Personal prayer: Ed and the Word

Lord, be the Lord of my life.  There are many things I would like to do and places I would like to see,  but I want what you want for me, Lord.  I don’t want to be “selfish” or out of your will, nor off on my own plans and not following you closely.  Lord, you are my shepherd, keep me following you closely.

I want to be a vessel meet for your use and prepared for every good work, work that you have ordained beforehand that I would walk in. Lord, I am your servant, filled with your word and led by your spirit. I will not strive with others, instead I am gentle to all, apt to teach, patient.  In meekness I instruct those that oppose them selves, praying the father will grant them repentance and they will recover them selves from the snare of the evil one.  I pray I will be wise until salvation, perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works. That I would be instant to preach your word in season and out, reprove, rebuke and exhort with all long suffering and doctrine.
