Prayer for salvation
Whilst our five senses strive for self-justification before Our Saviour, and we rigidly relax by racing the rumbling, robust, rampaging, rain clouds of self-righteousness that our cold calculating hearts continually stir up. Whilst our conscience continues to be hammered and hounded by speeding and stampeding skateboarders from Satan�s kingdom.
Whilst our brow is being sprayed by an unseemly stench of burst burdens that we have unnecessarily carried; empower us nevertheless, holy and merciful God, so that our unclean heart might turn from self absorption and prattle on like an out-of-tune rooster to Thee.
We turn to Thee Great triune God; for Thou art the Giver of life and listener of our prayers. We turn from wickedness; for Thou art uniquely more beautiful than beautiful. Assist us as empowered by Thy grace we set our hearts' compass to find Your eternal Word. Take our faltering faith and be our richest blessing, so that You might furnish us with Your fervent faith. Touch us O gracious, just, holy God of the Holy Bible. Teach us all to love and obey Your Beloved, Jesus Christ.
Touch our faulty thinking, earthquake-prone emotions, and erring decision-making; so that forevermore our hungering and thirsting shall be ever-increasingly to praise You, to thank You and to adore You. O yes, love us so lovingly, so that we can courageously and confidently bear witness that You are our inspiration. Touch us author and finisher of our faith, so that we can proceed to fight faithfully to teach and feed our neighbour Your thoughts, feelings and decisions as expressed in Your Holy Scriptures. As our hearts reach out to Thee, lion-hearted Lord, our heartfelt desire is that our relationship with Your eternal Shepherd, Jesus Christ, will deepen even more. Day by day we grow in insight of the immense debt and gratitude we owe Him for His atoning work on Calvary's Cross.
Encourage us to be brave and conscientious and guide us daily, so that we might pursue holiness and discover that Thee, Our treasured God triune, art a God of exquisite justice.
Your Word teaches us faithfully that all wintry wanderings are just for a season and that a blissful Summer awaits all who motivated by pure desire keep coming before Their hallowed Maker and Sustainer with rejoicing, thankful hearts.
May Summer always be just a song of thanksgiving away for you, precious friends of God's Word. And just as in past times many others have found His all glorious love, so also new or seasoned seekers like you can breathe in the fresh air of heaven who is Jesus Christ.
Call upon Him by surrendering your time and talent to His safekeeping and you will discover He is your eternal Summer. Commit yourself with all your heart, mind soul and strength to His Word; for He longs always to be Your truest Friend. Keep searching humbly for His beauty.
Keep working diligently to honour God�s Name and you�ll find upon hungering and thirsting after righteousness, that God will draw you to Jesus Christ, Your eternal Summer. Obey Him earnestly and exuberantly and you'll find His gracious salvation glory-to-glory transforming love will wash over you like the gentle in-flowing tide, as if you were relaxing hand-in-hand with Your Beloved sharing footprints in the sands by the sea.
