Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus.

Philippians 2:5 (KJV)

If ever there was a hymn that served well as a prayer, it’s “May the Mind of Christ My Savior.” In the dead of night when I cannot sleep, when anxious thoughts erode my peace of mind and keep me awake, I recall the words to this hymn. When I feel far from God and unable to pray, I borrow each stanza of this hymn and make it my prayer. Before I know it, my heart is at rest.

May the mind of Christ my Savior live in me from day to day

By his power and love controlling, all I do and say.

May the word of God dwell richly in my heart from hour to hour;

And may all who see I triumph, only in its power.

May the peace of God my Father rule my life in every thing;

That I may be calm to comfort sick and sorrowing.

May his beauty rest upon me, as I seek the lost to win;

And may they forget the channel, seeing only him.

May the love of Jesus fill me, as the waters fill the sea;

Him extolling, self abasing – this is victory.

May I run the race before me, strong and brave to face the foe;

Looking only unto Jesus as I onward go.

The next time you cannot find words to wrap around your circumstances, flip open the hymnal. One of the blessings of memorizing Scripture songs, praise choruses, or beautiful old hymns is that each stanza provides a ready resource of rich and fruitful fodder for prayer. For your prayer time today, choose a favorite hymn you know by heart… borrow the words and turn them into your personal praise, confession and intercession to the Father.

May the mind of you, my Savior, live in me from day to day… by your power and love controlling, all I do and say.
