Lord, as I stand before you tonight. I agree with you by faith.
I agree with you that I know so little and that I must learn to lean.
Lord, it seems like so much is wrong. My children. My finances. My marriage. The local assembly is rupturing. My body is decaying.
I want to be real.
Lord, I want to learn to follow you through the minutes and the hours. I want to unlearn the habits of the flesh and go after you hard and fast.
I seem to fail so often. I get distracted by the regime of the schedule and oh Lord, I wan to be changed. I want to learn to listen to you and to set aside the things that interfere so I can hear clearly. I long to obey and to be used.
Lord, please do what ever is needed to keep me from unuseful habit. I want to serve and honor you, but I feel so tiny.
As I stand before you tonight, I ask that your Word would penetrate more deeply, that you would lead me in prayer beyond my human limitations and that you would do whatever is needed to make me like you.
I know it might be painful to the flesh, but more than anything, I want to be obedient and to agree with you.
My Lord and my God.
