O Lord, have mercy on me. As I get closer to You, the desires of my flesh increasingly rise to distract me from Your Word and will. I must be strong in You. The desires are for me to do things that are not Christlike.
I wonder, Lord, if these feelings from the flesh are from boredom. I am wondering if I always need something new happening in my life. If, after a short period of doing the same things over again, I need a change to do something else or the flesh acts up, I must learn how to remedy these feelings. O Lord, have mercy on me. Living in this world for me is so complex. I’m always seeking something. Help me, Lord. There is always something that needs attention and energy. It is never just a time of relaxation or settling. There is always something on the fire. Help me be strong in doing my duties in this world.

O Lord, I pray that the fruit of the Spirit can be displayed in my life. I am asking that I can put on the new man and take off the flesh; therefore, the Spirit’s fruit can be more visible in my life. I pray, Lord, that I submit to the Spirit’s desire to manifest himself throughout all my doings. I pray that I can let the Spirit have His way, and not be controlled by my own natural desires.
Let my spirit be totally limp to Your Spirit in me. I formally detest and renounce all likings that my flesh has created. I enthusiastically welcome the Spirit’s fruit in my life. I ask that I have the wisdom to receive the fruit while discarding the deeds of the flesh. I have, through faith, the assurance that by relying on Your Spirit, I will attain abundant life in this world. I ask, Lord, that You help me with my trust. Let my actions be of walking in faith. O Lord, I am seeking You. I want to know You in my life. I want to know and feel Your presence in what I do and how I do it. I realize that there is no other way for me to live. I must totally devote myself to You.
I believe that to know You means knowing your Word. I must immerse my being in knowing and applying Your Word. I am asking, Lord, that You enlighten me in the study of Your Word. Let me understand its profoundness, yet still having simplicity. Let me search it and uncover its trues so that it can be manifested in my life. This is my prayer, dear Lord. I want more of Your ways in my life. O Lord, You let me realize today that when I am weak and feeling unproductive, You can turn these feelings into Your glory. I thank You that I have realized this. Although I know that Your Word says this, I had the opportunity to experience it. Not only did I feel weak, I did not feel like being involved. In this situation, the outcome of my actions was one of the best.
Thank You for showing this to me. O Lord, let me turn to You more as I live my life. I need You for everything I do. I can’t do anything on my own. Let me know how vulnerable and inept I am on my own strength. Let me give my life, my all, over to You. Let me realize that I am nothing without You. Let me realize that my every word, thought, and deed be from You. I need Your Spirit for my sustenance. I want to be in Your favor through my words, thoughts and deeds. |
