O Lord, I realize that I have become contaminated by the world and its philosophies and ways. I want to clean myself, including my family, of this disastrous, ungodly dilemma.
O Lord, I need You, please, to direct my steps in this matter. I need You to open the doors to the path I should tread. I want to continue to renounce and hate all things that are unlike You. Lord, as your Spirit reveals the Way I should have to get closer to You, let me not fret over the anticipated actions that I must encounter if I am to get closer. Lord, I will trust your Word; it says that You will establish by steps. Lord, I am open and want to become more Christlike. I am trusting You to make everything happen if I have the desire and believe that You can and will do it. Have mercy on me.

I’m realizing, dear Lord, your greatness, goodness and mercy more each day. I’m realizing each one of these in my life daily.
Your greatness is so because You control everything. You created everything. I see your hand in many things and I want to see more of it. You control life and death. Your goodness is present because You take care of me. You provide everything needed plus those things that You know that make me comfortable. Your mercy is there because You continue to be there when I am afar. I have faltered at times but You always are there to pick me up. I must strive to not falter so that I focus more on your goodness instead of mercy. Thank You, Lord, for granting me life and all the benefits of abundant living, such as peace, joy, love, family and physical and mental health. Thank You, Lord, that You have pulled me up from the mire of sin and now sustain me in spiritual harmony. Thank You. I thank You, Lord, for taking care of me. I realize that I must only stay in the boundaries of your Word, and all things will always work out for my good. The key, as Romans 8:28 says, is to love You and be used according to your purpose.
Lord, I yield myself to You. I give everything to You. I offer me, my family and everything that I have to You. Let me learn how to grow in Your love. As I learn to love You more, I will be able to understand and appreciate how much You take care of me. Psalm 91 describes the totality of how You care for me and what I can receive by abiding in You. Lord, let me trust in You so that I shall never have a worry. I have realized that if I have a worry about my well-being or a situation, then I am not taking full advantage of what You have already set for me to have. I desire to be wrapped up tightly in your love. Thank You, Lord. O Lord, I increasingly realize that I must continuously remain in your will. If it ever occurs that I think, or even know, that I am outside your will, I am very vulnerable to attacks from the enemy.
When attacks from the enemy come and if we were to knowingly have sin in our life, we would likely feel that the attacks are a result of our sin. We would feel that these attacks are somehow justified because of the sin. In other words, we would perceive them as punishment for our sin. If sin is present, we would not be able to perceive when God is directing us, through his prodding, to higher ground in Him. We would be incapable of discerning if, what feels like an attack, is actually of God. If we cannot discern what is occurring, we are vulnerable to the trickery that sin can play in lives There are times, however, when we are in God’s perfect will and we experience attacks from the enemy. We must, first, be able to discern what the attacks are. Once we know their origin, we can respond to them accordingly. If they are from the enemy, we must stand firm on God’s Word, not wavering or faltering from what it says. If they are from God, we must pray to Him for understanding of the prodding so that He can shape us into whom He desires. Therefore, it is imperative that we remain unstained from sin if we are to grow in God. Not only will sin stifle our growth in the Lord by turning us away from Him, but also, it will cut off our ability to perceive when He is actually shaping us. In seeking You, O Lord,
I have realized that I feel empty without your Spirit. Please, Lord, don’t let me be removed from You. I want to have You as my totality. I have realized that all things, except You, are vanity or have an end. But, You Lord, are pure and everlasting. I want to know and love You more. I don’t want to be removed from your presence. Let me find your comforting presence every moment of my day, both while awake and asleep. I am seeking You, Lord. Shape me according to Your will. Let me not respond to fleshly desires, but keep my focus on You. Have mercy on me. Let me rejoice in You. I must trust in You, Lord. Let me see You in action. |
