Hearing, Trusting, Walking—Giving Myself to You


Let me hear of your unfailing love each morning,
    for I am trusting you.
Show me where to walk,
    for I give myself to you.

—Psalm 143:8 (NLT)


O LORD of Love That Never Fails,


With each new morning, help me to listen and hear how You love me, and respond to Your love—by offering my love in return, by giving myself to You.


Too often, I have rushed into a new day—self-centeredly pursuing my own plans and ideas—without first spending time to listen for what You would say to me, to hear of Your unfailingly love for me.

Help me not to forget how critical it is that I open the Bible—Your love story written to me—and allow You to speak to me, by Your Holy Spirit, as I read—and as You reveal—the Truth that is waiting there for me.

As I study Your Word each morning, help me to hear the message of Your unfailing loving-kindness for me and teach me of the goodness of Your ways—so that I will be drawn into an ever-closer relationship with You and my faith will be made increasingly stronger.

As I come before You in prayer, help me submit my will to Yours alone and allow You to show me the ways that I should go.

Help me to follow the best path for me—where I can experience Your strength, Your plan, Your provision, Your protection, Your peace, Your joy, but most of all Your unfailing love for me.


With each new morning, help me to listen and hear how You love me, and respond to Your love—by offering my love in return, by giving myself to You.


In the name of Jesus, Amen.
