Every Good Thing Begins With...

in the name of The Father, and of The Son, and of the Holy Spirit.

Dear God,
These past few years I've lived and prayed for my wants and dreams. Help me to do your will, not mine. Help me to do what you're blessing. Allow me to be tools in your hands, to be used for your good purposes. Guide me and strengthen me in those times I feel lost, hurt, angry, or disheartened. Help me abandon my agenda and accept yours for my life. Help me to be pure of heart and an example of you.
Amen.

"This is my prayer in the desert, when all that's within me feels dry. This is my prayer in my hunger and need. My God is the God who provides. And this is my prayer in the fire, in weakness in trial, or pain. This is a faith proved more worth than gold, so refine me Lord through the flame."
