~Another Message of Hope from Prayer of God Ministries, Prayer and Poem written by Elena Ramirez....All Rights Reserved....Poem Entitled "MARK OF EXCELLENCE...Inspired from our Lord, to reach out to others, to use our gifts and callings, to never, ever forget what Christ did on that cross...as we reach for that Mark of Excellence in him.....Praise God...~

 
"Mark of Excellence"

Is there something
God has called you to,
But you won't step up
And see it through?
 
Is something
Holding you back?
For, you, only,
See your lack.
 
Do you weigh the odds
And put them in a stack
Against your calling?
Do you see yourself
Failing and falling?

Oh, dear one, by Christ,
The battle is won.
Look to that place of grace,
Where God will show his face ...

Where you can be
All HE has called you to be.
By your actions,
Set someone free.
 
It may be for you to see.
Pick up the pieces.
In faith, he is the one
That increases us.
 
Focus on the Mark of excellence
Upon our Lord, Jesus,
And as HE did for us.
 
Speak a word
In due season.
For, his calling
Will be the reason.
 
Be Bold, not Cold. 
By your fear, be not sold,
Ignoring the word
That his promise has told.

Open your heart.
HE will not depart.
Plant a seed to the spirit.
Those, that need to,will hear it.
 
It will feed by the need.
HE will tell you what to do.
HE will see you through.

HE will make a way, as you pray.
So, even now, today,
Seek him in every way.

Focus on the mark of excellence,
In innocence and reverence.
By his commandments,
Not negligence,
Seek his presence.

In everything, bring glory
To our Lord, our King.
Let your heart sing
Upon the mountain top
And, there, do not stop....
 
In your own way,
Show who Christ is, today.
For, what HE has done for you
HE will do for others, too.
For, HE has not changed.
 
HE is the same Yesterday,
Today, and Tomorrow.
HE will deliver those
From pain and sorrow.
 
Aim for the mark of excellence
And not only once,
But twice, maybe
Three times, or four.
 
 It matters not.
God will keep the score
And show you more....

Reach for the mark of Excellence.
Make a difference.

Phillipians 3:14
I press toward the mark
for the prize of the high
calling of God in Christ Jesus.
 
Psalm 150:2
Praise him for his mighty acts:
praise him according
to his excellent greatness.
 
Psalm 37:37
Mark the perfect
man, and behold the upright:
for the end of that
 man is peace.
 
Father, my Lord, Great are you,
and worthy of all praise.  My Lord,
I hear you calling us,
your children, together, and reminding
us, of your plan.  For it is a plan of good,
and not evil.  To know, who we can
be in Christ, that we can do
all things through Christ, who
strengthens us.  That nothing is
too hard for you.  That you can make a way,
when there was no way.  You can bring
water, out of the dry ground, and
even make a path to walk,
as you did for Moses, and your people
as you delivered them from Egypt.
Father, make us instruments,
to hear your voice, to be obedient,
and to be used mightily by you...
Each one of us, has that ability,
if we only commit everything to you. 
Not wavering....I pray, we do. 
Let us reach that mark of excellence..
In holiness...Reveal the way Lord,
Please, as we thank you....
 In Jesus name, Amen

This Prayer of God, Message of Hope,
is dedicated to artist Bill Gray.
Bill died, May 10th, 2002, after giving his testimony on live television.  Moments, after he shared his testimony, he had a heart attack, and the Lord took him.  His life, and his testimony gave glory to God
up to the last minute of his life.
 
Please check out the above web site and, if possible,
order his beautiful Christian art prints, to help his family. 
 
Bill was a gifted artist, who used his art for the glory of God
 May his life be a reminder that God can take us at any time.
 
If you have not made that decision to accept Jesus Christ, as your Lord and Savior, today would be a good day for you to make that decision.  We do not know, what the future holds.  But you would know you'd have a place with God.  Isn't it worth a prayer? 
 
If you do not know how to pray that prayer, please write.
I would be glad to take you to my Father's throne, in prayer,
so that you can find your place; your Name in His Book of Life.

God Bless You,
Elena
