God,
If I live a few years on the earth and have to give up “comfort” it’s ok. And if I can’t always get to feel like I’m in charge or even that I know what I’m doing, I’m ok. And if I get persecuted for being who you called me to be, and people get right down nasty, it’s ok. And if I never get to live out the “American Dream” and have an impeccable husband, an impeccable house, and an impeccable mustang, and lots of impeccable kids, I’m ok. And if I don’t just “settle down” and “enjoy life, it’s ok. And if I spend my whole life in weird shadows in unglamorous places and never really get recognized, it’s ok. If I don’t do the traditional ministry and fit into a typical position, it’s ok. But God please be with me. Please be behind me, and in me, and through me. Let me at least know that you are guiding me and that you will see me through no matter what comes. When others fail me, and they will, I WANT YOU GOD! May I run to you and into your arms and throw myself at you day in and day out. May you really be my solace, my strength, my Lord, my first and greatest LOVE, MY JOY! God when it’s all said and done and my life has been poured out into completion – May you be glorified! May it be a sweet smelling offering to you and may you say “Well done good and faithful servant. Now come enter into my rest.” I will love you forever! I will worship you with my whole heart! I will write out through prophetic song your message to this generation. I surrender my life to you, MY GOD! My ONE and ONLY! Forever, I AM YOURS!
