Hey God-
It is evening. Morning really, but everyone is asleep... so it would seem it fits in the evening category better. In just a couple hours, Bobby, Mat and I will be on our way to the airport.
a prayer
---
"God, open my heart to You please. Close my heart to selfishness and evil. Conform my heart to Yours, Lord.
"God, open my mind to You please. Close my mind to control and trying to prove myself enough. Please give me a hunger for Your truth.
"God, open my way to Your way please-- help me to walk on Your path everywhere I am and to walk in the Godly confidence of humility You call Your children to. We are Your representatives and even Your friends!
"God, fill my mouth with Your words of life please-- help me speak to honor You. Please fill my mouth with praise, trust, love, truth and gratitude that just has to come out. Please help people hear You, and know it is You, not Ginny's words. Please keep pride far from me. Please give me teaching words according to Your will. God, please put pressure on me when You want me to say something- I want to obey, sometimes I need a push!
"God, help me listen to honor You please. Help me listen to others- what they really are saying-- and to Your voice, o God.
"God, please give me fear of God and respect for Your Word. You are the Great I AM. Help me know which way is the way of obedience when I have choices. God, PLEASE convict me of sin when I sin and grant me the courage and grace if You will to lovingly correct others when they sin.
"God, open my eyes to You please-- help me to see You, Your beauty, Your character, Your majesty, Your faithfulness, Your direction, where You are moving and where You want to move.
"God, I long to be like Mary, mother of Jesus, who humbly accepted the task of raising the Son of God; and like Mary, the servant who sat at Your feet. I long to be like Deborah who lead with wisdom, and like Abigail, who courageously took action to save lives and who loved her God. I long to be like Ruth, who loved so much. I long to be like You. Lord, please take me as Yours this coming week and for all my days. You reign."
Praise You. In Jesus' name. Love You. Thank You for so much
Amen
