Lord, help me...

Lord, help me begin each day, 

denying self,
surrendering to You,
living in the power of your sweet Holy Spirit.

Father, forgive me for any time I have,

diluted the gospel of Christ,
watered-down my theology of who You are,
cheapened the precious blood of Jesus.

God, you are my everything.

My life-giver.
My soul-satisfier.
My thirst-quencher.

My hearts desire is to be ever,

seeking your face,
expecting Your presence,
learning who You are.

I want to know You in the deepest,
most intimate relationship possible.

I do not want to possess a dead faith.
I desire to have a faith that produces good works.
Works that bring glory and honor and praise only to You.

I want to embrace your,

self-existence,
self-sufficiency,
self-dependence.

You are Creator of all.
You are breath and life.
Beginning and End.
Sweet Manna from heaven.
The Living Water.

And I adore You.

desiring to listen

"Listen carefully to Me, and eat what is good,
And let your soul delight itself in abundance"
(Isaiah 55:2b)

I desire to be a woman who listens to God.

Determined
Purposed

Seeking only Him.
Maintaining my focus.

Keeping my eyes and
my gaze locked on Him.
Willing my heart to beat in tandem with His.

Allowing Him to strengthen
and supply.

I draw fortification through the linking
of my eyes with His glorious countenance.

I feel the oneness of His ministering Spirit in
 the depths of  my needy soul.

Like a spring rain, He drenches me
in refreshing abundance.

Bestowing an extra measure of grace.
Sweet whispers of mercy.

A double portion of His mighty touch.

His presence cascades over me
like a mighty downpour.

And I overflow.

Puddles of blessings.
Splashes of glory.
Drops of His radiant splendor.

Determined
Purposed

I am seeking.

Oh, Lord, I am listening.
