Freedom’s Best Choice

Lord let not my freedom become as a prison to me. Nor, the free will that you have permitted, lead me to places where I might become trapped

But instead, with all of my life, may I live for You, and express abundant praise to glorify Your Holy name

This life can be difficult. Many of the paths we find ourselves on are hard, even dangerous. Yet, by Your hand, You will deliver me and set my feet upon safe places

I have a lifetime of choices set before me, a million ways by which I may go. But I will choose to follow You, Oh Lord, and seek after Your heart

Blessed are all of Your paths for me. Lead me upon them with joy. How glorious are the plans You have for the faithful

I seek Your heart, my God, and meditate upon Your Word. I catch sight of You wherever I go and glorify Your name above all

Help me with this gift of freedom. Assist me, so that I might become a sweet offering unto You

Lift up my heart and mind, so that I may praise You, rightly; And fill me with the presence of Your Holy Spirit, so that I might become more complete in You

Make me strong, so that I can handle my freedom. Wake me and set me upon my feet. Cast off all laziness, so that I may work and accomplish Your will

You lie at the heart of all of creation, and are the strength behind all that is. Your ways are so far above mine, that I am at loss to understand

But You are also faithful to lead me, Your truth has shown the way. Therefore, I bow and kneel before You and worship You above all things

The gift of Your freedom is immeasurable; it carries with it great weight and peril. But I, Oh Lord, will serve You, and give You full control all of my days         9/13/2007
