Heavenly Father, in the name of Jesus, I thank You for saving me, calling me, and allowing me to know You. More than anything I desire to know Christ and become more like Him. Jesus, keep my eyes fixed on You. Don’t let me become distracted by this world, by my circumstances, by my emotions, or even by ministry. Let my greatest pursuit always be Your presence and Your heart. Guard me from pride, selfish ambition, comparison, offense, and anything that would pull my attention away from You. Help me to love what You love, desire what You desire, and live in a way that brings You glory. Holy Spirit, teach me to think like Christ, speak like Christ, love like Christ, and serve like Christ. Let every decision I make, every word I speak, and every step I take reflect the character of Jesus. Help me to seek Your face before I seek answers, Your presence before Your promises, and Your will above my own. Let Your Word shape my mind, Your truth guard my heart, and Your love flow through my life. Father, keep me humble, teachable, and completely dependent on You. Let me never become more focused on gifts than the Giver, more focused on ministry than intimacy, or more focused on knowledge than obedience. Form Christ within me every day. Let my life bear the fruit of the Holy Spirit, and let everything I do point people back to Jesus. May my greatest reward never be success, recognition, or even answered prayers. May my greatest reward always be knowing You more. I surrender my heart, my plans, my future, and my life into Your hands. From this day forward, let Christ be the center of my thoughts, my priorities, my relationships, and my purpose. In the mighty name of Jesus Christ! Amen!
