O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me out of the body of this death? I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then I myself with the mind serve the law of God; but with the flesh the law of sin.
Romans 7:24-25
O Lord my God, I just wonder is that really possible for me to cut my hands off? Or can I just terminate my mind, make my eyes blind? At the same time I know this is possible, wishing it earnestly to happen so that I’ll be free from committing the sins I’m sinning, yet I know that I would not really want that to happen, as fear of uncertainty, and partly afraid of losing the chance to claim victory against these lusts that entangled me and minds that bring me into captivity of flesh.
How weary I am my Lord! Have mercy on me! The minds are wrestling against one another, one saying it doesn’t matter, just do what you like; another saying I should obey the law, to be holy is what You call me. But that task seems too big for me, looking at the giant around me, forget that it is not by my might nor strength nor will that I could face them, but by Your grace and Spirit I confront them.
Lord, have Your will be done on me, may Your glory be shown through me. Cleanse me, purify me with the blood of the Lamb, that on cross He carried my sins and sacrifice Himself to please You, to reconcile You with us, so that I can come before You, justified, sanctified, be acceptable, lovable before You. Lord I pray that You continue to carry me on Your wings, I know I am stubborn, many times not teachable, but I pray that You would never abandon me, and still guide me through the valley of shadow, may Your rod and staff comfort me. In the Lamb of God, my Savior, Jesus’ mighty name I pray, Amen.

It is not our experiences which in the final analysis change us, it is always and only our responses to those experiences. ~~ Elisabeth Elliot
O Lord our sovereign God, I praise You for Your work in my life. You know, things didn’t happen the way I always thought of, for the best or the worst. But it is glad to know that You still in control of everything, seated on the throne, You reign over all regardless of time, space, person involved – there is no single piece moment or space where You gain no control over it.
Lord, I pray that You grant me the wisdom, know how to response to whatsoever happening around. I pray that You empower me, give me strength to endure, to withstand all the challenges in my life. I also pray that You continue to lead me, enhance my faith to follow You as Your idea is not to curse but to bless. Guide me my Lord, so that I always fear You and obey Your will, less that I go astray from Your righteous path.
Lord, have my life, and have it all. In Jesus’ most holiest name, Amen.

O Lord, by all they dealings with us,
Whether of joy or pain, of light or darkness,
Let us be brought to Thee.
Let us value no treatment of Thy grace
Simply because it makes us happy
Or because it makes us sad,
Because it gives us or denies us what we want;
But may all that Thou sendest us bring us to Thee,
That, knowing Thy perfectness,
We may be sure in every disappointment that
Thou art still loving us,
And in every darkness that Thou are still enlightening us,
And in every enforced idleness that Thou art still using us;
Yea, in every death that Thou art still giving life,
As in His death Thou didst give life to Thy Son,
Our Savior, Jesus Christ, Amen.
~~ Philip E. Howard
O Lord helps me to do Your will.
You know the struggles that I struggle, but I want to do Your will, in spite of all the temptation, environmental influence, my weakness, lust, evil thoughts against You.
But Lord my God, save me, through faith and by Your grace, I commit myself unto You. Be with me always, and make sure I’m always with You too.
In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Blessed be the Lord, who daily beareth our burden, even the God who is our salvation. Selah God is unto us a God of deliverances; and unto JEHOVAH the Lord belong the issues from death.
Psalms 68:19-20
Everyday You bear our burden, thus saith the Lord. O Lord my God, I pray to you here again, asking You to lead me, guide me, take me, to where beyond my ability and strength and will could ever reach, so that I could reflect Your mighty name, so that people may see Your glory through me.
Lord, show some mercies! Be gracious to me! For I’m a flattering child, weak and fool, in almost every part of my life. Should I commit the same fault always? Do I need to repeat the same mistake everyday? Should I just fall into the same pit daily? Oh Lord my God, save me! For You are my deliverer, my savior, my Lord, my God.
Dear heavenly Father, deliver me from the sins I had made, from the temptations I unable to run away, from the wrong doing that I could not stop not doing them. I am weak and lame before You: save me. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Amazing Grace that Leads thru dangers
Thru many dangers, toils and snares
I have already come;
‘Tis grace hath brought me safe thus far,
And grace will lead me home.
~~ Isaac Watts 3rd stanza
It is not that I won’t fall, or that I’m strong enough to overcome all the dangers.
Instead, we always fall into snares, sometimes set up by our enemies, in other times we choose to step into it ourselves.
But You never let us go. You still hold us closely to Your palm. Even when we try to hurt ourselves, the people around us, who we care and who cares about us, and even we try to hurt You. However we tried, Your still loving hands, hold us tide and gently bring us back to Your heart.
Lord, thank You, for the grace that we undeserved. For such a sinful creature we are, why bother us, why not just leave us alone? But Your great love demands our obedience, our offering, ourselves. And here we are, because Your grace sustained us, and lead us back where we should be, going where You wants us to go.
Praise You, for Your unconditional love, that forgives whatever sins we commit, to bring us under Your wings. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
