Boots after week 1. Worth it.

Lord God.

Bring me to the mercy of Your heart. Rid my life of the trivialities of this world and bring me through the tribulations which lead me to Your will. Break me at the feet of Your throne, so that I may be lead in Your spirit and proclaim Your glory to the nations. Live through me so that I may bring much glory to Your name, not advancing my fame, but Yours.

God may You be the sole desire that exists within me. For I was dead in my spirit and Your mercy has awoken my flesh. You have spoke me into existence, not for my purposes, but for Your own. May I always seek Your desires, and not those which fill my heart with sin. The things of this world will not sustain me, they will never satisfy, only Your love God can do this, only You can bring the joy that will never perish.

May this vapor’s breath that I am given be unto Your glory. Rid me of my sinful desires, and bring justice to my life. Only then will Your righteousness fill me up, and I will be an instrument to advance Your kingdom.

How great You are my God. That You have forgiven the sinner, that you will rectify all that we have broken. For You are all that is good.

Lord God I pray for my lost brothers and sisters, that they may come to know Your glory. That they will see through the sin of this world and pursue Your glory on this earth.

Raise up this generation to be furious with passion for Your name. Rid our lives of the lies of this country. You will crush the leaders who lead us astray, may we not be swooned by their treasures which fade by a moments end. 

Forgive me God for the years You blessed that I have wasted. Countless days I have been conquered by sin, and yet You have rescued me, and brought me back to Your spirit willfully. Only by Your grace are we saved, and only for Your glory shall we live.

Thank You for Your son, Jesus Christ, who has come and saved all who will follow Him. Thank You for the mercy which none have deserved. Your love and justice are a glorious sight when sinners are freed from their bondage and restored to the glory in which You created them.

Seal us up into your promise, and let not the temptations of this world lead us away from Your presence. For in You God do we wish to dwell.

In Your son’s beautiful and Holy name I pray all of these things.

Amen.
