Lord of all Creation,
Balance me today. Balance my thoughts, my desires, my cravings. Balance my responses, my reactions, my interactions. Lord, balance the heart within me from which all things flow and balance my mind, body and soul. You, O Lord, who holds the endless universe in perfect balance, who can suspend planets in mid-air and who tells the sea where to stop, balance me today.
Make Your will - my will, Your desires - my desires. Remind me all day that through Your Holy Spirit, anything that comes into my life has had to come through You first and is a lesson to grow from. Let me not expect life to be easy but to know that it will be interesting, fascinating and sometimes a puzzling journey of joys and sorrows and that I will never walk it alone. Keep me mindful that every bad thing has goodness to be found in it, if we will only look for it. And, when our plans do not fit Your plan - bless me with peace that Your plan is best and that it is safe to follow You anywhere. Our purpose here is not to be comfortable but to be comforting, not to be stuffed with empty "things" of this earth but to be content with whatever we have and to share it with others. Balance me today in every way, encourage me to release the things I covet and I desire above all that You alone fill my wanting hands and heart.
Make my day a prayer to you, so I am connected to You every moment. Let not my pride think that I can do anything apart from You. Give me a constant hunger in my heart to be satisfied and filled only by You and to recognize You as my full portion. Above all Lord, reveal and cement in my heart Your deep and committed love that you have for me. Make me ever thirsty for Your Word and Your presence in my life. Let no one and no thing rob me of Your gift of peace knowing that Your Holy Spirit has filled me and I am sealed by Him, the giver of all Your gifts. Give me Your wisdom generously to be able to stand in all hope of You.
You are my Redeemer, my Savior, Lover of my soul and my friend. May all those I pray for find You to be all those things to them also. Whatever shape each persons emptiness is - fill it perfectly Lord as only You can do. Whenever one of them is alone, worried or scared, let Your presence comfort them and assure them. Show the lost that You are the Way and that Your truth and light will guide them and give them hope. May our desire be to see You glorified in our lives.
Thank you for giving and for also not giving, for you alone know what’s best for me. I thank you for everything, even the undesirable situations of my life. Keep me focused on You and not those puzzling things so that I can have peace and joy even in my storms. I love you Lord, and it’s only when I turn elsewhere rather than to you that I loose my way. Give me a heart that gives you my self-pity, anger, resentment and bitterness and receives from you your goodness instead! My nature is to turn to my complaining but I ask you to change that nature by giving me a humble heart that surrenders willingly and joyfully to You alone. Your boundless love surrounds me and your kindness and forgiveness brings me to joyful tears! You are meeting me right now in my spirit, my Daddy in Heaven, and I feel safe and so loved! You are my hope and joy. Amen
