Search for the LORD and for his strength;
continually seek him.
Remember the wonders he has performed,
his miracles, and the rulings he has given,
you children of his servant Abraham,
you descendants of Jacob, his chosen ones.—Psalm 105:4-6 (NLT)
Heavenly
Father,
When I feel like I have lost my way, when I no longer feel Your strength in me, help me to search for You—to continually seek You out—that I may renew my strength in You and rediscover Your will, Your plans, Your purposes for me!
Help me to remember that,
just as You choose the descendants of Abraham and Jacob as Your own, You choose
me and received me as Your own—when I accepted the freely offered invitation of
the Holy Spirit to find my salvation through Your Son, Jesus Christ.
And help me to remember
all the wonders that You have performed, Your miracles, and the rulings and
instructions that You have given—both as recorded in the Bible and as written
upon the pages of my own life.
But don’t just help me to
remember, also help me to respond to that love You so graciously demonstrated
to me, by believing You and showing my gratitude to You in faithful obedience
to everything You have taught me—to everything that You have asked me to do.
Help me to seek out Your
strength—that strength that comes from the Word and by the Holy Spirit, which
by Your grace and mercy are alive and active in me, to give me the power to
follow after You in obedience.
Then help me to use that
strength to search for and recognize more of You in my life—so that I would see
what You are doing right now and remain carefully watchful for what You will do
in all the rest of my days here on earth, until You take me to be forever with
You there.
When I feel like I have lost my way, when I no longer feel Your strength in me, help me to search for You—to continually seek You out—that I may renew my strength in You and rediscover Your will, Your plans, Your purposes for me!
In the name of Jesus,
Amen.
