“Set Firmly in Your Love”

     I seek You in all things. Humbly I implore Your name. Oh most high God, I seek You earnestly to be my Lord, the overseer of my life. Not for personal gain, nor earthly possessions. I seek You, Oh Lord for the sustaining of my soul. My heart aches inside to express to others how I feel about You. Love motivates my heart. Only You know the true intent of our hearts. Show me myself and help me to be like Your son, Jesus Christ. You the perfect, unblemished Lamb made the greatest imprint on this world. It is evident in all that surrounds the creation of Thy earth. The moon, stars, planets, the atmospheric air that holds the earth in place. All creation on this earth gives back praise to You. Created by Your hand and precisely set in motion.
     I find myself set in motion according to Your plan. Make known to me Your plan for my life. Obstacles, emotions and difficult feelings force me back. I pray that You set me on a higher ground and make straight the path that leads to You. I search You out in all things. I anticipate Your Presence in my life. I wish to walk in your footsteps. Lead me onward in the truth of Your ways. Soften my heart and remove all self-righteousness, it is not praise I desire, just acknowledgement in Thee, Oh Lord.
     I have loved You always. Your ever-present protection has always been at my side. I desire to trust in You for all things. I long to walk close by Thy side. I set my mind upon higher thoughts and heavenly places. I search for an inward boldness in Thee.
     You are like no other. There are no other gods before Thee. Your ways are higher, and mighty are Thy deeds. Purify my heart, heal my mind and give me a new vision.
     My thoughts are set above and beyond this world. It is You who lead me there, a place where I can go to find peace.  An aura of warm transcending love is upon Thy countenance. No evil persists here, for it is You who Lord’s over it. You shine out and illuminate all that is. I cherish my stay with Thee, Oh Lord. Always remember me in all humility. Take not Thy hand from me.
     I honor, praise, and worship Thee, the Lord, my God almighty.
