FATHER, it’s not something You need, or even require or a
way of manipulation . . . it’s simply because of the great and awesome things
You have done and continue to do – it’s because of the great and awesome God
that You are. I don’t know that I will
ever be able to grasp or fully understand the depth and breadth of Who You are,
my brain just isn’t capable of such wonder.
I am reminded of my hearts desire – To make knowing and enjoying You the
passionate pursuit of my life. This is
my hearts desire and I’m sorry and my heart is grieved when I lose sight of
this, of You. I just want more of You
and less of me.
I want Yours to be the voice I hear, the voice I listen to
and obey. Forgive me for listening to a
critical spirit, which demands and expects more of others, that takes offense
over things that are not really offendable or that judges in areas where love
should be applied. Rather than arguing
help me to really listen and hear. Where
there is disagreement – show me how to choose ways of maintaining relationship,
of building bridges rather than walls . . . to think more of others than of
myself. I want these things, FATHER and
I know that the desire to see them in my life comes from You and that You will
complete what You have begun in me. Thank You that I belong to You – always and
forever more – I am Yours!
amen!
