Father I know I have need of You
I know that I have only been characterized by failure, clumsiness, and offense (offenses of omission as well as commission)
Father I know I need You
and Father I thank You for the gift of Jesus Christ, Whom I hereby acknowledge as my Lord and Savior
I ask You, to take over my life
I ask You, not only for His redemption but also for His lordship
and I ask You right now Father, to give me through Your supernatural Holy Spirit, the strength, the resolve, and all that it takes from this day forward to walk not by power nor by might but by Your Holy Spirit
That through Your Holy Spirit You would instruct me for all of those things that I don’t understand
and yet Father I thank You for the gift of that understanding as You choose to reveal it to me
I ask all these things Father, that I indeed might be hereby part of Your forever family in Jesus Christ
Amen
