Teach Me...for You are My God



Teach me to do your will,
    for you are my God;
may your good Spirit
    lead me on level ground.

—Psalm 143:10 (NIV)


Gracious LORD,


Teach me to do Your will and by Your Spirit lead me on level ground—for You are my God, the only One who can unfold before me Your very best plans and purposes for my life.


Help me to overcome my great tendency to be self-centered and self-willed—to do what I want to do and only then look to You to bless my plans.

Show me how to set aside my own will and trust You first to direct my steps according to Your will—knowing that only by following Your will for me can I ever hope to bring You honor and glory with my life.

Lead me, by Your good and gracious Holy Spirit, so I might walk uprightly along the level ground of willing obedience that You have called me to travel.


Teach me to do Your will and by Your Spirit lead me on level ground—for You are my God, the only One who can unfold before me Your very best plans and purposes for my life.


In the name of Jesus, Amen.
