Jesus, you have delivered me from sin, you have justified me in your sight and the sight of the Father; and Lord you are at work in the world but also, even in me. And I am confident in this: that you who began a good work in me will carry it on until completion until I am with you forever and made perfect and whole and new.
Jesus, be my refuge from the storm and a be a strong tower (Proverbs 18:10), a protection and shield from the arrows of the devil (Ephesians 6). Keep me from sin. Keep me with you strong right hand on your path with a light lit at my feet to guide me. (Psalm 119:105)
Grant us always to know that to walk with you makes other interests a shadow and a dream. (Philippians 3:7-8)
Help me to be intimate with you and not be interested in being excelled in religion. Help me to be changed and not merely only knowledgeable of you and of information about you. (John 5:39-40) Keep me from being only zealous about ‘ministry’ but never knowing you and never sitting at your feet to listen to you and to be loved. (Zephaniah 3.17 / Luke 10:38-42)
Keep me dependent on you alone and never myself; on my experience or my own insight and wisdom. (Proverbs 3:5-7)
Give me a real, intimate relationship with you. Keep me attuned to your spirit and your voice. Keep me from hearing or listening to the voices of strangers. (John 10:4-5)
Keep me from worry, anxiety; from being harsh, quick tempered or angry, or short of patience with others. Keep me from not paying attention to the ordinary common and incredible gifts and treasures you give me every day.
Don’t let me take my life, my family or others for granted. Help me to remember and know and realize how temporary we are; how fleeting is this life on earth. (Psalm 90:12 / Psalm 119:37)
Jesus, to you be the glory. Psalm 115:1
I live my life for you.
Amen
