Father I pray that you will forgive my self-interests and remove all sin in me.

You are perfect and good; always forgiving when I confess; always providing your cleansing mercy.

Please accept the surrender of my spirit to your nature, as I plead to you to change and shape my thoughts, words and actions.

As you grant me life today, my desire is to honor, obey and yield to your leading.

Guard me from the cares of this world that attempt to steal me away from your gift of life through dependence on you.  When I deny myself in obedience you become my true strength.

As I struggle with life’s difficulties and obstacles; persist in disciplining me from selfish pursuits.  Continue to relieve, refresh, and reclaim me from the demands and evils of this world; less of me and more of you.

The more I pray and grow, the more I require your grace.  Your gift of life inspires complete dependence and communion to live by the spirit you placed within me.

You have bought me with the your priceless sacrifice on the cross—you are glorified as I enter into any sacrifice or suffering for your names sake.

I place my weak self-centered nature under your authority and cling to your command each day by:

Denying my selfish sin, picking up the cross you have for me, and be made alive in Christ.
