Dress Me This Day In Your Array

Father, Holy God,

Dress me today,

Dress me this day in Your Array. 

Hang Your Accessories about my neck

as a Word

to Direct my path

to all

Your Incredible Dwelling Places. 

Place the

Reflections of Your Eyes within mine

so that I have Your Color

mirrored when looked upon. 

May I carry

Your Spirit

like an Aroma that Insists

upon its Place before I enter. 

Cover me with

Magnanimous Moisture of Compassion,

sensing the needs of those around me

as I look past their outer appearance and actions

to see deeper.  

May I wear Your Name

as the Real Class I belong

and offer assistance

to my sisters and brothers

who without a word spoken,

call out in desperate cries to be heard. 

The New Life within

released

as the Flowing Substance of Your Love seen,

crushing all attempts

of the enemy to rule. 

Turn my own pain and sorrow

around

to expose Your Risen Son

as Alive and Triumphant

above and beyond the weight

I might struggle to carry. 

For You are not a myth or fiction,

but Truth that Carry’s all our sorrows,

as Your Love Broke

the chains that burden the soul. 

---

Father, Pick my thoughts,

as one would pick amazing routes to a destiny,

to move me to Your Beautiful Unknowns. 

Guide my thoughts by Your Kindness

so that the vision seen

is Your Glory about me. 

For my assignment today

I will purpose to quickly restrict offenses

from penetrating my mind

that endeavors the right to be meditated upon. 

I will tear down all vain imaginations

that are not of Your Covering

by the Righteousness of Jesus within my heart. 

Wearing His Name like an Ornament

as I announce His Worth;

Jesus,

my Savior and Friend

who Carried to You my lost soul.  

Rightful Ruler with Power

and to be Exalted

above all names.

Jesus is worthy

of the First Place

in all my life

as I wait His Coming again after me. 

---

Dress me today, Papa,

to reflect You

as I wear my Garment of Praise

Given by Your Spirit of Life. 

Dress me in Your Love.

Colossians 3:12 (MSG)

So, chosen by God for this new life of love, dress in the wardrobe God picked out for you: compassion, kindness, humility, quiet strength, discipline. Be even-tempered, content with second place, quick to forgive an offense. Forgive as quickly and completely as the Master forgave you. And regardless of what else you put on, wear love. It's your basic, all-purpose garment. Never be without it.
