Lord, grant that I may always allow myself to be guided by you, always follow your plans, and perfectly accomplish your holy will. Grant that in all things, great and small, today and all the days of my life, I may do whatever you require of me. Help me respond to the slightest prompting of your grace, so that I may be your trustworthy instrument for your honor. May your will be done in time and in eternity by me, in me, and through me. Psalms 102:1 says, Hear my prayer, O Lord, and let my cry come unto thee. Thank you, Jesus, for helping me, loving me, and showing me the way. You are the only one who gives freely, with love to anyone who asks. The simplicity of it all still amazes me! [full sermon text is in the attached PDF file]
