Day 16

God heal me

God save me

Please purify my heart

How many times must I sin

Before it is the last

Make Yourself my center

Don’t let me be overwhelmed

Or pulled into temptation

Free me and give me

The will to choose You

Love me and be in my life

I’ve always needed You

Now I’m asking

Come save me

You died for my sins

So I’m continually forgiven

Now die for my flesh

So it is continually broken

Take away its strength

So I can fight to seek You

Thank you for being so good

And forgiving me of my faults

Day 15

Give me strength

I need your power

I’m too weak to go on

I don’t have the motivation

The will to keep going

I love you

I want to serve you

I want to obey your commandments

But I can’t without you

Help me rely on you

Free my spirit

Give me peace and rest

I need you now

Day 14

God remind me of Your truth

Of Your promises

And covenants

Give me truth to stand on

Something solid

That when I speak Your truth

Your peace will come over me

Not “God I hope you do this for me”

But I would speak in power

Saying you will do this

Because you promised in your word

You will work all things together

For the good of those who love you

You will work through me

Especially in my weakness

The power isn’t in me

But in yourself

I just have to exist

And you will use me

For the glory of my savior

To reveal the father

Through his son

You sent your son

To die for all our sins

In sinful flesh

So that we may live

Holy and pleasing to God living in purity

Through the power

Of your holy spirit

Whom you gave to us

As a gift of freedom

So we might not be weak

In this consuming flesh

But we would have strength

Fighting temptations

With your power not ours

Thank you for being faithful

And always providing what I need

You may not take me where I want to go

But you do take me where I need to go

And for that I am eternally grateful

Day 13

Give me the strength

To stand up for myself

I need Your power

Your grace and truth

I want to please others

Not offend or hurt

I need to say no

To stand up for myself

Especially my morals

The boundaries I’ve set down

I need to stand for them

Not ditch them

As soon as they are inconvenient

For someone else

I need to stand for what I believe

And never compromise

I’m too unstable

Too easily moved

God be my rock

To stand on and build my house

Remind me to stand on truth

On the ideals I’ve placed on myself

Simple and easy

If only I couldn’t be swayed

God give me the courage

And freedom to ignore what they think

So I can think for myself

They said freedom of the soul

Is to have stability of opinion

Not unchanging

But only changed by truth

Not peer pressure

Or inconvenience

Give me that freedom of the soul

Not to fear standing up for myself

Because that might be looked down on

I want to be a real Christian

And live a life with morals unmoved

Living by God’s standard

Not the world’s

Day 12

We went to the enemy’s camp and we took back what he stole from me

My joy and hope

You took back for me

The enemy stole it

Now he is under my feet

You lift me up

To reflect Your glory again

Not just this once

But over and over

You renew me

Filling my spirit with Yours

When I’m drained and tired

Or just too long away from You

I am picked back up

And placed next to You

On Your throne

Shining in Your presence

I know I’ll fall away

But when I do

I just ask for strength

And You will hold my hands

Lifting me out

Of the pit I’ve fallen into

Making me new

I am constantly forgiven

Of all my sin

And cleansed of this sinful flesh

But it takes a conscious effort

To ask for help

Because I can’t pick myself off the floor

I’ve fallen and I can’t get up

Without Your help

Thank you

Day 11

My Father and King

I praise You now

To You I sing

On knee I bow

From above You came

To save us all

For the dead and lame

You broke sins wall

Through joy comes tears

Overwhelming my heart

Away go the fears

Shooting out like a dart

From you comes all love

Covering us we are blessed

Setting down like a dove

From You nothing less

Day 10

God You are my hope

When I’m stressed and tired

I have no one else

I can look to for help

I need Your strength

To not worry any more

To let You take on

All of my tribulations

Help me to trust

You know what I need

You hold me in your hand

Guiding and holding

Never letting go

Turn my face

So I’m looking at You

Not the things of this world

They will still be there

When I look back

For now I want to see You

When I look in Your eyes

I can’t help but be calm

You don’t have to say a word

And I know You are taking care of me

I am safe in Your arms

There’s no one who can love me like You do

Please hold my gaze

I don’t want to look back

I want to only look at You

When I’m going to school

Getting on the bus

Meeting new people

Buying a car

Comforting a friend

In all of this

Don’t let me take my eyes off You

As I walk through this world

Free me of stress and worry

Only let it come back

To remind me

I’m not focused on You

May it be short and quick

As I look to You

For my rest and peace

You are my joy

No one makes me laugh like You

All the jokes we share

You know what I need

When I’m feeling down

You fill me with laughter

My precious Savior

I’m saved from sin

But most of all

I’m saved from a life without You

Thank You for never leaving me

I am so blessed

I Love You
