MY PRAYER FOR "THE NATIONAL DAY OF PRAYER"

Deliverance From "The Slough of Despond!"

"O Lord, You brought my soul up from the grave; You have kept me alive, that I should not go down to the pit."  (Psalm 30:3)

This is my moment by moment testimony since Stephen died, "....yet shall he live," says our Lord Jesus Christ!  Indeed, my soul did go to, "the grave."  My Glorious Lord Jesus Christ, however, "[has] kept me alive, that I should not go down to the pit", of despair, anger, giving up.  Jesus Christ is the Great However of my soul.  Jesus is sustaining me, keeping me from the defeat of Bunyan's, "Slough of Despond."

"Holy, holy holy!  Lord God Almighty!
Early in the morning our song shall rise to Thee;
Holy, holy, holy, merciful and mighty!
God in Three Persons, Blessed Trinity!

"....Holy, holy, holy! Though the darkness hide Thee,
Though the eye of sinful man Thy glory may not see;
Only Thou art holy; there is none beside Thee,
Perfect in power, love, and purity."

When Peter, an 18 year old Norwegian, "heard the call to evangelize China, on that day he not only emptied his wallet into the collection plate, but included a small note with the words, 'and my life.'"

Hebrews 12:2
