Psalm to the King
Lord, please use me for your Holy purpose.
Take my hands, and take my feet.
Take my life and use it as you will
Cause nothing belongs to me,
It’s all for you.
Lord, I am in awe of the things you’ve given me,
In complete and utter amazement at the works of your hand.
Please Lord continue to speak truths into my life
Let the morning rise each day and shine its glorious light unto your creation.
For I am amazed at the breathe of life you’ve given me.
Lord, let me remember who I am serving.
Let me never stop worshiping you.
Re-ignite my passion, and revive my vision.
Fuel me and spur me forwards all in the sustenance of the Holy Spirit.
I am complete in you Lord,
There is no-one else I’d rather be with.
Lord, let me not be distracted by earthly things,
Nor distracted by the beauty that you’ve created.
Recently, I feel like I’ve lost sight of where I’m supposed to be going
I know, I’ve taken two giant steps back from where I was heading.
It feels like I’ve almost forfeited everything that I’ve been trying to do.
It feels like I’ve fallen prey to the very thing I said I was not.
Lord,
Teach me to be humble,
Teach me humility
Teach me to turn my eyes heavenwards!
Teach me the cost of following you.
I can’t deny what I’ve been feeling,
And I can’t ignore what’s been happening this term.
But Lord, after re-reading my old journal entries,
It reminded me, really, just how great you are.
It reminded me of the intimate times,
Reminded me of the great joy, and providence.
Lord, let me not worry, or stress after anything
For it is all temporary,
Plus, I know you provide. So what’s stopping me?
Teach me to cast my fears upon you.
Teach me to drop my burdens,
Teach me to fully rely on you, Lord Jesus.
Lord may your name be exalted.
When I look at my prayer journal,
And see all the names I’m praying for,
Names that have yet to be writ into your book of life
I am encouraged to go out there with more zeal
To claim the lives that belong to you.
Lord,
May I never doubt the power of prayer.
Recently, it seems like that my prayers have all been rejected
But I do know that in your Word
It says that all who persist in prayer,
Will receive what is good from the Lord,
Which has already been given to the Holy Spirit.
Let me not look towards the negatives,
But always put my trust in the hope and the optimistic things.
Let me believe in the power of prayer
Let me believe in the power of the Holy Spirit.
Let me believe with all my heart in the absurd, and absolutely crazy God that is Sovereign.
For,
What did I do, do deserve this kind of Love?
What did I do, to steal away the heart of a giant.
What did I do, to have such a King?
For it is amazing,
Absolutely wonderful.
And mind boggling.
That out of everyone in this world,
You chose me.
Help me keep my eyes fixed upon you.
Help me achieve the things I’ve set aside for you.
Help me to never forget,
The everlasting God.
Hallelujah!
Hosanna!
This is my prayer to you.
This is my form of worship.
This is my earnest request.
This is my love.
