Prayer — Petra

First I want to thank You Lord for being who You are
For coming to the rescue of a man who’s drifted far
For calling me to be Your son and calling me to serve
Lord the way You’ve blessed my life is more than I deserve

Keep the ones I love so dearly, Fill their emptiness while I am gone, And fill the loneliness in me

Chorus:
This is my prayer, Lifted to You, Knowing You care even more than I do
This is my prayer, Lifted in Your name, Your will be done I humbly pray

Let me be the evidence of what Your grace can do
To a generations struggling to find themselves in You
May they come to know the love of God
May their eyes be made to see
Give me the opportunity to share the truth that sets them free
And may unity in all things
Be the banner of Your church
And let revival’s fire begin to burn

As we face the last and final hours
Turn a wayward country back to You
And keep us from the evil that devours
Keep us on the path and lead us through
Keep us in Your light until Your kingdom comes
And our work is done

This is my prayer, Lifted to You, Knowing You care so much more than I do
This is my prayer, In Jesus’ name, Your will be done I humbly pray
This is my prayer

  • The Rat Race…

    Well, it’s been crazy lately. I’ve had so many things going on. So I haven’t gotten much for posts up in the last few days. I was up way too late trying to get me photo gallery going on Thursday, after my walk. The walk Thursday was very relaxing. I wish I didn’t have so much going on all the time. I really enjoy the time outdoors, I can’t wait until the camping trip this weekend. As a result of being up so late I had a hard time getting up Friday morning, this meant I didn’t get my devotions done before work. It’s been a real battle for me to change my sleep schedule. I’ve been such a night owl, but getting to bed…

    Serving Others

    God has given each of you a gift from his great variety of spiritual gifts. Use them well to serve one another. – 1 Peter 4:10 NLT  Sometimes I think we lose sight of how God intended for us to use our gifts. If we are using our gifts to serve others, not just the church or ministries, we are doing exactly what God has called us to do. Christ came as a servant, as an example to us how we should serve others.
  • What Is A Church?

    As given to me by someone else: A church is a local expression of the global and historical body of Christ where: ¬∑ People intentionally share life together. It is a spiritual community where life‚Äôs resources are joined together, people are expected and are equipped to be vulnerable and accountable with one another, and the community and the needs of those inside and outside the community are met. (Acts 4:32-34, 2:42-47) ¬∑ Worship is experienced. God is central, God‚Äôs worth is lifted high, and Jesus is worship as God. It brings people into the meeting of heaven and earth, and calls the believer to live life for the reality that awaits. (Romans 12:1-2, Rev.4:5-21) ¬∑ Ministry takes place. Ministry is a natural outpouring and result…

    The Call to Being Generous

    If we consider how generous God was to give His son to die for us, his call for us to be generous in our giving pales in comparison. I’ve heard it said, by Robert Morris I believe, that we can’t out give God. I’m always challenged in the area of generosity, with even my time and care for others not just my finances. I am blessed to have a wife that has a generous heart to help challenge me and counter my weakness in this area.
