Aug.25.06: Light for the Day - “My Prayer"     (Viet)  (C)  (S)  (F)    

-- Psalms 116:1-7
1 I love the LORD, for He heard my voice; 
   He heard my cry for mercy.
2 Because He turned His ear to me, 
   I will call on Him as long as I live.
3 The cords of death entangled me, 
   The anguish of the grave came upon me;
   I was overcome by trouble and sorrow.
4 Then I called on the Name of the LORD: 
   "O LORD, save me!"
5 The LORD is Gracious and Righteous; 
   Our God is full of Compassion.
6 The LORD Protects the simplehearted; 
   When I was in great need, He saved me.
7 Be at rest once more, O my soul, 
   For the LORD has been good to you.

-- Psalms 23:6
   Surely Goodness and Love will follow me all the days of my life, 
   And I will dwell in the House of the LORD forever.

My Prayer

Upon my heart I say a Prayer
I know that You are always there
Feel Your Spirit soft and warm
Carry me through all life's storms

Every sorrow will abate
While deep in thought I contemplate
Feel Your Presence always near
Enter now there is no fear

What glory in this heart of mine
That fills me with Your Love Divine
I know You love with special grace
My soul can somehow see Your Face

Softly looking down on me
Feel this Love so constantly
No matter where in life I go
This the constant I will know

The Love You give is so complete
It fills my heart with joy I seek
Bowing down with reverence
Seeking Holy Countenance

Feel Your Spirit standing by
Holding on with life's reply
Walk with me I ask and Pray
Give me purpose every day.

-- Psalms 6:9 
   The LORD has heard my cry for mercy; 
   The LORD accepts my Prayer.

-- Psalms 66:19 
19 But God has surely listened and heard my voice in Prayer.
20 Praise be to God, who has not rejected my Prayer 
     or withheld His love from me!

-- Psalms 118:5 
   In my anguish I cried to the LORD, 
   And He answered by setting me free.

-- Psalms 130:1-8
1 Out of the depths I cry to you, O LORD;
2 O Lord, hear my voice. 
   Let Your ears be attentive to my cry for mercy.
3 If You, O LORD, kept a record of sins, 
   O Lord, who could stand?
4 But with You there is Forgiveness; 
   Therefore You are feared.
5 I wait for the LORD, my soul waits, 
   And in His Word I put my hope.
6 My soul waits for the Lord more than watchmen wait for the morning, 
   More than watchmen wait for the morning.
7 O Israel, put your hope in the LORD, 
    for with the LORD is unfailing love and with Him is full redemption.
8 He himself will redeem Israel from all their sins.

--------------------
-- 2 Corinthians 1:11 
   He will rescue us because you are helping by Praying for us. 
   As a result, many will give thanks to God because 
   so many people’s Prayers for our safety have been answered.

-- 2 Corinthians 12:8-10
8 Three times I pleaded with the Lord to take it away from me.
9 But He said to me, "My Grace is sufficient for you, for My Power is 
   made perfect in weakness." Therefore I will boast all the more gladly 
   about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s Power may rest on me.
10 That is why, for Christ’s sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, 
     in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. 
    For when I am weak, then I am strong.

--------------------
-- John 16:33
   "I have told you these things, so that in Me you may have Peace. 
    In this world you will have trouble. 
   But take heart! I have overcome the world."

-- John 17
1 After Jesus said this, He looked toward heaven and Prayed: 
   "Father, the time has come. Glorify Your Son, that Your Son may glorify You.
2 For You granted Him authority over all people that 
   He might give eternal life to all those You have given Him.
3 Now this is eternal life: that they may know You, the only true God, 
   and Jesus Christ, whom You have sent.
4 I have brought You glory on earth by completing the work You gave Me to do.
5 And now, Father, glorify Me in Your presence 
   with the glory I had with You before the world began.

6 I have revealed You to those whom You gave Me out of the world. 
   They were Yours; You gave them to Me and they have obeyed Your Word.
7 Now they know that everything You have given Me comes from You.
8 For I gave them the Words You gave Me and they accepted them. They knew 
   with certainty that I came from You, and they believed that You sent Me.

9 I Pray for them. I am not Praying for the world, 
   but for those You have given Me, for they are Yours.
10 All I have is Yours, and all You have is Mine. 
     And glory has come to Me through them.
11 I will remain in the world no longer, but they are still in the world, and I am 
     coming to You. Holy Father, protect them by the power of Your Name -- 
     the Name You gave Me -- so that they may be one as We are One.
12 While I was with them, I protected them and kept them safe by that Name 
     You gave Me. None has been lost except the one doomed to destruction 
     so that Scripture would be fulfilled. (Ps.41:9; 109:8; Acts 1:20)

13 I am coming to You now, but I say these things while I am still in the world, 
     so that they may have the full measure of My joy within them.

14 I have given them Your Word and the world has hated them,
     for they are not of the world any more than I am of the world.
15 My Prayer is not that You take them out of the world but that 
     You protect them from the evil one.
16 They are not of the world, even as I am not of it.

17 Sanctify them by the truth; Your Word is truth.
18 As You sent Me into the world, I have sent them into the world.
19 For them I sanctify Myself, that they too may be truly sanctified.

20 My Prayer is not for them alone. 
     I Pray also for those who will believe in Me through their message,
21 that all of them may be one, Father, just as You are in Me and I am in You. 
     May they also be in Us so that the world may believe that You have sent Me.

22 I have given them the glory that You gave Me, 
     that they may be one as We are One:
23 I in them and You in Me. May they be brought to complete unity to let the world 
     know that You sent Me and have loved them even as You have loved Me.

24 Father, I want those You have given Me to be with Me where I am, 
     and to see My glory, the glory You have given Me because You loved Me 
     before the creation of the world.

25 Righteous Father, though the world does not know You, I know You, 
     and they know that You have sent Me.
26 I have made You known to them, and will continue to make You known 
     in order that the love You have for Me may be in them 
     and that I Myself may be in them."


-- Hebrews 4:16
   Let us then Approach the Throne of Grace with Confidence, 
   So that we may Receive Mercy and Find Grace to Help us in our Time of Need.
