A Prayer
You have made me exactly how you want me to be. You created all of my silly idiosyncrasies. They aren’t random – You designed them for a purpose. I might not know why, but that’s OK. You don’t need to reveal Your plan to me. I’m learning to be content with knowing You are mapping out my life for me. I’m confident you can do a much better job than I can. I praise you with my every breath. Oh LORD! Only you are enough to satisfy this soul!
Your amazing grace, constant love and never-ceasing companionship astound me! I’ve done nothing to deserve it. I would not be where I am today if not for You. You were with me when I was confused. When I was lonley, you never left my side. In this season of joy, You celebrate with me!
My God! Don’t let me become complacent in my faith. I want to continue to grow to become more like you! Bring more people into my life who will hold me accountable! It’s so easy to some up with stupid excuses – Let them see through my facade. I’m not always smiling on the inside – You know that.
In the same way, LORD, make me an encourager to those around me. I want to lift people up and help them growl May I never be one that tears people down! I want to learn how to confront people in love, then gently lead them to restoration!
May you be at the center of all I do! I don’t want to take my eyes off of you, lest I lose sight of my (Your) way!
It’s wonderful to see God’s fingerprint on your life.
