Deuteronomy 6:1-25

Father,

May I love you.

May I teach of you and talk of you.

May you inhabit my hands and my eyes.

May my home be full of you.

May I never forget you in the blessings you provide.

Make me to fear you and serve you.

Take away the gods of my heart.

May I not test you but instead listen to you.

And may I remember your salvation,

Won at great cost.

Amen

Eyes for you Alone

Father

You have blessed me with money.

You have burdened me with money.            

My wicked heart is drawn to comfort and pleasure rather than to you.

Take from me the love of wealth,

And give me a heart radically turned towards you,

Deeply in love with you,

With eyes for you alone.

Amen

From Luke 18:18-30

Known by God

Father, I pray for desire.

The desire to love and serve you.

The desire to sacrifice for your glory.

The desire to give and to be used up for your kingdom.

The desire to serve and love people.

May I grow in maturity,

Seeking holiness,

dispensing with sin,

pressing on towards the day when I will see you face to face

May I be willing to share

Share Christ with a lost and dying world

Share what I have with those who have little

May your Spirit change me this year

so that in the future I will not be what I am but what you desire

Saved by your Son

Salt and light to the world

A loved member of your precious bride

Known by You

Amen
