Prayer to God

 

O Lord:

            Search me, O Lord. Let me be ever mindful of my heart, that I may search it daily. Let me now drift far from You, gradually, as a result of subtle sin and compromise. Remind me by tugging my heart when my words fall short of life and inspiration to others.

            Help me, O Lord. Help me to seek You in all things, to raise my personal standards as acceptable in Your kingdom. Let my behaviors be acceptable in Your eyes and not misleading to others.

            Help me to get along well with others, to be sensitive to their feelings and their needs. Permit me to see directly into the hearts of others, to know their intentions and their needs.

            I will serve You, O Lord. I will focus on helping someone who demonstrates a hope for help. Help me not to trespass against the privacy of those who are not willing that I help them. Help them to establish the humility to accept help, and to open their heart to receive help.

            Our help is in Your name, O Lord. We need only to utter Your name, Jesus and with courage and without shame. In all I do, I lift up Your name, Jesus. In all I do, I worship You. I pray in Jesus’ name, amen.
