O Glorious King and Redeemer of My Soul, I want to be like You. Where there is hatred and division, I want to sow Your peace. Where there is injury and insult, I want to be a healing balm promoting forgiveness. Where there is doubt and worry, I want to be a conduit of faith and courage. Where there is darkness, I want to shine Your light into the lives of those who see no way out of their troubles. Where there is hopelessness and despair, I want to become a channel of hope and blessing. Where there is sadness, allow me to bring Your joy to strengthen those who are empty and forlorn. Where there is fear, use me to show that You are a place of safety and rest. Help me, O Lord, to not seek my own, but to comfort those who need comfort, understand the misunderstood and love the unlovable. I want to be used as an instrument of Your love.
I want to walk in Your light so that darkness has no place near me. In Your light, I can see things more clearly and fear and vain imaginations can no longer torment me. As I walk in Your light, I will be able to reflect it upon others. I want Your love to stir me so that I will not be afraid to seek out the lost and forsaken and share with them the awesomeness of belonging to You. Help me to understand Your purpose in my life and cause me to yearn to know You more intimately. In so doing, I will become a beacon on the top of a hill shining Your love into the lives of those who have lost their way. Give me a heart that is meek and tender … instill in me the courage to enter the good fight of faith against the enemy of my soul … and, place within me a new song so that I will be a spring of joy refreshing those around me. Give me a true compassion for the lost and hurting so I will be moved to bring to them Your comfort and love.
All glory to You, O Holy One, for You spoke and the world came into existence … in the passage of time, You spoke again and I was born. You are the one who keeps me from danger and harm and has brought me to a place of safety and rest. You speak the words of truth and I am set free. You are the Lamb who was sacrificed for my sins so that I might inherit eternal life. You guard and protect me from the Evil One throughout the day and night. You are the Cornerstone and Bridegroom of Your church and I pledge my fidelity to You alone. When You shine Your light into my life, darkness has no place in it. You are My Manna, sent down from Heaven to feed my soul and help me grow spiritually. You fill me with Your Wisdom to guide my life and help me find prosperity. Therefore, my greatest desire is to be more like You and be an instrument of Your love bringing hope and blessing the way You do. And it’s in Jesus’ name I pray. Amen!!
Romans 6:13 Do not offer the parts of your body to sin, as instruments of wickedness, but rather offer yourselves to God, as those who have been brought from death to life; and offer the parts of your body to Him as instruments of righteousness.
