Prayer for ourselves

God wants us to pray for ourselves - to pray for our relationship with Him. 

"Dear Lord, I come to you this morning, soaking in the morning sun, witnessing your glory in the new day. Let this be a day that I see you in everything and in everyone. As I begin my day, let me feel your presence in a real and powerful way. Let me know with certainty that you are God, and that your love and desire for me is to be with you today. While I go through the duties of my day, remind me that the primary duty I have is to bring honor to you and to glorify you in every way
I honor you, and love you, and I thank you for the comfort of knowing that you love me dearly and completely. You shower me with grace and love that is completely undeserved, allow me the wisdom to love myself as you love me. Let me see your image in me, let me see the creator in the created. Let me carry your image with grace and honor, allow me the strength to know you and make you known. 

In the blessed name of Jesus I pray. Amen."
