Prayer Pleas
Prayer-pleas of best wishes’ are requests of my earnest heart...
May You, my dear Lord, grant, as for Your sake I do my utmost part
Becoming a blessing to others by the grace and mercy You impart
While in Your perfect will* I abide, thru Your strength – never to depart!
Enable me, my God, to love with Your compassion zeal...
Guard my soul against selfishness of arrogance-appeal
Pardon my hypocrisy in the guise of servanthood’s deal
Keep me submissive to Your control while in sincerity I kneel.
I beseech likewise for a praise-driven spirit, gratefully triumphant...
Led by Your wisdom along Your truth that can free the ignorant
For me to teach what’s right midst the scripturally vigilant
Sharing the faith that honours You ... worshipfully jubilant!
*Romans 12:2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.
