Here’s
a prayer of confession and commitment from Jeff’s
Blog. It was inspired by Psalm 1.
Prayer
(inspired by Psalm 1)
Holy
God,
we
come before your throne and admit
that
most of the time we are too busy singing and praying
and
feeling good and feeling bad
and
feeling so-so
to
stop and listen for your tiny, little whispers.
In
your word you paint for us a picture of full and abundant life,
life
that can only be had by drinking your living water,
knowing
you not as a title, but intimately, a mystery….
We
pray that our lives would be planted near you –
that
we would send our roots deep into your word and your life,
that
we would draw nourishment from you,
and
that with the life you give we would in turn
provide
shelter and comfort and blessing
to
whoever comes under our branches.
We
pray that we would not walk in the counsel of the wicked,
nor
stand in the way of sinners,
nor
abide in the house of the scornful,
but
that our delight would be in you,
in
your truth, in your grace, now and forevermore.
