"How can I stand here with you, and not be moved by You..." - Lifehouse
How quickly I forget the brilliant beauty of Christ's sacrifice on the cross amidst the raging storms of life. Oh to cast off the finite perspective of the flesh and proclaim to my Creator, "You're all I want, You're all I need!" Everything this side of eternity is insignificant compared to the eternal glory of our Father, and I want to feel a burning desperation for His holy love to saturate my soul. God, I am a selfish and wicked sinner saved only by Your sanctifying grace through Your FREE gift of faith in Your son Jesus; let Your gospel be a FIRE in my bones that cannot remained contained! Align my will, heart, and perspective to Yours. Let not my eyes focus on the circumstance surrounding me, but You, the "Living God in control of all my circumstances" (Spurgeon). Guide me into greater knowledge of Your Truth and the wisdom to apply it, and enable the greater knowledge in You to cultivate greater belief and greater trust in Your righteous sovereignty over my life. I am Yours, You bought me with a price, and I give myself to You.
Our Father in heaven, hallowed be Your name.
Your kingdom come, Your will be done, on earth, as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread,
and forgive us our debts as we have forgiven our debtors.
And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.
For Yours is the kingdom, the power, and the glory forever.
Amen.
