and His Kingdom and the furtherance of it
Help me to extend grace and servant hands to
my family
my Pastor and his family
my church leadership
my friends
my church family
my neighbors
my co-workers
my fellow drivers on Route 1
my grocery checkout person
my bank teller
the teenager that looks like a rebel without a cause just like I used to be
the mom who looks stressed out in WalMart
the coffee lady at Wawa
the Starbucks barista in the drive-through
my teenager's friends who "aren't quite there yet"
I could go on...
Don't miss an opportunity
to give JESUS
to anyone
anywhere
Don't miss out on personal time with GOD
every day
in a car, a boat, a plane or in your office
Get to know HIM - How?
Read HIS WORD
TALK to HIM...YES
Real conversation
Enjoy HIS presence today
as you bow your heart before HIM
Thank HIM for the opportunity
and massive privilege it is to know HIM and to be KNOWN by HIM
I am HIS and HE is mine
PRAY hard
Show JESUS
Love and Serve
and
Have FUN doing it!!!
