Prayer-Propped Wishes

Assured by the Almighty, I wish to abide always in His authority
Blooming beautifully in His blissfulness’ bounty.

Cared for, I wish I could constantly convey compassion
Delighting the Director Who drives my divine devotion.

Enabled through Christ toward extra-mile engagement
Faith-fervency is my wish to fortify stewardship fulfillment.

Geared by God for good works’ graciousness greatly
Healthy heart of my body wishes to excel in helping hopefully.

Instructed by Scriptures, despite infirmities, to keep on inspiring
Jubilant wishes jolt out vain jests and inhumane jeering.

Kindled to know more from the Sovereign of His kingship
Love-wishes of mine lean toward His light-filled leadership.

Marveling at the Master’s moves midst His magnificent might
Nourished soul* is what I wish through His nurture day and night.

Offering to me reaching-out opportunities to optimize
Prince of peace, and His fellowship, I still wish to prioritize.

Quitting never to leave my Redeemer’s restive quietude
Revival is my wish rejuvenating spirituality’s rectitude.

Settled in the Saviour; in His sufficiency I’m satisfied
Triumphant thanksgiving is my wish to have, all the time, testified. 

Upheld unto godly undertakings --- unlimited
Vision heavenly --- I wish to vouch my vows --- victoriously-vented.

Working of the Holy Spirit I wish and pray not to wane
‘Xpecting for miraculous wonders only His ‘xcellence can ‘xplain.

Yearning to please my Creator Who welcomes my “yieldedness”
Zealous am I to live for Him, wishing for His favor’s zestfulness. 

*3John 1:2 Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth.

This is so like the Psalms that are acrostics using the Hebrew alphabet indicating the topic covers soup to nuts - A to Z.
