Build Within Me, Lord

────────── ✦ ──────────

Father, 

Thank You for the quiet ways You speak, the gentle ways You lead, and the faithful ways You build within me. As I begin this journey, open the rooms of my heart that I have kept closed, and shine Your light into the places where healing, clarity, and peace are waiting to be found.

Teach me to listen when You whisper, to follow when You guide, and to trust when You instruct me to build what I cannot yet see. Strengthen my hands for the work, steady my spirit for the climb, and soften my heart for the lessons You will reveal along the way.

May every reflection become a step closer to You. May every prayer become a plank in the Ark You are forming within me. May every moment of awareness draw me deeper into Your presence.

Build in me what only You can build. Shape in me what only You can shape. And lead me into the purpose You designed long before I knew the journey had begun.

Amen.
