Adore

Father, I adore you.
Lay my life before you.
How we love you!

You are the Creator God
who gives life and love and new life.
I acknowledge your mysterious power
over all you have created.

You are the Creator, the Sustainer,
the Nourisher of Life. You are Love.
You love to mend our broken places
and give us your strength. Help us to
submit whole heartedly to your amazing power.
You make and keep
promises and covenants.
You bring your people out of captivity. You
sustain them in the desert.
You provide water and bread from nothing.
You make the childless rejoice as happy parents.
You give families to
orphans. You give and take away.
Blessed be your name.

We will never understand you,
but let us always honor you and trust you.
Help us to make our life's purpose
to bring you Glory, for you are worthy!

You alone are worthy.
Brilliant. Transcendent, All-Knowing, Almighty God!
We seek to praise you.

You are my hiding place.
You always fill my heart with songs of
deliverance. Whenever I am afraid,
I will trust in you. Thank you
for being a refuge.
A strong tower. A sanctuary.

You are my provider.
You know what I need and you provide.
You make streams of abundance flow
in the wilderness. You give us abundant
life. Eternal LIfe. New Life.

You make your abundant power available
to your people in ways we
will never understand.
I will praise you forever.

This is the day you have made,
may I give it back to you in praise ,
in service, and in rest.

Father, you know all about my body.
You made it and you make it work.
Help me to trust you for my medical future
and for my physical ife and well-being today.

I am full of sin and rebellion.
I often choose my own way.
Please turn me toward you. Please forgive,
purify, change, focus, ignite, use, and save me.
Make me stand before you.
I am consumed with selfishness,
leading to anger, frustration, bitterness
and hatred. Please open my heart to the
needs of others, whether physical,
spiritual, mental, or social.
Make my life a channel of blessing.

Today, let me speak only words from you.
Only then can I make the most of every opportunity.
Please help me to clean up my words
and to see how to bless others with
words from you.

I need patience, more love, more of you, more of Jesus, more of your spirit in my life. I need less selfishness.

Father, I want your will in my life. And more than that, I want to
whole-heartedly want your will in my life.7 days a week,
24 hours per day 365 days per year.
Please help me not to lie to myself even one minute per day.
Please give me a hunger and a thirst for you.

Please help me to make your glory the main
goal of my life. Please help me
to understand that Jesus is my life.

In Jesus' name,
Amen
