To Fear the LORD and Serve Him Faithfully


Only fear the LORD and serve Him faithfully with all your heart; for consider how great are the things He has done for you.



1 Samuel 12:24 (AMPC)



Great and Glorious God,



Let me forever stand in Your presence and tremble with awe at the greatness of Your absolute power and authority—and out of my gratefulness for who You are, and for all that You have done for me, may I faithfully serve You with all that I am.



Let every part of me always be filled with reverential fear, deepest respect, and complete humility, because of the majesty of all that You are—and grant me the undeserved privilege of being used by You in Your glorious plan for us all.



May my gratitude, for what You have done to bring us into relationship with You, continuously flow from my heart in thanksgiving—as it permeates my thoughts, guides my words and determines my actions, with each new day You give to me.



And may I never forget how many truly great things You have done for me, personally—things You did so I could experience for myself the depth of the compassion, mercy, forgiveness, grace, patience, kindness, and gentleness with which You pour out Your love over me.



Let me forever stand in Your presence and tremble with awe at the greatness of Your absolute power and authority—and out of my gratefulness for who You are, and for all that You have done for me, may I faithfully serve You with all that I am.



In the name of Jesus, Amen.
