FATHER IN HEAVEN, THANK YOU FOR ALWAYS BEING WITH ME AND FOR YOUR INCREDIBLE GIFT OF ETERNAL LIFE THAT COMES ONLY BY FAITH IN CHRIST JESUS, YOUR SON.  MY LORD, HOW I PRAISE YOU FOR REDEEMING ME AND FOR YOUR FAITHFUL, COMPASSIONATE WORD THAT REMINDS ME TO PAY ATTENTION TO THE SPIRIT MAN, AND TO PROVIDE THE ESSENTIAL GODLY CARE NECESSARY TO GUARD MY HEART.  

DEAR LORD, NOW THAT I AM A NEW CREATION IN CHRIST JESUS, I CAN NOT CONTINUE TO LIVE A CAUSAL MEDIOCRE LIFE.  A LIFE THAT COULD ENTICE  ME TO DRIFT FROM YOUR PRESENCE OR LOSE MY APPETITE FOR THE HOLY, DIVINE WORD OF GOD, NECESSARY NOURISHMENT  TO FEED, GROW, AND STRENGTHEN MY SPIRIT MAN.

 ALMIGHTY GOD, YOUR WORD IS CLEAR, I AM NOT JUST A SINFUL, CARNAL  BODY OF FLESH, A MORTAL REFLECTION IN THE MIRROR.  TRULY, I AM MORE THAN WHAT THE EYE CAN SEE, I AM YOUR CHILD AN IMMORTAL, IMPERISHABLE HEAVENLY CITIZEN. AN INNER SPIRIT MAN THAT LIVES IN A TEMPORAL, MORTAL BODY THAT IS  DECAYING AND PERISHING, WHILE THE SPIRIT MAN, IS BEING RENEWED DAY BY DAY.  

JESUS, THANK YOU FOR YOUR UNSELFISH SACRIFICE, A LOVE THAT HAS SET MY SPIRIT MAN FREE FROM SIN AND DEATH.  AN EVERLASTING ETERNAL LOVE THAT EMPOWERS ME TO EDIFY THE CHURCH AND T0 SERVE GOD.  HOLY SPIRIT, HELP ME TO REDIRECT MY TIME AND ATTENTION FROM WORDLY BEHAVIOR, DESPERATE ATTEMPTS TO ENTERTAIN, PAMPER AND SATISFY THE OUTWARD MAN’S DESIRES AND FEELINGS.  ENDLESS SEARCHES FOR POPULAR RESTAURANTS, SPORTING EVENTS OR AIMLESSLY FOLLOWING HIGH PROFILE DESIGNER CLOTHES, SHOES, JUST TO GAIN THE WORLD’S ATTENTION.  

IT IS OBVIOUS, THAT THE WORLD IS MATERIALISTIC AND THAT IT ONLY LOOKS ON THE OUTER MAN, WHILE GOD  LOOKS AT THE HEART.  FOR THIS REASON, CHRISTIANS CAN NOT AFFORD TO SPEND VALUABLE TIME AND ENERGY CHASING AFTER VAIN EARTHLY POSSESSIONS, FOR IT PROFITS NOTHING IN THIS LIFE, NOR THE ETERNAL LIFE.  INSTEAD, BELIEVERS SHOULD BE PERPETUALLY COMMITTED TO GODLY PRINCIPALS AND DEEDS THAT WILL CONSTANTLY FEED AND NOURISH THE SPIRIT MAN. SIMPLY PUT, IT IS FOOLISH TO IGNORE OR NEGLECT THE SPIRIT MAN WHO WILL ONE DAY STAND FACE TO FACE WITH THE CREATOR.  

LORD JESUS, I PRAY THAT YOU FORGIVE ME FOR MY SINS AND I GIVE YOU ALL THE GLORY FOR OPENING MY SPIRITUAL EYES AND EARS. NOW I REALIZE THAT THE SINFUL NATURE MUST BE CRUCIFIED DAILY, TO HALT ANY FLESHLY DESIRE TO WALK ACCORDING TO IT’S FEELINGS.  HOLY SPIRIT, TEACH ME HOW TO BE DILIGENT AND RESPONSIBLE AS I PRIORITIZE THE CARE OF THE SPIRIT MAN. 

HELP ME TO BE PASSIONATE ABOUT THE FAITH BUILDING EXERCISES AND TO STAY IN TOUCH WITH THE NECESSARY FITNESS; PRAYER, SCRIPTURE READING, AND FELLOWSHIP WHICH ARE VITAL PRINCIPLES FOR BUILDING A STRONG SPIRIT MAN.  PERMEATE MY HEART WITH THE POWER OF YOUR WORD, FAITH COMES BY HEARING AND HEARING BY THE WORD OF GOD.  

FORTIFY MY SPIRIT WITH YOUR PATIENCE AND SELF-CONTROL SO THAT WHEN TIMES OF ADVERSITY ARISE, THE SPIRIT MAN WILL NOT FAINT BUT WILL STAND MIGHTY AND STRONG.  DEAR GOD, THERE IS NOTHING NO HUMAN INTELLECT OR STRATEGIC PLAN, PATH OR IDEA THAT CAN MATCH THE SUPERNATURAL POWER, THE LIGHT THAT SHINES FROM THE LAMP OF THE LORD.  FATHER GOD, I AM CONVINCED THAT NO SIN, EVIL CARNAL SCHEMES OR CONFUSION, CAN LURK IN THE HEART OF A COMPLETELY REGENERATED SPIRIT MAN.  

IT IS THE DIVINE DUTY OF THE LAMP OF THE LORD, TO SEARCH OUT AND EXPOSE THE SECRET SINS, OR ANY DARK REBELLIOUS ATTITUDES THAT MAY BE HIDDEN IN THE SOUL. BELIEVERS MUST KEEP IN MIND, THAT SPIRIT CARE IS AN ONGOING PROCESS, AND WHEN THE HOLY SPIRIT OCCUPIES EVERY AREA IN OUR LIVES; SPIRIT, SOUL, AND BODY THEN WE ARE FILLED WITH THE SPIRIT.  THEREFORE, NO SIN OR DARKNESS SHALL BE ABLE TO DIM THE LAMP OF THE LORD, THE LIGHT THAT SHINES IN THE HEART OF THE SPIRIT-FILLED, SPIRIT MAN.  AMEN!
