The Legacy Prayer-1st Written Form

             Sorry about the title it is the best that I can come up with right now. Sorry, also, that I haven't been writing in awhile. I have been wanting to but so much going on and to think about so I could write on here. I've had a strange and hard week this week. I will tell more about it later but God has really been growing me and making me see things. I want to write a prayer about the things I have been learning from Him lately because they are good things to keep praying for everyday. I want it to be like "The Serenity Prayer" but for now the title is all I could come up with. Here it is in it 1st form:

          Daddy,

                You love me, you care about me, and You are calling me. Calling me by asking the questions: Have you talked to Me lately about that?, What am I saying to you about this? By asking those questions You are making a clean heart in me, O God. Renew a right spirit within me. You are not wanting me to conform to this world but to be an appearance of You to this world I'm living in. You are making me see the sins in my own life and all the old things and people I need to get rid of and start anew. I have fought against You long enough but who can blame me for I was born a sinner. You have given me great chances to go live life in every way, shape, and form. I have fought against you night and day. Struggling with my sins, not knowing or wanting to go the way You have for me. Make me start to take root in the lives of people starting with my friends so they know I truly care. Scared to go that way but I shouldn't be because You will be with me. You desire honesty from my heart so You can teach me to be wise in my inmost being. I want to be wise for You. I want to use the wisdom You have given me in everything going on in my life. You have broken me to a million pieces, now let me rejoice again. Restore to me again the joy of Your Salvation, which You have made that clear. Your salvation is everything in my life. My life should depend on it. You would not have died for me if you didn't care for me as much as you do. You showed me how I should love others. Make me willing to obey You. I want to teach Your Ways to people so that they can return to You. Shape a Genesis week within me from the mess and sins in my life. Make my life perfect in You and to bring You Glory, not the other way around.  It has been hard for me because I have never wanted to or could take root in people's lives. I didn't know how but I'm learning now and I want to. You wanted me to come to You with a broken and repentant heart so I know how it truly felt to depend on You. I want to know them for them. I want to listen and not talk about myself. I got so full of myself. Don't know how but I did and was starting to push people away and I don't want that. It is interesting to get to know people and their stories. Make me fully devoted to you first and then to people second and then to me last if I should be devoted to myself at all. I humble myself before You know and just want to know people and tell people about You.  Daddy, I love You and thank you for loving me so much that You gave up Your Son for me.

               In Christ's Love,
                      Amen

Some ideas used from Psalm 51. It describes my life perfectly right now in a strange way. Not so much drama on the outside but on the inside that is how I have felt lately. I know I'm sharing a lot but I just think this is something that needs to be shared because not a lot of people do it these days.
