I Need You So Much

Come O Lord and renew my faith. Strengthen my heart that has grown feeble from carrying my daily load. Fill my heart with Your truth and grace so I can move forward for You again. Since You won my freedom from sin, help me free myself from the entanglements that still bind me to sin. Only You can bring peace in the middle of my storm because You did it when crossing a lake in a boat with Your disciples. Because You endured so much in Your Passion, I know You understand the pain I feel in my struggles. Even though You released me from the power of sin, I am still struggling to achieve this new freedom. Sin is ever present and waiting for a moment when I am at my weakest so I will be drawn to its allure. I feel helpless without You standing with me and I’m disappointed in myself when I succumb to something I know is not of You. I need to feel Your presence in my times of temptation.

Deep within me write Your words upon my heart. In so doing, I will rely on them to give me ballast when evil temptations flood into my life. Give me the strength to overcome the things in my flesh that allow me to be lead away from You. If I stumble, help me up so I can begin my journey once again. Shine Your light into my life to help me see Your will and humble me so that I will want to follow the leading of the Holy Spirit. When I confess my sins, I feel refreshed as the Holy Spirit washes me in forgiveness and Your love. I need this refreshing as I undertake each day. I welcome the help of the Holy Spirit in leading me in Your ways so I can become an imitator of You. I set out each day to do the things that shine Your light into a world filled with darkness. With the strength that You provide, I feel the promise in Your words that tell me all things are possible if I believe.

In the darkness that fills the world, I sometimes lose my way and feel far from You. Even though I sense Your power is evading me, I know that it is always available if I will search for it. Your Word encourages me to “seek and I will find” therefore, the pulling from Your Word will always be there whenever circumstances try to steer me away from You. I know that I can never be lost because Your love will always find me. Your loving embrace tells me all I need to know about being a part of You. Scatter the darkness that surrounds me and show me the way to Your light, so I can find the path where Your words show me how to reach out to others for You. Show me the ways I am to display You in a way that will make others want to come to You. And create in me a joyful heart for all the things You’ve done for me. Life is not easy and that’s why I need You so much. And it’s in Jesus’ name I pray. AMEN!!

Hebrews 4:16 Let us then approach the throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need.
