Prayer, Part 2, April 14
Prayer, Part 2, April 14 The LORD has said to Me, 'You are My Son, today I have begotten You. You have heard my voice: "Do not hide Your ear from my sighing, from my cry for help."
You drew near on the day I called on You, and said, "Do not fear!"
O Lord, You have pleaded the case for my soul; you have redeemed my life. Psalms 2:7, Lamentations 3:56-58, www.solascriptura.com Father, Just as You declared Jesus, as Your only begotten Son, You assure us that we can cry out as Jeremiah did, for Your help. We know Father that Jesus made it possible for us to come into Your presence, cleansed, and prepared to speak to You. We can stand before You without fear, though we shall surely be overwhelmed when we do so. You have provided a Lamb, a perfect stand-in for our sins and we joyfully accept Your gift of life but at the same time we feel so unworthy. Help us today to see that our worthiness is not a result of our works but of our faith in You, Jesus and Your grace and love to us, Father. Lead us this day to be like You, Jesus, we pray, amen.

Prayer, Part 2, March 22
Prayer, Part 2, March 22 I will praise You, O LORD, with my whole heart; I will tell of all Your marvelous works.
I will be glad and rejoice in You; I will sing praise to Your name, O Most High. Psalms 9:1-2, www.solascriptura.com Dear Jesus, our Lord and Savior, we do praise You from the depths of our soul. There is no one or nothing that deserves our praise and our attention like You. We look to all that You have given us to enjoy and to work with and we rejoice in Your omniscience for no one but You could have conceived such a perfect circumstance for us to know You. Jesus, help us take nothing for granted in terms of the gifts You have given us. Help us use those gifts to bring glory to Your Holy name, amen. Bruce Caldwell

Prayer, May 11
Prayer, May 11 God be merciful to us and bless us, and cause His face to shine upon us.
That Your way may be known on earth, your salvation among all nations.
Let the people praise You, O God; let all the people praise You. …pray without ceasing; in everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you. Psalms 67:3, 1Thessalonians 5:17-18, www.solascriptura.com Father, when You shine upon us You illuminate our hearts and You are a light unto our path. Help us never to go forward in darkness, without You, Your counsel, and Your love. Father, You give us light that Your word might go throughout all of the world. We praise You for equipping us to serve You. We are asked to pray without ceasing. Teach us this day how to implement that teaching. Help us to include You in everything we do and think. It is Your will that we enjoy the fruits of Your Holy presence (love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self control), constantly. Our fleshly instincts take us in the opposite direction, too often. We seek to be like You, more and more. In Jesus Holy name, we pray, amen. Bruce Caldwell

Prayer, Part 2, May 7
Prayer, Part 2, May 7 Give ear to my words, O LORD, consider my meditation.
Give heed to the voice of my cry, my King and my God, for to You I will pray.
My voice You shall hear in the morning, O LORD; in the morning I will direct it to You, and I will look up. I love the LORD, because He has heard my voice and my supplications.
Because He has inclined His ear to me, therefore I will call upon Him as long as I live. Psalms 5:1-3, 116:1-2, www.solascriptura.com Father, when we pray, we know that if we seek Your will for our lives, You listen. Help us understand that You desire to lead us and love us and that Your response to prayers for leadership in our lives is positive and our requests are welcomed. You know our needs better than we do! Father, at times, we seem to be insisting on "our will be done" as though our certainty is warranted. Forgive us when that is the case. We are encouraged to pray early, Father, just as Jesus did so many times in the Scriptures. Praying about everything all day is Your stated will, but setting aside time with You each morning gives us an opportunity to start the day right, seeking Your blessings and direction. Father, we give so much time to activities that do not include You. Help us today to resolve to seek Your will, early each day, and to look up and know You are waiting for us to call to You. To whom else can we turn? In Your Holy name, we pray, amen. Bruce Caldwell

Prayer, Part 2, February 21
Prayer, Part 2, February 21 Preserve me, O God, for in You I put my trust.
O my soul, you have said to the LORD, "You are my Lord, my goodness is nothing apart from You."
As for the saints who are on the earth, "They are the excellent ones, in whom is all my delight."
Their sorrows shall be multiplied who hasten after another god
O LORD, You are the portion of my inheritance and my cup; you maintain my lot.
The lines have fallen to me in pleasant places; yes, I have a good inheritance.
Psalms 16:1-6, www.solascriptura.com Father, we know that our goodness, absent the presence of the Holy Spirit in our hearts, is more than just inadequate. When our fleshly instincts take over, we know we are running away from Your presence. Your word tells us that You delight in your saints, a designation none of us feel able to accept, yet it remains Your expectation. What is a saint, Father, but one whose life reflects Jesus? Help us this day to be more consistent in our walk with You. You, Father, are not a transitory, undependable, father made of flesh. You are our permanent Heavenly Father, thus we do have a good inheritance. We are, gratefully, Your children. Your love for us exceeds human boundaries. What a wonderful designation....Your child. Amen and Amen. Bruce Caldwell

Prayer, Part 2, August 18, 2008
Prayer, Part 2, August 18, 2008 I have proclaimed the good news of righteousness in the great assembly; indeed, I do not restrain my lips, O LORD, You Yourself know.
I have not hidden Your righteousness within my heart; I have declared Your faithfulness and Your salvation; I have not concealed Your lovingkindness and Your truth from the great assembly.
Do not withhold Your tender mercies from me, O LORD; let Your lovingkindness and Your truth continually preserve me. Psalms 40:9-11, www.solascriptura.com Father, we pray that it is true that each of us has proclaimed the good news of righteousness in our families and churches. Help us never to restrain our lips when the opportunity to share Your love with others arises. Help us to never hide Your righteousness in our heart, but instead to happily declare our faith. We do pray for Your tender mercies in our daily walk. Since we never walk alone, help us to ask, constantly, that Your direction, Your wisdom and discretion, will be ours. Father, it seems like we have a huge number of decisions to make every day. Teach us that it is Your desire that we place every decision before You, asking for guidance. We know that in the midst of this Satan has been given a license to try and discourage us. You not only permit the test but You provide us with a way out of trouble, if we will but look to You. Bless us afresh, every moment, we pray. Guide us today; in Jesus' Holy name, amen. Bruce Caldwell

Prayer, Part I, July 15, 2008
Prayer, Part I, July 15, 2008 Surely men of low degree are a vapor, men of high degree are a lie; if they are weighed on the scales, they are altogether lighter than vapor.
Do not trust in oppression, nor vainly hope in robbery; if riches increase, do not set your heart on them.
God has spoken once, twice I have heard this: that power belongs to God.
Also to You, O Lord, belongs mercy; for You render to each one according to his work. Psalms 62:9-12, www.solascriptura.com Father, You have taught us that these physical bodies will age, die and decay and that they are as a vapor that disappears. That would be a pitiful site to behold if this life was all there was. Praise You Father for creating us in Your image. There were other choices but You have chosen to offer us redemption and new bodies, neither young nor old, in a joyous New Jerusalem where our spirits are united with Your Spirit, for eternity. We do seek riches, comfort and security in this life but it is clear enough Father that if we gather these things to ourselves for ourselves that we have missed Your will. Help us to be as a heavenly conduit, transmitting Your love to others. In Jesus Holy name, we pray, amen. Bruce Caldwell

Prayer, June 30, 2008
Prayer, June 30, 2008 How can a young man cleanse his way? By taking heed according to Your word.
With my whole heart I have sought You; Oh, let me not wander from Your commandments!
Your word I have hidden in my heart, that I might not sin against You!
Blessed are You, O LORD! Teach me Your statutes! Psalms 119:9-12 www.solascriptura.com Father, You pose the question and then provide the answer; we can cleanse our way by obeying Your word. We pray, that this day, our way is Your way, that our thoughts are as Your thoughts. Most of us have not sought You with our whole heart because that would mean a level of pursuit to which we aspire and but have rarely achieved. We are told to "hunger and thirst for righteousness", something we want to do. Help us to hide Your word in our hearts. Why; because it will help us not sin against You. Teach us Your statutes, afresh. We pray in Jesus' name, amen. Bruce Caldwell
