Prayer For Strength To Stop Doing Nearly Anything To
Gain Love And Approval
Most Precious Lord Jesus…
Gentle And Wonderful God…
Truly Awesome And Ever-present Holy Spirit…
I desperately seek love and approval.
I act in ways I know I should not act.
Tragically, in my weaknesses, I will do nearly anything to get love and
approval.
The conditions of my life have gotten severe.
When I look back, I am grieved over what I have done and what I continue
to do.
I know I should walk in your love when I desperately need love.
However, I am so caught up in my needs I fail to seek you.
I know you know how difficult my life has become.
Even as weak as I am, when I stop for just a moment and call your name,
you surround me with your love.
You surround me like the early morning fog surrounds me when I walk next
to the lake.
Be with me so your love pours down upon me like the summer rain.
Help me sense more vividly how your love presses upon my heart like the
power of the March wind pushes against my face.
In my grief and remorse, let your forgiving grace gently fall upon me like
the snowflakes of winter fall upon my face.
Rather than my being weak and selfish, help me be obedient to your will
for me.
Help me be tough and stay tough to do your will as I seek to walk in your
love every day.
Thank you, Precious Lord, for listening to me, a humble sinner.
All these things we humbly pray in the name of our most Blessed Lord Jesus
Christ, our Mighty God, and our Ever-present Holy Spirit upon whom we can
rely.
Amen
