A Servant of Christ

 

Am I now trying to win the approval of human beings, or of God? Or am I trying to please people? If I were still trying to please people, I would not be a servant of Christ.

 

—Galatians 1:10 (NIV)

 

 

Heavenly Father,

 

May I always seek the approval of my Savior and Lord, Jesus Christ—the One to whom I choose to surrender myself, as a servant, forever! 

 

Forgive me, for too many times I have sought the approval others—allowing what they think to determine my decisions, and thus, the course of my life—while disregarding what is required of me to win Your approval, O Lord my God.

 

I know that to win Your approval, I must completely set aside my own will—breaking down all my fleshly impulses to act independently of the One who created me for His purposes—and live every moment of my life in service to Christ.

Each day, let me surrender my life anew—signing away my own “perceived rights” to my life and living in absolute surrender to Christ—so that I may be found to be a true bondservant to the One to whom I owe everything.

 

May I always seek the approval of my Savior and Lord, Jesus Christ—the One to whom I choose to surrender myself, as a servant, forever! 

 

In the name of Jesus, Amen.

That I Might Please the LORD

 May the words of my mouth

    and the meditation of my heart

be pleasing to you,

    O LORD, my rock and my redeemer.

—Psalm 19:14 (NLT)

 

Father God,

May this simple prayer—and the high and holy standard it sets forth—be true in my life today, so that You would be pleased!

Let my heart be so filled with gratitude and love for You, that I would always allow Your love—both for me and for others—to form every word that I say and permeate my every thought! 

Let every word that escapes from my lips, go forth with Your blessing—and be released to Your delight, for Your glory, honor, and praise!

Let every thought that I invite to dance within my head and dwell within my heart carry Your approval—and bring You great pleasure!

Help me live in the truth that my life is not my own to live, but is to be lived for the One who is my Rock and my Redeemer, who redeemed me from the consequence of my sin—which was certain death—and gave me a new life, with You, forever!

May this simple prayer—and the high and holy standard it sets forth—be true in my life today, so that You would be pleased!

In the name of Jesus, Amen.

To Be a Bond-Servant of Christ

 

 

Am I now trying to win the approval of human beings, or of God? Or am I trying to please people? If I were still trying to please people, I would not be a servant of Christ.

—Galatians 1:10 (NIV)

Heavenly Father,

May the only approval that I seek, be the approval of my Savior and Lord, Jesus Christ—the One to whom I choose to surrender myself, as a bond-servant, forever!

Forgive me, for too many times I have sought the approval of my fellow human beings—allowing what they think to determine my decisions, and thus, the course of my life—all the while disregarding what it takes for me to win Your approval, O Lord my God.

I know that to win Your approval, I must completely set my own will aside—breaking down any of my fleshly desires to act independently from the One who created me for His purposes—and live every moment of my life in service to Christ, so that I can bring glory, honor, and praise to Him.

Each day, let me surrender my life anew—signing away my own “perceived rights” to my life and living in absolute surrender to Christ—so that I may be found to be a true bond-servant to the One to whom I owe everything.

May the only approval that I seek, be the approval of my Savior and Lord, Jesus Christ—the One to whom I choose to surrender myself, as a bond-servant, forever!

In the name of Jesus, Amen.
