I was just looking through one of my journals from a couple months back. I wrote out a prayer that I prayed, after I prayed it, I never looked back on it until now. Glad I did, because I prayed it again today and wanted to share it. This is probably only the 3rd prayer I have shared publicly on this blog. It's a little personal, but my life's an open book, so here it is:
"God- I love you. I worship you. I think you. Thank you for my family, the weekend. Thank you for sobriety. Thank you for my job.
I need you!
I want you to have my life. Stir my heart in desperation for you. Keep my heart yearning for you, desiring you. Help me to never lose sight of you.
Please make my heart desperate for the things you are desperate for. Open the eyes of my heart to see & minister to the hurting.
Fill my soul w/ the love you have. Help me love people like you do. I need your love today. Move and shake my life anyway you want! Open my eyes, open my ears, open my mind, open my heart.
All that I have is yours, you have truly blessed me. Hold onto me and never let me go. Even when I am not nice, when I don't deserve to live, please see me for who I am, Your child.
God, all the things that hurt me late at night, all the thoughts of the past, take them away. Help me not forget where I have came from, but not to think on it to long. Take the bad desires away from me.
Help me to dislike the things you dislike, God, let me not be bound by anything!
I love you, let your will be done in my life.
God, today- blow my mind! Let me see just a glimpse of your love to people, grace, forgiveness, passion, justice, judgement, power, healing,awakening, salvation,strength. Amen!"
Thanks for reading.
