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.
