Thy will be done
Our God, self is a subtle thief—the avenue by which sin and neglect of the Spirit drains time, resources, and sadly, Your children, away from You in compromise and self-seeking.
Awareness of my faults and failures makes me doubt that You can use me for Your loving purposes. Through such doubt, I can frustrate Your desires in me and cheat others of unique graces You intend for them through me. My humanity with its gifts, can steal me from You.
Yet, our God, You chose to use for Your Son ‘frail human flesh’ to obtain our fallen nature’s redemption. You watched Him laugh and weep, eat and walk with sinners and with ordinary people as He taught Your love and will. You saw Him touch and heal disease and sin…resist temptation that His humanness gave Him…and achieve submission and faith even in abandonment and death.
Through Jesus, You therefore give me confidence to ask You to hold me always in Your presence and in Your love and service through all the vicissitudes of my life. You give me courage to know that when I ask You to use me to the fullest extent of Your will, it is not pride, but humility—for I am nothing in myself, but in You, all is possible.
Leave me not simply in this knowledge, our God, but for sake of others, whom You created me to serve, please continually love through me. Let me discern the difference between my interpretation and Your will itself, so that Your perspectives become mine and I welcome your will for others and for me with humility and peace.
Hold me always in Your arms and keep my eyes on Your Face. Bathe me continually in Jesus’ blood and fill me with His life. Thereby, You may be glorified and shown to Your people that they may be drawn closer for the fact that You have given me existence and faith.
Thank You, God, because by Your Love You will accomplish these, unworthy though I am
