1 John 3:1 Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God:..

Father God…

Help me to temper my self view not only with the glorious picture of me as your purchased possession but as the great enemy of your divine will.

Help me father God obtain the temperance needed to see what can become of my life if I dwell on the desires of my heart apart from yours.

Teach me my greatest weaknesses so I can in turn cling to you for strength.

Father my inward desire is off center.

I have place to highly in my heart reasonings that are soulish and self edifying.

Please continue to tether my eyes to the same cross on which Jesus died.

Please allow my pleasure to have a place of congruency alongside Your will and within Your heart.

I thank you father that it pleased you to bruise Him.

I thank you Lord Jesus that you ever liveth to make intercession for me.

I thank you Spirit that you intercede on my behalf in prayer and provide me with divine unction and all the knowledge of Him who died for me.

May my life as your Son and even the very steps I take today be an offering of the similar selfless obedience you revealed to me at the cross… Amen
