Father, I humbly ask that your Holy Spirit direct my life on a path that pleases you. May I do all things for your good pleasure. You go before me to set the example for steadfast love, justice and righteousness. Put it in my heart to strive for these, because these things bring you delight. I want You to delight in what You see in me. May others see the reflection of Jesus when they look my way. May they understand that there is something different, something loving, just and righteous within me. May they see that it is You who is working in and through me for your good pleasure and purpose. I come to your court to thank You in the name and authority of Jesus, according to your good and perfect will. Amen.
“Thus says the Lord: ‘Let not the wise man boast in his wisdom, let not the mighty man boast in his might, let not the rich man boast in his riches, but let him who boasts boast in this, that he understands and knows me, that I am the Lord who practices steadfast love, justice, and righteousness in the earth. For in these things I delight, declares the Lord.’” (Jeremiah 9: 23-24 ESV)
