Father, in Jesus Name, I ask you the best way I know how that you forgive my sins and take my life and direct it, lead it, and guide it, all the days of my life. I want to know You in a more personal way. Help me to grow in Your Word. I believe that You died on the Cross for me and that You were raised from the dead. I confess You as my Lord. I repent of my sins, both known and unknown, and I ask You to forgive me. Open my blinded eyes that I might see and know You better and that I might see and know myself.
Lord Jesus, You chose me and appointed me to go and bear fruit-fruit that will last. You are the Gardener. You prune every branch that bears fruit, so it will be even more fruitful. Therefore, I yield myself to you. I commit myself to bring forth the fruit of the spirit: love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, and temperance. I renounce and turn from the fruit of the flesh, because I belong to You. Even as I go from this place, help me to identify things of the flesh so that I can more fully give myself to You.
Father, I thank You that I am good ground. I commit to hearing Your Word regularly. I want to understand it. I desire that the Word would bear much fruit in my life. I want to be like a tree planted by the rivers of water that brings forth fruit in its season. Jesus, help me to find a family of believers, who will help me to grow. I commit to look for those so that I can be accountable to your Word and daily growth.
Father, in Jesus' name, I thank You for filling me with the knowledge of Your will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding, so that I may walk worthy of You and become fruitful in every good work and increase in the knowledge of You.
Lord, let me know what I can do to serve You better. I give myself to You fully and ask You to please come in and take control of my life. In Jesus Name I pray. Amen. |
