| "LORD JESUS, i come to Thee for spiritual preparation. Lay Thy hand upon me. Anoint me with the oil of the New Testament prophet. |
 |
| "Forbid that i should become a religious scribe and thus lose my prophetic calling. Save me from the curse that lies dark across the face of the modern clergy, |
 |
| "the curse of compromise, of imitation, of professionalism. Save me from the error of judging a church by its size, its popularity or the amount of its yearly offering. |
 |
| "Help me to remember that i am a prophet--not a promoter, not a religious manager, but a prophet. Let me never become a slave to crowds. Heal my soul of carnal ambitions and deliver me from the itch for publicity. |
 |
| "Save me from the bondage to things. Let me not waste my days puttering around the house. Lay Thy terror upon me, O GOD, and drive me to the place of prayer where i may wrestle with principalities and powers and the rulers of darkness of this world. Deliver me from overeating and late sleeping. Teach me self-discipline that i may be a good soldier of JESUS CHRIST." (A.W. Tozer, excerpt from 'The Prayer of a Minor Prophet') |
Make this your common practice: Confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you can live together whole and healed. The prayer of a person living right with GOD is something powerful to be reconed with. (James 5:16-17, MSG)
AMEN is "So be it, LORD, Thy will, not mine, be done."
