Clear My thinking, Lord Jesus , with the light You shine within me. Chase all darkness from my mind. Check my wondering thoughts and fight for me. Enter into combat with these ugly beats(my body's appetites), so there may be "peace inside walls and safety in your palaces" (Ps. 122:7).
Command the stormy winds to cease; order the waves to be still. Create a great calm in me.
"Send Your Light and Your Truth;
may they lead me..." (Ps. 43:3).
For i am "formless and desolate" (Gen. 1:2), until You enlighten me. Lift up my mind. Make me so much at home with heavenly things that it will annoy me even to think of earthly things. In the name of Jesus i pray with thanksgiving in my heart,amen.
