Surrender

“Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded.”
(James 4:8, ESV)
  • Lord, Your Word reminds me that when I come closer to You, You will come closer to me. Today, I come with a heart seeking a deeper connection with You and a readiness to be used by You in whatever ways You see fit.
  • There are times that the weight of my own life has come between my relationship with You. I surrender my distractions and busyness. I don’t want to live a life that is halfway in the world and halfway with You. I ask that You would fill every corner of my heart. 
  • Create within me a hunger and thirst for more of You. I want a genuine desire to draw closer. 
  • I lay down all of my plans, ambitions, and motives at Your feet. 
  • I also offer myself to be used in any way You see fit during church tomorrow. Guide me to do what aligns with Your will, whether it's through welcoming a newcomer, volunteering, or just being there. 
  • Open my eyes and ears to Your leading. I pray that as we worship You and seek Your face in service, that You would meet us.
