Prayer For Simplicity
Father, I want to know Thee, but my cowardly heart fears to give up its toys. I cannot part with them without inward bleeding, and I do not try to hide from Thee the terror of the parting. I come trembling, but I do come. Please root from my heart all those things which I have cherished so long and which have become a very part of my living self, so that Thou mayest enter and dwell there without a rival. Then shalt Thou make the place of Thy feet glorious. Then shall my heart have no need of the sun to shine in it, for Thyself wilt be the light of it, and there shall be no night there. In Jesus' name, Amen.
Dear Father, thank you for being everywhere. Thank you for never leaving me to journey alone. Teach me to live in awe of You so that I do not willfully sin. Keep my heart at peace so that I may find comfort in Your presence. Amen.
Thank you, God, for showing me Your awesome power. From day to day, I stand in awe at all You are, at all that You do. May I trust in Your power to give me strength for all I will face today. Amen.
Dear Lord, today may I be a faithful light that points the way to You, the true light of the world. Amen.
Dear Heavenly Father, thank you for being good and for blessing my life with good. Even when bad things happen, I know that You are good and You do good. I cling to You, and pray that You will continue to perform in me that which is good, for Your glory. Amen.
Dear God, I thank you that You are able to do much, much more than I can even ask or think. I rest in Your power, and as I yield to Your will, I know You will work in me what You desire. Amen.
Heavenly Father, I give to You all the problems and cares I face. Take complete control, just as You do of the ocean. And send me a great calm. Amen.
Dear Heavenly Father, help me to be grateful for what I have, to remember that I don't need most of what I want, and that joy is found in simplicity and generosity. Amen.
