Lord God Almighty, truly the works of Your loving hands are wonderful to behold. For Your perfect hands have molded my soul in such a way as to best radiate the beauty of Your grace. Let me not hinder the completeness of Your testimony by giving in to unfettered emotions or succumbing to the pressures of tempting traps. Bring a sense of meekness to my life. Reveal to me the blessedness of the inheritance I have in You. Keep me from the despair brought on by my own weaknesses. Rather, grant me stamina to withstand the holy pressure of conviction to shape me; and the endurance to embrace trials instead of run from them.  May I, the apple of Your eye, hold tightly to Your hand as I move through life’s journey moment by blessed moment.  When I forget, remind me who I truly am in You, Jesus. Dazzle me with Your presence as You continue making me through the hands of divine love.  Under the beautiful truth of Psalm 17:7-8 and the authority of Christ Jesus, these prayers are a fragrant offering to You, God Almighty.

Show me the wonders of Your great love,
    You who save by Your right hand
    those who take refuge in You from their foes.
Keep me as the apple of Your eye;
    hide me in the shadow of Your wings.
Psalm 17:7-8, NIV
