My 2006 Daily Prayer
Filed under: Life's Journey
I've been "writing" this prayer for several weeks after finishing Brennan Manning's book, Ruthless Trust. This prayer is a culmination of thoughts, prayers, and writings I've collected from various sources.
Dear Lord, help me TODAY as I…
- Pursue opportunities to spend time with people who want relationship (horizontal and vertical)
- Cultivate a relationship with Jamaica that deals with real things
- Determine what I can eliminate from my to-do list
- Fail faster so I can succeed sooner
- Align my calendar/agenda to reflect who I really am
- Remove hurdles for my team to succeed
- Remember to encourage and thank people
- Allow prayer to accompany every decision
- Ask, “Is this sustainable?”
- Express gratefulness, the foremost quality of a trusting disciple
- Allow my appetite for infinity to disturb my complacency
- Hear the music of the moment, only heard right here and now
- Learn to discern between the "Father’s business" and human "busy-ness"
- Learn to discern between matters that require simple, faith-filled prayer and those that require extended fasting/warfare
- Learn to rest and relax
Abba, I surrender my will and my life to you today, without reservation and with humble confidence, for you are my loving Father. Set me free from self-consciousness, from anxiety about tomorrow, and from the tyranny of the approval and disapproval of others, that I may find joy and delight simply and solely in pleasing you. May my inner freedom be a compelling sign of your presence, your peace, your power, and your love. Let your plan for my life gracefully unfold one day at a time. I love you with all my heart, and I place all my confidence in you, for you are my Abba. Jesus, I trust you.
