You are great and almighty, yet how often I fail to acknowledge you. My body is your temple, yet I so often act as if it belongs to me; going where I want to go, doing what I want to do, and don't give a thought to Your awesome presence and the Father's will. I am so sorry for the way I mistreat, dishonor, and sin against you.
Spirit, I am completely helpless without you! If you don't help me see the infinite value of Christ, I will seek to glorify trash. If you don't help me set my mind on things above, I will be taken by the passing pleasures of this world. If you don't convict me of sin, I will become calloused to it and seek to worship the creature rather than my Creator. If you do not keep me from sin I will wander into the basest of evil. I need you more than my next heart-beat or breath; let me never forget!
Thank you so much for praying for me when I cannot find the words. Thank you for your conviction when I sin. Thank you for the strength you give me every day to fight the sins that would crush me if I fought on my own. Thank you for enlarging my spiritual mind to see deeper into your never ending depths.
Holy Ghost, please take me deeper into the depths of the Father's grace and Christ's sacrifice. Please strike my heart with the awesome reality of the gospel every day. Please sanctify me to be more like Christ.
I pray all of these things in Jesus' name and because of His sacrifice,
For Your Glory
Seth
