Dear Lord; Happy Tuesday Father!<\/p>\n

Heavenly Father,<\/p>\n

I come to You today not in pride,<\/p>\n

But from humility.<\/p>\n

Not in stability,<\/p>\n

But from within my brokenness.<\/p>\n

Not as a man,<\/p>\n

But as Your Child.<\/p>\n

Walk with me Father,<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

And be my Strength.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

I seek Your presence Lord;<\/p>\n

Your divine touch that rights my troubled spirit,<\/p>\n

Your radiant visage that lights my path,<\/p>\n

Your comforting embrace that soothes my anxious heart,<\/p>\n

And Your guiding hand to lead me.<\/p>\n

Walk with me Father,<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

And be my strength.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

I\u2019m tired Lord,<\/p>\n

And weary,<\/p>\n

And burdened,<\/p>\n

And fearful;<\/p>\n

And Your voice seems quieter than usual.<\/p>\n

Help me silence that dissent Lord,<\/p>\n

And free my heart from those things that obscure You from me.<\/p>\n

Walk with me Father,<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

And be my strength.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Draw me to You Lord;<\/p>\n

Allow me haven in Your tender mercy,<\/p>\n

That I might shed my soul of earthly trials,<\/p>\n

And focus on Your will.<\/p>\n

Though the road before me twists and turns,<\/p>\n

My Traveling Companion knows the true path.<\/p>\n

Walk with me Father,<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

And be my strength.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Amen.<\/p>\n
