What would you have me do today?  I thank you in all Your majesty! Your splendor! Power! Glory! Strength! Praise!  I exalt you today Lord.  You are worthy!  You are my Shepherd!

I will seek you first in the morning!  I am not my own, but I belong to You!  Use me for Your service.  Let your love operate fully in my heart.  I am in need of You daily.

I must surrender myself to You constantly as I am but of a sinful nature without You.  Don’t let my mind be my own or my ways be mine.  Rather, I give my will to you and I will do your will.

Wash me that you may find me presentable for use.  Purify me that I will not make you ashamed.  Here am I…send me.

I know You are with me.  Through distress, pain, disappointment, death, uncertainty, sickness, You are there Lord.  Let not my enemies even believe that they have defeated me.  Protect me with your mighty hand from those that seek to destroy me.  As I realize the strength and power that You give me, I will run to You for refuge.  I jump into your lap to rest from battle.  You renew me daily.

I feel Your power in me.  That keeps and protects me from evil.  Your power has healed the innermost pain and hurt of my heart.  You have wiped the tears of my soul away and given me peace beyond my understanding.

How could I have hurt so much and have been so troubled?  Now, I cannot find the pain.  Miraculously, You have hidden me in your safe place.  You heard me when I poured out my heart to You.  You exchanged my hurt, pain, distress, and doubt for something so sure, peaceful, joyful and powerful.  My face can smile again.  I am healed!; my soul can rejoice again as I am free.

The tears that roll down my face now are tears of joy!  You not only delivered me from my enemies, but you resurrected me.  You lifted me from death to my pain, hurt, distress.  You have given me new life.  I live again because of You!  Amen
