Lord,
I bless you,
your still, small voice
soothes, calms, and settles,
bringing your peace and comfort
in the midst of my heart.
One word from you
dispels the anxious clamor pressing in,
melts down paralyzing fear,
heals tormenting pain.
Your word is beautiful Truth,
a way forward,
a light unto my path.
You are my Savior, Healer, and Deliverer,
King over all, humble Servant,
my Good Shepherd,
I praise you for ever revealing yourself,
ever making yourself known to me.
Thank you Lord.
Amen.
Lord,
You are the great King
ruler over all gods,
I praise you with all creation —
the distant shores,
the earth’s depths,
the mountain peaks,
are all in your hands.
I bless you Lord
for being our Maker,
you are our Good Shepherd,
caring for your flock,
we are secure in your pasture.
Let me always hear your voice,
soften and open my heart,
bind my will to yours,
and let me enter securely
into your rest.
Amen.
Lord,
I long to heed you,
follow your voice,
be in your peace,
assured of your presence
and blessed.
Help me Lord,
cast these voices that whisper in my ears,
confusing, tormenting,
insidious gargoyles,
as far as the east is from the west,
far, far away from me.
Clear my mind,
cleanse my thoughts,
revive my heart,
refresh my spirit.
Let me hear your voice,
love and obey your Word,
and walk in the path of your presence
and blessing,
all the days of my life.
I bless you Lord.
Amen.
Lord,
Thank you for your grace,
your understanding, comfort, encouragement
in the midst of my failures and weakness.
Thank you that your voice never accuses,
nor condemns,
but draws close, strengthens, empowers,
so that I rejoice in your goodness,
your sweet kindness once again.
Fill me with faith again,
grant me strength,
give me vision and hope,
help me to persevere and be diligent,
and let me be bold and courageous
in your directives,
trusting you are with me,
your Spirit enabling and resuscitating
fresh power, ability, and skill
to fulfill your purposes for your glory.
I praise you and bless you Lord.
Amen.
Lord,
thank you that you are with me
as I apply faith to my feet,
stepping into the unknown.
You are my Good Shepherd
who leads, guides, and counsels,
your Spirit already has gone forth
to prepare the way,
you are the Aleph and the Tav
knowing all beginnings and the end.
So I capture the arrows of fear, anxiety, and unbelief
casting them upon you,
and stand upon your Word and Rhema,
you’ve called and I will follow.
You’ve saved me from sin and death,
molding me into a new creation
and set apart to fulfill your purposes,
with you,
glorifying your Name.
You keep my foot from stumbling,
you will not let me put to shame,
you open doors no man can shut,
you shut doors no man can open.
You have plans to prosper me,
not to harm me,
plans to give me a hope and a future.
I will trust in your goodness,
stepping out to answer your call,
intent on obedience,
entrusting the rest to you.
Grant me boldness, courage, and faith
knowing you are with me,
you desire success for me,
and I have no lack in you.
I bless you Lord.
Amen.
Lord,
thank you that you’re with me,
right by my side,
holding my hand,
walking, leading, guiding me,
you are my Good Shepherd.
Even as the storms rage around me,
I’ll keep myself here
in your presence and love,
keeping my eyes fixed on you,
I shall not fear,
and I will trust you,
letting your rod pull me closer,
your staff defeat my enemies,
you are with me
through the fire, deep waters,
the mountains and valleys,
you will not allow my feet to stumble.
Glorify your name through me Lord
no matter what I am going through,
help me to thank you,
praise you,
love you,
bless you.
You are my God,
and I know you are faitful.
I worship you.
Amen.
Abba,
thank you for your words of life,
your strength, comfort, and encouragement.
Thank you for you still, small,
ever present voice,
deep as the ocean swells,
buoying my heart up
in the midst of the storms
and rain of accusations.
I still my heart to hear you,
to wrap my heart around your words alone.
Thank you that in Messiah,
I am enough,
I have everything I need in you,
and that your father’s heart
is proud of your daughter
where I can only see failure and regret.
You only ever beckon me forward,
to press in to your promises,
leaning into your love,
your leading and grace,
through the dark resistant clouds,
your love,
your presence with me
always makes a way.
You are my eternal Father,
let me only believe more
in the riches of your love, mercy, and grace.
I love you Abba.
Amen.
Lord,
let me be face to face with you
throughout the day,
sharing my thoughts,
baring my heart,
not holding back
coming honestly,
vulnerable and open
before you.
I need you Lord…
so easy for me to say,
yet difficult to bend my knee and do,
humbling for my pride and independence.
Where I’m on autopilot,
depending on my own strength
please gently remind me of your presence,
that you’re with me,
willing and ready to teach me, train me,
show me, guide me, help me once again,
in better, wiser ways than my own.
Let my heart be open to your instruction,
wrapping around your wisdom and counsel,
inviting your strength and power
leaning on you,
so that I walk in your ways,
and am blessed.
Show me how to talk with you,
partner with you,
do life with you,
and let the distractions melt away,
so that I have dove’s eyes before you.
You and me Lord,
please help me to run this race,
and finish well,
and receive your full inheritance in me.
You are splendid, beautiful, and true,
let my life faithfully reflect your worthiness.
Amen.
Lord,
thank you,
you get me,
you know me better than I know myself,
through my images,
visages and projections,
covering up,
diverting away from my sin and grime,
you peel it off,
layer by layer,
a gentle scrub,
a piercing cut,
a healing balm
revealing blood-infused life,
new wineskin,
your spirit resurrecting
the dead within.
You’ve got me,
walking, fumbling
in my new identity,
unsure, uncertain,
but following your voice,
messing up,
getting stuck,
dangling in transition,
but…
your Spirit a powerhouse within,
overcoming, rerouting all my failures,
using all my compost for life abundant,
growing and guiding me,
to live free and strong
from the inside out,
your hand upon me,
you’ll never let me go.
I rest secure in you.
Thank you Lord.
Amen.
Lord,
Be my vision,
your Word, a lamp unto my feet,
your Spirit, a sweet, sure guide —
a cloud before me by day,
a pillar of fire by night.
Please guide my steps,
make my path clear,
so my feet will not stumble,
and I do not lose my way.
Grant me wisdom,
place me with
wise counselors who’ve traversed your ancient paths.
Give me discernment and insight,
patience in your timing,
that I may not run ahead,
or lag behind,
but walk with you,
knowing you,
confident in intimacy,
running the race you’ve
uniquely called me to.
Show me when to move
and when to rest,
and let me do both wholly and fully,
growing in my understanding
of my knit and function.
I praise you for your call to follow you.
Help me to cast off all that hinders,
the sin that so easily entangles,
and pursue you,
my reward, my treasure,
my portion and my inheritance,
source of my life.
Amen.
