Lord,
You are the judge of all that is ... nothing escapes you.
So what you declare to be right is
righteous ... and what you declare to be sin, no man can overrule
What you declare true ... stands
unshaken for all eternity and what you call good is truly good
without right to question. There is no other word that shapes my
existence beyond what you speak and no other judge that determines my
fate in eternity but you. These things in mind, I pray Lord, make
your declarations clear to my understanding - not only in statute, but
in completeness of spirit that I may be found pleasing in your sight
and a joy to the heart of my Lord
Let me speak with your heart ... guard
my tongue to speak only in pure love
Let me think with your heart ... guard
my mind to produce only holy thoughts
Let me hear with your ears ... guard my
perception to hear with discernment
Let me love with your love ... guard my
motives that they may to be true to your spirit
Let me act in your spirit ... guide my
ways that I may act in keeping with the heart of my God
Let me live with your perspective ...
guide my understanding to live your perception as my reality
Strip from me this world and its values
while I yet occupy it that I not become heir to its folly. Let me see
with the vision of eternal eyes and live thinking with an eternal
mind, because you have made me eternal. Let my ambitions and actions
be toward a day far from now, one beyond my current occupation of
this place. Let these things be found to exist in me that I may not
sin in my pursuit of what you have declared righteous and that my
existence brings life to all that I encounter. Let it be so ...
