A Prayer for VISION

When I need a clearer vision of what God want me to be.

DEAR GOD,
     I want to have purpose.  I want to see my way clearly in life; I want to be motivated to do something that counts.  O Lord, I need vision - a picture of where you want me to be at some point in the future.  How do I more clearly see what you created me to accomplish?  It's only when I empty myself of my own dreams that you can fill me with your vision of my future.  Please help me.  May I empty myself by keeping your Word before me each day, by having a clear conscience so I can more clearly hear the prompting of your Spirit, by listening to the godly wisdom of other believers, and by praying - communing directly with you.  Oh, grant me the ability to believe that you have a purpose for me to achieve and a definite place where you want my life to go.  Is there any vision more meaningful that that?

"Open my eyes to see."

Psalm 119:18

A Prayer about MEDITATION

When I want to remain focused in my spiritual walk.

LORD,
     Teach me the discipline of meditating on you and on your Word.  How can I be spiritually focused if I can't control my thoughts?  And how can I ever hope to understand your will for me if I don't listen to what you say?  Help me to push my own thoughts and desires aside and allow your Spirit to speak to me.  Guide my heart and remind me of your presence.  May my thoughts always be fixed on you!

"You will keep in perfect peace all who trust in you,

all whose thoughts are fixed on you!"

Isaiah 26:3
