You are so much more than I can fathom, more than I can take in. Father, forgive me for how I fall short in my praise and worship of you. How you lift my soul and bring joy to my burdened heart. Thank you for believing in me and showing me that I am your child and you love me whole-ly, completely and perfectly. You are all I need, may I grow more and more each day in the knowledge of that truth.
Father may we as your people grow and accept your love so that we can give it freely to others. I pray that our (my) thoughts would turn from self thought to thoughts of others and where we can be your hands and feet and touch their lives. May we (I) hear and obey when you call us to go.
Father, I ask for more understanding and wisdom so that I can know your character more. I ask that in my life you would be seen long after I am gone, that you would be remembered not me. I lift up my face and look to you, for you are holy. God teach me to bring joy to you through my obedience to you in my daily life. When I feel ill-equipped may I remember that is not in me, it is you in me. May I have the willingness of flesh to step aside and let you shine out of me.
Father be glorified in me, that's all I want. In the most high name of Jesus Christ I pray, Amen
