Today's Poem: The Humble Soul’s Resolve
Come humble sinner, in whose breast
A thousand thoughts revolve
Come with your guild and fear oppressed
And make this last resolve
I’ll go to Yeshua, tough my sin
Hath like a mountain rose
I know His courts, I’ll enter in
Whatever may oppose
Prostrate I’ll lie before His Throne
And there my guild confess
I’ll tell Him I’m a wretch undone
Without His Sovereign Grace
I’ll, to the Gracious King approach
Whose sceptre pardon gives
Perhaps He may command my touch
And then the suppliant lives
I can but perish if I go
I am resolved to try
For if I stay away, I know
I must forever die
But if I die, with mercy sought
When I, the King have tried
This were to die (delightful thought)
As sinner never died
PRAYERS OF THE OLD TESTAMENT --- PART 6
Almighty YAHVEH, Father of all mercies, we, Your unworthy servants, give You humble and heartfelt thanks for all Your goodness and loving-kindness to us and to all people. We bless You for our creation, preservation and all the blessings of this life, but above all for Your limitless love in the redemption of the world by our Adonai Yeshua HaMashiach; for the means of grace and for the hope of glory. And, we humbly request, give us a sense of all Your mercies, that our heart may be openly thankful, and that we may show forth Your praise, not only with our lips but in our life, by giving up ourselves to Your service and by walking before You in Holiness and righteousness all our days, through Yeshua HaMashiach our Saviour, to whom with You and Ruach HaKodesh be all honour and glory, world without end. (1 Chronicles 17).
Adonai Elohim, grant us grace to desire You with our whole heart, that so desiring, we may seek and find You; and so finding You, we may love You; and loving You, we may hate those sins from which You have redeemed us, for the sake of Maran Rabbeinu Yeshua HaMashiach. (2 Chronicles 1).
Grant unto us, Almighty YAHVEH, the peace of Elohim that passes all understanding that we, amid the storms and troubles of this life, may rest in You, knowing that all things are within You. We are not only beneath Your eye but under Your care, governed by Your will and guarded by Your love. With a quiet heart may we see the storms of life, the cloud and the thick darkness, ever rejoicing to know that the darkness and the light are both alike to You. Guide, guard and govern us to the end, that none of us may fail to gain immortal life; through Yeshua HaMashiach our Saviour. (2 Chronicles 14).
O gracious Father, who opens Your hand and fills all things living with plenteousness: Bless the lands and waters and multiply the harvests of the world; let Your Spirit go forth, that it may renew the face of the earth; show Your loving-kindness, that our land may give increase; and save us from selfish use of what You give, that men and women everywhere may give you thanks; through HaMashiach our Adonai. (2 Chronicles 31).
Let us give thanks to HaMashiach and offer Him continual praise, for He sanctifies us and calls us His brothers and sisters. Adonai, help us to grow in holiness. With single-minded devotion we dedicate this day to the honour of Your resurrection; may we make the whole of this day pleasing to You by our works of Holiness. As a sign of Your love, You renew each day for the sake of our well-being and happiness; renew us daily for the sake of Your glory. Teach us today to recognize Your presence in all men, especially in the poor and in those who mourn. Grant that we may live today in peace with all men, never rendering evil for evil. (Ezra 1).
Grant us grace to come near You with faith unshaken and full of hope to confess our trespasses and despise them. Let Your Spirit reprove us for our sins. Enlighten our hearts that we may see how greatly did we err, misbehave, and forsake the way. Grant us determination to forsake evil that we may be established in Your commandments and live to glorify Your holy Name. (Ezra 10)
Our weakness Adonai, gives You continual opportunity for displaying Your strength. And opposition to Your church gives You continual opportunity for displaying your power. Thus, at times of persecution, when we feel weak in the face of our enemies, sustain our heart with your strength, and defeat Your enemies by Your mighty power. And may the blood that Your faithful people shed today become the soil in which Your church grows and flourishes in the future. (Nehemiah 4).
Almighty YAHVEH, Father of our Maran Rabbeinu Yeshua HaMashiach grant we pray, that we might be grounded and settled in Your truth by the coming of Your Ruach Kodesh in our hearts. What we do not know, reveal to us; What is lacking within us, make complete; That which we do not know, confirm in us; And keep us blameless in Your service, Through Yeshua HaMashiach our Adonai. (Nehemiah 13).
Almighty YAHVEH, King of kings, who has called us into a Kingdom not of this world: Send forth Your Spirit, we pray, into the dark dwelling places of guilt and woe. Reach the heart of every oppression, and make arrogance silent before Your presence. Still the noise of our strife. Put to shame the false idols of every heart. Bring faith to the doubting, hope to those who fear, strength to the powerless, and comfort to all who mourn. O Adonai, bestow Your Word on faithful witnesses, so that Your Kingdom may come quickly. May Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven; through HaMashiach our Adonai. (Esther 4).
Thought for Today: Sunday September 26: Be Complete
“The kingdom of G-d is within you”. (Luke 17:21)
G-d has placed in your personality all the ability you need. You have only to believe in Him and yourself and the strength within you will be released. In saying the verse, try it this way: “G-d’s abundance, peace and power are within me. I lack for nothing.”
Poem for Today: Point of View
I've heard it said, "Don't go to bed
While hanging on to sorrow.
You may not have the chance to laugh
With those you love tomorrow."
You may not mean the words you speak
When anger takes its toll.
You may regret your actions
once you've lost your self-control.
When you've lost your temper
and you've said some hurtful things
think about the heartache
that your action sometimes brings.
You'll never get those moments back
such precious time to waste
and all because of things you said
in anger and in haste.
So if you love someone
and your pride has settled in
you may not ever have the chance
to say to them again,
"I love you and I miss you
and although we don't agree
I'll try to see your point of view
please do the same for me."
PRAYERS OF THE OLD TESTAMENT --- PART 5
May YAHVEH, Who pardoned David through Nathan when he confessed his sins, and Peter weeping bitterly for his denial, and the sinful woman weeping at his feet and the publican and the Prodigal Son, may the same Elohim forgive thee all things… . Have no further care for the sins which thou hast confessed, depart in peace.
(2 Samuel 12).
O YAHVEH, the Source of all being and all joy, give us knowledge of ourselves, our powers and weaknesses, our spirit, our sympathy, our imagination, our knowledge, our truth; teach us by the standard of Your Word, by the judgments of others, by examinations of ourselves; give us the earnest desire to strengthen ourselves continually by study, by diligence, by prayer and meditation; and from all fancies, delusions and prejudices of habit or temper or society, save us and help us, we humbly beseech You, O Adonai. (1 Kings 3).
Almighty YAHVEH, enter our hearts and so fill us with Your love that, forsaking all evil desires, we may embrace You, our only good. Show us, in Your mercy Adonai Eloheinu, what You are to us. Say to our souls; I am Your salvation. Speak that we may hear. Our hearts are before you; open our ears; let us seek Your voice and cling to You. Do not hide Your face from us, we pray, O Adonai. Enlarge the narrowness of our souls that You may enter in. Repair the decayed mansions that You may dwell there. Hear us, O heavenly Father, for the sake of Your only Son, Yeshua HaMashiach, our Adonai, who lives and reigns with You and Ruach HaKodesh, now and forever. (1 Kings 8).
Holy One, You promised the poor and needy ones that, when their tongues were parched and no water could be found, Your rivers would spring forth from the desert to relieve them. Today we thirst; bless us with Your living water. Break our drought; surge through our spirits, that we may live again. (1 Kings 17).
O Heavenly Father, the Father of all wisdom, understanding, and true strength, I humbly ask You to look mercifully upon me. Send Ruach HaKodesh into my heart, not only that I may understand according to Your wisdom how to bear temptation, but also how to defeat it. When I must join to fight in the field for the glory of Your Name, may I stand courageously in the confession of Your faith and truth, being strengthened by the defence of your right hand. May I continue to stand faithfully to the end of my life, through Yeshua HaMashiach our Adonai. (1 Kings 22)
Father in heaven, draw our hearts to You, that our hearts may be where our treasures ought to be, that our minds and thoughts may look to Your Kingdom, whose citizens we are. Thus, when You shall call us hence, our departure may not be a painful separation from this world but a joyous meeting with You. Strengthen in our heart the conviction that in life, as in death, we belong to You. (2 Kings 2).
Gracious Father, we humbly beseech You for Your universal church. Fill it with all truth, in all truth with all peace. Where it is corrupt, purge it; and where it is in error, direct it; where it is superstitious, rectify it; where anything is amiss, reform it; where it is right, strengthen and confirm it; where it is in want, furnish it; where it is divided and rent asunder, make up its breaches, O Holy One of Israel. (2 Kings 12).
Adonai, teach me the art of patience while I am well and give me the use of it when I am sick. In that day either lighten my burden or strengthen my back. Make me, who so often in my health have discovered my weakness presuming on my own strength, to be strong in my sickness when I solely rely on Your assistance. (2 Kings 20).
Adonai Elohim, Avi, we know that we are dear children of Yours and that You are our beloved Father, not because we deserve it, nor could we ever merit it, but because our dear Adonai, Your only begotten Son, Yeshua HaMashiach, wills to be our brother and of His own accord offers and makes this blessing known to us. Since we may consider ourselves his brothers and sisters and he regards us as such, You will permit us to become and remain Your children forever. (1 Chronicles 4)
O Adonai Yeshua HaMashiach, Good Shepherd of the sheep, who came to seek the lost and to gather them to Your fold, have compassion on those who have wandered from You; feed those who hunger, cause the weary to lie down in your pastures, heal those who are broken in heart, and strengthen those who are weak, that we, relying on Your care and being comforted by Your love, may abide in Your guidance to our life’s end; through Yeshua HaMashiach our Master. (1 Chronicles 11).
