Lord PLEASE KEEP me

I'm re-posting this blog from June 2009 because I need it. Sorry for the re-run but this "holiness" chapter in my schoolbook is causing me pain of the thought I'm not able and the vision knocks me off my feet. So here it is... "Keep me Lord because I want to be kept." A prayer our Pastor/Apostle/Prophet/teacher/mentor/Bishop Carl Smith, New Birth California, prays. More about this awesome church at www.newbirthcal.org. I found myself praying “keep me Lord because I want to be kept” this morning, fervently. It had special meaning this morning as I thought, Lord, there are trials and devastation and during those I may be hurt or act stupid and Lord PLEASE keep me because I do want to be kept. Help me behave right in a storm. Help me keep my eyes on you when the trial comes. Help me pray instead of complain. Help me go to YOU for my encouragement and help. Keep me Lord because I DO want to be kept.
