Dear Father God,

Grant that I present my body as a living sacrifice to You. Convert my heart; make it a heart of flesh, not of stone. Renew me daily so that I seek what is above. Grant that I am not distracted by earthly treasures.

Grant that I acknowledge You in all things, giving thanks always, praying without ceasing, so that I am not deceived by the evil one. Allow me to sufficiently empty myself daily so that I can more fully surrender to Your will and place all my trust in You.

Thank You for working all things for good for those who love you and are called according to your purpose. Call me today. Choose me. I will follow. Thank You for leading me to people I need and to people who need me.

Allow me to be the clay. Shape me, form me, grow me, into the image of Christ. Strengthen me to carry my cross with Jesus today. Use me to encourage others of the redemptive power of Your Son to fully heal and restore.

Thank You for all You have done for me, are doing, and will do. In the glorious name of Jesus, My Savior and Lord.

Amen.
