Keep Me In Your Path

Lord,

I praise you,

you are my portion,

my inheritance,

my treasure,

everything I’ve sought and needed,

the fulfillment of all I long for.

Thank you for holding onto me,

the long, broken path

you’ve allowed

for me to surrender

and finally find rest in your hands.

I surrender anew to you,

all of my self-conceptions,

assumptions, expectations

regarding what I think is right or wrong,

my tree of knowledge of good and evil,

my self will,

what all the voices of my life have dictated,

from family, culture, tradition,

church, religion, society, and the world.

I lay down my past of regrets, failures,

and dim successes.

I lay down my future created by

my rigid and limited expectations.

Help me to be here now…

with You.

Opening up my heart,

my Path, my Way

in You alone.

Please let me walk in the garden with you Lord,

in your heartbeat,

teach me Your Ways,

show me Your Path.

Keep me always Lord,

and hold onto me,

that I would never get lost

or go astray again.

I love you Lord.

Amen.

Love Looks Like

Love looks like…

an invitation,

a glance, a gaze from afar,

studying and sweet,

tender and kind.

Love looks like…

acceptance, an interest,

a detailed and thorough care,

an uplifting, supporting strenth.

Love looks like…

passion, intensity,

a fire in the belly,

waters that cannot be quenched.

Love looks like…

broken pain,

vulenerability,

grief, loss, weakness,

an empty hole,

a cross.

Love looks like…

a small stream,

finding its way past the boulders,

rocks and walls,

swelling and building,

washing away its obstacles.

Love looks like…

a victor,

powerful, glorious, radiant,

touching, transforming, changing

all in its wake,

to beauty from ashes,

life from death.

Love looks like…

the cross, the resurrection,

the presence of God.

My Lord is Love.

Amen.

Draw Me

Lord,

hold my heart,

let me crave your love

more anything this world has to offer.

Draw me to you,

with no hesitation, no walls within me,

help me to run to you,

and enter into your depths of kindness and love.

Thank you for opening your heart,

embracing my shame and guilt first,

loving me into your hand,

granting me faith in your way.

I am dark but lovely,

and I’ve neglected my life,

yet you call and revive me,

you show me the path

to find myself

in your presence and with your people.

I praise you Lord for your love,

your forgiveness, restoration, and hope,

and I bless your Name.

Amen.

To Know Him

Lord,

help me to trust you,

through to every crevice of my heart,

I invite you,

your presence,

your Spirit,

your will,

your ways,

to lead and guide me.

Let my decisions,

my life, my ways

be in perfect alignment with yours.

I cannot live without your presence,

I falter and fail without your favor and Spirit,

I need you Lord,

bless me to see you,

know you, and love you rightly.

I praise your Name.

Amen.

His Goodness

Abba,

I repent of the lie

I’ve believed —

that you are not all good.

How deeply this lie has rooted in me,

since childhood the enemy’s only deceived,

and kept me in unbelief.

Thank you for exposing the lie,

for the years you’ve proven your love to me

… again and again.

and I surrender once more,

my will, my independence,

my desire to defend, avenge,

take ahold of my own life,

and I give it to you.

You know me,

you love me,

and I praise you for your love,

your protection and kindness.

The devil’s a liar,

and I know,

you are so good.

I bless you Abba.

Amen.

All Is Given

Abba,

thank you that all that I am,

all that I have,

is from you.

My being, my soul,

my breath, my body,

living, moving, active,

my needs met,

my wants in you satisfied,

everything is from you,

sustained through you,

and is for you.

I praise you for you’ve held nothing back,

all that is yours you have given me,

your precious Son,

your open heart,

all the cattle upon the hill,

blessings upon blessings

I have only yet to fathom.

Let me doubt no more

in who I am,

your beloved child,

and in who you are,

my good, good Father,

and I will never lack

for I am yours.

Amen.

Word Of God

Lord,

grant me a hunger and thirst for your Word,

let me read, peer in,

Spirit, lead me and guide me into all Truth,

increase the spirit of wisdom and revelation upon me,

to see you clearly and rightly—

to know your heart,

your personality,

your thoughts,

your character,

your eyes of fire,

your hair as white as wool,

your outline, your shape,

your life and death,

your eternal presence going before me,

a window into God’s heart.

Be pleased to reveal yourself to me,

that I may offer pure delight and worship unto you.

I bless you Lord.

Amen.

Faithful Witness

Lord,

I pray for a soft heart,

a humble, teachable spirit,

true humility,

eyes to see,

ears to hear

through your Spirit.

Help me to walk with you,

in the rhythm of your heartbeat,

guided by your Spirit,

and illuminate the path before me,

every step,

every choice,

with your Word,

building a life

of righteous choices,

moral integrity,

goodness, faith, and loving kindness,

to leave a legacy

of your Name and glory.

Let me be a faithful witness

of my beautiful Lord.

You alone are worthy!

Amen.

God’s Face

God,

I praise you for your Son,

Lamb of God,

who came to take away the sins of the world.

I thank you for cleansing me of all my sins,

and for tabernacling within me,

making the way to see your beautiful face.

In faith I receive your Son,

I believe all that He has done,

dying for my sins,

taking my punishment upon His frame,

resurrecting into overcoming life,

giving life abundant and eternal,

and I bless you for your mercy,

your lovingkindness and goodness.

I eat of the Bread,

thank you that you desire relationship with me,

drawing me to your table,

enjoying sweet fellowship,

intimacy with you.

As I set my heart, my mind, my way upon you,

looking upon the kindness, tenderness, and compassion

of your holy Face,

let your face shine upon me,

be gracious to me,

let the light of your countenance be upon me,

and grant me your peace.

I bless you Lord.

Amen.

Let Me…

Lord,

Let me…

be wise,

and trust your Spirit,

your Word,

leading and guiding me into all truth⁠—

peaceable, full of light,

gentle, sincere,

considerate, and merciful.

Let me…

trust your heart

for you are good,

generous, and kind.

You are tender and caring,

knowing every hair on my head,

your thoughts outnumbering

all the grains of sand on the seashore.

Let me…

be at rest,

knowing my life is in your hands

working all things for my good,

for you glory.

Let me never stop praising you… always!

I bless you Lord.

Amen.
