Dear Lord, Your will be done in all things, on Earth as it is in Heaven. Your wisdom is greater, and to all things and IN all things, be Glorified Father, for you are greater, your love is greater, your grace is sufficient. I deserve nothing, and yet, from the nothing you love everything. The peace that passes all understanding is all we ask, through the storm, please hold the wheel, and guide us, use us and mold us to be more like you.

Take the wretch I am, and fully shine, not through me, but in spite of me. Keep me humble, low, beneath, and Rise Up in me, shine Your Light so the whole world can see, that miracles still happen, because it happened in me. Heal me please, take my sin of doubt, regret, self-seeking, anger, judgement and expectancy and cleanse me Lord, please help me submit all of that to you and change me with the power of the Holy Spirit. I can’t do any of that on my own, I need you and I give it to you Lord. Please change me from the inside out.

I love you Jesus. You are powerful, your name is powerful, there’s thunder in your footsteps and lightening in your fists. You are an awesome God. No longer a baby, but the Lion of Judah, full of justice, righteousness and the perfected Son of God. You defeated Death! Praise be to YOU! All glory, honor and praise be to you. Forever and ever. I am excited to see you, let each day be part of your great mission for me. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.

Esther 4:16

“Go, gather all the Jews who are present in Shushan, and fast for me; neither eat nor drink for three days, night or day. My maids and I will fast likewise. And so I will go to the king, which is against the law; and if I perish, I perish!

I need

I plead

I fill

so full

it hurts

my sin

it burns

within

so full

overflow

but it is sin

I feed the pain

please empty me

start brand new

fasting now

empty, true

a vessel ready

to receive you

now the sin

is on the floor

emptied out

please restore

help me rise

all around

I see it there

so profound

I don’t crave

the sin down there

I humbly need

your love, in prayer

fill me Jesus

satisfy

the bread of life

hear my cry

I thirst for you

only you

fill me up

help me do

each mission

task

all for you

is all I ask

thank you Jesus

for the cross

thank you Jesus

for the loss

thank you Jesus

for each day

Less of me

more of your way.

Philippians 4:13

¹³ I can do all things through ^[a]Christ who strengthens me.
