Let My Faith in You Increase

2/23/2026

Lord, I ask that my faith in You, providing all my needs, directing my plans, protecting my family and me, helping my unbelief, and trusting You, can increase. I want to have You in my life in all aspects. I realize that if You are present and leaned upon, You will come through with my expectations.

Sometimes, however, I fail to have expectations for You. I ask, Lord, that I can relax in You. Let me not take my eye off You. Let me seek to know You. Let me know your intricacies. As I move to know You more, I will not want to depart from the goodness that comes from knowing You. I acknowledge that I just have to let go, and let You be in total control of me.

Lord, I believe that You want me to acknowledge my vulnerability in this life. The more I learn to trust You for my existence, I will find that living is much easier and enjoyable. Lord, whatever You want of me, here I am. Let my mind be released from the chains of worldly influences. Let me be free so that I can see You as You are. Give me, please, my true heart’s desire. I stand against evil.

Keep Me Close to You

Dear Lord,

I wonder what is the matter if I don’t feel the joy that I think I should be feeling because of staying close to You. This feeling creates the thoughts that I am not in Your perfect will. I am asking You to direct me and let me humble myself so that I can feel the closeness of your love. O Lord, please do not forsake, but let me know where I belong. I will seek You in the uttermost sense. I want to know Your will and not on the periphery of holiness but in the core of it. Lord, cleanse me so that I can dwell in Your presence.

I Put My Desires and Being into Your Hands

Lord, as I seek You, let me not be distracted by my daily living in this world. I am constantly bombarded with so many stimuli. Often, I feel drained and devoid of my own desire and focus to actually serve You.

My earnest desire is to remain focused and completely in Your realm of living. I need You if I am ever to produce for others and myself. I falter when I am interrupted by my flesh wanting to be itself. Just like now, I get totally involved with the pleasures of what my flesh seeks. This becomes an idol because it takes me away from completely focusing on You. There shouldn’t be one thing that blocks or interferes with my mind staying on You. I must recognize what these blocks are and not let them be established.

I seek to have my glory as Your glory for without You there is not a me. Give me the strength so my mind is always on You, and help me to realize that whatever I do, in word, deed and thought, let me do it to Your honor. I mean everything that I could possibly say, do and think. I put my desires and being into Your hands.
