(154) Prayer And Testimony

Don’t be afraid to call out his name, although you should never do it in vain. Allow Jesus to come into your life and reign over your heart, giving you a brand new start. Take a walk in the dark of night knowing that God is holding you in his sight, don’t be afraid my sisters and brothers evil will see them standing beside you, God on the right and Jesus on the left. You have no reason to fear, God and his son Jesus will be seen standing there. The rain will pour and the thunder will sound, the funnel clouds of nature will soon hit the ground but you have no reason to fear, God and Jesus will always keep you in the clear. Now raise up your hands and praise the Lord, look to the sky, look around you, enjoy the gifts God has given you. Raise up your hands, my sisters and brothers, praise the Lord this wonderful day, let him hear what you have to say. Say it loud and say it clear for all God’s children to hear. I stand here among you for all to see, I know Jesus is here beside me, he’ll hold my hand and walk me through, he’ll allow me to speak to you. He’ll give me the words, he wants you to hear, I’ll deliver them while he stands here. If you don’t have a relationship with God, then this is your blessed day. You have been chosen to be here today, this is not a coincidence, there are no coincidences, you are where you are suppose to be, here praising the Lord with me. Now open your heart and allow Jesus in, ask him to be a part of your life, to save you from heartache and strife, ask him to walk by your side. Tell him you no longer want to hide. Let the truth be known, sisters and brothers, you have finally grown. (Speak sister, speak to the Lord, he wants to hear what you have to say.) I know I’ve sinned Lord, I know I havn’t been the best role model for my children. I stand here truly humble today Lord, a little embarrassed to say the least, but today I know I must face the truth and leave my wrong doings in the past. I ask you Lord to listen to what I have to say, I ask you Lord to teach me how to pray. I’ve walked the streets in the dead of night with only one thing on my mind, I needed money to pay for my addiction, the root of my evil was my affliction, drugs and booze, oh I had to use in order to survive. My soul was dead, my feelings numb, oh I knew that I was considered dumb by my friends and family. They shook their heads when they looked at me. Lord, I’m here for all to see what drugs and booze has done to me. It took my self-esteem away, it ruined each and every day, my youthful look has gone astray, never to come back another day. I stand before you a disfigured woman, but now I’m clean and I definitely feel human. It’s been six months, I’ve walked the straight and narrow. With your help Lord, I know I’ll never falter, but Father I ask you now, please keep me out of harms way. I know Satan will be lurking about, waiting for a weak moment. I need to be strong and aware that Satan is always near. Lord God in Heaven, I give myself to you and know that You will see me through. I ask this Lord in the name of your son Jesus Christ, Amen.
