While we were at If:Gathering, we had a quiet time of just reflection and prayer and talking to God. I just really felt these words come and this is a prayer I have looked back on just about daily since then. I am asking God to truly walk with me and be with me each second. Cause, well, I need Him (and no DOUBT could not do ANYTHING without him)....which of course makes me think of the song by Matt Maher: "Lord, I need YOU."
In today's reading in my She Reads Truth Lent Devotion, one of the verses is Romans 12:2:
"Do not be conformed to this age, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may discern what is the good, pleasing and perfect will of God."
This is that prayer:
Lord,
Please guide each step I take
each thought I think
so YOU will be who people see.
Let them want to know YOU more by my words, thoughts, and actions.
Help me to be humble in all things
and to put YOU above all things.
Fill all of my days with YOUR presence.
Fill my heart with YOUR love, goodness, and grace.
I want to focus in on all the things that TRULY matter and forget the rest.
Guide me in your ways and in your love.
Speak in ways I can only hear when you are in total control.
AMEN
My most favorite version is Matt Maher with Audrey Assad: Lord, I Need You

My most favorite version is Matt Maher with Audrey Assad: Lord, I Need You
Lord, I Need You
Lord, I come, I confess
Bowing here I find my rest
Without You I fall apart
You're the One that guides my heart
Lord, I need You, oh, I need You
Every hour I need You
My one defense, my righteousness
Oh God, how I need You
Where sin runs deep Your grace is more
Where grace is found is where You are
And where You are, Lord, I am free
Holiness is Christ in me
Lord, I need You, oh, I need You
Every hour I need You
My one defense, my righteousness
Oh God, how I need You
Teach my song to rise to You
When temptation comes my way
And when I cannot stand I'll fall on You
Jesus, You're my hope and stay
Lord, I need You, oh, I need You
Every hour I need You
My one defense, my righteousness
Oh God, how I need You
You're my one defense, my righteousness
Oh God, how I need You
My one defense, my righteousness
Oh God, how I need You
Bowing here I find my rest
Without You I fall apart
You're the One that guides my heart
Lord, I need You, oh, I need You
Every hour I need You
My one defense, my righteousness
Oh God, how I need You

Oh God, how I need You
You're my one defense, my righteousness
Oh God, how I need You
My one defense, my righteousness
Oh God, how I need You
