Lord deliver me from me
Lord deliver me to You
Lord deliver me
from the desire to be noticed, loved, exalted
Lord deliver me
from the desire to be favored, popular, chosen, or acknowledged
Lord deliver me
from the fear of being wrong, forgotten, or ignored
Lord deliver me
from the fear of being humiliated or left behind
Lord deliver me from me
Lord deliver me to You
Grant that I may seek to comfort
rather than be comforted by others
Grant that I may understand and love
more than be understood and loved well
Lord deliver me
from the desire to be noticed and encouraged
Lord deliver me
from the desire to be appreciated and included
Lord deliver me from me
Lord deliver me to You
That song by Sara Beth Geoghegan has become my prayer. My whole life I have held all these hidden feelings of being the person that wants to fit in, wants to be loved, wants encouragement, and wants favor. All the while, I have feared being wrong, humiliated, and left behind. My prayer to the Father is that he would transform my desires from worldly to that of the kingdom. I pray that I would live with reckless abandonment for His kingdom. Forsaking all my own desires, leaving them at the throne, and living through His spirit alone. Help me Lord...
Glory to be to You, Lord
May Your name be praised
There is none like You!
Let my spirit say, "Glory to Your name!"
