Lord,let me not fail You!
Lord,help me all the time,that I may not fail you.It is not by my might or power but by Your Spirit.Help me not to fail You.
With Your Spirit in Me and Your resources around me,I am always a prepared man,a man you have commanded to help the poor and the needy around me.
I am prepared and commanded to provide for those least ones that follow You,even from my last,like the widow of Zarephath who was prepared and commanded to provide for Your needy Prophet,Elijah.You helped her not to fail You,help me also.
She provided for Elijah first from the last "...only a handful of flour in a bin,and a little oil in a jar,...that we (she and her son) may eat it and die."
Because she did not fail You,You met all her needs:throughout the period of famine,she,her household and Elijah were fed because the Bible records,
"...she and he(Elijah) and her household ate for many day.
The bin of flour was not used up,nor did the jar of oil run dry,
according to the word of the Lord which He spoke by Elijah."
Lord,let me not fail You!
Lord,let me not fail You,because I am always a prepared and commanded man when I am rich and clothed in purple and fine linen and fared sumptuously everyday.". Lord help me to help the poor,the beggar who desire the little (crumbles) from my table.
Lord,let me not fail You,give me the grace to give a cup or more of water to those who follow You that I may have my due rewards.
Lord,help me,help me to give the little or the last, that You may,in the last days say to me,
"Come,you blessed of My Father,inherit the kingdom
prepared for you from the foundation of the world:for I was hungry and you gave Me food; I was thirsty and you
gave Me drink;I was a stranger and you took Me in;
I was naked and you clothed Me; I
was sick and you visited Me; I was in prison and you came to Me."
Lord,help me,help me to do the little or the last to You as I do it to one of the least of those Your brethren.
Help me,oh Lord,let me not fail You!
