Pleading for a life that matters

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.
