Dear Lord ...
Dear Lord,

Even in the midst of great trials, you are there. Through our weaknesses, you are strong, Lord, always lifting us up ... in spite of the storm clouds that rage on before us. But, the fire you send out enlightens us and uplifts us; an eternal flame. The only Holy One is You, blessed Lord.

May Your candle of love ever be in us, touching hearts, changing lives and revealing Your glory to the pilgrims in search of a brighter tomorrow. We are Your people. We march on, Lord. As You send us to a lost and dieing world, may we march on ~ still to victory, holding forth the flaming banner of Your love.

All things are possible to them that believe and, Oh Father, we do believe in You and we believe in all You can and will do.

We thank you, Father God, for the answers to all the prayers prayed here on this little corner of the universe. There is a people whose builder and maker is God. You, Father, are the master builder of it all and we do have a firm foundation in Jesus, the Rock of our Salvation. Be lifted up, everlasting doors, and the King of Glory shall come in ... and the King of Glory shall come in.

Lord, we praise you. We love you. There truly is none like you. Forever and ever, we shall bow down our hearts and lives to You. Knowing this truly, we trust in You fully and that You are working it all out to our good, because Your Word says it. We delight in you. So, the promise is coming ~ you would fulfill the desires of our heart. Our desire, more than ever before, is that the lost would come to know You. Send us, Lord, and we shall go wheresoever You lead us. Fill our hearts and minds, and let our words be all You want of us.

Lord, let us always and forever praise You. Let Your voice speak forth in and through us. Let Your ways be seen. After all, to the world, the only Jesus they see is in us.

Lord let us always honor You in all we say and do. May You say of each of us, "Well done, thou Good and Faithful Servant!" and we shall dwell with you on that glorious day, when you call us from immortalness to immortality, in the twinkling of an eye. SELAH ... In Jesus' name. Amen.
