Lord God, “As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are Your ways higher than my ways and Your thoughts than my thoughts.” But I want to think what I want to think! I want to do what I want to do! That’s my conundrum. I want to follow You and allow You to be The Lord of my life but I don’t want to give up control.
However, You remind me in Your Word that You know better than I do—“Your ways are higher than my ways.”
You aren’t going to push Yourself on me. It’s my choice. I have to intentionally put myself in a position of actively following You. Holy Spirit help me do that! Give me a heart of seeking You. Give me eyes to see You and ears to hear Your whispers.
Please remind me that the more time I spend with You, the more I get to know You. The more I know You, the more I see Your work in my life. And the more I see that, the more I trust You. My heart changes, I gain clarity of mind and then my actions follow. It becomes easier to follow You—to abide in You.
Please Holy Spirit, write Your Word on my heart. Let this truth sink in - “As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are Your ways higher than my ways and Your thoughts than my thoughts.” Let them penetrate my soul and inner being. Let me believe it with all my heart! And in this journey of following You, reveal to me the truth of who You are, not who I think You are.
You are a loving Father. You are Holy. You are my refuge in times of trouble. You want good things for me. You are faithful and will never leave me. I don’t need to earn Your love, it’s a gift. You are fighting for me. And so much more! Give me a desire to know You, and in knowing You, obeying and abiding in You.
In the Holy Name of Jesus I pray.
Amen
