O Lord, You have brought me a long way in my walk in getting closer to You. I have changed in many ways. I feel at peace and I diligently seek You. You continue to bless me with so many things, especially those that are not material. I thank You for all this. I earnestly desire to walk according to The Way. However, as I continue to try, I continue to falter. Although the faltering is much smaller than what my faltering used to be, I feel that it is in greater magnitude. I’m afraid that if I falter at something, I am on my way to completely disregarding The Way.
Have mercy on me. I must not falter. I must hate faltering. I must do everything in my strength, mind, soul and heart not to falter. Faltering leads to destruction. O Lord, please give me strength to not falter. Please remove any stimuli that might cause me to falter and create situations that I can be unblemished. Please help me. I don’t want to fall short of the mark.

O Lord, I have realized that if a person keeps his way according to Your precepts, You can and will give him beyond the measure that he thought for himself. The key is: keeping his way according to You.
O Lord, now that I have this realization, I want to be even more diligent and cautious over keeping my way according to Your Word. I have a fear and I want more fear of what would happen to me if I changed my way from Your Word. I have tasted Your excellence, dear Lord, and I do not want to in any way to depart from You. I will seek ways to stay close to You. I want to create more and more of a desire to hate every evil way. I desire to have total disdain for any form of evil. As I seek You, please give me wisdom to walk in the Way. Lord, the walk I have with You now is like walking in the clouds, or I guess it could be like Peter walking on the water to meet You. That is how I feel. I want to stay on top with You. I know that there is the reality that I could sink, but I will keep my eyes focused on You while trusting You to keep me safe. I know now that if I take my eyes from You and lose trust, I will sink. I want to get closer to You, putting on the Spirit’s fruit. Thank You for this knowledge and the yearning to make my way Yours. Have mercy on me. O Lord, I want even to become stronger in You. I want to be conscious of You 100% of the time. I want to know You even in my sleep and dreams. I do not want ever to have You out of my mind.
Please help me so that in every moment I am conscious of Your Spirit. In this way, I can do and improve in doing the things that are pleasing to You. I want to put away all things that are of the flesh. I want more of Your Spirit taking control of my life. The more I have of You means the less I have of myself. I have realized that there is no good for me in living under my desires. I need You not only for myself but also my family. |
