My Prayer

Teach me, Lord, to walk in obedience to Your will. In a world filled with distractions and temptations, keep my feet firmly on the path You have set before me. Grant me the wisdom to discern Your voice and the courage to follow, even when the way is challenging or unclear.

Fill my heart with a love for You that overflows, influencing all that I am and all that I do. May this love not just be a feeling, but a driving force that compels me to serve, to give, and to forgive. Help me to love You with all my heart and soul, reflecting Your love in my treatment of others and in my stewardship of the life You have given me.

Lord, I desire to serve You wholeheartedly. Show me the opportunities to serve in Your kingdom, to be Your hands and feet in this world. May my service be a reflection of my love for You, carried out with joy and humility.

Father, this journey is not always easy, and I confess that sometimes my heart and my steps wander. In Your mercy, draw me back to You. Renew my spirit and strengthen my resolve to live a life that honors You in all things.

Thank You, Lord, for Your patience, Your guidance, and Your unending love. May my life be a continuous offering to You, a living prayer that glorifies Your name.

In Jesus’ name, I pray, Amen.
