Dear Lord,
Help me to have faith that You are in control of my life. Help me to recognize Satan’s attempts to sabotage my faith. Give me the strength to drive him out of my thoughts so my true focus can be on You. Let me live to serve You, oh Lord!
In Jesus Precious Name,
Amen
Have Thine own way Lord
Have Thine own way

Lord, this is all I truly want. For You to have Your will fulfilled in me. Whatever You want me to do, wherever You want me to go, I want only that. I am ready and willing to serve You, and I pray that You will use me to bring glory to Your great name. Help me to know my calling. To hear Your voice, and have no doubt. To have the strength and the grace to pick up my cross and follow You. These things I pray in Jesus Holy Name.
Amen
Dear Lord,
Please help me to put away the troubles of the day, so I may rejoice in You with the fullness of my heart. Help me put You foremost in my thoughts, so I may draw ever closer to You. This I pray dear Lord, so I may feel You in the flutter of my soul.
In Jesus Holy Name,
Amen
