Teach me humility
Lead me where you want me to go
Help me understand and respond to the plight of the poor
Make me more like Jesus
Grant me more faith
Grant me victory over sin and temptation
Grace upon me self forgetfulness. What glory that would be!
Grant me love (in action) toward others
Teach me kindness and mercy. Gratitude and thankfulness.
Grant an ever increasing love for you
Teach me to forgive, to seek forgiveness and where needed to make ammends
Deliver me from useless living
Grant me your interruptions into my life that I might die to self and willingly and gladly expend all for others. Whatever the cost. I surrender everything to you. I claim all that I have as yours.
Only … Do not leave me or forsake me. This one thing I ask – all the more – that I may dwell in the house of the lord all the days of my life.
