GOODNESS

WE ARE PRAYING IN GOD'S WILL FOR CHRIST-LIKE CHARACTER, AND ONCE WE RECEIVE IT, EVERYTHING ELSE IN OUR LIVES WILL FALL INTO PLACE

Father, teach us that the only thing count is faith expressing itself through love; it will last in our lives or make us complete.  Lord, give us a desire for things of the Spirit, so we may have peace; no one has power over another in the Kingdom of God because we're all the same.  Father, show us that kindness; is one resolution that will deliver us forever from pride.  Lord, let the Holy Spirit be in complete charge of our lives; so we may have self-control, and all self-indulgence will be removed.  Father, as we struggle in the quicksand of this lost world, we count it all joy because You are with us.  Yea, though we walk through the valley of death, we have no fear because Your rod and staff comfort us.  Thank You for the sacrifice of Your only Son; that allowed a sinner to be restored to You, so we may see heaven.   Lord, we thank You for forgiveness, mercy, and grace; in Jesus' name, we pray, Amen.
