Prayers of Surrender

Take me away

11-14-05

Lord, Take away me. Make me mirror your image. Take away the desires of my heart that are not yours

Love you

That can I do but offer myself?

God–

Your love pursues us. You pursue me, no matter what roads I have chosen. I would have given up but now, but your love is so incredible. What can I do but offer myself? Purify my heart, redeem this life and show me who you are. I want to be like you. Grant me peace and if it is possible, help me find a friend. Help me be a friend to others as well – more of you and less of me. I want others to see you in my life. Help me be brave.

I pray with passion for you and only you

Father,

With my life raised, I pray to surrender. I pray to give it all. I pray with passion for you and only you. God shape me into the man that you want and desire me to be. Let me know [...] to love you more, show me, and reveal the God of love, mercy, power, forgiveness, righteousness, grace, the only way to life. God I love you with all that I am. I know I stray but it isnt my intention.

Let me, and give me the courage & strength to reveal the God that you are to my family, friends, and all I see.

His grace is enough

Let Him wrap you in His arms while you cry. then worry about it. Not until then. 

[Response:] Surrender. His grace is enough.

I refuse to worry

Jesus! Jesus! Thank you for carrying me. My tears overflow.

You simply

     Amaze

              Me.

The depths of my soul yearn for my Maker. The vacant place in my heart

is filled

    By

You

     ALONE

 

I lay it all down.

I refuse to worry.

I love you Jesus

You are all, I surrender to you!

God, 

I’ve been weak, you are strong. I've been wrong, you are grace. I've ran, and you've chased. I'm afraid, but you go before me. You are all, I surrender to you!

I love you God.

Jesus

amen.

I bow before you and you alone!

Lord, I humbly bow before you & you alone! Forgive me . . . . . I am overwhelmed by the fact that You love me! Why? Only You know….. I’m so thankful that you do ….Use me - I am yours!


 

All of a sudden I gave in

Lord I am broken both physically and emotionally. For so long I kept living on and off for you and it has led me to where I am. All of a sudden I gave in, I gave in to quit trying to control everything myself and relying on myself to get through my troubles. I’m letting you take control but I'm scared. I am in constant fear of the unknown but you call us not to worry but to trust you Father. So that is what I am doing, and it is truly difficult. I put my full trust in You that everything will be okay.

“My grace is sufficient for you,

for my power is made perfect in 

weakness.” 2 Corinthians 12:9


 

Make me a pot for You

O precious Lord, make me a pot for you,

Molded in your gentle hands, yielded and

Presented for your glory ~ not ashamed but

Strong in you ~ the Almighty Creator


 

My Strength, My Comforter, I will rest in You

Father-

My strength, my comforter, I will rest in You. This is the end of me, and the beginning of you. I give up and I give in. You're in control. You are my eyes, you are my feet. Please, please carry me to the places you desire. Take away my blindness and reveal yourself to me, an ocean.

Your Son (tired and sick)


 

Oh Lord, your pulling at my heart

Oh Lord, your pulling at my heart,

Quieting my lips, setting me apart.

Help me to love you with all that I am,

Pray with all that I have,

And be, for You, all that I can


 

I am broken.

Though I hide my face from Him, 

He is ever faithful

He uses my pain.

I am broken.

It is now that He can begin a great work in me.

If only I remain receptive.

Help me, Oh God, to welcome you.
