Touch Us With The Breath Of Your Holiness, Love, And Forgiveness

Consider and hear me, O Lord my God, lighten mine eyes, lest I sleep the sleep of death. Lest the enemy (satan) say, "I have prevailed against him, and those that troubled me rejoice when I am moved. ~ But I have trusted in thy mercy: my heart shall rejoice in thy salvation. I will sing unto the Lord, because He hath dealt bountifully with me. ~ Psalm 13

Lord, your mercies are from everlasting. Great is your Name in all of eternity. There is none like you. Enter our hearts and change our lives for without your loving care and grace we are as prey to the enemy (satan). Unto thee, O Lord, do I lift up my soul; let me not be ashamed, let not mine enemies triumph over me.

I long to see your goodness in the land of the living. You have opened my eyes to see the goodness and mercy of God. The mysteries of ages past are within my grasp. Lord, open our eyes to behold wonderful things in your Word. Let your presence be full in this life. Not only for myself do I ask, but for my family, loved ones, children, and grandchildren, the body of Christ, as well as the saved and the lost.

I pray that you surround us all with your special graces so that we can rise above the all that is contrary to your perfect will for our lives. Only your Holy Spirit in a human life can truly set us free from the captivity of the enemy (satan). Touch us with your breath of holiness, love, and forgiveness.

Be the God who has called us out of darkness and into your great and incomprehensible light. Change our hearts within where no one can ~ where only you can complete such a work. "Not by might, nor by power, but by your Holy Spirit!", saith the Lord of Hosts.

Plant your seed within us and cause it to grow by the light of your countenance, the presence of your Holy Spirit, your unfailing love, and the hope that has been revealed to us through the scriptures.

Awaken us in the morning with a holy kiss and not the curse of depression. Lead us and guide us through the day and cause our hearts to trust in you. Sustain us, God Jesus, with the strength of your arms which are not too short or weak to save.

We are weary of the exploitation and troubles that the enemy (satan) plots against us (your children). Lord, arise through the power of your Name, the power that God alone has given you. Let us feast in the victory that you won for humanity on Calvary. Show us the way to the Kingdom of God. Plant the seed of this Kingdom within our hearts, souls, and minds.

Help us to never lose hope in the promises written in your Word and demonstrated to us through the live that you led here on earth so that we can have the opportunity for salvation, eternal life, and freedom from the ugliness and condemnation that has caused us to sin and do so many things that a Holy God can never accept in His presence.

Kiss me in the morning, Lord, and let me feel your loving presence and guide me into a brand new day and life so that I can truly be a child of God, and do only those things that are pleasing onto God the Father. Help me to turn my will and my life over to the care of the one true God who really cares. The God who created everything, including me, for the purpose of bringing joy and happiness to His loving and open heart.

God Jesus, rescue the captives, those, Lord, who live so far away from the knowledge of your saving grace. Make me willing, Lord, to raise my voice and say, "Yes, Lord Jesus, God of righteousness and glory ~ I will come to your table, and eat your words, and go to the world to share your perfect plan ~ to draw all men unto the Father, the God who really cares!"

Help me, God, for I am a filthy person, a sinner whose only hope of salvation is through the cleansing blood of Christ. I need you so much in my life, Lord, for I know that I am really nothing without your active Holy Spirit helping me to turn my will and my life over to your perfect plan for my life.

Reach out to me with your holy arm, which is not too short or weak to save a hopeless sinner like me. Forgive me, Lord, for my sins are many, to numerous to count. Help me, Lord, to change the course of my life. Help me, Lord, to turn around and start afresh for I am looking for a blessing from the Lord. A way to serve your purposes, to stand in a place of reconciliation so that I can stop blindly sinning for I want to serve you, Lord Jesus.

I want to walk with you all the days of my life. I want to tell others the good news and point the way, your way ~ for you are the way, the truth, and the life. There is no darkness in your presence, Lord, for only you can reach into the depths of our filthiness and shame and plant the seed of God into the mud and mire that our lives have become.

Only you can send the sunshine of your Son, and the nurturing of the rain of your Holy Spirit ~ to cause us to become new creatures in Christ Jesus. Thank you, Lord, for never giving up your confidence in us. Thank you Jesus, for the sacrifice of your life. For dying on a horrible and lonely cross in my place. Thank you, Lord, for triumphing over the enemy (satan).

May the resurrection be realized as you arise in my own heart, soul, and mind. I wait upon you, Lord Jesus, the one true God, who has begun such a right and good work in me. I now rest in the promise that you will never leave or forsake me and that you alone will bring this good work to completion. Your desire is the salvation of our souls. Lord Jesus, God the Father, and the Holy Spirit ~ I trust in the capacity you alone possess to cause life to spring from the depths of darkness, despair, depression, and hopelessness. Praise your Holy Name.

In the Name of Jesus I write these things ~ Amen ><>

I will sing unto the Lord, because He hath dealt bountifully with me!
