Lord God Almighty, only You can make me into Your likeness. Let the holiness of Your story be written through my life. Take the tragedies and triumphs of each day, Lord. Weave every moment into the eloquence that best reflects the truth of Your Word. May the use of my hands submit perpetually to You. Your love shines in my soul until it becomes a fuller reflection of Your glory and majesty. What must I do Lord, to better resemble who You are? Jesus, let me be a student taught by You. Let me grapple with the holiness that only comes from being in Your presence. Lord, You are the One who determines the course of my day. I submit everyday actions to Your authority. Grant me a special boldness that keeps me from becoming ashamed of the gospel. My heart is prone to wander, Lord. The world continually assaults truth until I find myself battle-weary and prey for the enemy. But You are my defense, Father. It’s my honor to be Yours, Lord. Make me valiant for Your Name and zealous for Your renown, Lord Jesus. Increase the lovingness of Your Spirit in me. Reveal to me opportunities for kindness. Let my legacy point people to You. My time is in Your hands, a treasure to behold by not taking a moment for granted. May faith lead to endurance and hope bring me patience. Teach me to forgive as You have forgiven me. No matter what I do in my life, may it be said of me that I was and always will be a follower of Jesus. Under the reminder in Your Word of truth, Mark 8:38, and the authority of Christ Jesus, I bow in needful prayer.

For whoever will be ashamed of Me and of My words in this adulterous and sinful generation, the Son of Man also will be ashamed of him, when He comes in His Father’s glory, with the holy angels.
Mark 8:38, WEB
