PRAYER EACH TODAY - AUGUST

[MajestyJo]

Dear God,

I am powerless and my life is unmanageable without your
help and guidance. I come to you today because I believe
that You can restore and anew me to meet my needs today.

Since I cannot manage my life and affairs, I have decided to
give them to You. I put my life, my will, my thoughts, my desires
and ambitions in Your hands.

I give You all of me: the good and the bad, the character defects
and shortcomings, my selfishness, resentments and problems.
I know that You will work them out in accordance with Your plan.

Such as I am, take and use me in Your service. Guide and direct
my ways and show me what to do for You. I cannot control or
change my friends or loved ones, so I release them into Your
care for Your loving hands to do with as You will. Just keep me
loving and free from judging them. If they need changing,
God You'll have to do it; I can't.

Just make me willing and ready to be of service to You, to have
my shortcomings removed, and to do my best. Help me to see
how I have harmed others and make me willing to make amends
to them all. Keep me ever mindful of thoughts and actions that
harm myself and others, and which separate me from Your light,
love and spirit. And when I commit these errors, make me aware
of them and help me to admit each one promptly.

I am seeking to know You better, to love You more. I am seeking
the knowledge of Your will for me and the power to carry it out.
Lord, teach me patience, and remind me that it is hard work, but
well worth the labor. Guide me in all I do to remember that
waiting is the answer to some of my prayers, and that when I
need You, You will be there to help me.

- - Amen
