heart, mind and soul

Lord, I want to love You with All my heart, mind and soul.

I lay down everything because I want to receive

what You have for me, nothing more and nothing less.

Help me to walk in Your perfect plans.

Let Your will be done. Amen.

First line inspired by Matthew 22:37.

I want to…..

Lord, I want to learn how to truly respect You,

to tremble in holy awe over Who You are.

Lord, I desire to learn how to respect and revere Your name,

the name which no other name can possibly compare with.

Lord, I want to learn how to trust You,

to completely and utterly rely upon You.

(Inspired by Isaiah 50:10)

today I…….

Lord, today I declare that through Jesus

sin NO longer has any control over me, hallelujah!

NO longer will I follow after my sinful nature,

NO longer will I give in to temptation.

Holy Spirit, today I invite You into my life to take control,

as You do release to me Your Life and Peace I pray.

I NO longer live under any obligation

to do what my sinful nature urges me to do.

Through the power of the Hoy Spirit

I put to death the deeds and desires of my sinful nature.

Holy Spirit, today I ask You to wipe clean

my past mistakes and failings.

Where I have caused harm or injury

I pray Your healing power flows.

Let Your mercy and grace flow in and through my life.

Lord, today I ask You to mould me and shape me,

make me more like Jesus I pray, Amen.


Inspired by Romans 8:3-4,6,12-13 NLT.

I ask…..

Lord God, I ask that You would send out Your light.

I request to be filled

with the brightness of Your daybreak!

Lord God, I ask that You would send out Your truth.

I request to be filled with the rays of revelation-truth!

Let Your light and truth comfort,

guide me and lead me into Your shining presence.

How I long to stand in Your burning presence

upon Your holy mountain.

I long to walk through Your many sanctuaries of holiness.

I desire to pour out my praise to You in Your tabernacle.

Inspired by Psalm 43:3

I believe……

Lord, I believe You go before me to prepare the way,

just as You prepare me.
Lord, I believe You go before me and kindly lead the way,

like You lead me.

Lord, I believe You’re with me,

right beside me to help me each and every day,

just as You promise.
Lord, I believe You walk beside me

and graciously help me every moment of the day,

like You declare.
Lord, I believe You go behind me

to heal every mistake I’ve ever made,

just as You correct me.

Lord, I believe that when I pray

You heal the shame of my past,

like You heal me.

Lord, I believe that when I cry out

You take away every ounce of pain,

just like You have done.
Lord, I believe You alone can redeem every error

and make ALL things brand new,

like You renew me!

Inspired by Psalms 139:5 AMP, NLT, NKJV and TPT

take me into Your arms

Oh my Lord I am SO weary, weak and worn down.

Will You please take me into Your arms

and hold me close to Your chest?

The weight of all that I hold dear is heavy Lord

but I don’t know how to truly and fully surrender

all of my hopes and my dreams.

Oh my Lord I am SO weary, weak and worn down.

Will You please take me into Your arms

and hold me close to Your chest?

The sorrow of disappointment hangs heavy over me

like a dark cloud, it drags my heart down,

causing me to lose my focus

and walk around stooped over.

Oh my Lord I am SO weary, weak and worn down.

Will You please take me into Your arms

and hold me close to Your chest?

The heavens declare that Your faithfulness is great,

it is beyond my understanding.

Every voice that knows You states that Your faithfulness

is as sure as the dawn.

But oh my Lord the night is SO long and dark,

I fear that I’ll never see Your colours bursting through.

Oh my Lord I am SO weary, weak and worn down.

Will You please take me into Your arms

and hold me close to Your chest?

Please come my Saviour, come my closest Friend,

take me into Your arms once more,

let Your Truth and Love wash over me,

hold me until the breakthrough comes,

hold me until the promises manifest,

come just like the dawning light of day.

Hold me Lord and never let go!

strong in the Lord

O Lord, please grant for my mourning Your joy.

Take away my clothes of sorrow

and pour over me Your oil of joy

to cleanse and revive me.

Then wrap me in Your garment of joy

so that I may become one

of Your trees of righteousness.

May I be strong in the Lord,

distinguished by Your integrity,

and magnificent because of my relationship with You.

May I be grafted into You and planted deeply

 so that You alone are glorified and praised.

Inspired by Isaiah 61:3

I ask You to…….

Lord, I ask You to teach me Your ways

so that I walk in Your truth

Lord, I ask You to teach me Your Truth

so that it shines through ALL that I do.

Lord, I ask You to unite my heart with Yours

so that I can honour and obey You in ALL that I do.

May I live my life with awe-inspired reverence and submissive wonder,

constantly amazed by You and Your great faithfulness.

(Inspired by Psalm 86:11)
