Father, I know that revival and my capacity to be used of any significance for the Kingdom, begins in my own heart.  Thank you for the desert path, but I so much wish to answer Your bidding to enter the promised land.  Forgive then Lord for trying to succeed of my own accord.  I see now that when I begin to whine it always accompanies a demonstration of my own attempts to work the circumstances to my own design.  Take this self-reliance from me Father, allowing me to rest in You, Trust in You, depend upon You.  For in my independence is only found momentary wins, no lasting victory.  And when I do not win Lord the price of self-reliance is truly evident for there is never peace, especially the kind that surpasses the cares of this world.

I am frail Father.  I cannot see how I might be used of God, but somehow you have determined that shall be disproved.  You are definitely a Mighty God, beyond my understanding, for I feel a piece of useless clay, yet you continue to shape me into what I cannot yet comprehend.  Please allow me to voluntarily conform to Your Mighty Craftsmanship.  Please show me how to remove any personally or wickedly constructed obstacles to accepting  my place of service in Your Will for my life.

This is not a thing of false humility, yet I ask You to search my heart and remove any thing that causes deluded thinking on my part.  Allow me clarity of purpose and penchant.  Father,  let me become the man you’ve intended, let me not go to the afterlife with the regret of in-completion.  Make of the man I stand the possibility of becoming, if I were to lend myself entirely to Your intention.  Take away from that carnal man who seeks his own end.  I don’t want the poisons of my previous life, the spots of the world or the pressures associated with denying you in order to fit in amongst the lost.  This is not my home, Lord.  Please keep me ever cognizant of that fact.  It is in Your Name that I pray and thank Jesus for the opportunity to fellowship with You.
