Lord Jesus , I am so excited that I get to go on this trip . Thank you for putting this in my life . Thank you for bringing this trip into my life . I'm so excited about the joy and adventure , the new things that I will experience , but I know that in the past , when I am going on a trip , I struggle with eating and drinking inside of my boundaries . Lord , I want more than anything to please you on this trip and to love you first . So I'm going to renew my mind before I even go and then renew my mind again several times each day , so that I am sure that I am putting you first and thinking my thoughts after yours . Lord , what is true is that I want to love you first on this trip and then I want to love others . Well , I am going on this trip to have adventure and fun , yes , but mostly to bring glory to you and to love your people . Help me to do that , lord .

Speaker 1

What is true is that my focus should be others , not myself . What is true is that I am not entitled to anything good and I don't deserve anything good . What is true is that every good thing in my life is a gift from you . So I'm going to read Romans 13 , 14 . But put on the Lord Jesus Christ , and make no provision for the flesh in regard to its lusts , and make no provision for the flesh in regard to its lusts . Lord , that's what I want . I want you to please be my shield , my protector , my fortress . If there is an emotion that comes up , that is difficult , I will run to you . If something is challenging , I will run to you . If I feel entitled or like I deserve a reward , I will run to you for my reward .

1 Corinthians 6.12 . All things are lawful for me , but not all things are profitable . All things are lawful for me , but I will not be mastered by anything , lord . I want to be mastered only by you . I want to be mastered by my love and devotion for you . What is true is that I need to submit in this trip , in this vacation , to your plans and your purposes for me and your will . 1 Thessalonians 5 , 6 . So then , let us not sleep as others do , but let us be alert and sober . Lord , help me to renew my mind on this trip and to be thinking my thoughts after you . I pray that you would meet me there and walk through , enjoy the adventures and fun of this trip with me . I pray that my actions would be pleasing to you . What is true is that when I eat and drink inside of my boundaries , I feel peace and freedom . I want that , lord . Thank you for going before me . Thank you for walking with me . In Jesus' name , I pray , amen .
