Let us celebrate our good God.
A Servant’s Prayer
Use me, lord.
What is Thy will?
I am Yours
Even when still
Let my heart
Follow You
I know Your way
Is ever true
You give me joy
Every day
Make my heart sing
Come what may
All my tomorrows
Forever Yours
As I walk this path
To Heaven’s doors
As I Follow
Close to Thee
Thy loving grace
Has been my key
You gave me life, Lord
and filled my soul
This worthless empty shell
Has been made whole
Your words and music
Fill my Heart, Lord
Let’s spread Your love
And its rewards.
Amen.
I join in prayer for President Bush, the Administration and our heroes standing in harm’s way!
AMEN SISTER AND GRACE TO ALL CHRISTIAN PATRIOTS!
Psalms 65:1
To the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David. A Song. Praise is awaiting You, O God, in Zion; And to You the vow shall be performed.
Psalms 65:2
O You who hear prayer, To You all flesh will come.
Psalms 65:3
Iniquities prevail against me; As for our transgressions, You will provide atonement for them.
Psalms 65:4
Blessed is the man You choose, And cause to approach You, That he may dwell in Your courts. We shall be satisfied with the goodness of Your house, Of Your holy temple.
Psalms 65:5
By awesome deeds in righteousness You will answer us, O God of our salvation, You who are the confidence of all the ends of the earth, And of the far-off seas;
Psalms 65:6
Who established the mountains by His strength, Being clothed with power;
Psalms 65:7
You who still the noise of the seas, The noise of their waves, And the tumult of the peoples.
Psalms 65:8
They also who dwell in the farthest parts are afraid of Your signs; You make the outgoings of the morning and evening rejoice.
Psalms 65:9
You visit the earth and water it, You greatly enrich it; The river of God is full of water; You provide their grain, For so You have prepared it.
Psalms 65:10
You water its ridges abundantly, You settle its furrows; You make it soft with showers, You bless its growth.
Psalms 65:11
You crown the year with Your goodness, And Your paths drip with abundance.
Psalms 65:12
They drop on the pastures of the wilderness, And the little hills rejoice on every side.
Psalms 65:13
The pastures are clothed with flocks; The valleys also are covered with grain; They shout for joy, they also sing.
(NKJV)
“Thy paths drop fatness.”
- Psalm 65:11
Many are “the paths of the Lord” which “drop fatness,” but an especial one
is the path of prayer. No believer, who is much in the closet, will have
need to cry, “My leanness, my leanness; woe unto me.” Starving souls live
at a distance from the mercy- seat, and become like the parched fields in
times of drought. Prevalence with God in wrestling prayer is sure to make
the believer strong-if not happy. The nearest place to the gate of heaven
is the throne of the heavenly grace. Much alone, and you will have much
assurance; little alone with Jesus, your religion will be shallow,
polluted with many doubts and fears, and not sparkling with the joy of the
Lord.
Since the soul-enriching path of prayer is open to the very weakest
saint; since no high attainments are required; since you are not bidden to
come because you are an advanced saint, but freely invited if you be a
saint at all; see to it, dear reader, that you are often in the way of
private devotion.
Be much on your knees, for so Elijah drew the rain upon famished Israel’s
fields.
There is another especial path dropping with fatness to those who walk
therein, it is the secret walk of communion. Oh! the delights of
fellowship with Jesus! Earth hath no words which can set forth the holy
calm of a soul leaning on Jesus’ bosom. Few Christians understand it, they
live in the lowlands and seldom climb to the top of Nebo: they live in the
outer court, they enter not the holy place, they take not up the privilege
of priesthood.
At a distance they see the sacrifice, but they sit not down with the
priest to eat thereof, and to enjoy the fat of the burnt offering.
But, reader, sit thou ever under the shadow of Jesus; come up to that
palm tree, and take hold of the branches thereof; let thy beloved be unto
thee as the apple-tree among the trees of the wood, and thou shalt be
satisfied as with marrow and fatness.
O Jesus, visit us with thy salvation!

SOLI DEO GLORIA!
I join you all in prayer for President Bush, our country, our troops in harm’s way, world leaders, and the LOST—that the veil will lift from their eyes to see the ONE and ONLY living God!
I pray for our Father to heal our land, and for His Will to be done. I thank Him for ALL the gifts and blessings He has bestowed upon us and PRAISE His Holy name! I pray for His continued Hand of protection over us and that with repentent hearts, we will seek His face. I praise and thank Him for the progress in Iraq—for the fact that not a SINGLE bomb or IED or attack was reported in Iraq yesterday! Hallelujah! I continue to pray for changed hearts throughout the world. To God goes ALL the glory!
In Jesus’ precious name, AMEN!
Amen, I too am grateful that we have a President who is compelled to answer to a higher power.
