lead me to the cross

Lead me to the cross where Your love poured out
lead me to my knees i belong to You
rid me of myself Lord i lay me down
led me to the cross
led me to YOUR heart


Oh God i long to be like You
to love like YOU
to forgive as YOU
to shine like YOU
to heal as YOU

lead me to the altar of self sacrifice
tie me down tight with many strong ropes
for my flesh is fighting with all it has
and my human heart seeks prideful applause

tear out of me this human condition
this self preservation and self adoration
this sin born in me at birth
be a fire burning in my bones seeking You

rise in me my GOD and be not a gentleman
it is my request even my deep desire
to be destroyed and recreated in Your image
to shine like the SON and glorify You Father

oh SAVIOR i come
quiet my soul
redemptions here, where Your blood was spilt
where YOU in the flesh bore my sins in death
now i rise with YOU
now i am made new like YOU

Comfort

You oh Lord are my comfort
there is no other that consoles me as You
no drug, no drink, no human, no animal
no one, no thing

You know my deep thoughts
You know the inmost desires
my thoughts are from Your thoughts
my desires are from Your desires
I have spent time with You oh Lord
and my heart is calm
my spirit at peace.

You great King walk with me
You great King lavish me with blessings
my walk follows Your directions
my provision is always from You
I have laid all into Your capable hands
and no danger catches me
no need besets me

what comfort i find in You my Master
oh creator of all things
where can i find comfort except in You
the doctors gains wisdom from You
the learned teacher learned from You
the wisest of wise have none compared to You
I lay all my trust in You, my comfort
As i am in Your protective, provision i want not
I am found at peace on every side
You cause me to smile in the face of even death
for You have defeated even its cold grip

My comfort is in You oh Lord
my comfort is in You

The Words of my Mouth

Father guide the words of my mouth
as they are uttered through these lips
allow only words that edify
allow only words that uplift

Words have power my Lord
that is why i speak Your written word
when i am afraid of terror at night
when i am caught in temptations fight

Words have life within them Father
give me calm and loving words
to teach and encourage others
to correct and train in Your ways

Words have death when they are misused
harsh and condemning knives they are
when thrown carelessly in ridicule
when shot across in mean jest

Oh Father guide my words
harness my tongue from careless use
keep my speech for Your words alone
take hold any negative word entering my mind

Father guard my tongue
help me bind it strong even when lashed myself
to reply with a calm quiet response
to reply with love filled truth

Struggle

God hear me tonight as i fight
old enemies have joined forces
and bombarded my senses
Hold me tightly Jesus lest i fall

My end could be so much worse
than the walk of my previous course
bid my heart up tight oh Lord
and strap it to Your own

The flesh is such a terrible thing
coming moment by moment against me
pulling me continually with out rest
resist resist submit, submit

Oh God do not let me fall into sin
tear the thoughts far far from me
I give up all earthly desires and satisfaction
just to be with You oh God

just to be with You

ELements of Spiritual Prayer by Shirley Dobson

ELements of Spiritual Prayer by Shirley Dobson


In Keep in Step with the Spirit, J.I. Packer lists four elements of spiritual prayer:
First it is a matter of seeking, claiming, and making use of access to God through Christ (Ephesians 2:18).
Then the Christian adores and thanks God for his acceptance through Christ and for the knowledge that through Christ his prayers are heard.
Third, he asks for the Spirit’s help to see and do what brings glory to Christ, knowing that both the Spirit and Christ himself intercede for him…(Romans 8:26-27, 34).
Finally, the Spirit leads the believer to concentrate on God and his glory in Christ with a sustained, single-minded simplicity of attention and intensity of desire…supernaturally wrought.
May each of these bring you new spiritual intensity.
Prayer for Today: Praise God for accepting you through Christ; repent of any failure to use your access to God through Christ; ask for His Spirit’s power in living this day in integrity; yield to Him by doing what is right wherever you’ve been tempted to do otherwise.

Intercession

Oh Father, standing in the gap
pacing the top of the wall i gasp
how deep is the evil around us
how decieved the created is
spitting in Your face
and You still seek their salvation

Father You have sent others to speak
They bear Your heart
It is in every word of peace and hope
it is the words of life
living and active words strong words
to tear down walls and strongholds

Oh God empower those sent to speak
Saturate them with Your Holy Spirit
Permeate every part of them
tongue, eyes, nose, ears
Make them an extension of Your hands
Make people run after You thru them

Keep me fully aware of Your working
open my eyes to the spiritual realms
open my ears to hear spiritual words
the fights in hearts, deep in souls
make me a tool for Your will
keep me as a clean conduit of Your will to earth

Father keep my heart bound to Yours
As You feel me by the lesser food of prayer
and satisfy me with the greater food of Your word
discipline me quickly so my prayers are heard
i crucify my flesh in sacrifices of submission to You
keep my point of view clearly Yours
that i may fully pray Your will boldly without fear full of love


amen

Trust

God, trust comes difficult for me
trust has been misused and
thrown back at me

God Your love is faithful
You have stood by me and
have held me up

God help me trust you more
work in my heart and
help me understand I am safe

God You know the emotions i feel
You alone read the words and
understand the silence

God hold me close to Your heart
let me hear Your voice in my ear and
tell me more of Your ways

God speak to my soul my King
You who created all of me and
blew Your breath of life inside me

God trust comes difficult for me
bind me to Your heart for mine lies and
this human state I am in fights me

God I trust You to help me trust You
to work in me to do Your will and
love Your law more and more

God my love for You is the push
to trust You, that and Your faithfulness and
Your unconditional love for me

Oh Father how my heart breaks!
the tears i watch them fall
from eyes that constantly praise You
the pained heart breaking
that worships You always

What words oh Lord do I utter
to any comfort may I lead them
help me my King to help them
as they have no control
what their children do


 You know father that my desire is to lift You up
I long only to guide the hurting to You
my only breath is a map with words
marking the narrow path to You
past the torn veil into Your pressence

Fullness of Joy is found there with You
Even through the hardest of trial
the darkest of night and blinding water
use me to guide them Lord
as my life lifts Your son Jesus up

Hold me Lord Cover me

No hand LORD can ever touch me as YOU do
many nights my tears YOU alone have seen
Holding tight my heart peices
mending them together

Oh GOD I need YOUR touch tonight
Father I hold on to what YOU have held out
YOUR hand of healing
My eyes they run with the salty sea overflowing

Heavy am I with emotion
questions without answers, I already know
I know YOU can not tell me all things
so I hold on to YOUR faithfulness

Come in the clouds of my mind tonight GOD
My lying heart speaks of the unfair world
while my mind reasons there is a reason in it all
my spirit turns from both to lay my head on YOUR knee

Hold me LORD cover me
I run to YOUR embrace, protection
I stay close to YOU in the secret of the stairs
I lay at YOUR feet and find comfort

I will rest and wake to serve YOU
knowing that all is in YOUR hands calms me
it removes all doubt and questions
I will lift my eyes and fix them on YOU LORD

Defeat my Giant


Oh my God, You are my God.
You are King of the universe
You are the God of the angel armies
You are the Master of all creation
You alone stand in perfect power

Come and aid me!
Pour Your Spirit into me and strengrhen me
Give me courage and strength like Joshua
Father send me confidently into my promised land
Help me for all i see are the giants

My heart burns to follow and obey
to do the bidding of You Lord
hungry to be a vessel of Your love


My hands ache to reach out for You
to land hand on the sick
to see them recover

my feet are ever so eager to go
to carry the good news of freedom
and watch the enslaved become free

Help me defeat my giants Father
fear of failure, low self esteem
help me trust You and not my own sight
tear from me the desire of self preservation

Arise and be actively working inside me
causing me to grow more and more hungry to follow
daily burning hotter to do Your will
grow my love of Your commands
that i may be ever more eager to keep them

I ask You my King, the Holder of my heart
to invade my whole being
change me from the inside out
make me like You because i am my own giant

Defeat my Giant

Repentant

Oh Father, the door stood open
Jesus You held out Your hand
Holy Spirit a warning You alarmed
visual, consideration, action, birth - sin

Father come to my aid
forgive me again
I am not worthy of Your Sons blood
But Your grace pours it on me anyway

Father consider my sad existence
this world of flesh in which i find my abode
how it fights me at every turn
Its desire like a dog after the scent of a female

Consider, my Creator, my weak and poor state
that there is no good in me but You
I long for You to be all thats in me
help me overcome as i stand up again

Oh Jesus I know Your are patient and kind
You hold my hand as i rise to You
through true repentance I come
A hard lesson learned indeed
from even the appearance of evil flee!

The day after Freedom



The closer you get to Jesus the harder your heart burns for the lost.
I have spent many hours praying for people i may never meet, people whose name I do not even know. The more that Jesus helps me the more i want to help others.

I find that my hearts burns for people to understand the truth that they can really trust God.

I find that my tears flow freely when Jesus is quickly rejected.

I find that my view changes the more time i spend with Jesus.

The encouraging thing is that with all the burning, crying and view changing I am reminded, as is my enemy, that Gods Word is alive and active in me. In You too. This is our hope that we can pray God to be active in other peoples lives. We can allow the Holy Spirit to pray through us things we don't know, Gods will flowinng  through us in the form of prayer.

You see it does not matter if you have never meet the man you are praying for because as you pray more and more for him, or her, you feel Gods heart for them. The closer you get to Jesus the more your heart reflects, feels and responds like Gods ------  desirous that all should come to salvation. 





















Physical Pain

My God who sits in heaven
Who rules in righteousness and truth
By the power of His word I was made
My lips continually praise Your name
For You are marvelous and wonderful

Though my flesh cries and weeps
I will press on and not fear tomorrow
Though pain grips my chest
I will glory in the privilege to shine
For in such a time I can glorify Jesus

Speaking confidence in Him
Speaking belief and faith in His will

Without complaint, without anger
But by love and the power of Gods hand
When I am chosen to be tested
Will I let it slip from me
Never! Be it a time to cling to God

To show my trust is in who He is
In the rough and the soft meadows
And I shall run fully out into the storm
When it rises on the horizon
For then it is my turn to ride strong winds
In this I will mount on eagles wings
And fly higher than I could before
Oh such mystery it is to me!

Thru pain we grow and in weakness He is strongest
When my body is sorely pained and weak
Ands as sleep eludes me, hiding in the shadows
That Your Spirit calls to my spirit
And sustains me as if I were first awakened
My spirit at peace, content and full of Joy

When my mind is clouded
And my own thoughts are a mystery to me
Your Spirit, oh God speaks out for me
And calls on my behalf
Interceding and speaking to the Father
The very things that are needed

In these day I will grow deeper with Him
He will meet me at the mountain top when I arrive
And dine with me at the table He prepared
He will look at the enemy and send him away
For in all things did I continue to praise Gods name

Oh joy and happiness
To know such provision has been made for me
The Spirit that lives within me
The same Spirit that raised Christ from the dead
The Spirit that bears witness for who I am in Christ
Calls out for my deliverance and rescue
Speaking all that I need both day and night.

Your Great Love

How well my soul trusts in You Lord
Surely all see Your hand in my life
Continually Your praise pours from my lips
Unceasingly I acknowledge Your provision
Without hesitation I speak of Your favor to me

You have called me lovely dove
You have called me Your bride
Your love burns right through me
oh so deeply You love me God
It is as if all of heaven holds me close

How well I know Your love for me
To share it with all who will listen
To share with all who want to be loved
Let me shout from the rooftop
let me tell of Your great great love God

I would make myself a spectacle
If but for one to come to cling to Your love
If just for one to become clean
rescued from the lie that love is painful
To be redeemed from death and given life

How great Your love is for us God
How great our devotion is to be to You
Let me continually serve with heated fervor
Let me always seek You first
Move in me to desire to please You with my life

My Comfort

Father, I come to You
Father, my emotions are spent
            my heart is all full
            my spirit pulled low

Father, I come to You
Father, I need Your touch
            I need the hem of Your garment
            I need to be with You

Fill me again with Your compassion
Fill me again with Your love
Fill me again with Your mercy
the same as when You found me
the same as when You freed me

Father, I am parched and dried out now
Father, I have given away all You gave
            I have freely poured out to all
            I have been Your vessel this day

Father, They are as vultures after life
Father, They draw my strength out
            Seeking life they drain me
            Seeking acceptance they surround me
            Seeking reassurance they cling to me


Father, If they only knew of You
Father, If they could walk in my shoes
            They could know of Your life
            They could know of Your strength
            They could have love..... help me show them YOU



Fill me again with Your compassion
Fill me again with Your love                                                                                                                      
Fill me again with Your mercy                                                    
the same as when You found me
the same as when You freed me
                                                                                                                              
Father, I will pour out all You give me
Father, I will give away the mercy You give me
Father, I will go where You send me
Father, As long as You ask me I will go
            As long as You sustain me I will go
            As long as You hold me I will go.
            As long as I have You Father, I will go.

Help me leave the world behind Lord!
With all its desire and lure to my senses.
All the immediate sensations and appeasement.

Draw my heart to You oh my God! Jesus
hold me close to You and Spirit help me see truth!
all day long am I surrounded by the enticing smells and aroma of sin.

all day long am I standing upon my freedom from the bondage of sin, and cling to You Jesus for purchasing my freedom! Oh help me put sin far from me.

My heart is steadfast oh Lord, create a clean heart inside my chest! One that pants for Your approval all day long! Cause my eyes to see You as my only source of satisfaction and life.
Let the knowledge that I live on Your very word better than food itself be my meditation. Remind me that I am sustained by the very words of Your son Jesus and You uphold me with Your right arm.

I daily feel my flesh and heart longing for this world and its pleasures and so I welcome every trial that You help me walk in victory through. When i awake I go quickly to You my Lord and give myself to You, submitting control to You because my own heart is deceitful and I am weak on my own. I am born with the tendency to pull away from You my Savior, to wander as a lost sheep so I am quick to give my life a living sacrifice to You and submit my thoughts under Your control.

As Jesus has prayed for me Lord keep me from the evil one! Allow me to be a tool for Your kingdom in this world drawing all peoples to You and bringing You glory. Empower me to do Your will and teach me how to hate the sin and love the sinner.

You are My Good Thing

Psalm 16:7-9
“The wise counsel God gives when im awake is confirmed by me sleeping heart.  Day and night I’ll stick with God, I’ve got a good thing and I’m not letting go.”


Oh God how You have held me up and preserved me!
You have kept me for Your own plans and pleasures
People said of me look she is abandoned by her God
And He has made her an orphan, a widow
But my heart knows the truth of the matter
You my king have taken me in and now hold me up
You have given me Your ring and robe
They can not see for their eyes are empty sockets
All they view is there own darkness without Your light
I walk in a wide space because of Your Hand on me

I drink and never thirst because of Your fountain inside me
I eat manna not of this earth because You are my food
When can I go and be with You for real
Not only in spirit as I worship in mind and spirit
My soul aches for eternity when we shall see Your face
When all light will be from Your glory alone casting out all shadows
That is what I daydream about, going to Your place
Living there with You and forgetting this corrupted world
You are like a wine and I can not seem to drink enough

You fill me until my mouth overflows and still I want more
I could drown in Your presence so pour Yourself into me!
My heart shouts Your praise and calls to You from the mountain
Come now and let me rest  and lay my head in Your lap
Where else will I find comfort and peace
Where else will I find refreshment and energy
Where else will I find joy and contentment
Ah yes it is within the bosom of Your embrace
And yet as I desire You and constantly run after You
I find it is You who seeks me out as well

You have longed to know me and hold me
Since the day You created me with Your laughter
You have watched me grow and stand up
You have patiently waited the day I would find You
With eagerness You purposed to me
You have succeeded and captured my heart
Your goodness has enslaved me forever
It is Your love Oh God that has covered me head to toe
You are my choice Oh God and I am Yours.

Forgiven

How marvelous that my sins are forgiven!  They can never be found again and I am overjoyed with the entire idea. Completely marked out and erased,. as if they never even existed. What power and righteousness God must possess to do such a thing!


After all sin is a repugnant smell to God, it makes Him want to vomit.  I once was indeed an enemy toward God, always causing trouble and fighting agains Him. But now I bask in His glory, I am refressed in His presence but most of all I am forgiven.  The price i could not repay short of death has been conceled. The blood of Jesus has canceled out my sin, as if it was never even there.


Praise the Father, Son and Holy Ghost who all play an entricate part of this process. Being made whole, the robbed and prepared and finally recieveding His grace and forgiveness. Filled with love and compassion. 

You Care For Me

All day long my ears listen for you, Your wisdom and knowledge are a worthy treasure.
I consider the high institutes of learning, its classrooms and proffessors full of knowledge then realize they know nothing compared to You God.
On my best day You have more to offer than me. How is it that I try to solve my own problems? Can i attain to see the future and know the best path?
Do i dare to map out the best journey for my life because i know whats best for me?


Saddly, it is not in me to know what is best for me Father, but gratefully I listen all day to hear Your counsel because You have my best interest at heart. My name is carved on Your arm and my heart is bond to Yours. You treat me as You treat me as Your own child. Discipline, reward and provision, then all the promises that come along side! Truely I am blessed by You.


Father I am grateful You are aware of my low, helpless estate and constantly wandering because You take care of me. I do not need to fret, worry or go without sleep because by choice You, God, Care for me.

Cover Me

Lord You are a great cover over me!

Your warmth is my peace when the world is cold and I am grateful You care for me. Lord You alone are able to stop the bullet, break the arrow and save me from the enemies snare!  As i take each step You hace order for me You are a shelter around me against the enemy.

God when those who hate me tried to break me into temptation it was You my Father who opened a window of escape. Oh how i am protected by Your hand! A fortress around me and my household You have become and my night is filled with peaceful rest all my days. The forces of this world come in like a flood and You scatter them and they retreat in many directions. their tails tucked they run back to their master! Greater is He who is in me than he who is in this world!

Oh my wonderful Daddy God, You have captured my heart! as You keep me from harm teach me Your ways. Teach me and prune me to bear even more fruit for You. Keep me as I give you me.

Awake my King

Awake awake my soul, the source of my strength is nigh! My King does not sleep or slumber ah but He holds all time in His hands. He who is not bond by night and day, seasons and schedules. Awake my soul and be glad, Rejoice!
Your God has put His strength on you like a fine rob of David! the heavens declare you are His and the angels sing praise to the lamb whose blood has stained the rob red with blood! tis the blood of freedom and restoration. Awake oh arise and be about Gods business for the spirit has strength to over power the flesh, the enemy we live with that so easily causes us to stumble. 
But You Great King, my God i walk in Your strength to do all things, Through Christ it is possible. In sickness my fleshes weeps but my soul will praise the Creator and Healer. In hardship my stomach grumbles but my mouth sings gladness to the Fruit Bearer. 
Awake my soul and count your blessing, how the King loves you and cares for you. You are of high cost, and greatly treasured by God and nothing can cause trouble for you and Him. All day long He is with you waiting for moments alone. He eagerly meets you on schedule and fully blesses you as you seek Him. So I have pulled close and cling to Your strength around me and I am warn and safe.

All Hemmed In

God You have hemmed me in! I no longer need to fear what mere humans can do to me, what any of creation may try. It is such wonderful news to take in and my mind can not lay hold to it, understanding goes beyond my capacity.

You Father have placed Your hand of blessing on me and there is nowhere i can go that i am alone! In the valleys You are with me, in the shadows You are my light, in the dessert Your are my drink, in the cold Your are my blanket and in the storm You are my comfort. How wonderful to serve such a loving God!

Your strength supports me and You ride the wings of morning just to be with me! I do not deserve such faithfulness but i accept it all the same. You are my portion God, a sour taste that fills my soul with sweetness. Always You know the correct path and eagerly show me. Always You have what is needed and wait only for me to ask. Always You call me to Your side and rescue me from myself.

Protect me this day my Father, from the evil plots of the enemy. For each thing he seeks to tear down, build even higher. For each thing he seeks to destroy, increase its stability. For each thing he seeks to steal, restore 7 fold. Guide me because i seek You and no other, so that Your name will be glorified.

Psalm139:5

MY PRAYER

FATHER GOD HOW MARVELOUS YOU ARE! YOUR BEAUTY LEAVES THE EARTH SPEECHLESS, YOUR FACE IS THE DESIRE OF EVERY LIVING CREATURE. THE TREES STRETCH UPWARD IN THE EFFORT TO BE IN YOUR PRESENCE, THE MOUNTAINS ROLL AND TREMBLE TO GAIN YOUR GLANCE. THE SEA WAVES MOVE IN BEAUTIFUL SOUND TO PRAISE YOU AS THE DOLPHINS DANCE IN A JOINED PRAISE OF ADORATION. THE BIRDS SING AND FLY HIGH TO CATCH A GLANCE OF YOUR BEAUTY, THE EAGLE SOARS ON YOUR BREATH ALL DAY LONG. HOW CAN I REFUSE TO PRAISE!


MY GOD HOW GOOD YOU ARE TO ME, ONCE AN ENEMY YOU POURED YOUR GRACE ON ME AND SAVED ME. YOUR UN MATCHED LOVE FOR ME HAS MADE A WAY OF FORGIVENESS AND YOUR DEEP DESIRE TO HAVE ME CREATED A PATH TO COME TO YOU ONCE AGAIN. YOU ALL MY LIFE, MY LOVE AND MY ALL.
IT IS YOUR WORD, JESUS WHO HAVE GIVEN ALL TO HAVE ALL OF ME, AND I GIVE YOU ALL I AM TO HAVE ALL OF YOU. IT IS BECAUSE OF YOU I AM FREE FROM THE TYRANNY AND JUDGEMENT OF SIN, I AM FREE AND FOUND NOT GUILTY ALL BECAUSE OF YOU JESUS. MY ONLY SOURCE OF GRATITUDE AND REPAYMENT IS A LIVING SACRIFICE OF MYSELF TO YOU, AND EVEN THAT STILL FALLS SHORT. 


FOR THIS REASON I ASK ONLY ONE THING OF YOU MY GOD, NOTHING ELSE IS OF ANY WORTH EXPECT THIS ONE REQUEST --- REIGN IN MY LIFE! FILL ME WITH YOUR HOLY SPIRIT AND WORK IN ME TO DESIRE TO OBEY YOUR LAWS, TO DESIRE TO BE FAITHFUL, TO DESIRE TO PLEASE YOU. FOR MY HEART OH GOD WOULD BETRAY US BOTH AND TURN FROM YOU AND I FEAR THE VERY THOUGHT OF LIFE WITHOUT YOU. BIND MY HEART TO YOURS AND HOLD ME IN YOUR LOVE. CHASTISE ME WHEN I AM WRONG, CORRECT ME WHEN I SIN. AS A FATHER DISCIPLINES HIS CHILD SO DO TO ME FOR I DO NOT KNOW WHAT IS BEST FOR MYSELF AND YOU DO. I TRUST YOU WITH MY LIFE. I KNOW YOU HAVE THE BEST PLANS FOR ME, TO BLESS AND BUILD UP NOT DESTROY AND TEAR DOWN. 


AS YOU HAD MERCY ON ME WHEN I WAS YOUR ENEMY AND SAVED ME, DO THE SAME NOW AND KEEP ME SAFE FROM MYSELF, THIS DECEITFUL HEART AND LUSTFUL FLESH. YOU ALONE CAN GUIDE ME INTO RIGHTEOUSNESS GOD, SO I SEEK YOU DAY AND NIGHT CONTINUALLY FOLLOWING YOU. PRAISING YOU WHEN I RISE, PRAISING YOU WHEN I LAY DOWN AND PRAISING YOU IN BETWEEN. USE ME OH GOD AS A CRACKED CLAY POT, FILLING ME WITH YOUR GLORY AND POURING OUT EVERYWHERE YOU LEAD ME. PUT ME ON AS YOUR GLOVES TO MINISTER TO OTHERS WHO ARE DYING. I AM YOUR GLASS AND NOBODY ELSE HAS ANY RIGHTFUL CLAIM TO ME. MY NAME IS CARVED IN YOUR HAND AND YOUR STAMP AND SEAL IS UPON ME --- I AM YOURS.
KEEP ME KNOW LORD, WITHIN YOUR WILL AND EMPOWER ME TO GLORIFY YOUR NAME IN EVERY SITUATION UNTIL YOU TAKE ME HOME.
AMEN
