To Live in the Newness of Life: A Prayer

Father,

I cry to You.

I lift up my voice to You for mercy.

I pour out myself before You and lay my troubles at Your feet.

When my spirit grows faint within me, it is You who knows my way. When no one is concerned for me, You still care for my life. When I am facing attack, You are still my refuge.

I cry to You, O LORD. I say, “You are my refuge, my portion in the land of the living.”

Listen to my cry, for I am in desperate need.

Rescue me from evil ways, for their deception runs deep.

Set me free from the prison of my old self that I may praise Your name.

Renew me in the knowledge in the image of You, my Maker.

Make the attitude of my mind new.

Form me into the new self created to be like You, God my Savior, in true righteousness and holiness.

Jesus, having been buried with You in baptism, lead me to live in the newness of life through Your resurrection.

Fill me with Your Spirit for Your name, Your kingdom and Your will to be on earth as they are in heaven.

And may the righteous gather with me to rejoice in Your goodness.

In Christ,

Amen.
