Father God in the Mighty Name of Jesus, I pray dear Lord that you will reveal yourself to me in a very different but yet familiar way. Help me to see my purpose in full as I strive to live out my Christ-like character in this vessel. Please show me my sins so that I may repent and be clean by the washing of your Holy Spirit. Produce in me a mind that is continually shaped by the Word made Flesh. Oh, how much you love me and care for me. Never have you left me astray. You are truly ever mindful of me and my situations. Thank you because without You, when I did not know you, I went on my own. Now that I am wiser, I see that when you order y footsteps and direct my pathways, there is life, light, and truth. May I cling to that rugged old cross where my Savior died. Embracing his divinity and allowing what Christ my Lord has taught to be the road map by which I follow and for those I am call to lead. May I be saturated with a spirit of servitude and humility with every awakening moment aware that it was you who made me and not me myself. Clothe me in your righteousness anchored in your truth in love. no one has ever pursued me like you have and I pray that my affection will only be toward you. Heavenly Father, may you only have my heart and it is to you I will run when you call. May I never put anyone before you regardless of how strange the request may be. Please teach me to love you better and better. And when I think I have reached perfection in anything that I do, remind me immediately that I am here and the ability to do what I have been set apart to do, is first and foremost because of You……..
In Jesus’ Name I pray,
Amen!
Father,
I am unworthy of the peace you give to me. oh how my soul cries out and am very grateful that you chose me when I did not consider your thoughts. How amazing is that? You loved me when I thought that I did not need you or anyone else for that matter. I remember how you would warn me through my mother’s cries and I would not take heed. I was too grown for my own good. I was too much of a big mouth in order to close my mouth so that I may listen. Thank you for teaching me your statues that say, bridle thy tongue. Rebellious and worthy of condemnation but you chose me out of the fire. I could have perished with no one to come to my aide but You dispatched your angel that then lifted me up off of a hallway floor and lead me to safety. I was still blinded by my pride and selfishness to truly comprehend what you were indeed doing. What were you doing? Well I like to call it, pulling me out of the fire—not only in this life but the next. You not only pulled me out just so that I could live but that I may one day live for you. that's worship! You were not only saving me but I would one day be preaching the gospel of Jesus Christ because it is the power of God unto Salvation for there are some young people that have to get this. Our young men and women that have no hope other than what is false. They search for love but to find death lingering in their bottles of liquor, beds filled with bodies exchanging fluids and spirits, drugs whether intravenously or orally. Our young people that have grown faint and weary. Some of our young people have given up on life because the ones called to love them have not. Father, please give me a heart to love them even when they reject my love. Give me a heart to love them even when they say things to hurt me. May I get down on my knees and pray. Father when I have run out on things to say, I’ll just say thank you just for the opportunity to be loved by you and to love regardless of what is on the other end but what is there for me is always for my good because of you. May I love because you loved me before I reciprocated. Thank you that your love is not predicated on me loving you. May that be one of the lessons I teach my young people. And Father, when it seems as though my love is running on E, please give me an extra portion. I love you. In Jesus’ Name I pray, Amen!
