Father I fall short of your grace everyday,
And most days I don’t even feel the desire to pray,
I try to overcome my sin in my own strength, but I’m incredibly weak,
Falling back into old habits, almost accepting defeat,
Inside my mind there’s a war waging, it’s heavy and fierce,
I’m crying out to you Father but sometimes I feel you don’t hear,
Although I know the truth, the lies distract me every time,
Father I need your help, please let your will be done not mine,
I know this is a battle, that everyone of your children must face,
But I’m buckling at my knees Father, please shower me with your grace,
Show mercy on me Father, correct me in love and not in wrath,
Pull me from the wide road, and lead me back to your narrow path,
Fill me with your spirit Father, teach me to walk in obedience and love,
Keep my mind focused on Jesus and everything up above,
Remind me to pick up my cross daily, and convict me when I’m wrong,
And in the moments I can’t pray remind me to sing you a song,
Glorify yourself in my weaknesses, just as you did when David defeated Goliath,
Intercede on my behalf, be my slingshot to these giants,
Make me lie down in green pastures, lead me beside still waters,
Remind me everyday that you are my good, good Father,
Bless me with the wisdom to apply your Word to my life,
Sanctify me Father, remind me that you sent your Son to pay the price!
Let your salvation ring so loud in my mind that it drowns out my fears,
Fill my heart with joy, with the promise your Son will soon be here,
To bring judgement to the wicked and reward for the faithful,
Father teach me everyday what it means to be thankful,
Humble my selfish heart, teach me humility,
Shoot my pride down like an arrow, and let me praise your abilities,
Teach me how to serve others, and not to just serve myself,
Remind me to read my Bible and not to leave it on my shelf,
Pull on my heart to pray Father, especially in those moments I feel weak,
Take control of my evil tongue, and remind me of what it means to be meek,
Stand close to my broken heart Father, comfort my crushed spirit,
Renew my mind and teach me your truth, even on the days I don’t want to hear it,
Take captive my dreadful thoughts Father and make them obedient to Christ,
Cancel every attack from the enemy and allow me to sleep in your peace at night,
Fill my life with your presence, with your radiant glory,
And give me the courage I need to go out and tell the world your story.
