This Big, Beautiful Life

May you experience the love of Christ, though it is too great to understand fully. Then you will be made complete with all the fullness of life and power that comes from God.”

Say this prayer with me if you earnestly desire to live in God’s presence and develop more faith in Him.

Lord God, I seek Your face like I seek Your love. I’m giving You my all because I am not at peace without Your guidance. I invite Your Son, Jesus again into my heart and I am aware these words of praise lift Him higher. Take all of me Father because I want more of You. Your Son living in me is pleased to honor You. Let my heart grow more in awe of this Love that You have placed. Thank You. Thank You for this Love that breeds joy, peace, strength, confidence, wisdom, patience, purity, and faith. And thank You for bringing me back here to be one with You, my All in all. Father in Heaven, I ask for clarity to understand things that confuse me in this world. Help me to tell the difference between Your Truth and unrighteousness because I want to be that light who shines to reflect how beautiful and awesome You are. You have been so much for me. I exalt You. You know that I am not a person who receives everything readily when I read or hear Your Word, but You know that I want to be better in this journey. So come take over, allow Your work to transform my mind that I might be able to perceive what is pleasing and genuine as examples for applying my thoughts, my words, and my behavior around them. Show me Lord when I am at fault or tempted to sin, when I am more interested in myself and in my ways, and when I have swayed away from Your love and purpose. Father, remind me to count it joy when I am not at peace with myself so that I draw closer and learn again how to gain that peace by knowing You. Help me to count those times as blessings because they bring me out of myself and into You. Lord I want to keep maturing in Your Truth, and I ask that You help me to take what I learn to build others up for Your Kingdom. Empower me with wise words to speak love and encouragement into the hearts of those You also love. And let this be healing and uplifting for my soul as it is for them. Create in me a deep hunger to share You passionately with others, be it through personal encounters or the internet, let this desire keep growing as I mature. Please produce this eagerness in me to point others to You because I understand that my faith and growth depends on how well I make this about You. In Jesus name I pray, amen.
