Prayer to God

 

            Change my heart, O God. Lower me to a base state that You can be exalted. Work with me and through me. Kindle Your fire hot, O Lord and skim off from me the dross of all impurity. Don’t forget me in Your fire that I be not utterly cast off forever.

            I am Thine O Lord. Polish me as a gem of priceless worth. Though I am but a small chunk from off the face of the earth, Thou hast carved me and put a shine upon my face.

            Should I fall upon my face, O Lord, let it be to humble me, but let not the company of the enemy mock me to scorn. The wicked will cease their troubling. I will rest at Your feet, O God, as You cover me with Your feathered wing.

            You make Your light to shine upon me – I open my eyes. I fall to my face. I open my heart to You fully. Your light shines through me. Your lively light searches all my being to prove me. Light is cast from my every extremity. With it go all the dark places. All the smallest secret impurity is cleansed from within me.

            You are the lamp unto my feet. You are the light unto my path. If my way is not Your way, then Lord make my crooked way straight and my rough places plain.

            I am Thine, O Lord. I am Thine to do with what Thou wilt. I surrender all. I pray in Jesus’ name, amen.
