Set Me Free

O Lord, set me free,
Free from  the  inglorious.
Free from the inconsequential.
Free from inconsistent.

Free from selfishness.
Free from self-assurance.
Free from self-centeredness.

Set me free from all that distracts,
Set me free from all that detracts,
Set me free from all that defeats.

Set me free to be an encourager,
Set me free to be a promoter,
Set me free to be a motivator.


Set me free for your purpose.
Set me free to follow your passions.
Set me free, your life to practice .


Set me free to sacrifice for you.
Set me free to suffer for you.
Set me free to be sustained by you.

Set me free to walk in you way.
Set me free to grow in your word.
Set me free to live in worship.

Circumstancial Evidence

Jesus,
Help me understand
The path of least resistance.
It may not be the right way.

When things are going well,
And all doors fly open,
You may not be there.

Help me see that opposition,
And difficult situations
May not be suffering for you.

When oppression comes
And everything is contrary,
It may not be your discipline.

Show me that circumstance
Good or bad
Are always on the path.

My faith and trust
are in you my Friend,
Not circumstantial evidence.
