I Just Want to Thank You, Lord (3.18.18)

Before you begin, sit quietly before the Lord. Ask to be given a “willing spirit” — willing to repent, to change, to listen, to obey.
  -  Marilyn


Father God,
Thank You for the promise of Your Word, that those who hope in You, will renew their strength. You alone are the source of all strength, for You are the ruler of all things; and in Your Hands are the strength and power to exalt and give strength to me.

Strengthen me to stand firm, to stand for righteousness, to stand for Your kingdom! Like Daniel, may my life be characterized by integrity and “above-reproach conduct.” Even in the midst of injustice, may I be one who turns to You in worship and thanksgiving. May I always run toward You and not grow weary.
Empower me, I pray, to walk and not faint.

Help me to not fear or be dismayed, regardless of the situations that I am in, or the condition of the world around me — for You are GOD and You hold all things together.

Hold me together, I pray!
Strengthen me and help me.

Uphold me with Your righteous right hand and with power through Your Spirit in my inner being, so that Christ may dwell in my heart in all of His Fullness — in all His Fullness!

Have mercy on me, Father and help me to lean on You and find my strength in You alone for my spirit is willing but my flesh is so weak and I confess to You, Lord, the weakness of my faith and flesh . . . O Lord, have mercy!

Renew and strengthen my mind by Your Word!
Wash me Lord and cleanse me.
I will turn from a spirit of fear and trust in Your Name!

Increase my faith Lord.

Destroy doubt and unbelief in my heart and mind; and empower me to live boldly. May the sphere of influence in which You’ve planted in me, resonate with the praise of Your Name.  And may the imprint of Your Son, Jesus, be left on all that I touch. For Your Name and Your Ways are the desire of my heart.

In Your Son Jesus’ powerful Name, I pray.
Amen
