Holy Spirit, by Your wisdom I can recall life experiences where I had human doubts as Samuel did. I recall mourning too long over some that were in opposition to God. I recall trembling to witness at times or being in fear of displaying Your power. I recall being sent at times and fearfully wondering if it was a mission of peace. I recall sadly judging by appearance rather than the inward man. Along with these negative memories come the recollection of many victorious ones when I did not doubt or hesitate whatsoever to do Your bidding. May I hold to these positive times as You further send me out into the world. May I never be divided against Thy Kingdom, nor grieve You with blasphemy, nor let man that does win over my forgiving nature. I find myself in confession today in light of this study to ask for forgiveness for those times I fudge the truth. I will not be a liar, and lest I find at times covering myself with a yes or maybe, when I really mean no. Or a no, when I really mean perhaps later. So, I ask by examination by You, and the example of Ananias and Sapphira, that You keep my yes, yes, and my no, no as Scripture exhorts us to. May I not grow stiff-necked when You speak with me, and may I not let my heart callous over to a state of uncircumcism. I also know that pride is vanity of mind and the beginning of its darkness and blindness. I have heard of those that have gone apostate for these very reasons. May I be safely sealed in my Savior's hand, unpolluted, holding steadfast to the Truth in Him. May it please You to renew me in the spirit of my mind and safeguard me as You teach me to speak pure grace. Keep me from quenching You. May Your Name be evermore exalted. Amen

I know you care, but I have caught myself thinking you don't care. That is just pride. When I have gone through some terrible times, I didn't think you were there. I look back and see that you were there and are here with me. Thank you again for making me your own.

Help me not to grieve you in any way. I thank you that you know the thoughts and the very intentions of my heart. Many times men misjudge me, but you never do! I thank you for keeping your hand upon me and that no one can snatch me out of it! I am safe with you! Hallelujah!! I need not fear what men may try to do unto me as long as I abide in you. Amen. Hallelujah!!
