Lord God, thank You for all the times my faith has been tried. Thank You for using those times to help me learn more about Your character and to clarify Your Truth in my heart and mind. Your Word, O God, is Your Voice to me. Your Word, O Christ, is You fleshed out for me. Thank You for Your Word. may it ever be a lamp unto my feet and a light to my path in times of darkness. May I sit patiently before Your Word, listening carefully, not becoming impatient along the Way. I give thanks to You, O Lord, for Your steadfast love and boundless mercy. Continue, O Lord, to stir my spirit so I become steadfast, immovable, always excelling in the work You have given me. By Your grace, O God, I am what I am.

Prayer: That None of Your Words Would Fall
Ah, Holy One, may I choose to see the revelation fact of God in the practical experiences throughout my day, so I may work out more and more who You are to me. I trust You in all. I strive to excel in those things that will build up the church, Your Kingdom. I strive to ensure that none of Your words to me fall to the ground.

Prayer: The Astute Mind Behind
I see You as the Astute Mind Behind all. My heart is not lifted up, my eyes are not raised too high, I do not occupy myself with things too great and marvelous for me. I calm and quiet my soul before You, O God. I drink from my Spiritual Rock, O Christ.

Prayer: Do Not Run Aimlessly
Lord God, my hope, my aim, is to live in such a way that I am useful to You and to the building up of Your Kingdom. Guide me, O Thou Great Jehovah, in the discipline of my self-life. I wait for You, O Lord. In You, my soul waits. If You were to mark all my sins and iniquities, O Holy One, I could not stand before You. It is You, my Kinsman Redeemer, who redeems me from all my iniquities. Govern me by Your most righteous laws. Regenerate me by Your Spirit. Write Your Law upon my heart and mind. Adopt me as Your own. May all I do all in this life in a most excellent way, reflecting Your rule, Your love, Your reign. May I do all things thoughtfully so as not run aimlessly.
