Lord,
Just as the dentist today will check for cavities and clean my teeth, check me for iniquity and make me whole. Make me not fear the drill or any pain in my soul because anything which is displeasing to you needs to go, regardless of how unpleasant it will be.
Help me to want only you, Lord.
Help me to rejoice in this day that you have made and only see the glory you have put there in it.
Help me to find the hidden joys that must be found rather than openly available.
Amen

Forgiveness
Lord,
When the natural order of things sometimes makes me feel battered and bruised
help me to remember that there are cycles of hurt and healing. I will carry the memories with me but learn to incorporate them into my life in a way that adds meaning rather than despair.
Help me to remember, Lord, that when I need solace that I can turn to You no matter the time, the place, or the experience.
You will reach for me and let me know that You are near. I know that You don't usually take my hurts away because feeling them is good for my soul. Life is full of disappointments, and sometimes feeling them makes us stronger.
Help me to surrender to You and to give you my pains so that we can share them.
Help me to remember that the grand scheme of things is bigger than my individual hurts. I can always keep looking onward and upward and inward to find you because You whisper your presence into my ear in the little things.
Help the sun set on my hurts so that I can begin a new day today without letting them ruin new relationships, new experiences, and any new work you have for me to do.
Amen

Peek into My Soul
Lord,
Peek into my soul today and let Yourself in. Let me rest in You. Remind me to rest in You, for I often forget and try to do things by myself. I try to do things my way. I try to go on full blast without Your help.
Lord,
Paint on me, Your canvas. Paint your colors brightly, for You are an artist no other brush can equal!
Lord,
Help me to ask for You! Let me grow in this life but with a constant companion, even when the world says I am alone.
Lord,
Remind me that Your many ways find me, even when I think I am alone. You bring me friends when I need solace and help me to be alone when I need solitude.
I will walk today, Lord. Let me to take from this journey whatever it is You have planned for me.
Amen
