Surrender

Lord,
I can only confess concerning my yesterdays
and I cannot make any promises about the future,
but in this moment, right now,
I give myself to You.

I confess to failures in my past.
These can’t be changed, only forgiven.
I long to make promises concerning my future,
but honesty with You and with myself
makes me give You only me and only for today.

In this moment I offer myself to you as a living sacrifice
praying for You to make me holy and acceptable.

Take control of my thinking until my thoughts
are more Yours than mine.
Direct my actions till my selfishness is
replaced by selfless service to You and others.

Lord,
I’m really inviting You to invade my person.
I’m asking You to inhabit me,
to take a new lease on my life and make me once again
truly the temple of the Holy Spirit.

Amen
