Lord, it is my greatest privilege to exalt You above all and proclaim that You are King of kings and Lord of lords. I praise You for Your Holy Spirit who leads and comforts me. I praise You for Your wisdom and revelation. I praise You for Your peace and joy. Thank You that You are in charge of my life and nothing is too hard for You. Thank You for enabling me to do what I could never do without You. Lord, help me to worship You in ways that are pleasing in Your sight. Amen

what are we waiting for?
When the Holy Spirit etched this upon Paul’s heart, it was for a purpose. God knew that our spiritual lives would depend upon our understanding this passage.
Pray without ceasing. Pray continuously.
You see, our hearts must be constantly in tune with the Spirit of God. Our hearts and spirits must be in continual communion with our Father. If we are to ever experience true victory in our lives, it will only come by true and passionate prayer.
It’s time for us to draw near to our God. It’s time for us to sit at His Feet. It’s time for our souls to yearn for a continual relationship with the One who hears our prayers and responds to our cries.
Prayer is a necessity in the Christian walk. So, what are we waiting for?
Pray without ceasing....
Amen

A Prayer for Truth
Holy Father,
We exalt Your glorious and powerful name; the name above all names, the name that makes demons tremble, the name that causes angels to bow down and worship, the name that we cry out to in our suffering. Your compassion for us is always near, and Your love for us never fails.
We come before You today, Father, asking for Your wisdom and discernment in a time when things are often far too muddled and confusing. Father, we long for truth. As challenging as it can be to hear and to know, Your truth is what gives us a solid foundation. Lord God, help us to see the truth. Open our hearts and minds, and enter in to permeate the power of the truth of Your Word to us! For Your truth is power, Your truth guides and protects, and Your truth is what we need to stand strong and stand sure.
We thank You for continuing to shape and form us into You image. Father, guide our steps so that we may bring You glory and honor. Help us to shine the light of Your truth into the dark places of this world.
Amen
To all, life Thou givest - to both great and small;
In all life Thou livest, the true life of all;
We blossom and flourish as leaves on the tree,
And wither and perish - but naught changeth Thee.

Prayer for the Grace to Die Daily
Grant, O Lord, that as we are baptized into the death of thy blessed Son our Saviour Jesus Christ, so by continually mortifying our corrupt affections we may be buried with him; and that through the grave and gate of death, we may pass to our joyful resurrection; for his merits, who died, and was buried, and rose again for us, thy Son Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen

WORDS FROM THE CROSS
With Good Friday and Easter coming, I wanted to share three words spoken by our Lord from the cross.
FORGIVENESS ~ "But Jesus was saying, 'Father, forgive them for they do not know what they are doing'". Luke 23:34
REDEMPTION ~ "And He said to him, 'Truly, I say unto you, today you shall be with Me in Paradise'". Luke 23:43
COMPASSION ~ "When Jesus then saw His mother, and the disciple whom He loved standing nearby, He said to His mother, 'Woman, behold your son!' Then he said to the disciple, 'Behold your mother!' From that hour the disciple took her into his own household." John 19:26-27
Dear Lord Jesus, in Your darkest hour, in You deepest pain and rejection, You gave out forgiveness, redemption and compassion. I know you do that the same today and always because I have experienced your forgiveness, your redemption, and your compassion. May my heart be filled so that I to can share those with others. I love You. Amen.

An Example to Follow
Psalm 112:6 (NLT)
“………. Those who are righteous will be long remembered.
“………. Those who are righteous will be long remembered.
Proverbs 10:7 (NLT)
“We have happy memories of the godly……”
“We have happy memories of the godly……”
Q: My Answer Column
Mr. Graham, how would you like to be remembered?
Answer: Editor’s note: Before his death, Billy
Graham approved the following response as his final My Answer column.
“I hope I will be remembered
as someone who was faithful—faithful to God, faithful to the Gospel of Jesus
Christ and faithful to the calling God gave me not only as an evangelist, but
as a husband, father and friend. I’m sure I’ve failed in many ways, but I take
comfort in Christ’s promise of forgiveness, and I take comfort also in God’s
ability to take even our most imperfect efforts and use them for His glory.”
Matthew 25:21 (NIV)
"His master replied, 'Well done, good and faithful servant! You have been faithful ………Come and share your master's happiness!'
"His master replied, 'Well done, good and faithful servant! You have been faithful ………Come and share your master's happiness!'
Thank you Father for all
of your faithful servants, godly men and women, who with great faithfulness and
endurance completed their call and mission to which you sent them. They along
with Billy Graham have set a wonderful example of dedication and devotion to
you. Of them all it may truly be said: They “fought the good fight, finished
the race, and remained faithful.” 2 Timothy 4:7 (NLT)
Father, by your grace,
strength and for your glory, may we fight the good fight, finish the race and
complete our journey remaining faithful to you. And thank you Father for the
precious memories we have those who preceded us. In Jesus name. Amen.

Holy Spirit Power
Dear Father, I thank You that You are my Abba and have given Your Holy Spirit to me. I thank You for the power of Your Holy Spirit and I'm asking that You would help me be more aware of Your power rather than my weakness. You are a big and mighty God and I receive Your strength. Forgive me for making You too small in my life sometimes. Thank You that You are demonstrating Your power in me each day. Your Word says be strong in the Lord and in the strength of His might and I can do all things through Him who strengthens me. I will praise You with my whole heart and sing praise to Your name. What a powerful Name it is and what powerful promises have been given to us who believe in Jesus' name, Amen

created to worship
Lord God,
We exalt Your name above all names, knowing that Your power is great and mighty!
We come before You today with the words of Jesus in our hearts, "You shall worship the Lord Your God and him only shall you serve." (Matthew 4:10) We confess that we have many idols in our hearts, when we know that we are to only worship You. We confess that the ways of the world draw us in, but Your one desire is for us to be drawn to You.
Help us in our worship, O Lord. Help us to remove all that worship above You so that You hold the only place in our hearts that long to worship. For God, YOU ARE GOOD. You are worthy of praise. May we bow down at Your feet, acknowledging who You are. Reign in our hearts, Lord God.
Amen

Almighty God,
you know that we have no power in ourselves to help ourselves:
Keep us both outwardly in our bodies
and inwardly in our souls,
that we may be defended from all adversities
which may happen to the body,
and from all evil thoughts
which may assault and hurt the soul;
and inwardly in our souls,
that we may be defended from all adversities
which may happen to the body,
and from all evil thoughts
which may assault and hurt the soul;
through Jesus Christ our Lord,
who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit,
one God,
for ever and ever.
who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit,
one God,
for ever and ever.
Amen.

YOUR FIRE AND HAMMER
Jeremiah 23:29 "Is not my Word like fire", declares the Lord, "and like a hammer that breaks a rock in pieces?"
Your Word is like fire, O Lord. Take my doubts and delusions and make them like straw that is consumed in the flame of Your Truth. Where my heart is hard, make Your Word a hammer to shatter my self-will and resistance. Lord, soften my heart and purify me. I love You. Amen.

Heaven
Jennifer Slattery JenniferSlatteryLivesOutLoud.com
“Imagine a place free of pain,
sorrow, sickness, and sin. Imagine having nothing to fear—not rejection,
failure, loss, or death. Imagine experiencing perfect relational intimacy with
God and others. No more hiding, isolating, misunderstandings, or
misinterpretations. Nothing but love and unity—the deep community our hearts
long for. In heaven, with all of our deepest needs met and unhindered,
constant access to our Savior, we’ll discover—and live in—the true source of
joy, Jesus Christ, and the pleasures He grants will be eternal.”
Billy Graham: (In My
Answer Column)
“By the time you read
this, I will be in heaven, and as I write this I’m looking forward with great
anticipation to the day when I will be in God’s presence forever. I’m convinced
that heaven is far more glorious than anything we can possibly imagine right
now, and I look forward not only to its wonder and peace, but also to the joy
of being reunited with those who have gone there before me, especially my dear
wife, Ruth. The Bible says, “Now we see but a poor reflection as in a mirror;
then we shall see face to face” (1 Corinthians 13:12).
But I won’t be in heaven
because I’ve preached to large crowds or because I’ve tried to live a good
life. I’ll be in heaven for one reason: Many years ago I put my faith and trust in Jesus Christ, who died on the
cross to make our forgiveness possible and rose again from the dead to give us
eternal life. Do you know you will go to heaven when you die? You can, by
committing your life to Jesus Christ
today."
“For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that
whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.” (John 3:16).
John 14:1-3 (NLT)
1 “Don’t let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God, and trust also in me. 2 There is more than enough room in my Father’s home. If this were not so, would I have told you that I am going to prepare a place for you? 3 When everything is ready, I will come and get you, so that you will always be with me where I am.

possible through faith in your Son and our Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ. Amen!
