Lord God I come before You this morning seeking Your face and asking for guidance from the Holy Spirit. So often I find myself walking away from my commitments because I feel I don’t have the strength to persevere. There are so many things I want to do, but only one me. I have allowed myself to become overwhelmed in many ways, accepting more than I can handle and in turn making all areas of my life suffer. I can feel it in my entire life when my time with you takes a nosedive… when I let other things cloud my focus and preoccupy my time. Father please forgive me for not giving my all to my purpose in You - to turning away from where You are taking me in my selfish pursuance of my own desires.

Thank You for being a loving God and for providing for me and protecting me in spite of my imperfection. Lord, I thank You for choosing me to be a part of this day… I am so grateful for an unfinished purpose – for a reason to be in Your grace. So many are hurting today and I ask that You comfort them. My needs, you secure… my burdens, You carry… my pains, You take away… from my troubles, You rescue me. I ask not for myself today, but for all my brothers and sisters who are not yet sure they can lean on You. I pray that You lift them into Your arms and show them how amazing You love is. I stand before your throne in the name of Jesus. Amen.
