Prayer for Today (Oct. 31, 202)

May your Fire
       within, ignite the fire in others.
May your Fragrance
       draw others to worship You.
May your Light
       shine in my actions and motives.
May your Holiness
       be revealed in the choices I make.
May your Love
       permeate my relationships.
May Your Fatherhood
       produce a father’s heart with wisdom for your people.
May Your Sacrifice
       bring me to self-less living.
May Your Life
       work in me that death by which Your resurrection is known.
May Your Grace
       produce a will-ing-ness to do of your good pleasure.
May Your Lordship
       free me from the bondages of self and make me fully yours.
May Your Offering
       birth the offering of myself unto You.

May You be my Amen.

“Not as though I had already attained…”
Philippians 3:12

Hence the prayer. The cry for Him and the Fire of Him burns within the unfinished life. The desire to bear His image will be in proportion to our seeing of Him. The desire for His fulness is the womb from which true prayers are birthed (John 15:7). “Praying in the Holy Spirit” arises from those who know of a call far greater than the life they now live.
