Be thou my strong habitation, Lord, please.

Please Heavenly Father-

Psa 71:3  Be thou my strong habitation, whereunto I may continually resort: thou hast given commandment to save me; for thou art my rock and my fortress.

Truly you are my strong habitation, help me to realize it's in You I must continually resort. You and You alone have given the commandment to save my life eternally, only You offer this to me and no other. You truly are my rock, my surety, my fortress, my sanctuary, my retreat, my everything.  This world will up-end me at every turn, twisting and turning me violently, if only in my mind. My sinful, selfish, awfulness that rears up its ugly evil head all the time can only be destroyed by You and Your power, I'm powerless against sins that truly- so incredibly easily beset me! Please, Lord, please, forgive me for so many, many sins! Save me, my only hope is in YOU and YOUR MERCY!

Change me, Father, change me into a vessel You can use for Your service in my everyday life. Satan's assaults have me doing things that I DON'T WANT TO DO, and not doing things THAT I WANT TO DO. Please, KEEP THE DOOR OF MY LIPS, because what comes out of my mouth really does defile me!

Rom 7:18  For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh,) dwelleth no good thing: for to will is present with me; but how to perform that which is good I find not.

Rom 7:19  For the good that I would I do not: but the evil which I would not, that I do.

Rom 7:20  Now if I do that I would not, it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me.

Rom 7:21  I find then a law, that, when I would do good, evil is present with me.

Rom 7:22  For I delight in the law of God after the inward man:

Rom 7:23  But I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members.

Rom 7:24  O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from the body of this death?

Rom 7:25  I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then with the mind I myself serve the law of God; but with the flesh the law of sin.

Psa_141:3  Set a watch, O LORD, before my mouth; keep the door of my lips.

Act 8:22  Repent therefore of this thy wickedness, and pray God, if perhaps the thought of thine heart may be forgiven thee.

Act 8:23  For I perceive that thou art in the gall of bitterness, and in the bond of iniquity.

Please, Father God, please forgive the thoughts of my heart, my selfish, selfish heart, please.

Please, Father take me as wholly Yours, use me in Your service, all my plans truly I must lay at Your feet… this prayer from another is mine! Help me to be all You need me to be especially right now, let me be for my mother all You would have me be, all You can through the power of the Holy Spirit change me to be. Give me all the strength spiritually, physically, mentally, emotionally that I will need to love my mother and care for her. Please live in me, please she deserves only love, the love that You alone can give us to give to others.  Bless her with Your mercy, please bless her in Your love! Let Your will be done in her in all ways! She always prayed for me, and for all her children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, she's Yours Lord, she's Yours, wrap her in Your loving embrace and keep her in You as she enters this phase of her life leading to her long sleep, so that she may awake when Your last trump sounds and the dead in Christ rise to meet You in the air!

1Th 4:14  For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him.

1Th 4:15  For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep.

1Th 4:16  For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:

1Th 4:17  Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.

1Th 4:18  Wherefore comfort one another with these words.

All in the name of our Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ, now and forever!

Amen.
