God, I am here for Your benefit, for Your glory, for Your name to be praised.  Whatever You may bring about in this life, may it be for my growth in Your Spirit, through Your Son, for Your glory.  I pray that my life would be an display of Your love, mercy, grace, forgiveness, peace, patience, long-suffering, perseverance, truth, and hope; not for my glory but for the One who lives inside me and through me.  This heart, which You have freed from bondage and rescued from death, may You abide in it and live through it, strengthen it, and call it home.  "Or do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God, and you are not your own? For you were bought at a price; therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God’s." (1 Cor. 6: 19-20)
