The prayer may acknowledge Him and your desperate need for Him, but it's the change in our lifestyle that shows us and others that His spirit now dwells in us. It is His spirit that empowers us, and cause us to change, to grow in holiness, and in godliness.
We are called to be His disciples, and in doing so He gives us the power, the knowledge, wisdom and understanding (His word/bible) to follow Him. Let me reiterate that this is not by our own might or by our own power, but by His spirit, says the lord. It is His grace, His love, and His mercy and only these that allow us (by faith) to be and do(work out our salvation) what He has asked.
I pray that we not only confess Him by our mouths but acknowledge him by our actions. This is not meant to condemn but a call for everyone back to righteousness. I know it's early but maybe you and I both needed a little encouragement before tonight and the weekend. I, like Paul hope you do this not because I have asked, but on your own accord. Ask Him for the strength and desire to do what good and right, and he will enable you to do His will. God bless
