A Servant's Prayer To God

As I journey in the path of life,
Lord, guide me and order my steps.
Cover me with your holy presence,
Lead me in the path of righteousness,
Give me endurance that I may not falter.
As I set goals for Gods glory,
Increase my faith and sharpen my vision,
Don't let doubts hover around to bother me,
But let my God-given faith soar up as an eagle.
As I journey in the path of faith,
Direct my steps according to your blessed will,
Give me the grace of wisdom to preach the Holy Book,
Open the eyes of the lost,
That they may see your loving-kindness and great salvation.
Have mercy on us here on earth, Oh Lord!
The uncertainty of life cannot be ignored,
The intimidating presence of evil cannot be hid.
Remember me, Oh Lord, and make me an instrument,
An instrument of righteousness against the power of evil.
Don't let Death visit my life prematurely,
But bless the remaining years of my life and use it wonderfully,
Use me continually as a vessel of your grace, mercy and truth.
Lord, make my life a living testimony to touch others lives,
Remember me, Oh Lord, and bless your servant,
May your blessed goal for me be fulfilled marvellously,
Lord, make my life a part of Gods miracle for your honour and glory.
