A May Psalm

Remove from me the fleshly desires that keep me from you, Jesus
Let your Spirit consume me so I may walk in Your will
Let my eyes behold Your goodness and Your beauty and Your holiness
Remove from me the secret sins that I may not notice,
those things of the flesh and thoughts that have been so much a part of me,
things I didn’t even think about until Your spirit revealed them to me

Lessen the time it takes me to obey Your precepts
and to honor You in what You may ask of me
Let me treat others as I would if You were in their place, Lord
Let me give of the love and the joy that You have given me,
let me have the willingness to love the unlovely
and to reach out to those my flesh abhors
Keeping in mind that You have commanded us to love our enemies,
to treat others like we want to be treated
and to count others better than ourselves

Lord, remind my enemies that I am protected by You,
that their efforts to ruin me will not prosper
Let me always be aware that my life is in Your hands,
that you are ever watching over me, that Your protection surrounds me

As I continue my walk through this world, let my step be ever with You
Let me remember my cross and not minimize any of your commandments,
for my life is dedicated to You, no matter how many times I fail,
I will still choose to walk with you and in Your ways
