O Lord, You caused me to have a great past year. My family and I had so many blessings that can only be attributed to You. You made everything perfect. The little downs were so minor that they have gone unnoticed.
I attribute this blessing to walking closer to You. Not only did these blessings occur, but I experienced a renewed closeness to You. I feel the presence of Your Spirit in my life and I see it operating. I recall when I did not feel Your presence as I do now. I was obviously walking farther away from You. O Lord, let me, please, continue to have Your presence as I do now. Let me put away those things that are unlike You. I know that I must continue to walk closely to You. I must continue to seek your heart. I must know what is righteous and continue in that way. I must conform to Your Spirit and lean only on Your Word. Let me put away my own desires, understanding and flesh; but let me diligently seek to possess all that You can give me. I know that as a result of seeking You and adhering to Your Word, I will blossom and be totally secure. I thank You for this wisdom. Let me trust in You.

As I grow in You, Lord, I want to know the truth of your Word. O Lord, open my understanding and enlighten me to the profoundness of Your Word and decrees. Let me not only know it but let it be in my spirit. Let me use it to enhance the spiritual walk of others. That is my purpose.
Give me the understanding so that I can teach others. I have found my rest in You. I need your help very much in keeping me on the Way. Please don’t let the enemy destroy me. I put my trust in You. Deliver me from the snares and attacks of my own unrighteousness. Give me strength to put asunder those things that have hindered me in the past. Let me take them out of my heart. Let the glory of You shine in my spirit. Thank You for the understanding. I trust You, Lord. I submit myself to You. O Lord, I need a hedge around me for protection. I realize that there is spiritual warfare occurring. I must be strong. I must rely on Your Word. I must stand. I must have the expectation that blessings will occur after going through any temptation and trial. Sustain me, Lord.
I’m seeking Your comfort, Lord, to know whether I have entered into Your rest. I want to do Your will and do those things that are pleasing in Your sight. I don’t want to get caught up in the world or in the flesh so that I am against Your will. I realize how easy it is for me to turn. It appears that sin is always standing near. I see sin not only as doing something that is abhorrent and someone could point to it and easily say that it is sin. For instance, this would be stealing, lying, drunkenness, and other sinful acts like these. But, Lord, I’m speaking of those sins that are only sin to me because of my conscience. If I want a closer walk with You, I must do some things and not do others. For some people, these would not be sin.
Lord, I need to know, or better put, would like to know, what should I do about my life. I feel that I have entered into Your rest where I feel totally comforted in Your presence. In the back of my mind, I’m wondering if I should be doing other things where I would increase in the world. I feel that there should be more I should be doing. But, after looking more closely at your Word, I have determined that I should trust in You, ensure that my heart is right with You, be content with what I have, seek spiritual gifts and manifestations of the fruit of the Spirit in my life. In doing so, I will be fruitful in your kingdom. I must also just wait for what You will do in my life. I need to have only a humble spirit, and You will, at the right timing, give me what I need the most. I want to thank You for allowing me to have the wisdom to see through this. You are a great God. Have mercy on me while I seek You more. Only from You, Lord, do all blessings flow. You have blessed me with so much, Lord. I know that I can never do any deed that would be worthy enough to draw me closer to You. The only acceptable offering to You is my heart. I thank You and praise You for all You have done in my life. I would like to offer my heart as a sacrifice to You. I would like to give it as a mortal man to his eternal and omnipotent God. This is all I have of worth.
Lord, take my heart and mold me according to Your will. Let me offer my sacrifice and let it be acceptable to You. Give me strength so that I don’t falter in heart. I need my heart unblemished for You. Let my desire to have an acceptable sacrifice to You be strong and unwavering. O Lord, You have revealed to me some of the secrets of the heart. I realize that my heart has been tarnished. I ask, Lord, that You wash it clean. I ask that You remove all tarnish, all uncleanness, all stains, all blemishes, and all impurities. I ask, Lord, that You renew it so that it is like new. O Lord, while I put these things away from my heart, let me, please, add the fruit of the Spirit and all righteousness to it.
Let my heart be able to stand before You. Thank You, Lord, for this knowledge. I know that I must be accountable for it. Have mercy on me. I must realize, Lord, that Your Word says that if I want to give good things to my children, that You want to give to me more than I want to give to them. My love for them is strong. Your love for me is even stronger. I need to only abide in Your Word. As I have abided in Your Word, I see how You bless me. I am realizing that there is no good thing that I lack. Your Word says this and I am reaping it according to my dwelling in your Word.
Help me, Lord, to put all weight and sin aside that I may dwell in Your presence. Lord, I rebuke all desires of my flesh, all deceitfulness of my heart and all thoughts contrary to You. I want to get closer to You.
I have realized that my thoughts come from my heart. Therefore, I must present a clean heart to You. I must examine my heart daily so that I may not sin against You. I need to be unblemished before You. The enemy’s attack is on the things that I do. These become sin because they occupy my existence so that I do not focus on You. I must prepare my heart so that in every thought, every moment, every action, I am cognizant of You. I must realize that the longer I go between each moment of recognizing You in my existence, I am slipping and am inviting separation from You. I pray, right now Lord, that all of me be in submission to You. Help me overcome my flesh, heart and thoughts. I am seeking to be, as much as possible, a good servant of You, Lord. In my life, I have gone astray. I am seeking to lead a life that is down the narrow path of The Way. There are many distractions that can move me from the right path. I must be strong and stay on it.
O Lord, give me the strength to ensure that I stay on the right path. I desire not to sin against You. As I deepen my relationship with You, I realize that so much of what I have done and sought was vain. I desire not to be vain. Put the right things in my heart. Take away the impurities of vain living. Help me, Lord. Let me know what is right for me and let me pursue it. Please don’t let me be deceived. The deception leads to misery in the end. Thank You for Your wisdom. Dear Lord,
Increase my desire to walk with You more. I want to know the fullness of Your glory. I want to know the power of Your resurrection in my life. Your life was to give it so that others can have life more abundantly. Christians are now Your body on earth. Christians must do what You would do if You were on Earth. Having this realization, I want, Lord, to be part of Your body. I want to participate in what You are doing by giving others abundant life. Lord, I feel that I am now ready to accept the calling to go out and give others abundant life through You. Let me not look back at where I was, but let me look forward to what will happen. Lord, I believe, without a shadow of a doubt, that You have brought me for this purpose. I receive it. Let me be strong in accepting my mission. You will set my steps for me to be in You. I submit myself to You. |
