Dear
God,
I thank you and praise you for the gift of your Son,
Jesus to save us from all of our imperfections. I praise
you for growing us with knowledge and wisdom and that
you protect us from ourselves when we seek your guidance
in everything that we do.
I
thank you that you have given us your Word to guide us...bodily
in the form of your Son, Jesus and in the text of the Bible
for us to study and learn and use for an instruction manual.
Dear
God, even when the Bible seems to be saying to do
what would appear
wrong in
the realm
of this
world and
what common
sense seems
to dictate
I ask
for your
guidance and
intervention to
show me
what your
will is
so that
all that
I do will
be pleasing
to you.
Lord,
discernment of your will is so hard for those who
are new in their salvation, so please come with strong
signs and an easily understood message. Lord, when
you come to dwell in those who are mature in the Lord
help them to recognize your will and remind them that
you are God and that they knew what it was to do things
under their own power and they know the difference
when they let you take control of every aspect of
their life and remain in submission to you.
Lord,
make it easy for those who must forgive to let go
of their anger and become filled with the heart that
Jesus has for sinners. In the Precious Name of Jesus
we pray....AMEN
