I am open.

Tonight I will fall asleep to dream of you. My steady breathing will slow to match the pace of Your peace. Tomorrow I will wake up with You still resting on my mind. I will open my eyes for You. I will breathe in the fresh day, in dedication to You. Every breath of my lungs and every blink of my eyes will be because of You and for You. And Your heart will beat rhythmically in time with my own, inside of my own. And so each step will be taken with a motive of service and passion and praise. I only want to please You, I only want to love You, for You loved me first. And these hands will hold whatever they can that You need them to hold, and these fingers will be always pointing in the direction of You. You truly are all I need. Using my mouth I will speak life into its place, because of You, and in Your mighty name. Whisper into my big ears and show my dull grey-blue eyes and hold my small right hand and guide my clumsy feet. Be all that You are, in me. I can only stay out of the way of You, and let You do what You are here to do, in me. Less of me and more of You. I pray that I don't hinder Your power and Your love in any way.


Be Lord over my life and do with me what You will. Because I want Your kingdom to come and I want Your will to be done, here on this slowly dying Earth, just as it is in Heaven. I am open now, Jesus.
