My Lord Jesus, I come before You just as I am, with my weakness, my poverty, and my need, and with everything in my heartthat only You truly know



I do not come to You because I deserve You, but because You loved me


I do not depend on my own goodness, but on Your grace that never changes


You are the One who saw me before anyone else saw me, who loved me before I knew how to love You, and who called me to belong to You and to carry Your name through my life



Lord, if You have chosen me, do not let me live for myself


And if You have given me Your grace, do not let me use it for my own glory


Let everything within me be for the glory of Your name


Make me a vessel in Your hands, a heart that listens to Your voice, a person who walks wherever You lead, even when I do not understand the way


Teach me to say to You in every circumstance


I do not know everything, but I know in Whom I have placed my trust


Jesus, do not let mybweakness draw me away from You


Instead, make it a doorway through which I enter more deeply into Your grace


Do not let my falls convince me that I am a failure


Teach me to return to You every time, and to learn from You faithfulness and humility


Give me a heart that does not seek its own glory, nor the applause of people, but seeks Your approval


Make me a witness of Your love, not only through words, but through my life, through forgiveness, through humility, through service, and through every momentwhen I choose to belong to You


And if someone asks me, “Where does this love come from?” let my life be the answer


From You, Jesus


By Your grace


And for Your glory


So take all of me, and leave no place within me for anything that is not You


I am Yours


What I have is Yours


My path is Yours


My life is Yours


When I look at my weakness, remind me of Your grace


When I look at myself, remind me of Your love


And when I look toward the future, remind me that Your hand will never abandon me


My Lord Jesus, You chose me—so strengthen me


You called me—so lead me


You loved me—so teach me to love


And You gave me Your grace— so make my whole life a praise of Your glory



.Amen
