Читать книгу Peace Be Still. - David Jr. McDermott - Страница 19

Lord God, Heavenly Father, your son, our Saviour Lord Jesus Christ showed the greatest act of humility when he fell to earth to die on the cross of Calvary. He showed us the path of righteousness and the way to follow your will completely with a humble, forgiving, understanding heart towards our fellowmen.

May I kneel at the foot of his cross and pray through him that I am a sinner and that I need his grace for your forgiveness. May I absorb his ways and submit completely to your will. As I kneel before Jesus’ cross in humility, I bow to your wisdom, sovereignty and power, discerning my own emptiness without you. Through the gift of the Holy Spirit may the lowly one abide in my heart and soul for eternity with his grace.

I submit in humility to you but I know that it is through the Holy Spirit that you work to end my selfish nature. Come forth Holy Spirit like a sword in battle and defeat the enemy of that nature where I cannot. Slay every degree of pride in me, in my thoughts, words and deeds. May my heart and nature so become transformed to Jesus’ divine nature, even through my trials and tribulations. Clothe me completely Holy Spirit in God’s will that I may walk this life to magnify only God’s glory. May I become as a trusting child and show only his love in my humility.

Lord, you have ordained that those who have humbled themselves shall be exalted with more grace. It is the grace to become an empty vessel to self-will to be so filled with Jesus’ grace to fulfil your will. May we count our blessings when we receive that grace in our soul. Amen.
