Dear God-
Immerse me in your presence. I desire to keep You before me, to know Your presence both night and day. Increase in me the hunger to learn Your Word and to do Your service. Let my words be your Words. Let my thoughts be of You.
I desire to speak Your Words, but I also desire that my words be fitly spoken, meet for the hearer and the circumstance. Show me, not just what to say, but how to say, so that the hearer is persuaded. Let my words go into the heart of the hearer, so that You are glorified.
The path to the mountaintop is narrow and steep. The climber must traverse rough ground, rocks and streams, go through brush and around crevasses. A wrong turn leads over no path and with no direction. But the mountain top view cannot be equaled at a lesser elevation. The long sight is not attained without sustained effort. Grant me the clear sight to always see Your directed path, so I attain the mountain view. Grant me the strength and the armor to withstand any assailant who tries to misdirect me into the directionless void. Grant me the favor of Your presence and Your direction.
