Create in me a raw purpose, O God, and put daring eternal plans within me.

Create in me an intensified compassion, O God, and put a growing ache for the marginalized within me.

Create in me a chiseled personality, O God, and put more encouraging words within me.

Create in me full reliance on You, O God, and put a submissive spirit within me.

Create in me risky generosity, O God, and put a liberation from greed within me.

Create in me eager forgiveness, O God, and put a view from your cross within me.

Create in me a contented spirit, O God, and put an imperturbable faith within me.

Create in me a blazing vision, O God,
and put innovative dreams of Kingdom-building within me.

Create in me absolute trust, O God, and put joyful surrender within me.

Create in me assured hope, O God, and put an eager anticipation within me.

Create in me a burning heart, O God,
and put an unquenchable love for You within me.
