sometimes all you can say is JESUS

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

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.
