Prayer for January 2012

“VAU -
Let Thy mercies come also unto me, O LORD, even Thy salvation, according to Thy word. So shall I have wherewith to answer him that reproacheth me: for I trust in Thy word. And take not the word of truth utterly out of my mouth; for I have hoped in Thy judgments. So shall I keep Thy law continually for ever and ever. And I will walk at liberty: for I seek Thy precepts. I will speak of Thy testimonies also before kings, and will not be ashamed. And I will delight myself in Thy commandments, which I have loved. My hands also will I lift up unto Thy commandments, which I have loved; and I will meditate in Thy statutes.”  Psalm 119:41-48 (KJV)

December Twenty Eleven Prayer

“HE – Teach me, O LORD, the way of Thy statutes; and I shall keep it unto the end.  Give me understanding, and I shall keep Thy law; yea, I shall observe it with my whole heart.  Make me to go in the path of Thy commandments; for therein do I delight.  Incline my heart unto Thy testimonies, and not to covetousness.  Turn away mine eyes from beholding vanity; and quicken Thou me in Thy way.  Stablish Thy word unto Thy servant, who is devoted to Thy fear.  Turn away my reproach which I fear: for Thy judgments are good.  Behold, I have longed after Thy precepts: quicken me in Thy righteousness.”  Psalm 119:33-40 (KJV)

I will praise the LORD with my whole Heart

“Praise ye the LORD. I will praise the LORD with my whole heart, in the assembly of the upright, and in the congregation.   The works of the LORD are great, sought out of all them that have pleasure therein.  His work is honourable and glorious: and His righteousness endureth for ever.  He hath made His wonderful works to be remembered: the LORD is gracious and full of compassion.  He hath given meat unto them that fear Him: He will ever be mindful of His covenant.
He hath shewed his people the power of His works, that He may give them the heritage of the heathen.  The works of His hands are verity and judgment; all His commandments are sure.  They stand fast for ever and ever, and are done in truth and uprightness.   He sent redemption unto His people: He hath commanded His covenant for ever: holy and reverend is His name.  The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: a good understanding have all they that do His commandments: His praise endureth for ever.”  Psalm 111:1-10 (KJV)

‘Let my cry come near before Thee, O LORD: give me understanding according to Thy word.  Let my supplication come before Thee: deliver me according to Thy word.  My lips shall utter praise, when Thou hast taught me Thy statutes.  My tongue shall speak of Thy word: for all Thy commandments are righteousness. Let Thine hand help me; for I have chosen Thy precepts.  I have longed for Thy salvation, O LORD; and Thy law is my delight. Let my soul live, and it shall praise Thee; and let Thy judgments help me. I have gone astray like a lost sheep; seek Thy servant; for I do not forget Thy commandments.”  Psalm 119:169-176 (KJV)

“SCHIN – Princes have persecuted me without a cause: but my heart standeth in awe of Thy word. I rejoice at Thy word, as one that findeth great spoil. I hate and abhor lying: but Thy law do I love.

“RESH – Consider mine affliction, and deliver me: for I do not forget Thy law. Plead my cause, and deliver me: quicken me according to Thy word. Salvation is far from the wicked: for they seek not Thy statutes. Great are Thy tender mercies, O LORD: quicken me according to Thy judgments. Many are my persecutors and mine enemies; yet do I not decline from Thy testimonies. I beheld the transgressors, and was grieved; because they kept not Thy word. Consider how I love Thy precepts: quicken me, O LORD, according to Thy lovingkindness. Thy word is true from the beginning: and every one of Thy righteous judgments endureth for ever.”  Psalms 119:153-160 (KJV)

“KOPH – I cried with my whole heart; hear me, O LORD: I will keep Thy statutes. I cried unto Thee; save me, and I shall keep Thy testimonies. I prevented the dawning of the morning, and cried: I hoped in Thy word. Mine eyes prevent the night watches, that I might meditate in Thy word. Hear my voice according unto Thy lovingkindness: O LORD, quicken me according to Thy judgment. They draw nigh that follow after mischief: they are far from Thy law. Thou art near, O LORD; and all Thy commandments are truth. Concerning Thy testimonies, I have known of old that Thou hast founded them for ever.” Psalm 119:145-152 (KJV)

You may notice that I have changed the name of this prayer blog.  You may still leave your request.

I do want all to know that my praying is directed toward the Creator of all that is; His name is Jesus the Christ, Son of the Living God.  He died on the cross for the sins of mankind, was buried carrying our sins and its guilt and shame away, rising again from the dead justifying us forever in the sight of God; for all who believe Him.

Hebrews 4:16 says,

“Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.”  Hebrews 4:16

Jesus has provided that way before the throne of God; therefore I have changed the name to “At GOD’s Throne”.

Pray for my Dad

Yesterday (8/16/11) my Dad had a heart attack.  We took him to the emergency room in Springfield, MO.  They took him to the cardiac Cath Lab, and the doc came out and said they couldn’t get to the clogged artery, and were going to treat  it with medicine, and keep him for three days.  Mike Blankenship is his name.  Thanks.

“TZADDI. Righteous art Thou, O LORD, and upright are Thy judgments. Thy testimonies that Thou hast commanded are righteous and very faithful.  My zeal hath consumed me, because mine enemies have forgotten Thy words.  Thy word is very pure: therefore Thy servant loveth it.  I am small and despised: yet do not I forget Thy precepts.  Thy righteousness is an everlasting righteousness, and Thy law is the truth.  Trouble and anguish have taken hold on me: yet Thy commandments are my delights.  The righteousness of Thy testimonies is everlasting: give me understanding, and I shall live.”  Psalm 119:137-144 (KJV)

Father, and GOD of heaven and all creation;  YOU are my GOD and my Savior; my redeemer and Lord in whom I trust.  There is none above YOU from whom YOU would need to seek counsel or to whom YOU would bow the knee.  There is none beside YOU or under YOU that YOU need to fear.  YOU are GOD.

Forgive my sins through YOUR sacrifice of YOUR holy Son Jesus Christ; who sacrificed His life that all who believe in Him might have fellowship, and eternal life with YOU.

Cleanse me from my sin, my disobedience and rebellion against YOUR Word; for YOUR commandments are not grievous, nor are they burdensome.  Give me a great love for YOUR Word, YOUR Son and desire more to glorify YOUR holy name; the name that is above every name; the name of Jesus at which every knee will bow and every tongue confess to GOD, that Jesus Christ is Lord.

There are many who have forsaken YOU; O GOD and YOUR Word, however it is my sin that separates me from fellowship with YOU; not the sin of my neighbor, sister, brother, mother or father. The world is in sin’s death grip from Hollywood to New York City, to Scotland, England, Australia, Japan, China, Saudi Arabia, Israel, Iraq, Iran, and so forth; yet it is my sin I must answer for.

Sin breaks fellowship with YOU O holy GOD.  I long to see the day I can honestly say that my heart is grieved because of sin; but I fear I am not yet there.  Forgive me.  Heal me.  Fill me with YOUR Holy Spirit, that I might truly walk with YOU.

I know that this is the greatest need I have; and that is to be more like YOUR holy Son Jesus Christ.

YOU are holy, righteous, Just, and Awesome in all YOUR ways.  YOU alone are the Divine, Holy GOD.  Through YOUR Son Jesus Christ I come into YOUR presence.

In that name that is above every name – Jesus -  AMEN!
