A Prayer To Remember The Lord

Most Precious Lord Jesus, Gentle And Wonderful God, Truly Awesome And Ever-present Holy Spirit,
Precious Lord Jesus, I love you.
I stand at the precipice of doing great things for you.
I stand on the banks of the river of life flowing through me.
As much as I pray…
As much as I think about you…
As much of my life as I have spent doing your work and your will…
I still forget about you.
How I do this I do not know.
Things come at me from my blind side.
Thoughts, feelings, even actions come out of me I do not like and I know are ungodly.
I want to be pure and righteous before you.
I want to be holy before you.
I want to be worthy of your love.
However, I am just a lowly sinner trying to slog my way through the mess of life.
I love you.
I know you know I love you and I know you love me.
Help me remember more often you love me.
Help me remember more often the laws and decrees you have given me.
Help me remember you and your teachings by putting little invisible sticky notes on all my stuff.
On my monitor…
On my CPU…
On my keyboard…
Wherever and whatever you want to do is OK just so I do not forget you.
Thank you for listening.
It is a treasure to be able to go to you and pour out all I am.

********

If it is OK with you, I want to live a long time.
Oh, I know it would not be easy for me.
With all the afflictions I have now, old age will be anything but the golden years.
But maybe if you give me old age, I could continue to do your work a little longer.
Whatever you want to do, it's OK with me.

********

Bless all the people I know.
Pour out your blessings on those who are righteous.
Give the unrighteous a little stinger to remind them to shape up and be godly.
May it go well with everyone I have ever known and go well with anyone I meet in the future.

********

I read where you are one.
I read where you are not divided.
I read where you are not one way one minute and another way the next minute.
Age to age, you are the same.
You are the same love, the same compassion, the same truth, no matter what, no matter where, no matter when you are the same.
I don't have to worship several gods because you are one and only one.

********

I try to love you will all my heart, all my soul, and all my strength.
On bad days my heart breaks from my earthly afflictions and issues.
On bad days my soul aches from loneliness.
On bad days my strength is diminished.
However, on bad days I stop for just a moment in my pain and I think about you.
When I think about you something happens within me and all the bad things seem to melt away for awhile.

********

Write your words upon my heart.
Take the words from your holy word and put your words deep into my heart so I don't just think about your word, make it so your words are a part of me.

********

When I talk to my son, remind me to always talk to him about you.
When I sit at home, or at the doctor's office, or at the license branch, or waiting on whatever or whoever, help me self-talk to myself or talk to others about you.
No matter what I am doing, remind me more and more to think and talk about you night and day.
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
