Following is a prayer I wrote for myself many years ago and I used to recite it mentally each morning before even getting out of bed. I've recently felt inspired to re-memorize it and begin using it again like I once did. I would have posted this yesterday, it being Easter Sunday, but, no... that's just what you'd have expected me to do.
.
Father, I present myself before You now with gratitude for the Perfect Sacrifice and Atonement of Your Sinless Son, Christ Yeshua. Blessed is He who comes in Your Name.
.
Almighty, Your Kingdom come. I seek to receive only what You provide for me. Not my will be done, but Your Will be done to me and through me.
.
I am Your creation. I am Your servant. I belong to You and You are my only God. I surrender my thoughts, words, and actions that I may be conformed to Your definition of a Son.
.
I pray that -- like Yeshua, our Holy King -- I will reflect Your Love on all of my brothers and sisters at all times by walking in Peace through the activity of Forgiveness.
.
Abba, I am willing to live to do good for people.
.
Yeshua, You have been given all authority in Heaven and on Earth. Please be my Good Shepherd, protect me, and show me The Way.
.
Hosanna!
