Help Us Fix Our Eyes

So don’t follow Me without considering what it will cost you. For who would construct a house before first sitting down to estimate the cost to complete it? Otherwise he may lay the foundation and not be able to finish. The neighbours will ridicule him, saying, ‘Look at him! He started to build but couldn’t complete it!’ “Have you ever heard of a commander who goes out to war without first sitting down with strategic planning to determine the strength of his army to win the war against a stronger opponent? If he knows he doesn’t stand a chance of winning the war, the wise commander will send out delegates to ask for the terms of peace. Likewise, unless you surrender all to Me, giving up all you possess, you cannot be one of My disciples. Luke 14:28-33 TPT

God, we need You, I need You. We cannot do this earthly life on our own. We thank You, humbled that You know us each by name, You know all of our sin, weakness, wrong thinking, our idolatry, fears, love of self and yet You have still set Your affection on us. Yes Lord! You are a tender loving Shepherd, and we will follow You. Please help us fix our eyes upon You and help us to have the wisdom to know that You will show us the way and give us the all grace we need to walk in Your will.  We pray hope, we pray healing, we pray deliverance, we pray love, we pray rejoicing, we pray salvation, we pray revival, we pray forgiveness in the name of Jesus Christ, amen!
