"Guidance Prayer"

Father,
Sometimes, I wonder what life is all about,
With hope ~ not doubt.
For, I pray to please, not displease, you.

I never want your Spirit to leave.
Thank you for teaching me
(Yes, Lord) how to believe.

But, I wonder, what I should do.
I wonder, if my dreams will come true.
I wonder, if I will have great success
Or should I settle, Lord, just for less?

No, I want more,
By your grace, that is in store.
For, you are Almighty and Great.

Expecting these blessings,
I just sense I must wait ~
Praying, Father,
It will not be too late.

Lord, to be content and filled with joy,
Not careless or throw my life away ~
Some do it, everyday,
As if life was a toy.

Perhaps that was me
Before I could see.

I had been there ~
Only now, to nurture and care,
And my blessings share.

Though, it seems, Lord,
I can only handle what I bear.

Lord, I dream for the impossible
To find my way,
Even now, as I pray.

For, Lord, you are capable.
With you, all things are possible.
Nothing is too hard for you.
Oh, Lord, I pray, "Please
Show me what to do."

I dream to be the best I can.
With your wisdom, I can understand.
Give me direction, with discretion.
Let me see your plan.

Let me heed the call,
Not ever wanting to fall;
To be obedient,
When your word has been sent.

Let this, I pray, each day,
 Please you in every way.

Then, I know, what ever I do,
You will show me how to
make my dreams come true.

For, you are the author
and the finisher of my faith;
As you, my Lord, in your word saith.

And, as the blessings come true,
Let this be my story ~
Giving you all the glory.

Hebrews 12:2
Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith;
who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross,
despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.

Ephesians 1:17
That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory,
may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him:

Psalm 84:11
For the LORD God is a sun and shield:
the LORD will give grace and glory: no good thing
 will he withhold from them that walk uprightly.


 
Father, our Lord, who we behold, for you are Almighty God, King of Kings; the heavens declare your glory, and the earth sings of all the good and mighty things you do.  How can we not search for you, for your guidance?
Yet, there are those who do not know the wonderful gifts you have placed in their lives.  So, they do not look to you.
They take it for granted that they will have the wisdom, or the talent, to do it on their own.
 
Why is it, Lord, that, through my failures, I know how great you are?  I know, without you, I am nothing.  I can do nothing and I am as a broken branch, if you are not with me and in me in all things.
 
So, Father, I pray for each one of us to be guided by you.  I pray, we would sense and know, how wonderful you are ... how, by you, we are able to do all things through Christ who strengthens us.  And in doing so, may we give you all the
glory and recognize, it is you who has placed these gifts and callings, these wonderful desires in our life.  For, yes, we are created by you.  You are the author, and the finisher of our faith.
 
So, Father, we ask for your guidance to fulfill our lives ... and with thanks.  Glory to you, my Lord.
In Jesus name,  Amen

II Corinthians 4:6
For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness,
hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.
 
Romans 5:2
By whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand,
and rejoice in hope of the glory of God.
