A Prayer I read last Night that I find Deep:
For all that this applies to, I found deep and could relate and also felt what I came across was very timely:
"May I Pray This Simple Prayer For You?
By T.D. Jakes
LOrd, I know that I have much to offer, but I need You to teach me when and how to use what You have given me. As I am placed in this ministry(Your Destined Greatness via Choice), please do not allow me to miss the point and confuse this issue. I want to receive everything that I am supposed to receive. Give me the grace to work quietly without being recognized. Give me the strength to use times that I am not serving, to sharpen my tools, increase my faith, and develop my patience.
Heal me from my fears of rejection. Save me from the scars that I carry from past circumstances. I want to serve You, and I am willing to submit. I release You to cut away from my heart those rough edges that others may find offensive so that my personality will not get in the way of my purpose. Thank You, Lord, for using me at all. You could have chosen anyone. I am humbled to be asked to serve. Help me not to disappoint You with my old ways.
In Jesus' Name, I pray. Amen!
