My Prayer

Renew me oh God, set my feet upon a right path.

Guide me by your holy spirit to the life only found in you.

Replace my sinful thoughts and mind with thoughts of You.

Help me to live devoted in all my ways to You.

Father I want to worship You with every action, word, thought and attitude.

I can only do this by Your grace and the power of your Holy Spirit.

Consume all my desire for worldly pursuits

Draw me into who You are that “I” may be lost

I lay myself and all that I represent before you as a sacrifice on an alter

Yet I know that even in giving myself I not even a worthy sacrifice

I am not spotless and without blemish, yet you said you desire for me.

I give what I am, in all of its awkwardness, sinfulness and waywardness

I give it all into the hands of You, my Creator and Sustainer

Wholly surrendered, that is how I must live in order to live

I cannot do it on my own, that is quite clear looking back

You can do it, that is clear looking back

By Your grace I am here, by Your grace only

Lord I don’t want to hinder Your moving in my life any longer

Today, take what I have so selfishly held back from You

Remove my selfish ambition and desires

Replace my heart with Yours
