Lord, of all the prayers I’ve prayed for strength to make it through a situation, sometimes just a day, this time I pray that my heart will remain broken before you. You have delivered me yet this time I don’t want to run ahead for you are doing something beyond my understanding and just out of view. Your Holy Spirit has this time caught my attention and I feel the best place to be is right here, help me to not take this time with you for granted.
This one thing I know, it is the times I depend on myself that though they may seem glorious for a little while those are the times that always precede the test. In the midst of the test I look to you and am closer to salvation than any other time, you bring me to my feet and once again it’s not long before I’ve taken my eyes off of you but this time make it different O Lord. Help me to step with wisdom and embrace your precepts. Help me not to walk by sight but by faith, with purpose and direction that comes not from my own understanding but from your Holy Spirit.
So break my heart Lord so that my eyes don’t lead me astray, how can it be I see more with my eyes shut than open. Will my heart ever get it? You knew me before I was created in the womb, help me to remember. Your purpose goes beyond my small dreams for this short life and I will never be fully alive until I have centered my life in Your will. Be still my heart for the Master is walking by, soul shut your eyes for I want to see Him unhindered. Lord, come near for I need you more now than ever. You have prepared me for this time and I don’t want to miss what you have destined before my life began. So won’t you lead this blind man and help me to listen closer this time for even if this is but one step closer to you my heart overflows.
