Recovered In Christ

Thank you for the hundreds of e-mails and texts supporting this and for sharing your heart with me!!! Here is a  prayer today that came from one of my closest friends – the most solid Christian man I know, Chris P.

Lord,

Please equip me so that I can resist all temptation from evil. Enable me to be prepared before temptation, before I enter into my own thoughts, before the earth has its way with me. Before I accept the advice from the world, that I am in, but not a part of, so that I see the enemy’s tactics from the moment they start to manifest. Give me the strength to resist entertaining temptation for even a second, so that I can still turn to you while there is still time, so that I can endure it. Give me the passion that I need to have for your word. Help me to memorize your word so that it is in every fiber of my heart, so I can shout it out loud when I am awake and meditate on it when I sleep. Lord show me that to protect my heart and soul, I need you, desperately.

Lord – I do not want to give birth to my sin, because when I do it’s too late to turn back, and I fall without protection, back into the flesh. Father, I so long to be with you, but it is not my time yet. More than anything I want your will to be done, not mine. But often I want you to take away my suffering and my pain, more than I want your blessings. Lord – your glory is my only desire, so help me to find real believers, so that we can be an army of servants for your kingdom – Lord, you have said that if any two of us on earth agree about anything we ask for, it will be done for us – by you. You are the father of all good things, the alpha and the omega, I lay on my face and worship you my loving father and as I fear and love you my God – how sweet it is to know that you will conquer all that oppose you. Use me as you see fit my Lord, to open up the eyes and the hearts of those that are still immersed in the dark.

Your loving servant,

Chris

Amen!
