My Prayer

The Lord gave this to me during the music portion of a worship service. I felt a little odd sitting to write when everyone else was standing, but I felt compelled to put down the words racing through my mind.

A Prayer

You draw me, Father, gently, lovingly to your side. I have no one but You. You only are my friend, my strength, my refuge, my shield. Fill me with your Spirit, moment by moment, that I may rest and rely on You. Quiet my thoughts that I may hear You as You speak to me. You, Lord, shower blessing on me. You encourage me. You convict and instruct me. You love with a never ending love. You lead me, step by step, to a relationship with You. Holy Spirit, teach me of You. Lord Jesus, mighty King, Savior of my soul, cleanse me of unrighteousness and sin. As the psalmist said -- Create in me a pure heart. Let me hear You. My Shepherd, call me, lead me to green pastures and beside still waters. Oh, Father, my God, may I hear You, obey You, worship You, praise You, honor You. Lord, may I sit at your feet and learn of You. Do not let me be so busy, even in service to You, that I reject time with You. Let me concentrate on You, Lord, and on Your Word. You are more important; You are vital to life. All else -- church, family, friends -- are nothing without you and your Holy Spirit. I give my all to You: all that I am, all that I have, all that I hope. Only in You is there promise of wholeness. Let me build a relationship with Jesus, all else will fall into place. Thank You for once again reminding me of your love, mercy and grace.
