Prayers
Knowing my walls are continually before Thee, in these truths will I glory: Surely mine is the Promised Land, for my name is inscribed upon Your hand. No weapon formed against me shall prosper, for by Your blood I am more than a conqueror. Whether chastening comes as a result of my sin – or for weaning me from the world and drawing me in, I surrender all to You, O righteous and faithful Lord – resting in Your ways and trusting only Your Word.
O’ the bliss of this thought – that the floods and fires that You send my way, serve only to refine and mold me, preparing me for that Day! By grace You call me chosen, predestined for salvation and glory; complete this good work You began, that all the world may know Your story. Keep me, preserve me, unite my heart to fear Thy Name – that all I am would bring You glory and testify of Your great fame!
The delights I find in You have no measure. Your beauty I love and Your glory I treasure! So grant my heart’s desire Lord! Purge me from all hypocrisy and pride –the fear of man and from my sins the bent to hide. Pour upon me the oil of intimacy; unveil to me Your glory and face; burn me with Your holy fire that Your fullness I may embrace! Before You my soul I lay open and bare; I worship You in spirit and truth, resting in Your loving care.
Lord, as I make my way through this wilderness, teach me to enter Your rest – to trust Your wisdom and having faith that Your plan is always best. Forbid that I light my own fires or plot ways to move forward without Your presence and command; rather, let me wait on You - seek You- and in Your strength stand. For to me Your will is supreme; it is my food and my delight! So teach me to keep in step with Your Spirit, fulfilling all Your good pleasure and thus all the more reflect Your light! I must become less – You must become more; fill up all empty spaces – consume me down to the core! Your brightly burning lamp Lord, I will be! Anoint me with Your Spirit and live Your life through me: to extinguish the darkness and set the prisoners free; with boldness and power to preach the Gospel to all mankind; through my hands restore sight to the blind. Through me Lord, comfort all who mourn – exchange beauty for ashes and pour on them the oil of gladness; Cloak the despairing with garments of praise, that in You their hearts may glory and heads be raised! Raise up oaks of righteousness, the plantings of Your hand – that they too may reflect Your glory and in your strength stand!
O’ great Shepherd of the sheep – before all nations let Your righteousness and praise spring up – like the dawn let it shine. Bring in Your lost sheep from tongue, tribe and nation, that in You, joy, peace and purity they may find! Bring back the prodigals; restore the family, and the hearts of the fathers to their children turn; to Your people grant godly sorrow, that our land You may heal and for Your glory our hearts burn! Rend the heavens and come down Lord – from above let signs and wonders fall; may the nations be glad and sing for joy – for Your glorious Name we extol!
Thank You Father that all I ask for I shall receive – for I abide in You and Your words abide in me. To this may Your Spirit give birth: Your Kingdom come, Your will be done, as it is in heaven, let it be on earth! This is for Your glory and Your good pleasure – come Holy Spirit, come without measure!
