5:37 AM
Master… I want it to be about You today. I want to be a servant, a helper, like You are. I want to glorify the Father like You did, and You still do. You said the Father is glorified if I bear fruit in my life and ministry. I can't do that alone. I have no power or ability that doesn't come from You. Your Spirit in me must do the work, so help me be a servant-vessel through whom He is able to bless others.
Psalm 86
This psalm is a simple one…a fitting prayer for my life today, Lord. Please listen to me and answer me, Lord, for I am needy in spirit. I have nothing, and can do nothing without You. Isn't that poverty, Lord…to be without something? I am nothing without You. Poor without You. Powerless without You. Even if I'm committed to being Your servant(2), Lord, I am fruitless without Your protection, grace (3), joy (4), and strength (16).
Here’s what I desire of You, Lord. First, I will praise You with my heart…I want You to be praised today (12); second, I want You to be honored by my life somehow (13); but I ask You for an undivided mind!(11) Teach me YOUR ways and help me be loyal to the One I serve (who served me by going to the cross).
Show me a sign (17) of Your goodness, Lord -- in my life, yes, but in and through my church, too.
Help me to glorify the Father, today. I am second.~
