Prayer

Grant me the following in the name of my Lord. Like a leper rotting in flesh,  
let all avoid me.  
Like a cripple without limbs,  
let me not move freely.  
Remove my cheeks,  
that tears may not roll down them allowing me to rejoice always in my purpose.  
Crush my lips and tongue, that I may not sin with them but better be able to show with my actions my true worth.
Jahovah Nissi protect me from my own waywardness and poor discernment.
May You rip it from me and take your payment from my wounds.
Pull out my nails, that I may not grasp nothing but my Holy Master’s approval.
Like a man with a tumor in the head let me lack judgment so that the one true Messiahs will be the only thing that guides me. Be into the light or darkness  
Yea though I walk through the valley of evil, I shall fear no death.
For my Savior gave the devil permission to cause me harm
Ravage my body sworn to service leaving me with no pride.  
Let no one pray for me. But only the grace of my Lord have mercy on me.  
-Humbly At Your Feet
