A Soul Searching Prayer

Does my life please You as I live each day?
Do I glorify You, Lord, in everything I say?
Do I show others Your love in all that I do,
When others see me do they also see You?

 
Are my motives pure, I know that You see.
Would I want other Christians to be like me?
You understand my thoughts, You're the only one who can,
When I'm all by myself am I a God pleasing man(person)?

 
I don't mean am I perfect for without Christ I know I'm not,
But am I doing doubtful things hoping that I won't be caught?
Are there any hidden issues in the depth of my heart,
That as a born again Christian I should bid to depart?


If there's any thought or action that's bringing You shame,
Help me to surrender it in Jesus' blessed name.
I don't want to continue anything that displeases You,
And I want to do everything that You would have me do.


Dear God, in Your wisdom,
You know how to keep me straight,
If You ever see me straying correct me before too late.
By Your grace You have saved me and forgiven all my sin,
I love You, I thank You, and I praise You, amen.

Sometimes things happen we don’t understand
And we begin to question why...
Heartache, pain, disappointment and sorrow
Just do not pass us by.
Even though we’re committed to God,
And led by His own hand,
Trouble and trials still come our way,
And it’s all within His plan.
Our Saviour Himself faced hardship on earth,
As He was tempted, tested and tried.
He suffered great pain and agony,
And on the old rugged cross He died.
But He arose victorious over sin,
Death and the grave,
And He lives forever -
Our souls to save.
So, when troublesome times come
And we have burdens to bear,
Let us always remember our Lord is there,
To comfort, strengthen, and be our guide,
As we follow His word,
And in Him abide....
And where we can’t trace Him
In what comes our way,
Let us simply trust Him
As we walk each day,
Knowing He’s fully in control,
Working all things out
For the good of our soul.
Then as we’re tempted to question why...
When things happen we don’t understand,
Let us on Him completely rely,
Knowing all is within His plan.

"According to the eternal purpose which he purposed
in Christ Jesus our Lord"
(Ephes. 3:11)

Again, my friends, please let me know if the graphics show up. That way I can continue to use Dr Jack's graphics.

I hope you all have a wonderful week and make time in your busy schedules to just be still in God's word. Much love!!
