He Meets Me

Lord,

I praise you for your call,

your counsel and guidance,

your purposes,

thank you that where you lead me,

you are already there.

You’ll meet me,

even as you’re with me,

and you’ll never leave me

nor forsake me,

so I will lean on you,

acknowledging you in all my ways,

for you make my paths straight.

Bless me to be a blessing,

reveal your love to me,

so I can love well,

and serve and give with a generous heart.

Most of all,

let me just walk right next to you,

every step of the way,

and enjoy your companionship,

delighting you,

rejoicing in your love,

all the days of my life.

I love you Lord.

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.

Merciful Repentance

Lord,

I thank you for the grace to repent,

your merciful spirit that is so sweet.

Forgive me for my unbelief,

clenching my trinkets and baubles,

unwilling to let go

to trust in your provision,

and not seeing your generous hand.

Cleanse my heart with your Word,

and grant me a spirit of obedience

of undivided love and attention for you.

Let your will be the only remaining,

abiding joy and delight of my life.

Don’t let me walk down the path of destruction,

straight to hell

with my self deception, excuses, and rationalizations,

but give me the grace,

again and again,

to draw near to you,

and repent,

trusting in your unfailing mercy,

your power to restore.

Thank you for never letting me go,

your long suffering and patience,

never giving up in pursuing me

for my good and for your glory.

I bless you Lord.

Desires Of My Heart

Lord,

show me how you delight in me,

how you rejoice over me with singing,

let me see myself rightly through your eyes,

not thinking too low or too highly of myself,

as dark but lovely.

Let me delight, rejoice, and worship you rightly,

following your ways.

Grant me your desires,

place them in my heart,

root them deeply,

water and grow,

nurture and strengthen them,

pour out revelation and anointing,

and bless your desires within me,

that I’d long for and walk only in your best for me.

Let your thoughts that outnumber

all the grains of sand on the seashore,

percolate around and within me,

help me to hear your Voice,

sense your presence,

constantly revealing,

making your Self known to me.

Go before me,

hem me in from behind,

and let me walk by your side,

in intimate fellowship all the days of my life,

known by you.

Amen.

Loved In Transition

Lord,

thank you for your presence with me,

your mercy in this transition,

as I dangle not all that gracefully

from this point to the next,

thank you for holding onto me,

carrying me through each day.

Help me to trust you more,

understanding my heart,

the mixture of anxiety and hope,

dread and anticipation,

fear and excitement,

let me surrender it all to you,

leaning in to trust in you,

good Shepherd, loving Father,

setting my heart to believe, trust, and hope,

that you take me from glory to glory,

and through the valleys in between.

I thank you and 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.

Following Him

Lord,

Thank you for your grace,

for eyes to see,

your presence going before me,

following in your footsteps,

leading me on a journey

that I know

leads only straight into your heart,

though the rest is still a mystery.

I let go of my crutches —

my expectations, assumptions,

my carefully laid plans and controls,

and embrace hope in faith,

trusting you in this adventure.

You’ve called me out of my old life

into a relationship with you,

and I can’t wait to run with my Beloved,

forgetting what is behind,

pressing on towards what lies ahead,

my heavenly reward

in You.

Amen.

Heart’s Desires

Lord,

you know my heart,

better than I know myself.

I trust you,

and put myself into your hands.

Draw out,

bless,

anoint the desires

you’ve placed in me

as I look to you.

Breathe upon them,

give them life

and wings through my hands and feet.

Grow me, mature me

into the fullness of who you’ve called me to be.

Give me vision,

fill me with hope

of your call for my life.

Enable me by the power of your Spirit,

to hear and obey,

and worship you with all that I am

through this life you’ve given me.

I praise you and bless your precious Name.

Amen.

Deliverance

Lord,

I bless you for your blood that covers me,

cleansing me from all my sin,

delivering me from death,

the lamb’s blood painted on the door frame,

the angel of death passing over,

I rest safe and secure,

because of your sacrifice.

I listen in the deep of the night,

their wailing cry of grief rising up,

those embroiled in idolatry,

rebellion against you,

and the fear of the Lord fills my heart,

holy awe at your hand of deliverance.

I praise you for making the way,

for saving me from my captors and enemies.

You alone are God,

great and mighty are you,

worthy of all praise!

Amen.

Leaving The Past Behind

Lord,

Thank you that my life is in your hands.

I can shake off the burdens of my past,

the regrets and failures,

trusting you will work all things for my good,

and reveal to me the treasures hidden in darkness.

I praise you for your wisdom, discernment,

and counsel dispensed into my spirit,

your molding, pruning, and stretching;

forging me in your continuous flame of love

as I am being created in your image.

I forget what is behind,

you clear my vision for what lies ahead.

No more shadows looming in the future,

or expectations and assumptions I should fulfill,

but surrendered and free, I look to you today,

in this moment,

the gift of your presence with me,

let me run with you.

I bless you Lord.

Amen.
