WE'RE NOT JUST TRYING TO DRAW PEOPLE TO CHURCH WE'RE TRYING TO DRAW SOULS TO GOD

 Father, we come to the altar, asking You to search our souls and remove all that is not of You.  So we can come boldly to Your throne with a clean heart and mind so we can communicate with You, and hear Your voice.   Lord, we thank You, for Spiritual growth and learning how to be humble, so we will stay in Your will and not miss our blessings.  Thank You, for forgiveness and teaching us how to forgive and pray for our enemies. Father, let the Holy Spirit utter for us when we know not what to say; and let the Spirit guide us.  Father, we surrender all to You, because we have seen all You have to offer.  Father, thank You, for the revelation of fasting that strengthens our faith; SELF-CONTROL that keeps us in Your will; kindness, and gentleness that motivates us to help others, and the love for You that transforms us.  Father, there times when we have doubts and fears, please draw us near to THEE so we can feel Your presence that strengthens us. Father, give us the desire to fellowship with Spiritual counseling and self-study, to help us mature and give us ears that hear what’s good.   Father, forgive us for falling short of Your, mercy grace and favor and not teaching our children Your word; so they would not stray far from You.  Forgive us for taking You out of our home, our Churches, schools and our hearts.  Jesus, we need You now more than ever, because all that is written is coming to pass, help us repent and turn away from our sins and prepare us for Your coming, in Jesus name Amen.
