MY GOD, THANK YOU FOR INSTILLING IN ME REVERENTIAL FEAR

Thank You for instilling in me reverential fear through Your holiness
According to your justifying righteousness
Despite my tendency toward sinfulness…
Please forgive me of confessed filthiness.

Thank You for instilling in me reverential fear through Your perfection
According to your cleansing sanctification
Despite my weakness toward corruption…
Please correct me from committed abomination.

Thank You for instilling in me reverential fear through Your wisdom
According to your teaching freedom
Despite my craving toward stardom…
Please guard me against attacking boredom.

Thank You for instilling in me reverential fear through Your light
According to your illumining insight
Despite my vision-deficiency toward blinking vanity-delight…
Please direct me, checking any jeopardizing perspective-blight.

Thank You for instilling in me reverential fear through Your deliverance
According to your upholding salvation-assurance
Despite my pride toward selfishness-annoyance…
Please shield me against gripping carnal arrogance.

Thank You for instilling in me reverential fear through Your leadership
According to your loving redemption-relationship
Despite my compromise toward worldly partnership…
Please make me avoid alluring vain virtual friendship.

Thank You for instilling in me reverential fear through Your mercy
According to your faith-anchoring fervency
Despite my doubts toward stewardship-leniency…
Please help me overcome terrifying unbelief-persistency.
