Purpose

Breathe on me Breath of God
Until I am all Thine own
Come and fill my heart with Your peace
Send me out to fulfull Your great Purpose

Order My Ways

O Lord, I order my ways before You
I lift up my eyes and look to the hands of my Master
Have mercy on me, O God, have mercy

I have had more than enough of contempt
My soul has had more than enough of scorn from those who are at ease
Fill me with Your Spirit
So that I toil not in vain
So I do not become weary
May I be a defender of the weak

Testify to Truth

O Lord, I set my heart to seek You
I pray for Your help
I seek the good of others
Send Your marvelous help

For this I was born
For this I came into the world
To testify to the Truth
Open my ear to hear Your Voice
For You are the Truth & the Life

Weak & Weary

Lord God, may I be strong in battle
Not turning back but acting on conviction of Your Spirit
Grant, O God, Strength...much more than what I currently have
For I am weak and weary
It would be so easy to give up
I lift up mine eyes unto the hills
O Lord, be my Help
Let my foot not be moved
Inspire me with Your Word
May I know You fully and experience eternal, abundant Life now

O Lord, give a lamp to me and to my descendants forever
Great is Your steadfast love toward us
Your faithfulness endures forever
Choose us, O Lord, to go up for Your glory

Return My Soul to Rest

Lord, I do not know what to do, but my eyes are on You
This battle is Yours, O God
I stand still and wait for Your victory
Hear my voice and supplications
Incline Your ear to me
I am suffering distress and anguish
Protect this simple one
When I am brought low, O Lord, save me
Return my soul to rest
Deal bountifully with me, O Merciful God
From You comes victory and wisdom
I am Your servant
I fall to the ground and die to self
May all the glory be Yours alone

Courageous

The Resurrection
And the Life, that is Your claim
Grant new Life to me

With my whole heart, Lord
I shall act in faithfulness
Lord, be with the good

Stirring

Ah, Lord God, is it You stirring my Spirit?
I see Your people scattered on the mountains like sheep without a shepherd
Stir up the hearts of others to care for Your sheep, too
So many, Lord, so many
Place Your words in my mouth
Call forth Your people by name
Let them hear Your voice
Stir their hearts so they may respond
Remove the thief who comes to steal, kill, and destroy Your sheep
Bring, O Lord, abundant Life

Courageous Heart

Grant a courageous heart, O Lord
One that seeks Your Way
Make the barren one to rejoice in You
May I not become so attached to my plans and dreams that I miss the path You call me to follow
Listen to this one who worships You
May I ever obey Your will

Strengthen my heart so I may be ever true to Thee
Make my heart firm, securie in the Lord
Remember Your child, O Lord

May I seek only Your reward
I come to You
I drink of Your Covenant
Let Your Living water flow

Authority

Help us, O Lord our God
For we rely on You & Your name
O Lord, You are our God
Let no mere mortal prevail against You
You have sworn and will not change Your mind
Remove the authority from my adversary
Place Your full authority upon me

Abandoned

I feel abandoned, O Lord God, on every side
Act on my behalf for Your Name's sake
Because Your steadfast love is good, deliver me
Do not be silent, O God of my praise

I praise You for being a strong Tower
I run to You and I am safe
I praise You for being my Stronghold & Deliverer
I praise You for being my strengthening Word
I praise You for upholding me with Your mighty right hand

Stop the mouths of the wicked and deceitful
Quiet the lying, hateful, accusatory tongues
If I have found favor with my King
Let my life be granted me
Apart from You I can do nothing

Let the Waters Flow

O Lord God, I confess that I am tired from my Journey
I come and sit by Your well
Be a spring of water gushing up to eternal Life
Sir, the well is deep
I set my heart to seek You
My heart is steadfast, O God
My heart is steadfast
I will sing and make melody
Awake, O my soul!
With God we shall do valiantly
May others see the Living God is with me in all I do
Let the Waters flow

All My Journey

O Lord, bring a slow steady Wind of Understanding
Of new Life and of Light
A reminder that I need ALL of my Journey

Peaceable Words

Lord God, fill my mouth and heart with kind and peaceable words
May I speak good words to others
Recall to my mind and heart Your good works on behalf of Your people
May I wait on You and on Your counsel
Not rushing ahead with my own plan or agenda
O Lord, I invoke Your aid on my behalf and on my church's behalf
For You are an all-seeing God full of love and mercy
I will do that which You tell me

Seeking

O Lord God, Almighty
You are wisdom, grace and truth
O Lord, It is You I seek
I seek Your strength
I see Your Presence continually
I flee to You when I am full of anxiety
From Your fullness pour out grace upon grace on this Your servant
May I be filled with Your wisdom, grace and truth

Riding on the Wings of the Wind

Bless the Lord, O my soul
You make the clouds Your chariot
You ride on the wings of the wind
O Lord, You rule as King over all things
For the universe is in Your power
There is no one who can oppose You

God, save Israel!
O Lord, God & King, God of Abraham
Spare Your people
For the eys of their foes are upon them
To annihilate them and destroy Your inheritance
Do not neglect Your portion which you redeemed out of the land of Egypt
Hear my prayer and have mercy upon Your inheritance
Open my mind, O Lord, to understand Your Scriptures
Fill me with Your Spirit, O Lord God of Hosts

Gratitude

You, O Lord, have shown me goodness
May I be full of joy and gratitude and bless Your holy Name
Bless the Lord, O my soul and forget not all His benefits
Who forgives all my iniquity
Who heals all my diseases
Who redeems my life from the pit
Who crowns me with steadfast love and mercy
Who satisfies my mouth with good things
Who restores my youth as the eagle's

Fully Furnished

May I be fully furnished, equipped
Clothed in Your Spirit
Standing firm in the faith
No matter what I may face

Prayer Poem: Morning By Morning

Ah, Lord God,
Each morning I sit before You and Your Word
To study, as the Psalmist says,
The Way that is blameless.
When, O Lord, shall I attain it?

Prayer: And Not We Ourselves

Lord God, may I relax

Knowing I am well-tended by my Creator-Shepherd
I accept the field where you have placed me

I trust in Your goodness.
Fill me with Your joy

The joy that comes from knowing

Your steadfast love and faithfulness never fail

Amen

Psalm 100
