In those days Israel had no king; all the people did whatever seemed right in their own eyes.
—Judges 21:25 (NLT)
My LORD and My King,
May You remain forever my only LORD and King, so that the way I conduct my life will be according to Your Truth and not according to my own opinion.
Help me to seek Your perfect will, rather than my selfish will; Your eternal plans, rather than my fleeting plans; Your righteous desires, rather than my corrupt desires; and Your pure motives, rather than my sinful motives—so that my heart would be fully Yours and I would reflect the character of Christ.
Keep me from the chaos that comes from deciding for myself what is right and what is wrong—based on my own limited and flawed intellect and perspective—and give me the faith to trust You for the best answers, knowing Your intellect is infinitely beyond my own and Your perfect perspective is limitless.
As I commit to obediently follow Your instructions—as revealed to my spirit by the Holy Spirit through Your Word—let my actions reflect Your standards for morality, mercy, forgiveness, grace, justice, truth, and above all, love.
May You remain forever my only LORD and King, so that the way I conduct my life will be according to Your Truth and not according to my own opinion.
In the name of Jesus, Amen.
