Joyful Surrender Prayer By Praise and Patries a FB creator who makes content primarily for women. I wanted to invite you to pray with me to invite the Holy Spirit and his ministry and his leading into our day. And so as I pray, I'm praying this for you too, but I encourage you to save this so that you from your mouth can pray these scriptures into your day. Good morning, God. I thank you for this new day. I thank you for your mercies that are made new every day. What a gift. What is a man that you are mindful of him, but you are not just mindful of us. I'm reminded this morning of Psalm 37. that says the Lord directs the steps of a godly man and he delights in all his ways. Forgive me for the moment that I choose to lean on my own understanding when the God who created the heavens and the earth delights in me and in all my ways. So today I joyfully submit to you. I joyfully surrender. I will trust in the Lord with all my heart. I will not lean on my own understanding, but in all my ways. I will acknowledge you so that you may direct my steps. I thank you for your promise in Isaiah 30 that says, there will be a voice that comes from behind that says to walk to the left or to the right, who will direct me in the way that I should go. You are a good shepherd, leading me always in paths of righteousness for your name's sake. I ask that you would increase my discernment, me eyes to see and ears to hear your voice. and create in me a heart that is eager to obey your command. I pray, Father God, that you would help me to use my time and my resources wisely today, that I would invest in eternal reward rather than temporary successes. I welcome you, Holy Spirit, to convict me, to deal with me in all my ways, in my attitudes, in my behaviors, in my personalities, in my thought patterns, anything that does not glorify you. Anything that does not reflect the image of your son, remove it. Prune me, Lord, so that I may be transformed into the image of Christ. Your assurance is that if I seek first the kingdom of heaven, then all these things shall be added to me. Everything that pertains to life, the physical, the material, and godliness, my spiritual health and transformation, you have given to me, so I will not worry. about finances or doors of opportunity or relationships I trust in your timing, in your leading, and in your sovereignty over it all. That you are working all things together for the good of those who love you and are called according to your purpose. I thank you, Lord, that you delight in me and in my ways. May I never forget it or take it for granted. I look forward to walking with you today. I pray these things in faith. and with thanksgiving in Jesus name.
