[hometext] => Sorry This Prayer Was So Long I Just Had To Get It Off My Chest !!!
[bodytext] => Help me, Jesus, to present myself to the Father as one who has died in Christ, and in Christ is alive from the dead, bearing about in my body the dying of our Lord, Jesus, and to descend each day into perfect dependence upon God and into the grave of You, Jesus. Manifest Your life in me and let humility be the mark that I claim, the baptism into the death of Christ. Help my soul enter into Your humiliation and find in You the power to see as Paul saw, that every thorn in my flesh is a blessing sent by You to humble me and to manifest Your grace and strength in me, help me to glory in those trials and sufferings that You send as Your servant Paul did. Lord, to take pleasure in them instead of asking for deliverence and to know that the place of humiliation is the place of blessing, of power and of joy and to ask for this gift in my heart, to be so freed from self that whatever is said about me or done to me is lost and swallowed up in the thought that You, Jesus, are all! Lord, in my trials, weaknesses and troubles let me know by bringing me low enough to realize that Your grace is all and to take pleasure in the very thing that brings me and keeps me low, Your strength, Lord, made perfect in my weakess, Your presence filling and satisfying my emptiness and then let me say with open mind and heart, Your grace is sufficient for thee, Your humility will be my Salvation, Lord, You are my humility, Your care and Your work. Let Your grace be sufficient for me to meet the temptation of my pride, let Your strength be perfected in my weakness, let, let me choose to be weak, to be low, to be nothing, let humility be my joy and my gladness, to gladly glory and take pleasure in my weakness and in all that can humble me and keep me low. Let Your power rest upon me, humble me and keep me humble, Lord, and let me trustfully and joyfully accept all that humbles, a joy that nothing can destroy. Jesus, I trust in You, let my conscience be my guide to full humility, help me to give gratitude to everything that You allow from within me, from friend or enemy, in nature or in grace, to remind me of my need of humbling and to help me to it, to be my very first duty before You, the Perpetual safeguard of my soul. Set my heart upon it as the source of all blessing and help me to learn to know all of my weaknesses, to die fully to myself and to be voluntarily and intelligently fitted to receive the promise from God, Who is the All in All. Breathe in me Holy Spirit, and perfect my humility in me each day. How small I am before You, Lord, nothing in Your presence at all, make my destiny to be emptier, lowlier, unnoticed and unknown, Holy and filled with Christ alone!!! AMEN !!

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
