A Prayer for the Morning
Father God, you are the creator of all things, and the sustainer of all life. Thank you for giving me the gift of life, and thank you for this new day that will be full of opportunities to hear your voice and to walk with you.
I pray that you would cleanse my heart this morning from the failures of yesterday, and that you would restore me to a close fellowship with you. Help me to honor you in all of my decisions today, and grant me victory over the struggles that I return to time after time.
Lord, where my heart is hard this morning, I pray that you would soften it so that I can be shaped by you. Where my heart is shallow, I pray that you would help me grow deeper roots so that I won’t give up when things look like they’re falling apart. And where my heart is crowded, I pray that you would show me how to clear out space for you, so that our relationship doesn’t get lost in the clutter.
Father, grant me a heart today that will be sensitive to the leading of your Holy Spirit, and that will be fruitful for you. I want to hear your voice and understand it. Strengthen me to follow you wherever you lead.
I pray these things in the name of your son, Jesus.
Amen.

Just what the Doctor ordered! (i.e. The Great Physician HIMSELF!)
Hi Clint, Working on slowing down and being plugged in! I hurried over here from WordPress ( http://wordpress.org/support/topic/130614?replies=3 ) to see if I could find out where you put (How2) your “hacked out my own workaround.” And got a smile first, (Van + Vomit = Great Sorrow) Then your prayer that has stopped me in my tracks! I will come back L8r, after I go back and re-read my post and become aware again! http://wonpreachersthoughts.blogspot.com/2008/04/consistency.html
Thanks Clint, I will be back, as I want to read more of your stuff … and maybe ask a question! 
May our Lord JESUS continue to bless you and yours at what HE is having you do!
