The Sacred Retreat is here and remains here for whomever would show up, to pray, to worship the Lord, to tell of His name.
Michael Newnham has shut down the Phoenix Preacher blog and it seems to be permanent. I am without part of my community now, as PP represented a 24-hour, 7-day-a-week venue that helped me cope with the lack of access to my church community due to personal matters. Now it’s gone…but I need to keep in mind that the God Michael sought to proclaim is alive and well, and that He not only knew what would happen but is in control. So I go forward with Jesus, and invite you to do the same, and if your journey brings you along this path that is fine.

Na’amah, welcome. I’m sorry about PP…but support Michael fully in this.
Glenn, welcome also, as to you, Dusty!
Bonhoeffer may have said that community for community’s sake won’t last…but that doesn’t mean we have to let this community fall by the wayside.

Lord, I pray for new things in all of our lives. For life more abundant as You have promised. For rest in You that gives us renewed strength, For friendship made to continue and for those missed to make new contacts with one another. I ask for a safe place for our hearts to share and to lift one another up before the throne. I pray for wonderful places to worship You and be fed.
Lord I ask that You supply Michael with rest and healing. With a new job full of challenges that energize. Give him new dreams and answered prayers.
Cover us with Your tender mercies, healing hand and safe covering.

Sacred Shepherd,
Renew our strength. Lead us in the Way of righteous reaction. Temper our spirits in honest conformity to resemble He Who saves to the uttermost.
Let Your love fall on us.
Father,
We are weakened in soul. A mortal man cannot rise higher than Truth. Shall we not pursue generosity of spirit holding the hand of a lamed child thwarted by degeneration of all You hold as holy. Give us reaching grasps even into the fire of desolation as we hear the cries of “save me”. Have we not once cried into the ear of heaven for an answer? You hear.
Jesus,
Over and over You wait for prime moments when Your followers will obey exceedingly. Quicken our response through the knowledge of the teachings that turn us unto the overcoming path. We crave the Word in out hearts that we might not sin against You.
Holy Spirit,
Our ignorance and nonchalant attitude affronts our claim to be genuine keepers
Of Your precepts. Hone us to reflect the inheritance of Your likeness. I desire to never be a shame. Find me prostrate in need of Your constancy. Wind my chaff to the fire’s obliteration. Purify.
Blood of God, Purchaser, I exalt what words lack for description. Have mercy on us who fail, who flaw.

Lord,
I stand upon this footstool looking to the God of All considering.
You are the Everything that Was, Is, and Is to come. How wretched this world must look to You Who once said that all He made was good.
Before this Throne of Mercy I ask, that Jesus pierce our conscience. I see the bride tripping over her steps. Her robe of righteousness, soiled at the hem, goes unnoticed by distractions coming from sources of deception.
Lord, bring us back to the altar where You stand waiting.
We are being consumed by the teaching of “holy look-alikes” that mimic Truth but hold no Living Water. Our vessels are being crushed to potsherds. Put true belief deep into our spirits. Let us receive from You. Let us be emptied of works that do not convey Your commands as You meant them.
Keep the straight and narrow beneath our feet as we follow the fragrance of Your perfect Love. Engulf our surrendered wills.
Silence those who squirm under the scrutiny of Your Reality. They try to form others in their image. Mark these white washed tombs. Reveal their hidden motive. Scrape them off the platform of propagandizing self righteousness that merits nothing. Your Name alone is as You decree and to You is all glory and honor.
BE for us. We are the needing who have outstretched hands that require You.
Hear our prayer. The wolves are sizing us in subtle determination. The hirelings are forsaking their post. The Laodiceans are straying into apathy.
Number us with Faithful and True. We wait for the twinkling of an eye.
Change us to fuller witness in speech, action, and actuality we pray.
Humbled, but secure, we love You.

Keeper of every promise
My God of the Covenant
the Rock to which I cling
I bring praise to the Elegant Understander Who knows my need before it arises.
I sing to the Morning Star. I come to the Holy One Who holds all things together lifting palms of love. Let me receive Your will like one who drinks thirstily at the well of desperation. I subsist on every word that proceeds from You mouth.
Search my intentions and purify every request I make that does not conform to Your Image. Single me out from among the darkened and let Your Light glow through my actions that those who need Your saving grace may find Truth upon my speech. Touch the coal to my lips.
Let me not grow weary in doing good. Let me not waste time on frivolous endeavors or complaining or balking at my self interpreted miseries. Cleanse me from all hidden sin.
Set Your seal upon my day and cover my vulnerability at night. Be the Son that rises in my heart and the Spirit that sets my rest at night.
Spread Your love over us and lead us into Your pleasure for us. Hide us under the Throne of mercy and still us into perfect peace. With You…
Ever and ever God,
Amen

Fire that does not Consume, have mercy on me. Your Holy Presence sets me to fear and trembling as my naked feet stand on your will that purifies me. i am made in the image of I AM, but live in this fallen world waiting for the promised trumpet call to release me. Come Twinkling of an Eye and erase my past.
For the future, use the crumbs of my life to accomplish Your present desire. Loose my grip on any temporal, vain thing. Make my seconds count.
Son of God, teach me further in the deepest parts of my continuation. Handle the details to bring the untapped power I deny You in selfish absorption and distraction. Cast away misuse and waywardness. Let me relinquish.
Strip me of vanities weights and measures. Free my steps.
Lord of Lords, in Whom I am hidden, in Whom I breathe, I pause to pursue the direction You require of my obedience.
Forgive me the wasted. Utilize all that is left for every sake that pleases You.
I am finished with myself.
I love YOU.

My Reason,
I return solidly thirsty and hungering for Your restful arms that wait in ever patience to console and invite me to unspeakable contentment. I revive.
Lord there is tumult and confusion over the Way and Truth and Life. The world is looking for answers in themselves but it is You and only You who can bring the crossover to eternal completion of Your will. Fill our surrendered hearts to serve the least of these that we may do unto You.
If there be any wicked way in me, purge me to the fullest that the final use of my time credits You with all good. Examine my motives and assure me that there will be no trace of any displeasure that will hinder Your work. Make Your presence with me utilized in propensity to Your exactness. O, my Emanuel my very existence depends on one word of Your mouth. Speak into my spirit Living
God that I will humble myself to the dust of my existence, and breath through the words of my heart and the meditations of my heart that I might win souls.
Your narrowing guidance sets us on the road of righteousness and the Is 35:8 Highway of Holiness. Meet us there with instruction and strength to carry on and come along side the weary or fallen. We depend on You Faithful and True.
We seek the purity of Psalm 119 to cover our failures. Cleanse us and wash us by the power of “It is finished”. Funnel us into the everlasting drain of history
called Eternal Glory for Your Name’s sake that we might meet You at the Bema Seat to hear “Well done”. Clothe us in ability to merit those words for You are situated as He Who loves us. We desire to be sighted in Your Image as You intended. We the ransomed throw our crowns at Your feet.
Let others find You in us leading them to Yourself. We set apart our flesh, will, heart, mind, spirit for One Lord of Lord and King of Kings WHO IS WHO HE IS so that none should perish. I surrender my lack of responsibility, indifference, and fear to witness, for the benefit of the person standing before me. Draw us all to the Power that possesses us by the Father’s Gift of His Son. Holy Spirit come make me humble.
I pray for those who devour Your Word. I pray You give them a Fountain of Wisdom that shares without regard for themselves. I pray for the warriors of prayer who minister without ceasing. I pray for the comforters who lead and guide to the Only Healer of our souls. I pray for the lost that they will be found. I pray for Jerusalem, the world, the leadership, and the suffering saints who do not compromise. Pour out Your Spirit Lord on any willing to do the hard thing, on any willing to erase self, on any prostrate before the throne seeking grace and a Divine resurgence onto the battlefield. Intercede Spirit. We groan.
You are Perfection ready to accompany us. You are above. YOU ARE and we bow.Even so Lord Jesus Yahshuah Anointed High Priest, come quickly.

Father of Lights,
I am determined that I decrease and You increase. My heart cries out for You the Living God to distract me from from the rush around me. Settle me into the peace that passes understanding so that every response from my soul honors Your ever-present. Let those that surround me hear the voice of Your Word flow through my conversations that they might know You even though they might not be immediately aware they are being fed eternal life. Cover the inadequate ability in which I falter to impart the words of life which even the apostles proclaimed that You possessed. I have no other way but You.
Prepare me for the person who stands before me searching. Let the power of Your love overflow, filling sin swept damage to bring new life and hope abounding. Grip the devices that hinder and throw them to destruction. Exercise full Authority over the undeniable awareness of Your existence to help the weak and fallen to overcome. Lift us to feet that are swift to obey and hearts that are unchallenged in our love for You. Let us harvest among the angels.
Giving God, You hear every prayer spent on Your will to accomplish. Put the amiss requests in a file to teach us how to pray purely from Your own desire.
Sort our perceived needs from the true ones. Instruct us in suffering that seems to never cease that we might grow in spirit untangled by soul or flesh.
We relinquish, You enjoin.
Gratefully Lord, we wait. Bid us come.
Amen Almighty Whom we call by Name, Jesus Christ

Sovereign Holiness,
You are about us though we travel mostly unaware of Your ever presence waiting for us to take hold of every good thing that flows from Your throne. Our corrupted world distracts our attention from miracles that not just cure, but teach. Sometimes it is not the physical cure that heals, but the message of Your omnipresent love through the endurance of the process that heals. We can live with You through anything, but not without You. Death is sin, not absence in the body. Separation forms the cruel cause, not the outcome. Cleanse us of hidden sin.
You know our need before it arises. You have already provided the victory over each stumbling. You hold us in Your palm. We have Your Word written and sure.
Thank You for entrance into the HOLY of HOLIES that we might be poured upon with the Balm of Gilead. You are Cure, Release, Governed Usurpation over Doubt, Freedom, Credited Actuality, All Response, Hope Unfurled, Greatness Dedicated, Love United, Trust With-standing, Spirit Defending, God Reaching, Ours Intended. In You we trust. Commune with our weary souls.
Settle us on the Mount of Transfiguration as the sheep of Your Pasture. Sound the Horn of Zion to call us to stand in the presence of the ONLY ONE TRUE GOD to meet our Elohim in Spirit and in Truth. We sing tidings of joy to the Author of Genesis to Revelation. Our worship falls short of Your value, but as a child of the Living God, we come protected by the image in which you made us. Forgive us what we lack to exalt Your glory. Clothe us in white.
Give us each moment, courage to say what is true, determination to do what is right, humility to give You glory in our dependence on the Spirit to guide us through temptation, and the willingness to obey in bowed love to do Your bidding. Increase our unconditional love no matter the cost. Let me die daily, pick up my cross, and behave in every manner that our Example showed us in His presence on earth. We have no other Way.
Grant us strength and swiftness in Your will.
Supported in Your Promise,
YAH reigns,
Amen

Lord of Lords, King of Kings,
Where words fail, You still are arranging the details of our life in incomprehensible love. Your glory permeates ears that can hear and eyes that can see. Surround us who enjoin You in humble adoration though our low light understanding keeps us from seeing You as we will know You in Heaven’s sphere. We stretch the yearnings of our hearts to grasp a glimpse of the Coming in the Clouds.
We linger at the Throne for todays measure of mercy. Who can thread us into the Father’s weave but His Son by the dynamic power of Holy Spirit searching the world for the “here am i, send me”. Make us fulfilled. Direct our sauntering. Feed our speech. Protect our rest. Save us from ourselves and aches for approval that do not meet Yours. Sing into our souls verses of healing and completion. De-pride us.
Have us.
We echo in submission. Certainly,
Amen

We cry out for mercy, justice, peace, sanity. You hear our Beloved Responder. Quiet us, that we might hear You in the wait. You are speaking, “time child”, “in the perfect time you will see the overcoming.” Blessed are those who trust in the NAME of the LORD our GOD.
How shall our grief in this present moment compare to the future glory. We will forget the trials, temptations, failures, fallings. We will remember You Who sustained us as You carried us over in forgiving arms and steady attention. Why should I fear. Give us love, power, and a sound mind. Your love is greater than our need.
I am simple. My offerings are rags. I grasp control like I own it and watch it fall like water between my fingers. I am dumb.
But You love me like a precious heir for whom You yearn to bless. You answer me before I call. You have prepared a place for me that where You Are, I will be with You. You see my sin and provide an escape. You died to provide.
This is love.
This, all I can depend upon.
You are eternal shalom and rest.
Who can thank You. Help me to thank You in every aspect that I call my life.
Root me in remembrance. Make me apparently Yours.
Beyond a voice,
I sing.

Lord Savior,
Release me from the web of complexities. Anxiety lurks in the corner disturbing my peace. My wants are overwhelming patience and Your will. You know my desire. You hone my motive. Fine tune me. Make me the ethereal harmony that will bless You.
I stand awed. I bow flawed. I crawl like a forgotten sojourner. Draw me to a position worthy of Your presence.
I can climb or be lifted. I wait for Resurrected Joy to say “Come forth”.
Submerge my spirit until my identity is hidden behind You that You might always be before me. I am guilty of going ahead. Be my Head.
Your eyes follow this sparrow who falls to the ground wounded by failed acts of determination to supersede the Planner of Life. Gather me into the Palm of obedience.
Pin me to Your heart. Speak my name in mercy. Call me to Your order. I am facing the corner where i can reflect on my deeds. You are more worthy than my attempts.
But this I know. You know. You know my “because”. You know the little solutions I create. You know the full answer. Slow me down. Tie me to You side. Shackle me to Your steps. Re-establish my contentment. You know. I know You know. I will sit like a beggar at Your feet and feed off Your next command. Thank You for the “while I was away You didn’t leave me”.
My kiss upon Your feet,
My ear to Your voice,
My will in compliance,

We do not apprehend any untruth for Your Way is holiness that recovers. We walk without perfection in fallen flesh, but Your Word rallies us to the future glorified body awaiting. Hone our patience to resemble the utmost true believer of Your promises that does not fail.
Undefiled Love, cure us of self absorption and let our spirits rise to communion above the world and its definitions. We ask for Your overcoming will that we may survive and flourish.
Fullness of Hope, You sympathize with our plight. Yet You have made the Way of Escape that summons us to Life. May we walk in the power of such uncompromising love. Take us to the beyond our circumstance realm where understanding, mercy, and grace oil our souls with gladness. We shall sing the songs of victory in Your Name.
Equip us for the next moment of personal drop. Though You under-gird us with
complete safety, we still are shaken. Let us know the Rock Beneath Our Feet that our assurance not be forgotten. Let us remember the fragrance of Your presence. Let us be still.
We give You the next moment. Tether us to Your direction. Let us pass the test. And Dearest of All, let us praise You regardless and unceasingly.

YOU are not tradition, man made, limited, or equal to our imagination.
YOU are the All Above, Everlasting unfailed love, Hope’s Holy Kiss, Everbearer, Worth upon worth. Under Your wing we crowd in expectancy. Your return is our future. We wait for the Un-defiled Kingdom unceasing. To You be glory unmeasured.
Pace us in these waning days. Our travels in this world intensify with dark shadows and threats, but You set our feet on clear ground and lighted paths.
Fill us in every surrendered area of our hearts. Make our souls Your proving ground that TRUTH has not diminished. Claim our will as those who are sealed with the authority of Your presence. Keep us in calm communion in our offering of complete obedience. Manifest Your presence in our actions and rule in our reactions.
Walk before our attempts teaching us to behave in righteous holiness. Oil the lamps of our understanding that we might bear the True Light. Give us nets full of salvation’s catches that none should perish of whom you put before us.
Bring over-abundant belief to our spirits that we might not falter in the presence of our enemies. Heal us, that Your work will not be hindered. Armour us in the awareness of Your Word never returning void. You have won.
We lay our memories at Your feet. Let us think solely of You. We lay ambition down in exchange for Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven. We lay time at the Foot of Eternity to be used by Your fulfillment. We lay us down like palm branches. We are Your dust, loved, forgiven, anticipated, redeemed. Take our breath and fill it with Your harvesting grace. For what You gave, we live. For why You came, we bow and rejoice.

Royal Heart,
You came far below Your Kingdom to rescue the damaged. We submit that at our own hands, we are often the cause. Grace over us with holy communion to spare us unnecessary time spent on the fact. Instead gracious Love, warrant our arrest to imprison us in the Eternal affect of Your Sacrificial Gift that lifts us from the depths of despair into the glory of Your forgiveness that erases.
Do not spare us suffering, for in such we intimate Your walk on this earth. Greet us with courage and the tenacity to overcome every stumbling footwork. We balance ourselves in Truth and do not fear the heights of testing.
You are Emanuel, God with us, in us by the power of the Holy Spirit, for us in the equation of “that none should perish”, to us with outstretched grasping, rising us through the tongue confessing Your immediate desire seek and save.
We bow low beneath the weight of such a conscience Way of compassion.
We are born of a King Who holds all in the palm of His hand. We kiss the Hand of Glory proclaiming Your worth.
Sacred, Divine, Hope, We come with glad rejoicing in knowing You. Our Christ Jesus Who does not forsake, I cherish Your footsteps into my heart. Seat Yourself on the throne of my attention. You are ever before my longing toward heaven. Come Lord Jesus, Come.
To those who read my prayers, who join me in the craving of adoring the One and Only God of God, Truth of Truth, Song of Creation, and Blessed Always Now, I say to you, though we are weak and needy, He is strong through us. Let us live His pleasure, that we love Him entirely and each other as we ourselves need to be loved, not forgetting to pray for our enemies, relishing our perpetual state of having been forgiving in anticipation of a mansion and a waiting Bridegroom.
To Him be Glory, to you my friends, my humble thanks in sharing love for HIM.

You have overcome the world, the things of the world, the sin of the world, and the prince of this world. We are free.
Death has no sting. Eternity records our name in Your Book of Life. We wait.
Give us Bread and Water. We are jailed in these mortal bodies groaning for the final release. You hold the key. You unlock to Door of our understanding and we succumb to patience and deliberate faith. Grant us strength in time.
Sufficient is Your Word for our relief. We gather hope in the breadth of Your
love and height of Your sacrifice. Courtesy is not valid to describe Your worth.
Utmost attention is required to ascribe the necessary dues to Your infallible love for us that transcends any evaluation of human words. We long for the ability to adhere to Your pleasure for us in even our humble attempts. We are babes of expression.
Yet in this quagmire, grasping for the perfect adjective, we love you sincerely as is born out of our small creation of joy for You being our King. And so, my Lord, a kiss upon Your wounds for our salvation, a look into the Author of Beauty’s, eyes, and a remiss asking of forgiveness for the myriad of distractions that stray our thoughts from the Only One Who satisfies.

Put us to work in the harvest of white fields. Replace stubborn afflictions with unprecedented freedom to work Your will fluently. Heal our tendencies.

Help us to re-read Your instructions finding any missing point. Commune with us in the meanings of even the jot a tittle. Equip us for the next confrontation. Do not let us be undermined. Retrace the route that returns us to Your Face. Leave us Echad. Settle it.

Take everything from our hands that does not reveal trust in You. Help us to drop the baggage of unsound thought, weakness in decision, fright for the journey, or contemplation of self-will that behaves like stubborn children that examine outcomes that draw attention to other than You in Your power to correct.
We live precariously on a precipice of allowing overcoming temptations to rule.
Gird us with holy maturity. You are not a failing God. We hold hands with helplessness, but Your hand shows its reach before our eyes and we need only take hold. We are without excuse. Bind the enabler.
Bring us into the place of flesh redemption. Crown us with ultimate love for You. Strengthen us with purity of body, soul and spirit. Left us cling to things above.
Build our foundation with Your NAME as cornerstone. Cleanse us with the blood of the Lamb. Return sin to the father of sin. Gag the liar.
In Your courts of praise we will stand victorious. At Your throne we pronounce the glory of mercy, love, understanding, presence of Truth not withholding. Be our King of the receptive heart. Give us an end of the old and a beginning of more of You in our lives. You know. You will. You are. We must continue toward You alone. Let us, for there is none like You. You have prepared the Way.

We walk dependent, needful, seeking, surrendering, submitting, waiting.
Draw Your pleasure over us like a veil to curtain our need to be sanctified from the world. Wash us from tendency and addiction, reluctance and indifference, purposeless and futility. Clothe us in garments of linen and crown us with unselfish deeds.

Dear God,
Life is not simple. I don’t comprehend the power of Your will to change me. Instead I grapple with the faith to trust everything You do. Simplicity is so revealing, Your ways past finding out and yet Your presence in those ways need only be acknowledged. I look for You.
I need Bread from Heaven to propel my desire to face another day. Feed me from the riches of Your ever merciful understanding of my frailty. Undo my tendencies to recline when I am called to move forward in your Name. Settle it so I don’t waste the value of speaking the Truth in love in lieu of quaint conversation that profits nothing. Revise me.
Careful Saviour, Be the essence of my existence. Help me to savor obedience.

Help me to climb the difficulties of the day with a sweet heart that complains only of the failings of my human nature to think I can do it alone, that it is not accomplished quickly enough, or You are not doing Your part to bring it ease. We learn obedience through our suffering. Let me suffer gracefully. Let me suffer with the Light of Love’s example running through the actions that differentiate me from the world.
I ask for the Holy cleansing that I might drip worthy praise at Your feet. May I anoint He Who carries me through. Let the joy I have knowing You run down over Your garment of righteousness. You Are Inevitable. We shall bow.
I forsake my list of needs to take time only for expressions of trust for the future You have decided for me. I tremble, but assuredly understand that You walk tightly against my frail spirit and soul urging me on in faith even when lacking in sight. Lift me over the chasms of fear and doubt. You are mine and I am Yours.
I pray for the devastated people who do not understand and question how You are able to do what You choose. For those who do not grasp You sovereign authority and perfect eternal vision, I pray they stop, behold, and consider every word that has proceeded from Your mouth. May they find. May they wander into Truth. May they succumb. I release my sorrow for the eternally lost. Make a straight path to those who still need to accept so Great A Gift.
Rubble surrounds us. Fire is coming to refine and purify us. Prepare us for heaven and our reward. We sight our bridal veil in anticipation of our beloved Bridegroom. It is within reach. Let the ceremony begin.
In the Name our our ADONAI YESHUA JESUS CHRIST by Whom all things were created,
Amen and amen

Unmeasured Love,
We come claiming today’s need from One Who gives without measure.
We pray for a simple, cured start to our day. Thank You for threshing our errors into the chaff pile. You are Knowable Marvel and we succumb.
I pray for the world today. Your plan is to torch its fallen state, but Your will is that none should perish. I pray for the seeking, willing, surrendered, and those who call upon the Name of the Lord. Hosanna in the highest.
Word for Word, I give You glory. A Truth so clean and perceptible should be consumed in grateful love. Help me to love beyond my ability. Secure my feet within the borders of Heaven though I stand on earth. Let my eyes raise to my eternity.
Lord, despondency is not in Your pleasure. Our help comes from You. Situations are temporal opportunities that await Your answer to healing, forbearance, tenacity, and victory. Indwell our requests and acquiesce our spirits to Your reply. We suffer. So did You. Teach us the grace that overcomes.
We settle ourselves at Your feet to hear with ears that hear. We watch and wait upon the fulfillment. It is no longer about me, we. It is about THEE.
Through THEE we shall mount on wings of eagles. This world will pass away, and promises kept will fall upon us like refreshing hope actualized by patience.
We trust You.
Be our EVER GOD. Wipe away our tears. Be God With Us. We pray.
Applied to Your Existence,
We look in love continually,
amen

Father God,
We pray humbled, needful, expectant, that You will supply our hope with stronger faith, love more sure, courage unchallenged. Our world is deteriorating rapidly. We are surrounded but undaunted for we see the host of heaven preparing. Open the eyes of your servants.
For the fearful, I pray power, love , and a sound mind. For the uncertain, I pray solid understanding and faith. For the lost, I pray rapid salvation, and for Your Love, I pray fill us, use us, upgird us, and victoriously claim Your Name through us.
We guard Truth with our whole heart. May He pass His wisdom through our lips. We enjoin the worshippers of the ONE TRUE GOD WHO REIGNS undefeated. We love Jesus with an unquenchable vision of His Word with joy incarnate. We wait for the Holy Spirit outpouring and request an indwelling that swells beyond our understanding.
King of Kings, rule.

Father,
The world reels with disasters, but You are still, watching, waiting for the call.
We call on the Name of the Lord God Almighty. Save now.
There is no peace without our Prince of Peace. But our hearts are calm, hidden in the palm of Your hand. We shall fear no evil.
Be the Gift of Salvation for the seeking. Be the strong tower for the overwhelmed. Be the Hiding Place from the enemy. Be I AM, for You are Who You say You Are and we worship You.
Have mercy on those being tested. Strengthen the hearts of the faint. Stay our feet on the narrow Way. Use our desire to serve You and succor Your people. Let us be content in all circumstances knowing You are with
us providing for every need. You are our help in time of need.
Do as You will to prosper Your purpose for eternity’s sake. We know we sojourn like pilgrims through toils and snares. But Your hand guides us, Your voice comforts us, Your Word establishes our hope. We shall overcome.
For those faltering, steady their steps. For the hungry who crave a word from You, feed their souls. For those under pressured attack, surround them with songs of deliverance.
We wait on You in trust. Come Lord Jesus come.
Amen my All

Abiding Saviour,
On You we rest our hope for all things visible and invisible. You are Truth confirmed.
Be the stable Presence that sees us through to tomorrow. How pure are Your thoughts toward us. You have created and loved us on limits of love that excel. We survive.
Our aches tell us of our need for You. Our heartsbreaks scan the inevitable; Your mercy. This is the day You have made to be our God in it. We survey no other alternative. Keep us in the power of Your intimacy. Factor us in obedience.
For this love, we bow. For this honest appraisal, we humble ourselves. For this ignited understanding, we yearn for further Truth. We are thirsty.
Enter in upon the throne of our hearts. Take Your place of honor. In boldness we ask, come Lord Jesus come.
However it unfolds, Whenever it comes, prepare us to be Your sanctuary, Your bride.

God of Wonders,
You are our sactuary from the storm. Though our enemies press, we retreat with the safety of Your strong right arm. They move blindly, and we escape. We enter the Holy Place of everlasting love.
Betrothed, You call us. We wait in expectation. It is the promise kept from the beginning. We believe.
Send the Power of the Holy Spirit to help us see past our conflicts to the One Who answers our call. You have entailed our future on the decision of following this Word of Truth named Jesus Christ of Nazareth. To Him we ascribe what we cannot utter for failure of perfect words. Kiss the Son lest He be angry. We kiss the One seated on the Throne.
Cover us with grace to face the arrows aimed at our hearts. Blend our minds into Scripture adhereing in immediate obedience. Do our soul as we surrender.
You Are.
We rejoice.
We hail the King of Kings and Lord of Lords over all creation by the power of His Word and pleasure.
We love.

Great Reliever,
I praise You that our days are numbered and our tears will be wiped away. This world has no appeal. The times quake and create dread. But we behold the Eternal Favor of Love Who guides us into the trials that prepare our future. In so, we give thanks. We stand eager to be content like your servant Paul counting all things loss. To You Lord be the excess of our devotion.
Holy One, I pray for the stamina to face the coming fever of sin that will try our patience. Your hand upholds us, yet our senses are assaulted by constant arrays of debauchery under many guises of normality. We know by Your Truth-Word that what this world cherishes is self absorbed ideas that do not include obedience to Your cleansing Word. Have mercy on the righteous living among the shame that grieves Your heart. Our lights are dim, but You shine still in the darkness.
Insure todays footsteps upon the path You set for us to follow that leads into holiness and humble gratitude. We follow the fragrance of Your ultimate Presence. You are our Cloud and Pillar of Fire.
Gracious Ruler of All, feed us our daily bread. Purpose us to submit. Grace us. You can. We wait for the Gentle One Who returns.
With this new day, have Your way with us. Let us release all hindering aspects that displease or block Your control of our fleeting seconds. For Your honor we bow. We acclaim Your mastery of all Goodness and Perfection.
To You oh Lord we lift our souls,
Amen, in childlike faith

Jesus Yeshua,
You formed our frame. There was no mistake except ours in choosing sin. You knew it would happen and You made Way for escape. We run to You.
We behold Your outstretched arms. At Your feet we fall for today’s forgiveness. To Your heart we appeal for the integrity to forsake besetting sins. Lift us into everlasting obedience. Reduce the weight of our sorrows when You perceive our readiness to react in righteousness undisturbed.
Sin-taker,
You have paid and we are set free above the punishment. Increase our knowledge of sacrificial love that our life may reflect the gratitude we proclaim. Let us worship in deed as well as Truth and Spirit.
Employ our time with all that pleases Your will, heart, spirit, and intent. Make time Your possession as we surrender our moments for Your glory. Single us out for useful Mouths of Truth bearing relief to a dying world. Capture those straying from Holy Doctrine and cure them from themselves. Tear down the fence from under those sitting there complacently postponing the Ultimate decision.
Lead us to the Final Resting Place of perfect understanding though we sojourn with the peace that passes it to increase our trust. You never weary.
God Almighty,
We boldly enter with joy in the trial because of the outcome.
With He Who never leaves nor forsakes us,

Lord of True Impression,
You do not turn us away. You arise before us as All Perfect with the desire to release us from corruption. We have no desire to claim permanence in our distress. You overcame for our benefit. Your stripes, hem, word, touch, heal. Our faith follows You for our need. Come Lord Jesus, come.
Enlarge our ability be ingrained in Your Word. Let it filter through our thoughts putting You in proper perspective that we might be one with You. Let us live above ordinary faith. Curl us around Scripture that is purified in Holy Spirit comprehension. Feed us from Your hand. Lessen the slaughter of our attention by overwhelming distraction thieves. Let us see the Bible continually in our hands, thoughts, hearts, and spirit renewing our relationship with the All-Giving God. Fill our existence.
Gracious One, how You must grieve. Lessen my participation in offending You. Let me walk in untainted harmony with the activity of heaven. I desire to join with the song of eternity blessing Your holiness. You are worthy of more than my best offer. I am simple and exceedingly wrong. I seek to be cleared.
Guard Your city Lord. Rule the kings of the earth that we might see the fulfillment of prophecy. We yearn for Your justice and mercy.
You have given us all we need. We partake of the promises.
All glory to You Who has give us access past the torn curtain.

Foremost You Lord Who rides upon the clouds.
You wait even more than we to come rescue us from the dredges of this fallen world. Our bodies deteriorate, our souls yearn, our spirits rise in anticipation for the hour of Your calling. Send help from heaven to those who are weakening. The race is long. Do not let us drop in exhaustion. Deploy a legion of ministering sanctified angels to surround the encampment of Your chosen and beloved bride. Be tender with our failings. Rescue us from the continual bombardment of desecration of Your Name. Let praise flow from our lips as though we do not suffer. Be exalted.
We gather at Your feet where mercy and love proclaim You. Make us deaf to threats against our trusted Saviour. They are bootless cries that will consume their fallow attempts to diminish You.
The powers that taunt Your EXISTENCE have decreed their own demise. They have swallowed the poison of their eternal death. Utter Failure is their creed.
But You Most High above the racking destruction have decreed and sealed Your response. We call upon You to empower us with the grace of “that none should perish”. Be the effort past our shortcoming to save now. Put the palm branch in our fist to wave the attention to Your Emmanuel. Turn our eyes to the Living Truth until they ask. May our Holy Spirit filled mouths be the fountain for their thirst.
Show us how, when. Use our talents, resources, and willingness. Open the opportunity with ability.
God, we live day to day, Word for Word. Man desecrates. You consecrate. Separate us to Yourself.
Amen

Instant, before we know to ask, You have answered. You perceive our future and wait for us through it all ready to meet us in it.
You are present in our now, guiding, protecting, ministering, healing.
You have seen us in our past and have forgiven, corrected, proved us loved, and set us on higher understanding.
Name us grateful, though undeserving.
May our attention be conditioned by Your Word working inwardly to honor You outwardly. May this world see they are without excuse. May we live without excuse.
Holy God rescue us from the rampant deterioration. Prepare us for the mansions above, and the personal trials that prepare our hearts to live beyond what we see. Help us dedicate remaining time for the harvesting of those ready to seek Your Face. Fill our mouths with indisputable messages of Your willingness to save now. We glean crumbs of hope to shed abroad.
Personal God, We are yearning to end here and begin the eternal joy. Yet, in Jesus’ words, not my will, but Yours be done. We pray for the twinkling of an eye.

Ultimate Truth,
You are the Way that conditions our walk. We abide peacefully knowing the trodden Path is without stumbling when taken into consideration You are Perfect and Pure. On this protected future we rest our hope. We accept the trials that ensure we are being loved in chastisement that we might be refreshed in the overcoming and permanently situated in Your clearance of fault and neglect on our part. You be praised above the suffering.
Lord, continue. We brace for the things to come, but You are our foundation against storm, devastation, and failure and so, we shall not be moved from our confidence in the picture finished by Your written Word. Though we tremble in the details, we see time’s beginning and end. Victory in Jesus is our battle cry. Your banner over us is Love. Your presence is enough when the enemy shoots his arrogance at our faith. Shield of Glory, we win because You first loved us.
Skim the dross of our imperfections. Throw it away as far as the east is from the west. Let us dwell on the heights of Your majesty seeing the outcome of obedience to encourage our souls. Send us to the ranks of seekers with words of wisdom and strength. Help us cast away unneeded thoughts of worry. Make swift our feet to run the halls of heaven joining in the angel’s songs of worship and honor. Holy You Are.
Remove fear. Subject politics to every aspect of Your Name. Quicken us to do onto others as You would do knowing the division of motive coupling with action. Make us holy as You are Holy. We claim dependence on You. It is our victory over self. To You be the glory of power that supersedes all.
Who is like the Lord, mighty in power, above all creation, without challenge. You are our God and we prostrate our hearts before You. Halleluia caused by Your greatness unaffected.

The Lord is my God. I shall not fear. He is the sum total of all I need. I am not without. He withholds no good thing from me. He tries me to make me sure after the trial. He confirms His presence through the trial. I am made in His image. I trust Him.
If not for You Lord, I would succumb to every vain and wild thought. I would doubt myself to death. I would wither. You shelter me with comfort and I praise Your NAME that sustains me thoroughly. You are the answer to my every call. You are the visible when I need to see Your hand working on my behalf. You are the Spoken when I crave assurance. You are the fixer and final outcome that thrills my soul.
I know I will walk with You in Heaven. You do not lie. I came bruised, beaten, compromised, failing, You re-did me. I lift my head and proclaim My God saves. No enemy can overturn Your decision for my life. No enemy can overstep my claim on You as King of kings and Lord of lords.
It is no use. YOU ARE AS YOU SAY YOU ARE. Who can deny but fools who pretend otherwise.
Have mercy as You look down. We cling to Your robe of pure justice. Though grief strike and storms rage on temper and disobedience, the court of Your praises continue unaffected. Songs of deliverance spill from our hearts and mouths. We shall overcome and receive the reward of Your faithfulness toward us.
Our God reigns.
For those in the midst of the struggle that entangles and then purifies us, I ask for power to grasp Your will be done. Raise us to the standard that pleases You that we may enter into deep relationship with You. Release from us any hindering self examination that toys with the enemies concepts proof. Truth sets us free and we are free indeed.You are Proof. Let us dance in the freedom.
Oh Great God, Son Jesus, and Spirit of Love, Withdraw us from the world, its lusts, its condemnation, its faults and failures and press us into the bosom of Our sweet Lord and Saviour Who stands ready to embrace. In Him we will continue. Enrapture us as we wait for the eternal release.

and I will ever praise You.

I set it aside Lord; every thought of myself, every fear, need, disappointment, failure, lie from the enemy, remark that hurts, slight, question of why, hard test, careless attitude, rude response, distrust, or any thought that does not prove that You are God and can do all things through me because You strengthen me. I climb from my wallowing thoughts that do not honor You no matter what my circumstances. You are above all things impossible to man. You make it possible for us to remember our sweet communion with the Lifter of my soul. I take the Bread and Wine.
Emerald rainbow, streets of gold, ethereal voices of praise, perfect agape, sinlessness, white robes, Throne of Grace, Book of Life, Banquet with the Lamb, a new heaven and earth, a mansion, loved ones, Truth, unspeakable glory, a new name,…
For this Lord, Your acceptable Presence Eternal, I live, move, have my being.
I lay down doubt, every burden that hinders, false expectation, trepidation, worthless information, control, harm, retribution, disguised pride, scoffing.
I pick up hope, courage, joy, peace, Truth, wisdom, holiness, gratitude, faith unchallenged, Life. I will carry on pocketed in Scripture and willingness to reflect its teaching. I will not blaspheme by wanting my will be done. I succumb with grateful trust that You are Real and my life is solved through You. I try. You finish. I wait. You perfect.
Let it be so according to Your will that I might magnify Your Name that is above all names. Brighten the Light of this little candle. Let me shine with a difference that those who wonder will hear with ears that hear that my God saves. May this offering at Your feet please He Who first loved me and set me in His creation to Make Him Know as He is Known.
That none should perish,

Jesus,
You pressed on to the cross. Your forebear every hard moment taking my sins upon Your holy frame. You spoke forgiveness to the wretchedness of my soul. You welcomed me into the heritage of Heaven’s reward. I did nothing to deserve Your attention. You did not turn Your eyes from my nakedness and shame. You lifted me from the sucking down sin that drowns. My feet are secure on Your Promises still fulfilling. You are Only.
I am pitiful in my thanks. I surrender rights to myself. You have bought me for Your use. Take me off the shelf and commence with Your desire to propagate Heaven’s glory and Your delight. Quicken my obedience response. You settled the account. I am freed. Increase my faith that I may endeavor thoroughly in Your Name.
I live above. You exist in every moment. Your voice rings aloud in the confusion. I listen. I believe. I am tested. You deliver.
And so, I praise You for never leaving me nor forsaking me. I step up to purpose of suffering and take it like my Brother Jesus showed me. I will not complain or question. I will learn. I will accept hard obedience. I will shun fear that paralyzes and conforms me to this world and its lowered understanding. You have victory and I walk in the impressions of Truth.
You do not fail. Go forth in praise for:My Name is Redemption From, comes with glory in the clouds to gather. His Word is True. His Name is sure. His will be done. His Promises Eternal. His elect beloved.

Speak to me Lord that I may be healed. Not that I ask healing in the physical sense, but rather Lord that I do not prevail upon this thorn forgetting grace sufficient for the moment. Your grace suspends my desire above the circumstance and I forget the trial and remember my Sustaining Strength walking me through. You clear the air of deep pressuring reminders of distance between the imperfect flesh and the holy practice of depending on You. May we excel in trust.
God, You have given a floodgate of goodness to pour upon our weariness. We inhale choices and exhale hope that Your will in them is not tarnished by our interference. Regard our submission keeping it a stable force as we wash in Your Word. Connect us to Truth with cords that cannot be broken.
Unveil our present understanding that we might view a most perfect plan in place for the receivers who kneel with unscaled eyes and hearts prepared.
Come Lord Jesus come. Oh, come Lord Jesus come.
We face time’s remainder, but our future is fixed. Broken or not, weak or strong, singing or crying, preparing or ready, we come rejoicing with utmost gratitude simply to say, yes Lord. Have Your Way.

Altar our offerings that we might please You Who is worthy. All Three in One, satisfy our longing to be eternalized from this world and its devious assaults. We spew our own lukewarmness. You have allowed the Taste of heaven to walk among us to teach and admonish. Cinch the meaning of Your exactness of the Father’s will into our understanding and fullest desire to obey continually. We pray for less interruption.
Grant us peace in the midst. Diminish our awareness of the temporal conditions that single us away from the finished sacrifice that proved Your love toward us. Set our mind on things above. Stay our hearts upward.

Increase our ability to obey in fullness of love for You and our neighbor. Quicken our feet with the Gospel. Quicken our hands with charity. Quicken our hearts with forgiveness. Eternity reveals its breadth opening. We are walking toward.
