My Prayer

My Prayer 

That I never reduce God to being my personal fixer, life guard, or gofer, 

Where He is always waiting on me, 

I am here to serve Him, not Him me, 

He is God, The Creator, The Holy One, The Great I Am, 

And that I always make God's priorities my priorities. 

That I am always honest with God, 

And I always remember God knows me better than I will ever know myself. 

I will always, in prayer, acknowledge Christ and the Love given for all, 

By His suffering and the taking of all our sins upon Himself at the Cross. 

That whosoever believes and accepts Him will receive Salvation and Eternal Life, 

And this has allowed and enabled all to come and stand before God, 

In openness and oneness in Christ, in prayer. 

Before I, acknowledging in prayer any praise, problem, or situation, 

I will always thank God for taking care of all, 

I knowing the Integrity of God's Word throughout the Ages of Time, 

And that He knew all before the placement of the foundation of the Universe. 

Picture of my God, 

He is The God, God of All, The Creator of All, The Most Holy One, 

The Supreme One, The Great I Am, 

He is also my Abba, Father. 

He is more than a personal being, who loves me and cares for me, 

God is my deliverer, 

I will acknowledge my trust in Him, 

And that He is all powerful to deliver me. 

We are family, and He wants me to pour out my praise, fears, and needs, 

He wants me to talk to Him daily, show all to Him, and give all to Him. 

I will acknowledge God's presence, I knowing God wants good for me. 

He is always there for me and I will never be alone in my darkest hours, 

I knowing, He will give me the courage to endure, 

And the strength to persevere. 

I will give Him total control on handling all for me, 

And that whatever He does and whatever the outcome or answer, 

It will be well with me. 

I know God will always give me in return, 

A feeling of personal peace, calm, and reassurance within. 

That God's goodness and greatness will be communicated by me to others, 

That He receives all the praise and glory. 

By this, others may come to know and acknowledge Christ, 

And be saved by God's saving Grace, 

And receive Salvation and Eternal Life, 

Because of what our Lord and Savior did and completed at Calvary, Amen.

Lord, give me the strength daily to place myself before You in prayer,
