π Thank You for Daily Mercies, Faithfulness Lam3:23, ππ» Save, Protect Former Rom10:1; Focus->Things Above Col3:2, New Things Isa42:9, Pay Attention to Ourselves, Our Teaching, 1 Tim 4:16, Be on Guard for Ourselves & The Flock Among us, Acts 20:1, Grace to Do Both Ecclesiastes 7:18, Open Doors Gospel Rev 3:7-8, etc...
π Our Father in Heaven, Thank You for meeting all our needs up until present and continuing to do the same, surely Your Merciful Devotion to Your People is daily and Your Great Faithfulness an ever-present certainty amidst an ever changing life and world, Lam 3:23. Firstly, even our prayer lives and private devotion and study need those mercies, for it is God who is at work in us both to will and do His good pleasure, Phil 2:13. We ask for the ability to pay attention to ourselves and our teaching so we may save ourselves and our hearers, 1 Tim 4:16, and be on guard for ourselves and those You have in a way put under our care, Acts 20:28, which requires Your Spirit's inspiration, John 6:63, and REAL unceasing intercession, Isa 62:6, REAL LABOR and TRAVAIL until Christ be formed in YOU, Gal 4:19, and Jerusalem be a Praise in The Earth, Isa 62:7, and not sin against You by ceasing to PRAY and in any way possible TEACH the Good Way to those disobedient and far off, 1 Sam 12:23, asking Grace to Pray for BOTH The Former and Present Relationships' Salvation, Rom 10:1, and Holy Spirit enrichment, Eph 4:29, for the lad to be brought up on the nourishment and wisdom of Scripture which guides toward salvation, 2 Tim 3:15, since every jot and tiddle, alpha and omega is inspired, 2 Tim 3:16...
π§π½βοΈYet, I Must Request Abundant Grace to somewhat shift the Focus to the Duty of meeting pressing needs, Tit 3:14, and be open, aware and seeking the fact that "Behold, You Do New Things," Isa 42:9, to even to be on guard for ourselves and the flock of God Your placed under our charge, Acts 20:28-31, and ANYTHING ELSE you should bring to our attention, Phil 3:15 -- Even ANYTHING, since YOU are ABLE to CREATE (Poiema -- poem, WORK, "do") Exceedingly Abundantly BEYOND what we could Ask or Imagine, Eph 3:20, even things we do not know, Jer 33:3...
π So WE ask for Abundant Mercy and grace to Do Both, Ecclesiastes 7:18, So Convict, John 16:8, Convince and CONVERT my wife and youngster there by bringing others to share the same Word, Rom 10:17, the Gospel of The Kingdom, Matt 24:14, by other messengers, 1 Cor 3:6-7, unashamededly, as it ought to be preached, Eph 6:19, since The Gospel is The Power of God unto Salvation for all who believe, Rom 1:16, and Convert to Jesus those Only YOU can draw, John 6:44.
π Let us plead the cause of the widower, and defend the cause of the youngster, who, by that foolish abandonment of hers, was made to be orphaned, Jer 5:28, which if we can't visit the widower or orphan, James 1:27, we can at least pray for them and keep ourselves unstained by the world.
π§π½May The Lad make The LORD, who was King David's Refuge, even The Most High, his own Dwelling Place, personally, that evil would not befall him, or plague come near his tent, Ps 91:9-10. Give Your angels charge over him, Ps 91:11-12.
(I was left alone in a foreign country -- no contact, avoiding me, pastors -- running away from God, her vows and calling -- this was the 15th to 18th time -- I think that is exactly 1 Cor 7:15 in action, for if that isn't abandonment, I cannot personally think of, nor have I read or heard of a more accurate example of abandonment)...
ππ» Obviously, I've been sinned against A LOT by her and her family -- I believe the remedy of being sinned against is praying for their salvation -- again nothing's been confessed and repented of -- Salvation is still needed, 2 Tim 2:3-4, repentance isn't optional, btw, "But having overlooked times of ignorance, God is now commanding everyone everywhere to repent, having fixed A Day of certain judgment with justice by The Man appointed this High Court Session, and furnished proof to everyone by raising Him from the dead, Acts 17:31-32, 2 Pet 3:9 -- but please help me speak the truth in LOVE, Eph 4:15, "filled with GRACE and truth," John 1:14, noted Grace prior to mentioning Truth, just a side-note...
π We ask for grace to take hold of one thing without letting go of the other, Ecclesiastes 7:18, to continue to intercede for my distant matrimonial's full, authentic repentance to life and full trust in Christ, and the prodigy to be saved early, Rom 10:1, and protected and directed into the love and character of Jesus Christ, nourished on Your Word), 2 Tim 3:15, Yet ability to PRIMARILY FOCUS on THE NEW, Isa 42:9, Isa 43:19, Isa 48:6.
π So we ask You open a door for Heaven, Nearness, and doors to express the overflow of the Holy Spirit to Bible Studies, Prayer Meetings and for the lost to hear the Gospel, kindly work while we keep still, Exodus 14:14, and empower us to glorify You, to image God, which were it possible, we would not ask and trust You for it. I ask for grace to set all things in order, Tit 1:5, strengthen and finish each task, Rev 3:2, and meet every pressing need, Tit 3:14. There are a few that are quite massive, thank you for bearing this and these burdens, helping fulfill the Law of Christ, Gal 6:2...
π Help our running to be in a way that we might win, 1 Cor 9:24, forgetting what lies behind and pressing toward the upward call, Phil 3:13-14, laying aside encumbrances and diversions that distract us from the primary task of Your call and commission to abide in Your Word and make disciples by propagating all You've commanded, that we might run the race that is personally set out before each of us, Heb 12:1-2... Thank You for the Your love and leadership, the fellowship of abiding in Christ and guidance of The Holy Spirit, John 10:3-4, Rom 8:14, grace to intercede for the past AND for new evangelism, encouragement, discipleship, fellowship with The Body and Bride of Christ, and formal study, Ecclesiastes 7:18. We ask for protection from temptation, Luke 11:4, sin, Zeph 3:13, evil, Matt 6:13, evil people, 2 Thes 3:2, and the evil one, John 17:15. Thank You in Jesus' Name...
