Our Prayer

Dear Lord, the Giver of excess
We invoked your name at the start of this assembly
We have sailed safely to the shore of the meeting
We have poured our thoughts as unqualified mortals
Seeking to be of worth in your hallowed presence
In our meek manner, we are limited in diction 
To present our boundless gratitude
We beseech you to accept our plea on your sanctified precinct
And now as we move into action
In your fullness of providence, and grand plans for us
We pray and hope to keep the faith
We bespeak our love and honor 
To you our Master in time and spirit
We are assured of your company for we ask as your children
We speak through your edict 
As tabled to us
As it was to Corinthians 
In the fourteenth verse 
Of the seventh Chapter
Of the First Book 
That if we, these mortals
Who are called by your name 
And you our Father 
Present our heart in words to your ear
You grant us the promises
This then we ask, in Jesus Name
Amen

God is not a liar...He 'Always' keeps His 'Promises'. Promises, which we receive a clear understanding of through the 'Light of His Holy Spirit'. With this in mind...may God in His Marvelous Wisdom and Power...(Psalm 19:14)...In Jesus Name, Amen. Fine work...luv~
