Dear Lord Jesus,

Thank You for growing in me a heart that loves, easily and deeply, all my brothers and sisters who acknowledge You. Our wondrous gift is your commandment to love one another as you love us; and through this, people will know we are Your disciples.

Thank You for our hearts of flesh, hearts that lack judgment, and are full of understanding and forgiveness. Strengthen me so that I always serve my brothers and sisters in need. Fasten my Sandals and belt so that I serve them and You well.

Fill me with Your Spirit so that I am full of peace, love, joy, and patience to serve well and to love well. Grow me, form me, into Your likeness. Transform me into your purpose for my life.

I surrender.

I surrender everything I am to You. Your dreams and plans for my life are so much greater than my own. In You, I have ultimate freedom, peace, love, joy. I willingly take my cross daily in order to walk with You, in Your light.

In Your glorious above all other Names, Jesus.

Amen
