The Christ Life — E.A. Johnston

Christ Crucified and Christ Living Within

I am crucified with Christ, nevertheless I live, yet not I, but Christ liveth in me. In the life which I now live in the flesh, I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.

Surrendering Daily Life to Jesus

Live your life through me, Jesus, live in me this day. Live your life through me, Jesus, as I walk the narrow way. May my feet be your feet, may my hands be your hands, may my eyes be your eyes, to see you more clearly and to walk more closely by your side.

Being Guided by the Holy Spirit

Guide me, teach me, lead me by your Spirit all the time. Live your life through me, Jesus, live in me this day. Live your life through me, showing me the way. May my thoughts be your thoughts, may my words be your words, may my actions be your actions, to bring you glory with my life.

Strengthen me, encourage me, empower me to live for you this day. Live your life through me, Jesus, live in me today. I need you, Jesus, in a deeper way. May your presence cleanse me, fill me, flood me with your glory every day.

Protection from Evil and the Destruction of Idolatry

Keep my feet from evil, guard me from the enemy, cover me with your blood in protection for this day. Deliver me, Jesus, from every hindrance in the way. Smash every idol in my life that stands between me and you this day.

Purification and Consecration for Unhindered Service

Strip me, purge me, prune me, so you can flow through me in unobstructed ways. Your life you gave for me, my life I give to thee. Saturate me with your presence, by your spirit, for your glory, clothe me with thee.

Intimacy with Christ and the Christ Life

Jesus, lover of my soul, draw me closer to you in love's intimacy. May my heart burn within me as I walk with you today. Live your life through me, Jesus, live in me this day. Keep me beneath your shadow, the Christ life in my life every step of the way.
