Unedited prayer / confessing, repenting, & seeking God

My words and reputation out shine the reality of my actions.  This is pride.  I confess it and turn from it.  Father forgive me, wash me, and make me - these are things you do and I suit my life to this work.  I confess that works with out faith is empty religion and self righteousness and faith without works is dead/void nothingness.  You are a rewarder of those who diligently seek and follow You.  May my prayers be about who you are, 

may my mind/heart be filled with not just the letter and ideas from your Word but the life and full of life and truth sanctifying my words and deeds, making the depths if me holy as you are holy.  I am yours I confess it and acknowledge it within my own soul.  It is you alone that makes me holy and you have been faithfully transforming my life for a purpose. I confess with my mind thoughts and words that you are God alone and faithfully complete all the works you begin.  I choose again this morning to do my part, to abide (dwell, have my heart mind thoughts deeds work-work, service to/for my family, my everything as much as I understand what that is, live take up residence in) the Name and truth and light of who you are.  To as diligently as I know how, to as humbly as I know how, seek You and acknowledge you in Spirit and in Truth, in every situation, in every thought.  Thank you Jesus for your perfect life lived in the flesh in our place, thank you for giving your perfect God-man  self as the spotless acceptable and costly sacrifice, thank you for the resurrected life you live and give to those of us who believe, thank you for sending the Holy Spirit to teach, reveal, help, comfort, encourage, council, and faithful advocate for each true and surrendered follower/disciple of yours. I know you have set before me a race to be run.  I know that discipline and a sound mind are a gift and fruit of abiding in your Spirit, that your spirit dwells in me, continue your work to produce your endurance and persevere not just to achieve some man made concept of survival but to attain and make my own the surpassing greatness of life in You.  Jesus, I sincerely ask, that your fullness would fill me (this earthen vessel) to a "fuller-ness" and that same fullness (unhindered/unfiltered/unpolluted) of you would overflow out of (through) my life (like running filling water flows over the top and out every crack of a cup) into every situation, task, prayer request, challenge, ... Yes into everything today.  It is a lot that I am asking.  But you are able to do so much more than I can imagine and ask.  Thank you my Lord for listening to this prayer as I have taken time to write it out to you.  

Thank you for washing me and renewing and transforming my mind.  May I follow in your footsteps Jesus being ever listening to the Father, ever obedient to your Spirit, and ever determined and focused on serving and praying for others.  May those words of love, those deeds of service and every prayer be according to your Name (in Spirit and Truth).

Lord of Justice and Mercy help us to prayer for the redemption of our nation, give us boldness to speak of the good news of the gospel, and teach us to make disciples, as we are your disciple.  Give a your strength to those being  tortured, imprisoned, and killed for their faith in you and for sharing their faith with others.  God of all comfort hold and comfort the family and friends if those completing your suffering in their bodies.  May your comfort strengthen their hope in you alone.  God you are the great I AM according to Your Name (all that you are) heal, redeem, comfort, provide, give wisdom, give grace and favor, grant mercy, forgive, renew minds, restore soundness of thinking, bring us and our families and communities to our senses and turn our hearts toward you.  Sharpen your Word in our pastors and teachers today.  

So many needs run through my thoughts Lord - I humbly cast them before you and relinquish them into your almighty hands.

I love you God!  I love you!!! 

I am your beloved - WOW!! What a lavish faithful love you are always giving me. 

Be pleased and honored today with my prayers, my praises, my deeds, my thoughts, my words, and most of all Lord, with humble service of others.  

In the Name above all Name, Jesus Christ, my Lord -

Amen
