In All Your Ways, Acknowledge Him

God thank you for today. Sometimes I wake up and forget to acknowledge you in my life. I wake up only thinking about myself and get distracted. I realize how often I put other things before you. I repent for my sins and for not turning to you. Help me to abide in you. To desire you first and foremost above everything else.

i wonder what my life would look like if I consistently walked closely with you in intimacy. Sometimes I just wander off on my own. I don't even realize sometimes how far I drift away. Draw me back to you. Father God remind me of who you are. Reveal your truths to me and put your desires in my heart. Remove anything that hinders me from growing closer to you. Help me get rid of any idols in my life. Help me get rid of things that are not from you.

Father God, sometimes I don't understand why things happen the way that they do, but in any matter help me to trust you. I pray that you'd give me more clarity and guidance. To help me go in your direction. 

Father God sometimes I struggle with myself. I had a dream I was driving down a road and realized that I was going the wrong way when I saw a bunch of cars headed my way. Help me to pull over and turn around to move in the right direction and in your ways. Help me to accept your plans for me rather than just making choices on my own. I pray that you would speak to me more clearly. That you would reveal yourself more evidently to me. And if you don't, help me in my faith to not have to rely on any sort of feeling or senses. Sometimes it's a lot easier to feel reassured that you are always with me. And even though I know that you always are, sometimes I just don't sense that you are. You know what I mean. 

Father God, help me to be more consistent with my goals. Help me to find balance. Help me to be successful in how I manage myself, my time and my relationships. I pray that you would pour in optimal and holistic health within me. Fill me with your spirit, your energy and power to accomplish your will. 

Father God, I would like to get to know Jesus Christ more. To be able to talk and spend more time with Jesus. Sometimes I compartmentalize you as God and usually only run to you Father. The idea of the Trinity sometimes baffles me, and I'm interested in experiencing and learning more about the personhood of Jesus and the Holy Spirit. You call the Holy Spirit the great counselor.. and boy.. do I need a great counselor..

As I started my morning today, I realize that I started it without you and jumped straight to my own focus and business. I pray that every day I would be more intentional to start my day with you and to include you in every aspect of my life, rather than just tryin to do things all on my own. Remind me of your love.

Remind me that my value and identity are rooted in you. Remind me that I don't have to be "good enough" or try to be perfect. Help me to be less critical on myself. Help me to be more kind to myself and to love myself. Help me to also respond to people in the same way that you respond in grace and compassion. I pray that I'd be more like Jesus. Help me to meditate and do more intentional devotion time with you, in your word, contemplation and prayer. 

Anyways, thanks for always being there. Thanks for always being with me. Thank you for all that you're doing in my life. And fill me with exploding joy and praises for all your blessings and all the goodness you provide. I pray that you would use me as a vessel for your gospel and to help others. Okay I gotta go now God! talk to you soon!
