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.
