⚖️"Stating My Case"⚖️
Scriptural Foundation: Ecclesiastes 3:7
"A time to keep silence, and a time to speak."
Father in Heaven,
As you know,
There is always something to say.
Given this position I currently take
Given such a disposition containing so much at stake
I carefully speak this day
Stating My Case.
In form of a thought to release
Truth and peace.
Against an opinion.
I speak Lord, this day
stating my case
versus saving my face
As I depend on your identity in me
Kept until this day
As you listen a moment
You know we have this situation.
Your Word reminds me…
not every truth is meant for every moment.
There is a time to speak
And there is a time to remain silent.
So Lord✝️, teach us the difference.
Since silence is not always weakness.
Yet periodically, it’s wisdom in waiting.
Versus prematurely stating something
That has not substance nor purpose
But to steal, kill, and destroy
Such words that separate a man from a boy
Require faith to listen.
Knowing it’s in our faith to listen
To what is true, honest, just,
Especially pure, yet lovely reports
Of virtue that hold true of research performed
until this day.
I pray Father✝️ carefully with
Restraint this day
Sharing my course of life
Knowing Your Spirit has never been intimidated by quietness.
Even the heavens declare
Your glory without striving.
It’s Especially so with this vessel surviving
The gruesome in war for peace☮️ and clarity
Because the whole time Lord I understood
What was wholesome inside me
As baptism of your Spirit✝️
has defined me
Not innocent ⚖️ bystanders like
radios, nor person,
Nor place nor thing
Yet it’s Your✝️ Love in me
That Has been articulated to me as the only
Noun to understand in this church
So much so,
creation waits upon Your command.
Making the phrase, “order in the court”
Easier to understand.
So now Lord with attention on this prayer
This is my case:
Over 43 years and
God's⛪️10 years here
You have kept me.
To the point now that
✝️Life⚖️ and peace☮️,
Has caused me and others
So much enjoyment that we can actually say,
“We’re having a “ball!””
Why?!☮️
God✝️ you have kept me
Whole, “pure”, and ever increasing in
Excellence of virtue morally
Through the teaching of this church
Now such scripture like 2Corinthians 3:2-5
Is before A father to search in me
The valid course of my life express
As “something” to say as I state my case
Those things on my chest.
So, as you understand fully, I’m silent
Because of this environment
Causing us to seek out what truth really is
So now Lord I’m praying that this man👴🏾
Is able to do so not just for me
But for the good of his loved one
Concerning Your son in life spiritually
And ministry naturally
Knowing Lord that this church has been a blessing to me
And I’d be dead or out of church entirely.
So now Lord I’m praying that a father and his family
Search in me as led by You to find out
Why?!
With Grace, peace, and promise
I pray this pray in Jesus Christ name.
Amen.
