Prayer for my Thoughts

Lord, please help me to control my mind,
Let my thoughts be only good and kind.
Do my prayers show a faith that’s strong?
Forgive me when I have prayed wrong.

Help me take captive every worry and fear,
To remember that you are always near.
Let me never get to the point of no hope,
Give me the endurance and strength to cope.

 

Help me be mindful of my every thought,
So I’ll think only of the things that I ought.
Show me which thoughts really do matter.
And which ones are lies from the accuser.

Help me to recognize any wrong filters,
That corrupts every thought that enters.
Reveal the purpose in my circumstance,
So my thoughts will have a good response.

Help me to think of only what is pure and true,
As I choose to surrender and put my trust in you.
Teach me not to bend with the world to conform,
Like a caterpillar to a butterfly, let me transform.

Lord, I surrender every thought to your control,
Help me tear down the lies that corrupt my soul.
I will reject thoughts that distract or discourage.  

I look forward to being transformed into your image.

On my knees

 On my knees, I find God’s presence,
On my knees, my heart surrenders.
On my knees, my spirit fills with praise,
For its down here where my will obeys.

On my knees, I feel your loving touch,
On my knees, the pain doesn’t hurt as much.
On my knees, I am filled with your power.
As my heart opens to you, like a flower.

On my knees, my chains are unshackled.
On my knees, my prideful heart is humbled,
On my knees, my pleas and prayers are heard,
As my spirit soars high and my hope is stirred.

On my knees, is where the battle begins,
On my knees, is where I repent of my sins.
On my knees, I find your grace and mercy,
It’s where I run to in every emergency.

On my knees, I feel your forgiveness,
On my knees, my brokenness finds wholeness.
On my knees, is where I need to be,
For it’s down here that God sets me free.
