Who am I?

 

Genesis 2:4-17

Father you have made us.
From the dust of the ground
You have breathed life into us.
You have made us for life
And blessing in abundance.
You have made us to hear and obey your word.
You have made us for yourself.
We praise you
That we are fearfully and wonderfully made,
That we are treasured and known.
And we long for the renewed life that your Son has brought to us
Not in the garden but in the city.
Amen

Father
Change my anger into grace
my selfishness into service
my fear into loving.
Change the desires of my heart

Give me eyes to see your salvation
ears to delight in your voice
affections that are warm towards you
and a life filled with holy and enduring actions

May your Son shine ever brighter
your grace be ever more precious
the cross be my beacon and my pillar
and you ever be the direction of my heart

Amen

Fullness Ephesians 5:15-20

Father of fullness,

Make us careful in how we live.

Make us wise not foolish,

Redeeming the time,

Recognising that the days are evil.

May we know your will,

Be filled with the Holy Spirit,

May your word overflow from our hearts into our mouths and our lives.

May we sing of your greatness and your salvation.

Filled with gratitude for everything,

In the name of your Son Jesus Christ our Lord.

Standing Firm - Ephesians 6:10-20

Father, I am

Weak,

Wicked,

Doubting,

Tempted,

Uncertain,

And overconfident in my ability to stand firm.

There have been many times when you have

Kept me in my stupidity;

Saved me from my lusts;

Snatched me from my apostasy;

Strengthened me in my cowardice;

And reminded me in my unbelief.

Keep me from forgetting the truth.

May the gospel

Strengthen my resolve;

Smother my unrighteousness;

Soften my doubts;

And enable me to stand firm.

May your word inhabit my heart,

And may prayer be my constant practice.

For your glory alone.
