Prayer: Dominated

Dominated by Christ alone
Your power flowing through me
My heart Christ's throne
Ah, Lord, can it be?
When my spirit is faint, You know my way
Walk beside me, O Lord, day by day

John 11.26; Psalm 142.3; 1 Esdras 7.15; 1 Corinthians 5.7

Prayer: Though Years be Many or Few

Lord Jesus, may I live a life that expresses the joy of being in relationship with You and demonstrates Your love to the watching world. Use me, O Lord. The years may be many or few. Place me where I can best serve You and influence the most for Thee. May I rejoice in all things, knowing all is useful in Your hands. I call upon You, O Lord, give ear to my voice when I cry. Let my prayer be counted as incense before You. May I not lose heart, even though my outer nature is wasting away, may my inner nature be renewed day by day. Keep my eyes focused on You, O Lord.

Prayer: Singleness of Vision & Purpose

Lord God, I draw near to You. I choose with my whole will to draw near. So many things distract and pull my attention, my focus, off of You. I will myself to be quiet and sit before You. I choose You. Uphold me with Thy free Spirit, O Lord. You are my God; give ear, O Lord, to the voice of my supplication. Hearken unto the voice of my cry, my King and my God. I meditate upon Your Word. Direct my hopes and yearnings. Break into my life and grant me eyes to see Your hand acting on my behalf. Grant singleness of vision and purpose. May Your Word be written on my heart by Your Spirit. I choose to walk in the freedom of Christ, in oneness with You, my Lord and my God.

Psalm 51.12; Psalm 140.6; 1 Esdras 5.47,58; 2 Corinthians 3.2-3, 17

Prayer: Enwheeled About...


Emancipation; freedom through Christ. Emancipation from my own ideas; absolute loyalty to Christ. Lord, I confess that so often I live a life enslaved and not emancipated. May my eye be clear, may I hear the Word of God, may I take possession of the knowledge of the Most High, may I see the vision of the Almighty and behold You. Lead me, O God, in the Way Everlasting. From You alone comes wisdom and victory. May I be "enwheeled about with the odor of Christ." May I spread abroad in every place the very fragrance of Christ. May I be the aroma of Life to those whom I meet.

Numbers 24.25-27; Psalm 139.24; 1 Esdras 4.58-60; 2 Corinthians 2.14-15, 17

Prayer: Fulfill That Which is Purposed

Lord Jesus Christ, I empty myself and ask You to fill me. I chose a life set apart. Fulfill that in me and through me which You have purposed. Your steadfast love endures forever. Fulfill the work of Your hands. May I truly be able to console those around me with the very consolation which You have been to me.

Numbers 23.9,19; Psalm 138.8; 2 Corinthians 1.3-5

Prayer: Clear Sighted

Lord God, may I grasp ever more clearly the fact that I am not my own, that I have been bought with a price. May I see when You open effective work for me; grant eyes to see Your leading as well as Your opposition to opportunities. Open my ear to those who are there to speak Your truth into my life, especially those unexpected voices along the way. May I be a clear-sighted woman of God. Keep me ever alert, firm in my faith, courageous, strong and filled with the love of Christ.

1 Corinthians 6.19; Numbers 22.34,38; 1 Corinthians 16.9,13
