Praise be to the Lord Most High through our Lord Jesus Christ!
Thank You Heavenly Father for sending Your son Jesus the living Christ to cover our sins, disarming the powers of sin and death, making a mockery of them. Thank You Lord Jesus for You life. I offer my life that You might rise in me, letting my old sinful nature die on the cross with You. Letting my ego and every instinct to edge God out die on the cross with You, Lord Jesus, that Your Holy Spirit may open me to the will Our Heavenly Father. Come and inhabit this form. Make it Your own. Renew my mind in the spirit of Your power, love and the soundness of the mind of Christ.
Thank You Heavenly Father for the mind of Christ! Thank You Heavenly Father for this garment of praise and the faith to put it on. Thank You Heavenly Father for the covering of Your son Jesus Christ and the spiritual armor of His life.
Thank You Heavenly Father for the knowledge that of myself I am nothing. It is only through self giving that I live. Through the pouring out of myself as You have poured yourself out in me.
Thank You Heavenly Father for the spiritual armor of Christ. Thank You Heavenly Father for girding my loins with truth. The truth that You Heavenly Father are the owner of all things and it is Your good pleasure to share Your kingdom with us. Thank You Heavenly Father for this life. Thank You Heavenly Father for knowledge of Your will and the power to carry it out. Thank You Heavenly Father for the shoes of the gospel of peace. Thank You Heavenly Father for peace beyond my understanding. Thank You Heavenly Father for increasing my understanding and execution of Your will and enjoyment and sharing of Your love. Thank You Heavenly Father for sending Your Son Jesus to save us while we were still Your enemies. Thank You Heavenly Father for Your endless mercy and abundant grace. Thank You Lord Jesus for sending Your Holy Spirit to translate my grunts and ramblings into prayers to Our Father. Thank You Heavenly Father for the breastplate of the righteousness of Christ. Thank You Heavenly Father for guarding my heart against unrighteous desires and sending Your Holy Spirit to turn my heart back to You. Thank You Heavenly Father for passion, perseverance, patience and grace. Thank You Heavenly Father for building my will in the image of Christ. Thank You Heavenly Father for faith. Thank You Heavenly Father for the shield of faith. Thank You Heavenly Father for Your Holy Word. Thank You for the sword of Your Holy Word, dividing soul from spirit, bone from marrow. Thank You Holy Father for Your love, knowledge of Your will and the power to carry it out.

Okay I went five minutes too long on the prayer. There is room for improvement. But I do love God! I just am working on harnessing my passions.
I’m asking the Lord that Our Heavenly Father fill me with His plan for today and how it is to be accomplished.
I’ve got a shift at 10am. After that shift, I’m working out for a bit. There is this niggling concern about our garden. I haven’t had time to do any work. I need to make time. I can do while Tina is at work next week. Done. I can adjust if necessary, but it won’t be.
Before my shift, I want to get some body maintenance, stretching and maybe some strength work like pushups or handstands practice. Maybe even gymnastics strength.
At work I’ll be focused on getting two PT appointments through talking to potential clients about training methods and sharing passions. One piece personal one piece professional for networking.
First coffee, studying bible, meditation, workout and shower.
