Heavenly Father, I pray the following prayer to
you now.
Impart the lesson you are trying to teach
me in this adversity.
Prune me, purge me, transform me, and effect
the change you desire for me.
Make me more like Jesus.
Use this trial to instruct me in your
divine school.
Let me not miss the lesson.
Let the lesson sink in and bring change
and transformation.
Make me more like Jesus.
Show me my wickedness.
Show me my rebellion.
I submit to your divine pruning knife as
you trim back what's blocking growth and more
fruitfulness.
Make me more like Jesus.
Your word declares, though he were a son,
yet learned he obedience by the things which
he suffered.
He submitted to your will.
I submit to your will.
Make me more like Jesus.
Make me a sharp threshing instrument in your
hands.
Give me a cutting edge when I preach.
Anoint me with that spirit and give me
power.
Make me your channel of blessing to others.
Make me more like Jesus.
I pray these things in the strong name
of Jesus.
Amen.
