Dear God,
I need you to blow in my life.
If you don't favor my work, it will not prosper. Settle my thoughts, give me direction and the tenacity to follow your leading. I struggle some days privately, just trying to fit it all in; to be your daughter, a wife, a mother, a missionary, a lover, a good citizen, my sister's keeper. Many times I have failed. Help me not to compromise the Faith, and yet be all things to all people. Your enemy is my enemy. Help me to hear you clearly, understand you deeply, and see you as clear as the donkey did in the book of Numbers (Num. 22) and saved the life of the prophet.
Help me, blow on me, ignite the fire in me, to bless you first, my family second, and all those that I encounter. Teach me how with simplicity, to carry my cross, and the Ministry of Christ, the light of salvation into dark places. Strengthen me for the journey that is my life, my purpose for which you have allowed me to live again this day.
Thank you Jesus for your sacrifice. The shedding of your blood, which soaks the platform on which I stand, I preach, I teach, I love, I fear, and even fall. When I fall on this platform, I am even more grateful for that blood which now I am drenched in, it covers me, protects me, washes me, atones for me and presents me faultless. I fight daily and bring my body and mind under your authority, and I am grateful for the power, in this your shed blood.
I surrender all of me to you, KNOWING that all of you loves all of me, and died for my liberation from sin.
Today, I discipline my body, my soul, and my spirit to be FitByFaith. I will love with your Love. I reach forward with my heart and both hands, dropping from my them people who have hurt and offended me, knowing that the Love in front of me is greater than the hurt behind me. So I love again, with all its vulnerability, strength, grace, comfort and the with same measure, that I want your love to meet me.
This prayer does not end. NOW I cast it towards your feet in heaven, and ask for you, again, to breathe, and blow on me, keep me, preserve me, until I rest in your presence in your arms.
Your Daughter,
Nikki.
