Awaken: Day 20


Gracious Redeemer, 

I am awake, but awaken me further. I am more awake than ever before, but I sense there is more!
Awaken me from the deadness that lingers in my soul. Lift me up from drowsy half-trying, and let me dance with you on clouds of pure obedience! Elevate my spirit into dedication in your service. Show me the way. 
Pry open my heavy eyelids so I can more fully see your Light, lest I stumble backwards into hypocrisy; professing to be transformed by Jesus' finished work on the cross, yet still trying to save myself, or earn your approval. Awaken me first while I still dream, so I will recognize the vision of being alert and active. Bring me completely to a life of order, wisdom, and submission to Your will, my Lord, and my King.! 
Amen.
Revelation 3: 1b - 2 “I know your works. You have the reputation of being alive, but you are dead. Wake up, and strengthen what remains and is about to die, for I have not found your works complete in the sight of my God.”
