A HEART-PRAYER FOR ADAM
Matthew 6:5-15 (KJV)
5 And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.
6 But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly….
Roman’s 8:24 (KJV)
For we are saved by hope: but hope that is seen is not hope: for what a man seeth, why doth he yet hope for?
Ezekiel 18:4 (KJV)
4 Behold, all souls are mine; as the soul of the father, so also the soul of the son is mine: the soul that sinneth, it shall die.
Ezekiel 18:20 (KJV)
20 The soul that sinneth, it shall die. The son shall not bear the iniquity of the father, neither shall the father bear the iniquity of the son: the righteousness of the righteous shall be upon him, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon him.
Psalm 90:12-17 (KJV)
12 So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom.
13 Return, O Lord, how long? and let it repent thee concerning thy servants.
14 O satisfy us early with thy mercy; that we may rejoice and be glad all our days.
15 Make us glad according to the days wherein thou hast afflicted us, and the years wherein we have seen evil.
16 Let thy work appear unto thy servants, and thy glory unto their children.
17 And let the beauty of the Lord our God be upon us: and establish thou the work of our hands upon us; yea, the work of our hands establish thou it.
Psalm 27 NKJV
3 I would have lost heart, unless I had believed that I would see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living.
14 Wait on the Lord; be of good courage, and He shall strengthen your heart; wait, I say, on the Lord!
Lord, you pick out some vessels for honor and some for dishonor;
In truth, we must find out by graduated wisdom what that means.
Help us, O Lord, to maintain inspired hearts and daily to seek you;
Waiting patiently, consistently, at your faithful gate to let us through,
So we can sit at your table to gain the wisdom that is you.
You are the potter and you remind us everywhere that we are the clay.
As far as we bow down in your Spirit is as high as you raise us up to see
Things will always work out right as surely as night turns into day.
Things that happen to mankind in this realm we might not understand.
But, in the midst of horrors in the fiery furnace, we have peace in you to stay.
So let us seek you daily at your gate as wisdom leads us by the heart and hand.
To know your love is to fulfill our part in the destiny of this great Divine Play.
You, who knows the full circle of life from the beginning even to the end,
Who else can we turn to but the One who knows the full destiny of MAN.
This sense of destiny you created in us and placed it deep down, within.
Oh, Lord. So help us to know our end, how frail we are; and teach us to number
Our days aright, so we will apply our hearts to wisdom. If we don’t,
We will die. We will fail the purpose that we as divine beings were sent
to fulfill. We will faint if we don’t believe we’ll see your goodness
In the land of the Living, remembering that hope that is seen is not hope.
