My Shepherd –
I love You. I love everything about You. My desire is to see Your face … to live in Your presence forever.
Help me to know You so well in this life that I will recognize You … know You … and be found hidden in You on the great and terrible day of judgment.
I do not question Your authority. I do not resent Your guidance or Your discipline. I rejoice that You are my Master and my King. I seek You. I love You. I want to be just like You.
Mold me. Break me. Change me. Discipline me. Shape me. Do whatever it takes in Your divine knowledge and will to perfect Your love in me … to teach me obedience to You … to purify my heart … to cleanse my soul … so that I may enter Your presence … pure, washed, clean and holy … Your servant … Your sheep … Your son.
I will follow You, my Father … my God.
Hear me through Jesus. Amen.
