People who like to 'be' as in seen, heard, praised etc., etc. yet are in much hypocrisy of what they talk about. They portray themselves as humble but when man's praise is desired, there is no humility.
A person has a bible study almost weekly, speaking of modesty and 'oh, it is so terrible today, that this virtue has been lost' all the while, they will click the like button on relatives pages that show them dressed immodest. A double standard for years.
Another person, talks greatly how others they know are toxic, how ones play the 'victim', all the while they themselves are the very idea of what they speak, all because they are not out front and center like some they see, as the Amish man who was invited to the WH and this person thinks he should have been as well, all because this person has always thought of theirselves superior. They have many, many deceived.
This social media outlet is but a good cover up for these above and many more who do know the real them will not be seen by the people who read their posts or watch their you tube channels. Because how would people actually get to know these and others unless they went to meet them, it is a very unlikely happening.
It is disgusting the amount of deception that actually comes from ones so confessing to be born again in Christ. I do pray that God will expose them.

Second Day Morning Second Day Evening
O God my Creator and Redeemer, I may not go forth to-day except Thou dost accompany me with Thy blessing. Let not the vigour and freshness of the morning or the glow of good health, or the present prosperity of my undertakings, deceive me into a false reliance upon my own strength. All these good gifts have come to me from Thee. They were Thine to give and they are Thine also to curtail. They are not mine to keep; I do but hold them in trust, and only in continued dependence upon Thee, the Giver, can they be worthily enjoyed.
Let me then put back into Thine hand all that Thou hast given me, rededicating to Thy service all the powers of my mind and body, all my worldly goods, all my influence with other men. All these, O Father, are Thine to use as Thou wilt. All these are Thine, O Christ. All these are Thine, O Holy Spirit. Speak Thou in my words to-day, think in my thoughts, and work in all my deeds. And seeing that it is Thy gracious will to make use even of such weak human instruments in the fulfilment Thy mighty purpose for the world, let my life to-day be the channel through which some little portion of Thy divine love and pity may reach the lives that are nearest to my own.
In Thy solemn presence, O God, I remember all my friends and neighbours, my fellow townsfolk, and especially the poor within our gates, beseeching Thou that Thou wouldst give me grace, so far as in me lies, to serve them in Thy name.
O blessed Jesus, who didst use Thine own most precious life for the redemption of Thy human brethren, giving no thought to ease or pleasure or worldly enrichment, but filling up all Thine hours and days with deeds of self-denying love, give me grace to-day to follow the road Thou didst first tread; and to Thy name be all the glory and the praise, even unto the end. Amen
Second Day Evening
O Father in heaven, who didst fashion my limbs to serve Thee and my soul to follow hard after Thee, with sorrow and contrition of heart I acknowledge before Thee the faults and failures of the day that is now past. Too long, O Father, have I tried thy patience; too often have I betrayed the sacred trust Thou hast given me to keep; yet Thou art still willing that I should come to Thee in lowliness of heart, as now I do, beseeching Thee to drown my transgressions in the sea of Thine own infinite love.
My failure to be true even to my own accepted standards:
My self-deception in face of temptation:
My choosing of the worse when I know the better: O Lord forgive,
My failure to apply to myself the standards of conduct I demand of others:
My blindness to the suffering of others and my slowness to be taught by my own:
My complacence towards wrongs that do not touch my own case and my over sensitiveness to those that do:
My slowness to see the good in my fellows and to see the evil in myself:
My hardness of heart towards my neighbours' faults and my readiness to make allowance for my own:
My unwillingness to believe that Thou hast called me to a small work and my brother to a great one: O Lord, forgive.
"Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right spirit within me. Cast me not away from they presence O Lord, and take not they holy spirit from me. Restore unto me the joy of they salvation, and give me the strength of a willing spirit." Amen Psalm 51:10-12
Let me then put back into Thine hand all that Thou hast given me, rededicating to Thy service all the powers of my mind and body, all my worldly goods, all my influence with other men.

"Lord teach us to pray."
Blessed day to you Dear Readers, I am going to do my best to type out a morning prayer and evening prayer each day from a book I was given last summer. The title sums up for me how this book has impacted my life. If you take the time to read you will get the deep picture of what I am saying.
The book is A Diary of Private Prayer by John Baillie. He states that his book is not to replace personal, private prayers, but to enhance them.
First Day Morning
Eternal Father of my soul, let my first thought today be of Thee, let my first impulse be to worship Thee, let my first speech be Thy name, let my first action be to kneel before Thee in prayer.
For Thy perfect wisdom and perfect goodness:
For the love wherewith Thou lovest mankind:
For the love wherewith Thou lovest me:
For the great and mysterious opportunity of my life:
For the indwelling of Thy spirit in my heart:
For the sevenfold gifts of Thy Spirit:
I praise and worship Thee O Lord.
Yet, let me not when this morning prayer is said, think my worship ended and spend the day in forgetfulness of Thee. Rather, from these moments of quietness let light go forth, and joy, and power, that will remain with me through all the hours of the day:
Keeping me chaste in thought:
Keeping me temperate and truthful in speech:
Keeping me faithful and diligent in my work:
Keeping me humble in my estimation of myself:
Keeping me honourable and generous in my dealings with others:
Keeping me loyal to every hallowed memory of the past:
Keeping me mindful of my eternal destiny as a child of Thee.
O God, who hast been the Refuge of my fathers through many generations, be my Refuge to-day in every time and circumstance of need. Be my Guide through all that is dark and doubtful. Be my Guard against all that threatens my spirit's welfare. Be my Strength in time of testing. Gladden my heart with Thy peace; through Jesus Christ my Lord. Amen.
First Day Evening
O Thou who art from everlasting to everlasting, I would turn my thoughts to Thee as the hours of darkness and of sleep begin. O Sun of my soul, I rejoice to know that all night I shall be under the unsleeping eye of One who dwells in eternal light.
To Thy care, O Father, I would now commend my body and my soul. All day Thou hast watched over me and Thy companionship has filled my heart with peace. Let me not go through any part of this night unaccompanied by Thee.
Give me sound and refreshing sleep:
Give me safety from all perils:
Give me in my sleep freedom from restless dreams:
Give me control of my thoughts, if I should lie awake:
Give me wisdom to remember that the night was made for sleeping, and not for the harbouring
of anxious or fretful or shameful thoughts.
Give me grace, if as I lie abed I think at all, to think upon Thee.
My soul shall be satisfied as with marrow and fatness; and my mouth shall praise thee with joyful
lips; when I remember thee upon my bed, and meditate on thee in the night watches. Psalm 63:5-6
To Thy care also, O Father, I would commend my friends, beseeching Thee to keep them safe in soul and body and to be present in their hearts to-night as a Spirit of power and of joy and of restfulness. I pray for...……… and...………...and ………… I pray also for the wider circle of all my associates, my fellow workers, my fellow townsmen, and all strangers within our gates; and the great world of men without, to me foreign and unknown, but dear to Thee, through Jesus Christ our common
Lord. Amen
