My October 2008 prayer
Tuesday, October 21, 2008
Dear Heavenly Father,
Do bless me that I may bless others and enrich my life that others who know me may know thee also and deliver me from temptation and be with me at all times that I may lead a holy life. Lord, I pray for America if such facts simplified for deaf and facts about American Nightmare are true. I pray for everyone, including myself. It is not that I fear the future, but I fear for Your people who may be affected by it. You are challenging us to be strong in You, drawing upon Your strength to move the mountains. I pray in Jesus' name that I may be filled with Your Spirit, so I may be strong in You. I pray for Americans, we sinned greatly in Your eyes. I understand that we fail to honor Your power over the whole world that You have the right to punish us. While You are the God of Love, You are God of mercy and God of justice. That's what I see: You encourage us to put faith in You and that You dwell in us which means we can do anything by Your power which is limitless. I praise You, my Lord and my Savior, that You have saved me from the fiery pit of hell. I thank You for revealing that Christian Life is not hard because I am yoked with Christ, who is seasoned and experienced in my walk. Oh God, I also pray for all my co-workers who got laid off from work yesterday (Monday, October 20). I pray for workers at Flexsteel who plan to close down their plant on November 6 and they plan to move to Mexico.
The most importantly, I agreed with Rev. Wright who prayed: Heavenly Father -- We come before You today to ask Your Forgiveness and seek Your direction and guidance -- We know Your Word says, ''Woe to those who call evil good,'' but that's exactly what we have done -- We have lost our Spiritual equilibrium and inverted our values
-- We confess that we have ridiculed the absolute truth of Your Word and called it pluralism
-- We have worshiped other gods and called it multiculturalism
-- We have endorsed perversion and called it an alternative lifestyle
-- We have exploited the poor and called it the lottery
-- We have neglected the needy and called it self preservation
-- We have rewarded laziness and called it welfare
-- We have killed our unborn and called it choice -- We have shot abortionists and called it justifiable
-- We have neglected to discipline our children and called it building self-esteem
-- We have abused power and called it political savvy
-- We have coveted our neighbor's possessions and called it ambition
-- We have polluted the air with profanity and pornography and called it freedom of expression
-- And we have ridiculed the time-honored values of our forefathers and called it enlightenment [Check this source]
-- What a great and remarkable prayer -- and what courage Rev. Wright had to stand up before the legislators in his state and name sin for what it is and then to ask God to forgive this nation for those very sins
Yes, Lord, I again want to pray for America that spiritual revival may be found among us. And I also pray for all Plain People and every other Christian who know the Bible well to rise up and be earnest about the spiritual needs of Americans. I thank You that I know that I am not alone in this quest, but I want more. Yes, I agree with Jesus when He said the field is white already to harvest and He ask us to pray that more workers be send forth.
I thank You that You have given me this great peace and joy. May I continue in Your Love and Joy that You are so willing to bestow upon all mankind. Oh Lord, I want to pray as I work today so to be contributing to Keystone Koating.
Today (October 21, 2008) I suddenly thought of something interesting, Lord. I don't know if You just reveal it to me or not, but I just had to share with You and whoever I allow to eavesdrop on my prayer. I thought how interesting it is that Christmas is near to Winter equinox and Good Friday is close to Spring equinox as well. We generally think that birth is a beginning of a new life and death a means to the end of it. But we celebrate the birth of Christ at time of when nature went cold and dormant while we celebrate the Death as well as Resurrection of Christ at time of nature's new beginning. Isn't it grand, Lord? I am sure it is part of Your perfect design, without us even suspecting it at the first place. I thank You, Lord, for that resurrection power that I can live a new life and have no desire whatsoever to continue in those things I have had done.
I also want to pray for Fermin as he continue to chat with me online. I do long to help him see, but he apparently don't really see what I meant. It would be much better if he save his money for his house and car than to buy a computer and PSP. He has a bike, and I do believe he don't need another one.
I want to pray for Your strength, Lord. I want to be strong enough to stand alone, even in face of legalism. Thank You Lord for leading me thus far, and continue to give me the abundant joy only found in You. And allow me to be partaker of Your almighty power that I can be whatever You wish me to be.
In Jesus' Name
Amen
