I am so tired of treating You like You are common when You are the Holy One...How is it that You haven't just wiped me off of the face of the earth? Great is Your mercy!

Lord, like Robert Robinson wrote in the classic hymn "Come Thou Fount of Every Blessing", I am prone to wander without any real rhyme or reason. I keep getting involved in civilian affairs when I have been adopted in Your royal family and commissioned in Your army...

May all that I think, say, and do spring forth out of the overflow of our love relationship. May everything in my life revolve around Jesus.

I am blown away and amazed by the truth that I am able to come boldly before Your holy presence because of the precious blood of Your Jesus.

Not one of us is worthy of anything or can do anything apart from You. You are the strength of our lives. We are nothing without You.

Impress it upon my heart what You would have for me to do. I am so tired of doing what I think, or feel is best. This leaves me overwhelmed.

(God) Bring me to the place where I want You and what You prioritize, and purpose more than I want Your blessings in my life.

God, You have invited me to sit at Your banqueting table. But it seems like I am only enjoying the scraps that fall from Your table...

Help me to live with a holy desperation. For I am nothing and can do nothing apart from You. You are the air that I breathe.

Even when I am overwhelmed with doubt, I am going to call to You for I know that You hear me and can lift me out of the depths of despair.

God, You have chosen to love me with an everlasting love. My life is not my own, my life belongs to You. More than anything else I need You!

I know that it is Your will for me to be conformed daily into the image of Christ. Yet You will not force me. You invite me to surrender.

You have not given me life to live some of it for You and most of it however I please... I will have to give an account to You for my life.

Jesus, my natural proclivity is to do me, as I give in to my desires and drift on the current of this world further and further from You.

God, I am so sorry for failing to live for You... I want to quit because I feel that I fail so much. I am so tired of breaking Your heart.

God, I have been apathetic and indifferent towards Jesus and Your Kingdom... I have been lulled to sleep... I need You to wake me up!

God, drain my heart of selfish ambition and vain conceit as You fill it with a desire to please You and bring You glory in everything.

God, You are the source of my strength & You are the strength of my life... Help me to trust You to fulfill Your purpose in and through me.

God, things of this world distract me from and leave me doubting You. Bring me to the place where my greatest desire is to know Christ.

Elijah was a man mightily used by God. Yet there was a time when his faith faltered. He is like me in this, that he desperately needed God.
