  • Hear My Prayer - Father (a prayer by deepestrecesses)

    I continue to thank God for the watchmen He is setting up on the walls to pray for revival in their own lives and in the life of the Church.

    Along those lines, here's a prayer by David (    deepestrecesses@revelife). (His prayer was originally posted here.)

    Hear My Prayer - Father

      Romans 7:16-25 

     16But if I do the very thing I do not want to do, I agree with the Law, confessing that the Law is good.  17So now, no longer am I the one doing it, but sin which dwells in me.  18For I know that nothing good dwells in me, that is, in my flesh; for the willing is present in me, but the doing of the good is not.  19For the good that I want, I do not do, but I practice the very evil that I do not want.  20But if I am doing the very thing I do not want, I am no longer the one doing it, but sin which dwells in me.  

    21I find then the principle that evil is present in me, the one who wants to do good.  22For I joyfully concur with the law of God in the inner man,  23but I see a different law in the members of my body, waging war against the law of my mind and making me a prisoner of the law of sin which is in my members.  24Wretched man that I am! Who will set me free from the body of this death?  25Thanks be to God through Jesus Christ our Lord! So then, on the one hand I myself with my mind am serving the law of God, but on the other, with my flesh the law of sin.


    Father-God; inside me there is absolutely no good.  Even apart from you I would not know how to express these pains.  This body has trapped me into weaknesses that I did not want.  The nature of sin, cultivated in the flesh, seems unstoppable!  You have searched my heart- Oh Lord- and I fear.  But I open my heart to you because for you I hope to be found a suitable dwelling place for your Holy Spirit. 

    By my life I agree that your law is good—even when I am found lacking; you are exalted all the more as perfect! 

    Even though my eyes are dry it does not mean you do not see the tears.
    Because you have always been the one to fight away my fears.

    By day and by night you have watched over me as my storms have raged.
    Seeing the turmoil’s I face, helpless in this flesh; helpless in this cage.

    Even though my eyes are dry it does not mean you do not see the tears.
    So your Son you gave, in Love; a lamb taken before the sheers.

    Humiliated, broken, and mocked he became a curse so that I could be your son.
    Emptied of all his rightful power, Jesus hung upon the cross, breathed his last, and said “All is done”.

    Even though my eyes are dry it does not mean you do not see the tears.

    Father—hear my prayer; I have cast myself before you, I am placing all my trust in you that I may be saved.  I know nothing but that your Son completed your will and fulfilled all that he came to fulfill as he ascended into heaven; sitting by your side—head of the Church—Savior of your children. 

    I hope in you.  I trust in you.  I desire only you and yet my body—tired and worn out—seems unwilling to set aside its old ways. 

    Father, grant me patience.  Grant me wisdom.  Grant me compassion that I may show compassion.  These are the tools with which I may work. 

    I beg, do not let evil hinder me any longer.  Protect me from the temptations so set to destroy me.  If your Spirit dwells in me, then I will be free to wield love, mercy, compassion, tenderness, and knowledge as tools to do your will! 

    Your Holy Spirit I desire; my only fear is that I disqualify myself from your Spirit and you take it away.  I pray you destroy my body before you take your spirit from me!!

    I marvel at the complex intricacies of your design and your will.  Far more complex than all the universe is your plan for salvation; yet as simple as Jesus Christ—Lord and Savior!

    Grant to me that I might know you, Father, and your Son Jesus Christ!!!

    Amen!

    Brothers and sisters, please add your prayers as the Spirit leads you...

"he called it the tent of meeting..."

I am burdened to pray to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ for the reformation and reviving of Christ's church.

The phrase tent of meeting comes from Exodus 33:7: Now Moses used to take the tent and pitch it outside the camp, far off from the camp, and he called it the tent of meeting. And everyone who sought the Lord would go out to the tent of meeting, which was outside the camp.

This site is devoted to God first and foremost. In all that is done here, my prayer is that God is glorified and His Name magnified and Christ and Him crucified is lifted up so He might be preeminent and God might receive all the praise, honor and glory due His Holy Name. All who have come to a saving knowledge of our Father by grace through faith in the all-sufficient sacrifice of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ are welcome to enter this tent of meeting to seek the Lord.

This blog is a place for all believers in the Lord Jesus Christ to come and seek God's face for revival. My intention is for this tent of meeting to be a holy place where we can enter into PRAYER together to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. Therefore, as the Holy Spirit leads you, please enter into prayer either here (think of "comments" as prayers) or on your own.

Habakkuk 3:2 O LORD, I have heard the report of you, and your work, O LORD, do I fear. In the midst of the years revive it; in the midst of the years make it known; in wrath remember mercy.
