“The human spirit is the lamp of the Lord, searching every inmost part” (Proverbs 20:27).
Bring Your Holy Spirit into communion with my human spirit. Abide in me, as I abide in You. Let Your light search my heart and soul, revealing all I need to let go and give over to You. …
My heart and soul
Always try and control
All my thoughts and desires
Until I’m sick and tired
Of living my life in my own wisdom and power
But Lord, You know
If I could just let go
I’d have all I need
And I would be freed
To live my life in You
Yes, Lord. Thank You for this new song You’re writing in my spirit to express the cry of my heart. I need You to keep changing my heart, more and more every day. I want to think more like You, desire more like You, be more like You.
You’re conforming me into Your image (Romans 8:29). You’re transforming me by the renewing of my mind (Romans 12:2). And I know I have far to go and get frustrated often along the way. I’m sure that even in the goodness and greatness of Your perfection, You must get a little frustrated with me too, every now and then (Genesis 6:6).
But You are always with me— encouraging me, correcting me, molding and shaping me, guiding and directing me. I’ve come to know it’s a journey and a process—a daily journey and a life-long process. And though it’s already done in heaven, I want it also to be done here on earth, here in my everyday thoughts and everyday desires, on earth as it is in heaven. I don’t want to just believe it by faith in theory, I also want to live it by faith in reality.
One day, it will be all well and good when it’s all been said and done. But as best as I can and all by Your grace, I want to do it and say it well and good now, to honor You in these days You’ve given me to grow up into maturity on my journey through this world. Lord, help me. And I know, Lord, that You do—more than I’ll ever know. In Jesus’ name I pray, Amen.
