Soldier of The Cross, you have decided to follow the Lord and obey Him in the taking up of The Cross.
The Holy Spirit will lead you in prayer, and your prayerful declaration of submission to Him will give Him the freedom to work in the deepest recesses of your heart.
You do not need to pray for trials. You do not need to pray to be broken nor do you need to pray for more divine correction. All of these things are privileges that are ours when we truly His.
It is wonderful to tell the Lord He can do anything with your life. There is nothing to fear, because we have His promises and we know what is important to Him.
Yes, pray to be made more like Him. Yes, pray to have the Word opened up to you. Yes, pray to be able to see what is really going on. Yes, pray to be made into one who loves with His Love. Pray to learn to lay up your treasure in Heaven. Pray to learn what it means to loose your life so you can find it.
Ask Him to make precious to you the things that are precious to Him.
Today.
Aloud.
