Use Me Lord

Lord,

I praise you,

Creator of all heaven and earth,

thank you,

you remember me,

less than a speck in the universe,

desiring to bend down

and use me for your purposes,

for my utmost joy and satisfaction,

for your delight, glory, and kingdom.

Grant me faith,

each and every day,

to press in to your will.

Forgetting what is behind,

pressing on towards the goal,

the high calling in Messiah

to know you, be known by you,

to love you, be loved by you,

and to obey your Words of life,

follow the guiding of your Spirit,

and to truly love… and live.

Strengthen me, provide for my daily needs,

to partner with you

in establishing your kingdom—

rigteousness, peace, and joy

—in this generation.

I love you Lord,

you are worthy!

Amen.

Rooted In His Word

Lord,

let me delight in your Word,

loving your instruction,

meditating on your rhema

cherishing your guidance and counsel,

my heart wrapping around

your still small voice,

seeking out your whispers and nudges.

Cast away all other voices,

as far from me

as the east is from the west,

and let me be keen to discern,

so that I may not sit, stand, or walk

in worldly counsels

or fellowship in ungodly company.

Let me be an oak tree

firmly planted in living waters,

always blessed, nourished,

and prosperous in your ways,

rooted and grounded in you,

unshakable for whatever the future may hold.

Make it so Lord,

I put my faith in you.

I bless your Name.

Amen.

My God

God of Abraham,

God of Isaac,

God of Jacob,

God of my life,

I praise you for the personal relationship

you would have with me,

different from any other,

you’ve knit me uniquely,

you talk, relate, love me specifically.

I’m known, seen, and blessed.

For you are my God,

my Lord,

my Savior.

I love you God.

Amen.

Cleanse My Heart

Lord,

give me a willing spirit,

a soft and open heart,

to listen to your voice

and receive your Word.

Help me to accept your correction,

embrace your discipline,

and to trust in you,

not my own strength, intelligence, and power

(or lack of).

Help me to draw near to you,

and not the idols presented by the world.

I repent of clinging to my comforts,

numbing through addictions,

distracting myself through busyness and shiny pursuits,

instead of honestly, humbly turning to you.

Cleanse and purify my heart,

give me clean and pure lips,

choice and blessing words,

and let me call on your Name,

in peace and unity with your Spirit.

I praise you and bless you.

Amen.

Cherish The Lord

Lord,

I praise you,

you are the Aleph and the Tav,

the beginning and the end,

uncreated One,

who was and is and is to come.

I bless you Lord

for being the author and perfecter of my faith,

cherishing my eternal soul,

knowing how to guide this wayward free will

back to you,

time and again.

I ask you for the fear of the Lord,

the spirit of wisdom, knowledge,

understanding, discernment, and insight,

counsel, and might to know you

and walk in your ways.

Please don’t let me go,

take me deeper into your love,

let me never tire of gazing into your holy Mystery,

and help me to be faithful,

trusting in you to the end.

I love you Lord.

Amen.

Knowing Him Rightly

Lord,

let me see you clearly,

le me know you rightly,

believing your Word,

standing in your Truth,

tender to your Spirit.

Protect and deliver me

from the gimmicks, charisma,

deception, and hype that would tickle my ears,

shiny packages wrapped with your name

but devoid of you.

I ask for the fear of the Lord,

help me to understand your sacrifice,

everything you gave,

everything you demand,

counting the cost of following you.

I pray to surrender all

counting all things as loss

because of the treasure of knowing you,

so with joy, thanksgiving, and praise

I give my life to you.

I bless you Lord.

Amen.

A Beautiful Heart

Lord,

please give me a soft heart,

sensitive to your Spirit,

tender towards your nudgings,

feeling what you are feeling,

loving what you love,

hating what you hate.

Give me a hungry heart

that leans towards you,

seeks after you,

draws near to you,

to be replenished by your Spirit and life.

Give me a humble, faithful heart,

that rests and stands on your Word alone,

and lives for the audience of One.

Make me yours,

always and forever Lord.

Amen.

Follow Him

Lord,

I hear your Voice saying,

“Follow Me.”

Grant me the grace to come

without hesitation,

forgetting what is behind

and pressing on towards the goal

of your heavenward call before me.

I praise you for the mustard seed of faith,

thank you for strengthening me as I step out,

parting the sea of chaos and confusion,

allowing me to step on dry land,

and hiding me under your talit.

I’m safe and secure with you,

never let me go,

hold onto me

when my strength fails,

and uphold me

to walk in your ways

every step of the way

knowing your staff guards me

and your rod keeps me close.

I love you Lord.

Amen.
