Heavenly Father, I come before you in the most earnest way that I know how, asking for your divine guidance as I give myself 31 Days to be intentionally attentive to my spirit and begin to reverse the negative cycle that has plagued my life. I humbly thank You for the mercy and grace that You have shown me, and I thank You for Your son, Jesus Christ; for his dying on the cross for my sins, and for providing an example whereby I can pattern my own life. Please forgive me for the things I have thought, felt, said, and done that were contrary to Your will, and hear me, O’ God, as I make the desires of my heart known before Your throne. I know that You desire the absolute best for me at all times, and I know that you have set about a plan for me to walk in abundance and wholeness; so from this moment on, I relinquish my agenda for Yours. In so doing, please help me to see what I need to see, to hear what I need to hear, and to do what I need to do in order that I may be a blessing and not a hindrance to your divine will and purpose for my life. Romans 12:1 tells me that I am to present my entire existence as a “living and holy sacrifice” before You, because when I think of all that You have done for me, it is the very least that I can do. Please help me to remain anchored in that truth. Help me to realize with clarity that it isn’t just one specific thing that I must do to satisfy my purpose in Your will, but many things throughout my life; and as I walk a purposeful path, my dreams, wants, and desires will beautifully unfold before my eyes. With my whole heart I want to please You. Even though the world’s standard of what is right and wrong is forever changing, I know that your standard does not change; therefore, guide me by Your spirit and help me to recognize its guidance. Teach me through Your Word how to live holy, and how to be acceptable to You. Thank You for taking care of me all of my life, and for bringing me this opportunity to grow closer to You through Jesus Christ. I pray these things in his powerful and precious name. Amen.
