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. Ephesians 4:24 KJV tells us to take off the “old man” nature and Colossians 3:10 (NLT) tells us to”…clothed yourselves with a brand-new nature that is continually being renewed as you learn more and more about Christ, who created this new nature within you.” I ask, Dear Father, that You enlighten my understanding and help me to be prepared to acknowledge those things about myself that do not represent Christ. Allow some person to cross my path who will speak the truth to me in love, so that I can be renewed in my mind and heart….so that I can take off the remnant of my old ways and surrender them unto You. Then, Lord, remind me of my strength in Christ, so that I don’t fall back into my old routine. Please provide me with the resources to be encouraged and anchored in Your peace, and to accept Your love in my wounded places. I pray these things in the powerful and precious name of Jesus Christ. Amen. |
