DEAR GOD of my creation,
Here is a prayer for Your worship, for my humility, to express
my penitent joys, and to meet the desires of your Being; You’re the grace of
infinite pardons, but You don’t leave me where I’m at.
ADORATION
You, who surrounds me with life and love, who enters life with
me, who doesn’t ever leave me nor forsake me; I am in awe of who You are and
for what You’ve done. You’re worthy of
the highest imagined and manifold praise on the scaffold of Truth.
CONFESSION
Before You, O God, I suffer the indignity of being without my
peace, because again I have not trusted You more completely than I should. I confess not simply my sin; I also confess
my need of You; that in my turning back
toward You, that You’d make me warrant the blessings I so often in life
receive.
THANKSGIVING
From a time of adoration comes a time of thanksgiving, and
today, Lord, I give You my hope,
in the unadorned thanks of a Prodigal who comes home sheepishly, yet is met
warmly. Ever more am I to be thankful,
especially when I’m so involved in life that I add a sense of entitlement to it
that ought always to be swiftfully repented of.
SUPPLICATION
Be mine as I’m Yours, too, Lord.
Complete me as You protect me.
Purge me of my fearful ways, and help me accept that I am, ever and
always, where I should be. Give me the
grace to deal with what troubles me. Now
that I’m grateful, help me to stay that way.
Help me understand the beauty in every experience. And help me to know Your teaching, and the
appropriateness for my time in the lessons set before me.
I believe in the Power and in the name of Jesus.
It’s in His name I pray,
AMEN.
