Heal me Lord Jesus......
Oh, God...... deliver me from this disease of self and distraction that gnaws away at my time, that devours my days, that leaves me with but crumbs to offer You my God and my King. Forgive me Father for putting You, my First Love last...... Change my heart oh, God.... fan the embers burning inside of me until they become an All Consuming Fire! Crucify my flesh Lord Jesus.... refine my heart, burn away the dross and leave only the finest silver that shines bright of the Son of Man's glory...... that only You, living in me is left.
That I may be a witness of Your glory, of Your might, of Your love, of Your salvation.
Change me oh, God..... How I let You down, day after day as I serve the deeds of the flesh. The more I get lost in me the farther You seem to be.... yet I know that I am Yours.... bought with the price of Your blood. I know that I am forgiven.... though my sins are as scarlet You wash them white as snow..... Thank You Jesus that I am forgiven. Thank You Jesus that You are able to shine through me in spite of me.... Thank You Jesus that Your love for me never ceases. Thank You Jesus that You are bigger than me. That You have a plan for me... to serve You, to glorify You, to share the good news of You through me..... Use me Lord..... Here I am Lord, send me....
Open my eyes each day, each moment as to what You would have me do. Fill me with Your Holy Spirit, with fresh oil that I will see where You are working and how I might minister to those around me. Check my heart when there is an opportunity to share Your truth, Your love, Your salvation, to share You with someone. Whether they be my husband, my child, my friend, or a stranger. Give me a boldness to share Jesus with all I meet.... with a kind word, a warm smile, words You would have me share with them. With a hug, with giving my last cent, with a sacrifice of time or a job that need to be done. Open my eyes Lord to the work You long to do through me.... Help me to walk by faith..... in the Spirit. Not by might, not by power, but by My Spirit says the Lord.....
Lord, God... I hear You calling.... direct my path. I want to live for You oh, God. For Your kingdom. The time is growing short. There is so much work to be done. The harvest is plenty but the workers are few. Use me up Lord...... until all that is left is YOU!
Break down the damn I have built inside my soul........ let Your living water flood through me..... that I may be a messenger of the Hope that is in You Jesus.... OH, how my heart breaks for the lost. For those who have fallen pray to the father of lies, to the defeated one..... to those who have hardened their hearts against You oh, God. Have mercy upon them just as You have with me. Forgive them Lord, change their hearts. Break them if You have to. For in those times of brokenness we often find ourselves at the foot of the cross.... at the feet of our God, reaching out, calling out to You for Your mercy and grace. In those time of brokenness we discover that YOu have been there all along.... with arms outstretched.... heart wide open..... waiting for us..... longing for us..... calling out to us to come home.... to receive Your gift of forgiveness.... all we must do is confess that we have sinned against You. That You are God and that You alone bore the price for our sins on the cross..... That You alone Jesus rose again that we may be forgiven and be born again.... adopted into the family of God All Mighty. You are holy Lord. You alone are worthy of all praise. Oh, the wonder of it all that You gave Your life for us. That You love us with a love that is pure, undefiled, and unbreakable. That You left the throne room of heaven to live a humble life. To be beaten, blasphemied, mocked, spit upon, whipped and crucified... that You died that we might live..... Open their hearts Lord, Jesus that they will love You. Open their eyes that they will see You. Open their ears that they will know You. Open their minds that they will receive You. That none should perish. That through You we are made holy....
"Ho! Everyone who thirsts,
Come to the waters;
And you who have no money,
Come, buy and eat.
Yes, come, buy wine and milk
Without money and without price.
Why do you spend money for what is not bread,
And your wages for what does not satisfy?
Listen carefull to Me, and eat what is good,
And let your soul delight itself in abundance.
Incline your ear, and come to Me.
Hear, and your soul shall live;
And I will make an everlasting covenant with you-
Isaiah 55:1-3
Purge my home, my heart, my mind, my life from all that is keeping me from serving my purpose, all that is keeping me from serving YOUR purpose.... from all that is keeping me from loving you with all of me....
Oh, that I may touch the hem of Your garment and be healed, Oh, Lord...
