Today’s Prayer

Lord, Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Teach me to honor Your way above all other ways presented to me in each moment of daily living. Through You, my spirit is given life. Through You, my weakness becomes strength. Lord, let me not stumble along the path, tripped up by snares of unbelief. Your promises are the light that guides me through the shadows. Stir up deep affection in my heart so that my devotion is pure and untainted by human nature. Only You can help me master that which is difficult to tame within me. Cast me not from Your presence. Shelter me during storms of misery and despair. There is such a vacancy in my heart. Space that only the totality of Your Spirit can fill. Lord, draw me deeper to Your heart as my divine Father. Reveal to me the mystery of love without conditions and grace without borders. All inspiration comes from You. My own interests are mere chaff in the wind. Cheerfully, I depend on You for everything. Make me thoroughly holy to the glory of Your Name. Under the majesty of the Word in Psalm17:4-6 and the authority of Christ, I pray.

Though people tried to bribe me,
    I have kept myself from the ways of the violent
    through what Your lips have commanded.
My steps have held to Your paths;
    my feet have not stumbled.
I call on You, my God, for You will answer me;
    turn Your ear to me and hear my prayer.
Psalm 17:4-6, NIV
