You know one of the reasons I love BLOGS? Because they can make you stop long enough to reflect on teh glory of Almighty God - I went to James McDonald's blog just a few minutes ago and read what he ahd written a couple of days ago about his prayer that day and most days...I want to share it:
My Prayer TodayPosted by James MacDonald on August 29, 2007 07:43 AM
Here's a prayer I pray in some way almost every single day. When I don't, I wish I had. Pray with me today . . .
Ephesians 5:18, Be filled with the Spirit.
Lord, fill me with Your Spirit today. I can't fix yesterday, and tomorrow seems a long way off.
Today, Lord: Cleanse my heart from the fleshly residue of yesterday's fallen humanity.
Today, Lord: Scrub my thoughts and motives till they shine with singularity - wanting Your glory alone.
Today, Lord: Wash me and I will be whiter than snow, purposed afresh to follow Your footsteps.
Lord, fill me with Your Spirit today. The tasks ahead are too much. If I must go alone, I cannot go at all.
Today, Lord: I'm not smart enough to know what is best, and not strong enough to choose what is righteous.
Today, Lord: My wife, my family, my friends, my church . . . I am not sufficient for these things, and I know it.
Today, Lord: Or what unfolds in the hours ahead will fade into the abyss of worthless, wasted time.
Lord, fill me with Your Spirit right now. Come, make these 24 hours all You created them to be.
Now, Lord: You know how to 'give good gifts' and I am so thankful to be called Your child.
Now, Lord: By faith, I receive the Presence You've promised, and delight to know that Your Word is true.
Now, Lord: You are filling my life with peace and purpose and freeing my soul to sing.
Galatians 5:16, 22, Walk then in the Spirit, and you will not fulfill the desires of your flesh. The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, long suffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, and self control.
Have a great day,
james
Did it make you stop and think about how you pray? It did me. It made me want to be sure that I talk to my best friend that way everyday, that I seek to fulfill all that He has for me to do and that I do it walking in the spirit and showing the fruit of the spirit as I go. Oh, I do lack just that on many days. Pray for me that I might be faithful to walk in the spirit....as I pray the same for you!

Psalms 1:1-3
How blessed is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked, Nor stand in the path of sinners, Nor sit in the seat of scoffers! But his delight is in the law of the Lord, And in His law he meditates day and night. He will be like a tree {firmly} planted by streams of water which yields its fruit in its season and its leaf does not wither; And in whatever he does, He prospers.
