Love is Power

God,
Your love is power. As I sit here in stillness and submission, your love envelopes me. Your blood washes over me replacing all my fear and failure with hope and renewal. I cast my worries upon you out of frustration and despair—and you gather them up, freeing me and instilling peace beyond my comprehension. You take my life full of guilt, and leave me with the gift of salvation. O yes God! Your love is power!
So make me your servant. I am your vessel to do with as you wish. Help me do nothing out of my own selfish ambition, but rather let me be humble and lift others above myself. I wish to be a light on a hill—not hidden from anything, but rather proclaiming truth to all who will hear. Let me be your hands and feet. Help me mourn for those in sorrow, care for the weak and feeble, and love the unlovable. Help me listen to the meek, and calm the conflicted.
Lord I want to pursue all that is holy. I will flee from temptation and love all that is good. I will stand up for the persecuted, fight against injustices, and pray for those who prey on the innocent. I want to be unshakable and immovable. God give me wisdom, strength, and love so that I may become the man of God that you have intended for me to be. Show me where to go and I will go bearing you love O God.
Amen.
