Change me


Lord, I’m so grateful for your love that just keeps pouring out whether I’ve deserved it or not.  This certainly isn’t one of those moments when I might think I’ve earned your love or blessings.  This is the time when I just fall at your feet and ask for mercy. 
Help me.  Change me.  This is not who I want to be.  Lord, I’m asking you to go to the very core of my being – body, soul and spirit – and change me.  Help me to yield to your working and shaping me.  Help me not to resist your correction. 
Renew my mind, Lord.  I “take captive” every thought and subject each one of them to your approval. 
Help me to stay so close to you that I become absorbed in your presence. 
I draw upon all of the benefits of our covenant of salvation.  Forgive my sins.  Strengthen these places where I am so weak.  Be the author of the desires of my heart, Lord.  Birth in me a resolve to do only what pleases you.
Give me the discernment to know when I should take authority over the enemy, and when I should take authority over my flesh.  Be my deliverer in both, Lord.  Set me free.
