July 4th during worship
Dear Lord,
I’m here speechless, with no words that can express my feelings. I’m willing but with no power to subdue my desires.
It just doesn’t make sense. I’m full of nonsense. My vain wishes and desires seem to prison me. My worst enemy is within.
Lord, liberate me from my evil life to praise you and worship you. Imagination of glory comes but it can’t be fulfilled without you.
I stand here with only a hopeful desire to live for you. Clouds surrounds me causing me to loose sight. Shine on me your glory to bring hope back to my soul.
… can’t without you.

- Dear Jesus, how desperately I need to learn to pray. And yet when I am honest, I know that I often do not even want to pray.
- I am distracted!
- I am stubborn!
- I am self-centered!
- In your mercy, Jesus, bring my “want-er” more in line with my “need-er” so that I can come to want what I need.
- In your name and for your sake, I pray. – Amen. Prayer, Richard J. Foster

Lord teach me how to love as you have loved me. I stand here willing to be transformed by your grace. Pour out your Spirit into my thirsty soul. Mold me into your image to bring glory to the world so that they may believe in you.

- Lord, how can you be so unfair? It seems you loved David more than Saul . . . I don’t understand. Do know what you are doing?

Lord, snow is pouring quietly and softly without letting anyone know, without myself being aware of it. I pray for your grace to be poured in my life today like the snow. . . It is falling so gently. I can feel your presence is so gentle. . . Now I feel at peace. You, understanding my turmoil, has shown me in the midst of the snow storm how soft You are, how graceful You are, and how close You are to me. But to my amazement You are like that to everyone. We are not aware of it. . . Lord help me to be open to see your wonders . . .

Take me, O Lord, as wholly Thine. I lay all my plans at Thy feet. Use me today in Thy service. Abide with me, and let all my work be wrought in Thee. SC 70
