Lead Me and Guide Me

Almighty God, I humbly pray,
Lead me and guide me through this day.
Cast out my selfishness and sin,
Open my heart to let You in.
Help me now as I blindly stray
Over the pitfalls along the way.
Let me have courage to face each task,
Invest me with patience and love, I ask.
Care for me through each hour today,
Strengthen and guard me now, I pray.

As I forgive, forgive me too,
Needing Your mercy as I do.
Oh, give me Your loving care,
Never abandon me to despair.
Yesterday's wrongs I would seek to right.
Make me more prefect in Your sight.
Oh, teach me to live as best I can,
Use me to help my fellowman.
Save me from acts of bitter shame,
I humbly ask it in Your name.

That is such a beautiful prayer. Thank you! I want to ask you something that has been really in the top of my mind for several days. I have been praying so hard for God to release me from the desire to use and drink. But the desire is still there. I realize I am asking for a miracle, but I've heard of so many others who have been relieved from the desire to drink by praying for it. Is there something I need to do to get a response from God?

AWESOME prayer! Thank you. I think I'll print it out and tape it to the wall by my bed.

Do you know where that came from??
