My Emphasis
Jesus Christ, when He came to this Earth, sought not His own will but the will of the Father. He had no desire of His own. His Father's desire was His desire. He became a man of sorrow because of us. Comfort and luxury were far away from His reach. He lived His life in suffering and hardship. He gave Himself to constant prayers, seeking help from the Father all the time so He could constantly destroy every dart of the enemy. As He felt the last pain on that cross, He cried to the Father, "My Father, My Father, have You forsaken Me?" The Father responded, "My Son, I have not forsaken You. The battle is over, and You're coming back to Me." He bled and died, went to the Dark-Planet, resurrected and ascended back to Heaven. Glory be to the Father!
Search Me O Lord, and judge me according to Your righteousness. When I desire to fulfil my own will, may I fail so I can return to where You've placed me in You. Let Your right-hand, O Lord, lift me far above the desire of my own heart. May I forever dwell daily in Your presence and grant me a willing and submissive heart to follow You and You alone. Guide and guard my Spirit from wrong and chastise me in Your holiness. Keep my soul from wrong, else I sleep in the bosom of my adversary. Jehovah God of the Patriarchs, You who stood by Your chosen ones, stand by me. Jesus Christ, my Saviour, hold me by Your right hand and never let me fall.
O Lord, the Earth is an open place. Channel my feet so I will not fall into the trap of the evil one. You who reign in Heaven and in light, bury my heart in Your light so that no trace of darkness may be found in it. Open my eyes, my spiritual eyes, to see beyond the physical and give me a discerning heart to know whenever the evil one is around me. Amen! May the Lord give you the grace to walk with Him in Jesus' name.
