Prayer About Pleasing God By Faith
Most Precious Lord Jesus, Gentle And Wonderful God, Truly Awesome And
Ever-present Holy Spirit,
Precious Lord Jesus, I love you.
Because you found me and brought me back to you, I love you and I want to
do your will.
Because you found me and brought me back to you, I believe.
I believe you exist.
I believe you not only exist, I believe you walk beside me every minute I
am alive.
Because I believe, I want to live a righteous life for you.
Because I believe, I want to do the right thing for you and live so you
look upon me and smile.
Because I believe, Satan tries to get me to be unrighteous.
Because I believe, Satan tries to tempt me away from you.
Yet, I believe you exist and I believe you pull me away from evil when I
open my heart to your love.
Because I believe, I have followed you into strange territory but you came
to me and you made me feel at home.
Because I believe, I have followed you and did your bidding even when I
was not sure about why you asked me to do what you wanted.
Because I believe, I have followed you and you gave me your love for my
faithfulness.
Because I believe, you led me into the promised land within my heart where
the milk and honey of your love blesses me and keeps me.
Because I believe, you kept your promises to be with me all the days of my
life.
Because I believe, when I was without the tangibles of this world, you
piled high upon me the blessings of your intangibles.
Because I believe, whatever you promised me I shall receive.
Because I believe, if I do not receive your promises now I know you will
give me your promises when I see you in heaven.
Because I believe, I have always been a foreigner in a strange land but
you have always made me feel at home.
Too often I want to go back to places from my past�places of more warmth
and more love.
But you have been merciful to me and you have given me your healing warmth
and love to soothe the ache of my soul.
Although I will not likely live to see my earthly dreams come true, I know
there is for me a gleaming city on a hill just over the horizon�a
gleaming city formed by the love of your nail-scarred hands.
All these things I humbly pray in the name of my most Blessed Lord Jesus
Christ, my Mighty God, and my Ever-present Holy Spirit upon whom I can
rely.
Amen
