I beseech Thee,
let not only my prayer
but my whole life,
my every act, thought, and word,
be a sacrifice to Thee today,
unblamable and worthy,
through the power of Thy Spirit.
Let the message of Thy Word
fill me with assurance
of the forgiveness of my sin;
let the counsel of Thy revealed will
point out to me the way I am to go;
let Thy Spirit give me courage and strength
to choose the good part every hour.
Hold me in oneness of faith
with my fellow-Christians
and let me be a salt that has not lost its savor.
Keep me Thine
for the sake of Thy Son,
my Redeemer.
Amen.

Oh, how I love each one of these prayers that you post from this little book! They touch my heart and speak to where I’m at, every time. Thank you.
Thanks, Mel. That has been one of the best book sale finds in my life.
*and let me be a salt that has not lost its savor.*
Sometimes I feel *too salty*………….
I dont think I’ve ever owned a box of salt so long that it lost its savor. I would think that would have to be a very long time.

“unblamable and worthy,through the power of Thy Spirit.”I’m going to print this up for my journal. I think also I will pass it out at my next Bible Study series (on the Abiding Life) Beautiful! Thank you Carol!
