Carol's prayer ..

My journey is drawing near, so near...

More of You, less of me... less of my hopes, my expectations, my plans,
my
future, my mate...focus is on You, not on me.. though there's hope,
help me
to get by alone with you... my peace of mind, my endless
thoughts...help me
to have a deep sleep - deep slumber of emotions...and journey onward
with
You with joy and gladness...

Though darkness engulf, I will cling to your light as my shield and
guide
along my rocky path..Help me Oh Lord not to stumble in the human
desires I
long for...Guide my heart Oh Lord, for it is a single's weakness...lead
me
to the path of obedience...let me be victorious on the trials ahead of
me...
keep me moving on to the path you have planned for me -- show me Your
ways
Oh Lord.

May I be a servant worthy to be in your footstool. Your strength will
renew
me like an eagle, refresh my soul like a morning dew.
Your comfort and love will fill my empty part, my lonely state... it
will
sustain me as I move alone with You.

I am scared Oh Lord of what the future brings, excited at the same
time...thank You for your assurance and unconditional love and
appreciation
to your daughter.
An ordinary girl, shaped to your extra-ordinary vision...

I know you make impossible things possible, though I can't see how
things
will be...but Your word is so true, that I should put my faith and hold
on
to that promise...
the promise You have placed in the depths of my mind and in my soul..
but
for now, I have to move on and obey, not to look back, but to go on...

Though things may not be what I will expect, help me Oh Lord to accept
things as it comes. Your ways are better than mine...
Guide me Oh Lord in every step I take...if I need to walk or run, if I
need
stay or leave...If your gift is marriage or singleness...it is indeed a
gift, it shouldn't be demanded upon... You do know the needs of your
children. Only You can satisfy my soul, like a sheep that thirsts for
water...

I pray for a humble heart, an enduring spirit, a compassionate soul,
joyful
aura and the boldness of salvation.
As we move on this journey together, I believe in your promises,
blessings
do come after obedience, you shall provide all our needs wherever we go

Help me Oh Lord to focus on You and less in Your hands... more of You,
as
King, as we do things for Your kingdom..

To God be the Glory in all things I do

Amen.
