Jesus, I Need You! PrayerSample

Today's Prayer

"Jesus, I need you! You are my Lord, my God, my King, and my Savior. You are worthy of all of my worship. Help me, by your grace, to know you and love you so deeply and dearly that the things of this world fade away and grow strangely dim in the light of your glory and grace. I want to worship you and you alone. I don’t want to be forged by the culture. I want you to form me and shape me into your image. I am in you; I want to be one with you. Bind my heart to yours, and place your truth deep within me. I not only want to know you and your Word, but I also want to have the desire to forsake my sin and follow you and your Word. Help me to see my sin, mourn it, and forsake it, by your grace. Help me hunger and thirst after righteousness. Enable me to worship you in spirit and in truth!

Jesus, I need you. I must remember that in you I have been blessed with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places. I was chosen by God the Father before the foundation of the world, that I should be holy and blameless before Him. In His love, He purchased me through your precious blood, the blood of His Son. I want to live according to this marvelous truth. I need your power, your grace, and your love so that no matter what life brings my way I will respond to each situation, each person, and each trial the way you would respond—all for your glory. I don’t want to respond merely outwardly, but rather from within. I want to be so close to you, Jesus, so that your Spirit flows forth from me in all that I say and do. May I find my joy in you and glorify you.

Jesus, I need you. Grant me your grace, your mercy, and your lovingkindness to enable me to see you, know you, love you, and walk in step with you. No matter where I am, what I am doing, what I am thinking, what Scripture I am reading, or what song I am singing, may my mind, my energies, and my heart be focused on you and not on me and my circumstances. I want you and you alone. Your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.

Thank you, Lord, that you promise us in your Word that if we ask anything in your name and according to your will you will do it. Jesus, in your name I pray, Amen."
