Lord, I need Your help today to stay focused on You.
- Empower me as I begin another day of active duty in spiritual warfare.
- Stay in my face.
- Intrude in my life.
- Keep me from stupid sins – from thinking I can take over Your work.
Thank You for being my Shepherd.
- I am grateful to have everything I need.
- I am blessed to know – You will provide for me today.
Help me to remember
- Love is kind.
- Love does not give up.
If I want to embrace life and see this day fill up with good
- I must cultivate good.
- I must run after peace for all I am worth.
- 1 Peter 3:10-2 The Message
I love knowing that You are as close to me at the clothes I wear.
- Romans 13:14 New Living Bible
I love setting my heart to serve You at the beginning of each day.
- Today
- I want to be a vessel of Your powerful Spirit.
- I want to lay down my desires and submit to Your desire.
- I want to remember and understand when the noise in my spirit is beyond my control – and give the noise to You.
I want to be a “Resurrection” Person.
- One who believes
- Hope rises from dead places.
- Impossible stones can be rolled away.
Thank You for our family.
- Bless them with Your protection, power, and wisdom today.
- Intrude in their lives.
- Spin and mold their clay.
- Let them be a blessing to those they meet.
- Guide them to people who will bless and encourage them.
Because You love our family even more than I do
- I bring each one to You with great joy
- Knowing without a doubt that You are working in their lives – especially in things that concern me.
- Protect them from evil today.
I love You, Lord.
I love being Your daughter.
Amen
So special to read that prayer first thing this morning! I often think how I wish I lived closer to you so that I could discuss and get your opinion/advice/prayer about all that is going on in my family. But for now, I will be praying your prayer! Thank you!
I have written (and continually adjust) this prayer through out the years to help me focus on Him – especially when life if painful or even when things are just ordinary.
I’d love to talk to you, but remember that God’s Word is your best advisor.
Thank you for putting into words the cry of my heart
So glad you were blessed. I pray this prayer every day and for some reason – as I prayed it today – I felt led by the Spirit to post it. My morning devotional prayer is much more that this, but this is how I start, It grounds me when my spirit is concerned or filled with praise. It is even good for my soul on ordinary days.
