To know the power of His resurrection...
"[T]hat I may know Him and the power of His resurrection and the fellowship of His sufferings, being conformed to His death; Phil 3:11 in order that I may attain to the resurrection from the dead" (Phil 3:10–11 NAS95).
Living in the flesh brings pain and depression. Things I no longer desire to know. I desire to know the Joy of being in Christ and to know Him and the power of his resurrection and the fellowship of his sufferings. To be dead to the world is to conform to Christ death and to live as a new creation (2 Cor. 5:17) in Christ Jesus.
To live in your presence to seek after your face brings me to clarity and peace that shows me truly who I am and that is a saint, a child of God a vessel meant to be filled with God's fullness.
Knowing your power will be evident of me saying no to what is against your will and yes to what pleases you. This leads to living holy to you and not living to satisfy the lust of the flesh. Jesus did not satisfy the flesh but satisfied your good and pleasing will in obedience to death. This is my soul desire to know you in this way as Jesus did and truly say, "Not my will, but yours be done" (Luke 22:42).
Prayer:
Lord, I repent for allowing the world to be what I have desired. I truly desire to know you and the power of your resurrection. I want to be alive for you and dead to this world. Holy Spirit I submit to you and allow your will to be done in my life.
