Over a
lifetime I have thrown many prayers God’s way. Some are biblically blueprinted
and humbly lifted. Others are selfishly
constructed with no chance of success, being offered without needed cleansing
and yieldedness. Prayer should always be bathed in scripturally formed
expectation, genuine surrender and offered with commitment to change. Father in
Heaven, I cannot pray without Your guidance and help. Open Your Word and Spirit
to my heart afresh. Lift the heavy fog of sin from my soul that I may approach
You in truth and light. Lord, hear my prayer.
A serious pursuit of godliness requires an equally serious renunciation of worldliness. Too often, we measure spirituality with false scales. While being wisely selective with our public vices we are less so with our private attitudes and perspectives. In reality, it is the thoughts and intents of the heart where the greatest battles must be waged; our actions will ultimately align with the condition of our hearts. Lord God, You know me inside out, You are not fooled by human facades. Plow my heart with Your Word and Spirit and leave nothing unturned. Refresh my inward man that I may outwardly glorify You in all places at all times.
