No One Like You

O Lord, there is no one like you.
You speak and the heavens fall into place,
each word you speak is life itself.

There are no other gods.
My puny mind cannot grasp all you are,
But I know you are real.

May your Spirit take my spirit captive.
My He rule my body, mind, and soul.
I submit control!

Lead me in the right path.
Guide my steps.
I will follow you on this journey.

Help me grow in relationship with you.
Help me move from a babe in arms,
To brother and friend.

You call us to yourself.
The creator who walks with his creation.
There is no one like you.

Rain

O Lord, soak me in your heavenly rain.
Let every fiber of my being be drenched in your love and mercy.
Let the power of your presence satisfy my soul like the morning dew.
Wash me your cleansing stream.
My my sin be wiped away like a flood in the desert.
My my thirst be satisfied by your living water.
My you sooth my troubled soul with your healing fountain.
My you overwhelm me like a waterfall.

Waiting

Jesus, it is difficult to wait.
I'm not built for waiting.
Spontaneous, impetuous best describe me.
Teach me to wait.

I would sit at your feet.
I would wait in your presence.
I would listen for your words.
Help me know your voice.

Help me recognize your whisper.
May I joy in your laughter.
May I be silent in your discipline.
May I grasp your words of life.

Your words are strength for the day.
Your touch is courage for the moment.
Your presence is protection from the circumstance.
Your silence is the power of friendship.

buried alive

Lord I have been buried alive,
Selfishness, self-doubt, self-pity
Self-absorption, and self-centeredness
Have buried me alive.
I am dead.

But You are my resurrection.
You are my Life.
Breath into me you breath.
And I will live.

Selflessness because you are my provision.
Self-assurance because you are my strength.
Others centered because you care for me.

You are the drink to quench my thirst
You are the food to feed my soul.

I live.

Your Word

O lord let me learn in silence
Let me hear your word,
May you speak the living word.
Change my mind, change my heart
Renew me, restore me, remind me.

Steel my will to walk in obedience.
May my heart be at peace in following your word.
Let my mind grasp the power of your word.
Your word brings life to my being.
Without your word there is only existence.

Speak and I will listen.
Lead and I will follow.
Rest and I will be still.

Fasting

O lord teach me how to fast.
Not just the giving up of something
but the giving of something.
Not just a spiritual exercise of worship to know you better
and gather to myself some great spiritual prowess
But the living out of your love and purpose
To change a persons life not just the soul's destination.
Teach me lord, teach me.

Take Control

O Lord, my human nature tells me to take control.
to say things that curry favor,
to do things that ingratiate myself to others,
to make sure others know what I can do,
to protect myself, take care of myself,
promote myself, trust only myself.

O Lord, You are in control.
You are the one I will trust.
You promote
You watch over and protect your children.
The words I speak should only flow from your love.

O Lord, may your nature take over my nature.
I surrender to you. Take control.
