My Daily Prayer

by Ralph I. Tilley 

Reverence —
for your name most high;
Surrender —
to you instead of I.

Gratitude —
for gifts undeserved;
Forgiveness —
for each debt I've incurred.

Glory —
to you alone giv'n;
Praise —
for your Son in Heaven.

Blessings —
on those to me special;
Conversions —
attending the gospel.

Love —
for you totally;
Compassion —
in serving the lowly.

Unity —
for all who are thine;
Fruitfulness —
for each branch on the Vine.

Servants —
Your fire make holy;
Grace —
to proclaim Christ boldly.

Faith —
when doubt attacks near;
Hope —
through every dreadful fear.

Joy —
flowing from our meet;
Peace —
spreading with both my feet.

Insight —
to perceive your word;
Strength —
to apply what I've heard.

Wisdom —
to choose what is right;
Obedience —
walking in all your light.

Thoughtfulness —
in every relation;
Humility —
to know limitation.

Steadfastness —
in life's trials met;
Faithfulness —
with each covenant kept.

Discipline —
to do what I should;
Time —
to do works that are good.

Watchfulness —
lest Satan devours;
Protection —
in all my leisure hours.

Confession —
when for you I've failed;
Recourse —
it's to the Cross I'm nailed.
