My Prayer

Therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, 

put on tender mercies, kindness, 

humility, meekness, longsuffering; 

bearing with one another, and forgiving one another, 

if anyone has a complaint against another; 

even as Christ forgave you, so you also must do. 

But above all these things put on love, 

which is the bond of perfection. 

 And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, 

to which also you were called in one body; 

and be thankful! 

Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom, 

teaching and admonishing one another 

in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, 

singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.  

And whatever you do in word or deed, 

do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, 

giving thanks to God the Father through Him.

(Colossians 3:12-17)

This is my prayer! Lord Your word is so beautiful to behold! So perfect and true...cause me to live it out! Lord my desire is to honor You in every area of my life...but You take me as I am and You slowly, gently and lovingly prune me and make me new. God I am wicked and sinful and You are lovely and perfect! Lord I will never understand why You waste time with someone as wretched as me!

Lead me into Your will and help me to cast away anything that would cause me to think or be anything less than what You've willed for my life. My mind see's the physical...I am so weak and marred. Open my eyes to see what You see in me. You see me through Jesus' blood...His sacrifice makes me 'Your elect, Holy and beloved!' I need Your love to be healed and to be whole! I am nothing without You my God!
