LORD, I am Yours

Whatever the cost may be, may Your will be done in my life. I realize I am not here on earth to do my own thing, or to seek my own fulfillment or my own glory.

I am not here to indulge my desires, to increase my possessions, to impress people, to be popular, to prove I am somebody important, or to promote myself.

I am not here even to be relevant or successful by human standards. I am here to please You.

I offer myself to You, for You are worthy. All that I am or hope to be, I owe to You. I am Yours by creation, and every day I receive from You life and breath and all things.

I am Yours because You bought me, and the price You paid was the precious blood of Christ.  

You alone, the Triune God, are worthy to be my Lord and Master.  I yield to You: Gracious and glorious Heavenly Father; Lord Jesus who loved me and gave Himself for me; Holy Spirit and Your gracious influence and empowering.

All that I am and all that I have I give to You.
