God,
Sometimes i have trouble praying. Sometimes I have a hard time making time for you. Help me to desire you more. Help me to love you more. Help me to receive from you more. You are my strength. You are my joy. You are my God. I long to know you more. I long to be in the fullness of your presence. I long to hear your voice. Father pick me up when i fall down. Strengthen me when i am weak. Grab my heart when it gets distracted. Help me to see people the way you see them. Help me to live by your Word. Help me to proclaim Jesus to everyone I meet. I pray that you would reign first and foremost in my life. Help me to be faithful in ministry, in my  school work, in my health, and in my relationships. Help me to use my time wisely. Help me to be there for others. Help me to live with purpose and servitude. God help me to wait upon you. Help me to sit in silence and feel your heartbeat. Grant me the discipline and strength to accomplish what you desire. Protect me from evil, shield me from lust, humble my pride. Tear down my walls and break down my idols so I can worship you full heartily. I thank you that your grace overcomes my sin. Help me to run the race for the prize and treasure you as my reward. Transform me into your likeness. Transform my heart, mind and will. May I stand for your truth and live with your righteousness. I desire to be pure and holy as you are holy. I desire to abide in you. May you be the center of my life. Give me a heart for my family and friends. Help me to love those who are hard to love. Help me pray for those who are in need of you. Take my heart, soul and all that I am. Use me for your glory. I rejoice in your sovereignty, in your faithfulness, in your freedom,  your power, in your salvation, and in your name. Amen.
