Rescue me from the dungeon of my iniquity
from the depths of my sin
Pride and self-sufficiency tempt me daily
Teach me to seek reprieve in Your Arms
to trust in Your Strength
Loving God
Break away the stone of my hardened heart
Crush it into gravel and pave a new path
for this broken life
Grind the fired clay of my self-reliance into fine dust
Drench me in Living Water
Remold me on Your Potter’s Wheel
that I will be a vessel of Your Peace
trusting that You are with me
embracing those around me with Your Love
Mighty God
Help me put down the weapons of insecurity
and choose to live boldly in Your Way
Teach me to absorb the impact of sin
be bruised but not broken, frail and strong
safe in Your Promises
turning to You
releasing the pain
Creator God
Let my eyes appreciate the hues of earth and sky
Coax my hands to touch the endless textures of the land
to receive each morsel of food as life-sustaining
Let my ears delight to the sounds of life emerging
the birds of the air sing Your Praises
each breath an affirmation
the aroma of the fruits and flowers is Your Scent
the movement of the wind is Your Caress
Captivate me
