Bringing my Prayer over from our President's Prayer Thread.
Our Gracious Master,

Our Gracious Lord, we Praise You for our Military, in Jesus' Name. Thank You, our Father, for Every Life You Bless in Your Grace. We Pray that You will Shine Your Gospel Light through our Troops Day by Day. We Pray for Revival for our Nation, and for Israel's Salvation and Peace. Please, my Loving Shepherd-Lord, Evermore Bless 'the City of the Great King.'
We Pray for Every Good and Perfect Gift to be with Thy Beloved Lambs. Bless those who Lead us in Prayer, and All who Worship in this Place. Grant Healing to All who Need it, our Merciful and Compassionate Lord God.
We Love You, O Father our King, as we Pray in our Jesus' Name, amen.
But Grow in Grace, and in the Knowledge of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. To Him be Glory both Now and Forever, amen. (2Pet.3:18)
Open this day my heart, O Lord,
And let me see the truth of my being
Those darknesses I hold in my heart,
The hard places I see without seeing.
Throw open the dark and let in your truth,
The saving touch of your light,
Restore me, make me white as wool,
Clean to stand in your sight.
How often it is that I miss the mark,
Fall short of the way you would send me,
My good intentions crumble like dirt,
As I let in the darkness to bend me.
It is only by clinging here to your cross,
That I can find help for my falling,
Only by standing up and facing my wrongs
Can my life answer your calling.
O help me see clearly where I go wrong,
Bring your light into my life.
Strip away all the veils that I wrap me in,
Thy Spirit sharper than any knife.
O Lord of my life, shape me and mold me,
Forgive me my failings this day.
O cleanse me and make me the way that you would
Make me all yours, this I pray.
