Lord, as I stand before you tonight I thank you that you alone are perfect. While I am deeply thankful for my Brothers and Sisters in Christ, I look to you to alone lead me.
I want to be able to hear you through anyone or anything, but is you alone I want to hear.
Teach me to bend away from the opinions of others and to walk in obedience no matter what.
Thank you for age. Thank you for experience. But oh Lord, please change me, and do whatever is needed in the deepest parts of me in order to bring about your own likeness.
In prayer, I turn from listening to negativity and I turn from applause.
My Lord and my God.
