Oh
God, I stand in awe of your glory, grace, mercy and love. Only a
piece of the puzzle yet You see me as the full puzzle. You never make
mistakes. I have fallen many times, You are still faithful, still
willing to hold my hand and show me the way. Never giving up in me.
You say You will never leave me nor forsake me. I give myself to You,
my past, my present and my future. My dreams, my family, my life take
it all. Do as You will LORD. I give up, it's in Your hands. I leave
all my worries, all my doubts, all my fears, all my questions at Your
feet.

I
am tired of being independent when at the end of the day I can't do
anything without You. The air I breathe, the health I have You have
given me. I am tired of fighting and the war is won. I am tired of
being timid when you have said the righteous are as brave as a lion.
I am tired of wanting my own way, I leave you to be in control. Have
Your way my LORD.
Everyone in my life has a plan, but Your
purpose will be accomplished. Everyone has their place in my life. I
am tired of judging them. I am not 'all that'. Everyone in my life
has something to teach me about myself, yet I am learning about them.
I see all the bad things in them yet You want to get the bad things
out of me, for me to be a living example. What is the lesson? What do
You want to teach me LORD. I am ready to learn.
I am tired of
pretending, I am not perfect. Help me be authentic first with myself
then I can be authentic with others. No more religion, it's closing
my eyes from the big picture. I believe You will finish what You
started LORD. Forgive me for my ignorance, my grown-up-ness, my
pride, my my my doubts, the gossip, the stabbing, the jealousy, the
comparisons, my words, my thoughts, my fears. I am guilty. I receive
Your forgiveness. I pray to daily walk with You, to realize that I
will fall again and again and You will always be there to help me
stand and get me back in my feet. It will never be over until You say
its over.
I want to be that little child who trusts that
their parents not to let them fall, who doesn't ask questions but
waits to be provided for, for doors to be opened, for ways to be
made, for protection and a helping hand in times of trouble. I am
that little child, trusting fully, not leaning on my understanding.
You are God in my life. You are in control. I will be still and know
You are LORD.
I will live knowing Your word will not return
to You void. It will accomplish what You desire and achieve the
purpose for which You sent it. Your ways LORD are higher than my
ways, and Your thoughts than my thoughts. I choose today to trust and
obey. I believe the blessings in Deuteronomy 28 are Your promise to
me.
What prayer are you making today? Remember that God loves and wants the best for you.
Psalms 19:14 Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation
of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O LORD, my strength, and my
redeemer.
