shifty.

house stood firm. The other's house collapsed great.

ü Make
me both a hearer and a doer of Your Word.
ü Give
me courage to follow You to the mountain to hear You.
ü Give
me courage to take action on what I hear. Make me a doer, not just a hearer.
ü Help
me build on the solid foundation of the full Gospel of CHRIST.
ü Help
me focus on obeying You rather than on the "rain", "floods"
and "winds". They are just natural effects that come to distract and
defocus me.
ü Make
me a Luke, not a Demas. A peter, not a Judas.
