Father, in Jesus' name, You are my God and King. You are wonderful and worthy, holy and honorable, great and greatly to be praised. There is no one like You, none that infinitely comes close. You are awesome and Almighty. You are altogether lovely. You are magnificent and majestic, merciful and mighty. Help me to be still and know that You are God. Help my soul to be silent in Your holy presence.
Forgive me for allowing ministry to distract me from You. Forgive me for listening to and believing the lies of the enemy instead of listening to and believing Your truth. Forgive me for looking at myself rather than You. For focusing on my inability to glorify Your name, build Your Kingdom, and do Your will rather than Your ability to do everything that You have purposed. For there is nothing too hard or impossible for You.
You are the only One who is truly needed and necessary. You are the only One who can say I AM WHO I AM. Everything You need to be, You are. You do not need anyone or anything besides who You are. You are the self-existing and self-sufficient One. I am because You are. You created me. You hold me together. You redeemed me. You are the source of my strength and the strength of my life. You enable me to do all things through Jesus Christ who gives me strength. Everything that I need to glorify Your name, build Your Kingdom, and do Your will is found in You.
Show me the things that You are calling me to lay down to wholeheartedly walk with You. May I experience deeper and richer intimacy with You in the days that You have yet allotted me here on earth. May all that I do spring forth out of the love relationship that we enjoy with one another. Make me a God chaser who delights myself in You. Thank You for granting me an undivided heart and teaching me to fear Your holy name. Help me to be fully committed to You so that You may show Yourself strong on my behalf.
God, make me a man who knows You intimately. Do not let me shrink back from following You in fear but to be strong and courageous. Because You are with me wherever I go. Help me to trust You with all of my heart and to not depend on what I can understand. In everything may I acknowledge You as You direct me in the way that You want me to go. Grant me success in doing Your will. Thank You for favor and divine protection from the schemes of the enemy. Manifest Your presence, pour out Your Spirit, loose Your Word, and reveal Jesus to others as I exercise the spiritual gifts that You have given me.
Jesus, call me out of the boat to walk on water. Help me to fix my eyes on You and not be distracted by the rain, wind, waves, and the nay sayers who are telling me to stay in the boat. Help me to take steps of faith on the water to You. May I be one that You can use to carry Your presence and Word to others. Thank You for freeing me from the things that once held me and anointing me by Your Spirit to do so. Enlarge my capacity and increase my territory to take the good news of Your Kingdom to more people than I ever imagined possible. In Jesus' name, Amen!!!
