May my prayer be set before You like incense…(Psalm 141:2 HCSB)

Today Lord…

I choose to serve You and lay down my life.

I love You and worship You with every breath that is in me.

Help me remember that You are good – all the time; in every circumstance.

When I don’t know where to turn or what to do, I choose You.

You are God; I am not.

Today Lord…

I give you my heart, my life, my family, and my deepest longings.

You know me better than I know myself.

You see my worries, fears, failures, and pride.

Forgive me for all the times I’ve clung to my sin instead of to You.

I surrender everything to You.

Today Lord…

Let my life positively impact those I meet.

Let them glimpse eternity in me.

Let my words, my actions, my silence, and my tone all point to Jesus.

The Hope of the world.

The Source of abundant life.

Today Lord…

I lay down my prejudices and my biases.

I release the notion that things have to go my way.

I don’t have Your perfect vantage point.

I am ignorant of how Your divine wisdom is beautifully at work.

I defer to Your omniscience.

Today Lord…

Take my brokenness and redeem it.

Use it in a way that brings You glory.

Help me see those who feel unseen and invisible.

Let me be a conduit of love.

Let me be a vessel of Your truth and grace.

Today Lord…

My life is a prayer.

I pour it out.

A living sacrifice.

Let it be acceptable to You.

Amen.

Until next time, Grace and Glory!
