Direction

Heavenly Father,

To you alone do I cry out this morning. You are the God who hears the prayers of your people. You have blessed me far more abundantly than I can even understand. I can recount your good deeds eternally and not exhaust them. Your light shines forth in the darkness of this fallen world. Your holiness is so great that it spreads to your people, setting us apart to walk the path you have ordained. All of creation bows to your will. Your voice commands the galaxies, stars, and planets. Your directive regulates the spin of electrons and vibrations of atoms. All things great and small are subject to loving direction. You have set up the laws that govern all we can perceive and all we cannot. I know you know all I need; you know it much better than I do. You know all that I want; you know which things are good for me and things that would ultimately lead to my harm. So I submit myself to you. Give me the strength to choose to follow you. Let me not yield to temptations to pick my own desires over your commands. Give me the wisdom to recognize good and evil by the power of your Holy Spirit.

In the name of your greatest gift. Amen.
