The Potter

LORD, I need YOU . . .

How do I live in closer union with YOU?

YOU created me as I am.

With individuality.

With my personality.

People, places and things in my life have shaped me and gotten me to where I am today.

Here I am – just as I am.

Change me, LORD – to what YOU want me to be.

And help me to be – YOURS . . .

In every breath I take, with every move I make – YOURS . . .

GOD, I want to follow YOU with all my heart – Trusting YOU . . . even when I am afraid. (which is more than not these days)

YOU know me so much better than I know myself.

Please, help me surrender to YOU . . . the POTTER . . .

: Mark 8:36 – For whoever would save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake and the Gospel’s will save it.

• LORD, all I can do is trust YOU . . .

: Psalm 139:13-16 – For You formed my inward parts; You knitted me together in my mother’s womb. I praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Wonderful are Your works; my soul knows it very well. My frame was not hidden from You, when I was being made in secret, intricately woven in the depths of the earth. Your Eyes saw my unformed substance; in Your books were written, every one of them, the days that were formed for me, when as yet there was none of them.

• GOD, YOU see, YOU hear, YOU know. YOU always have, and YOU always will. Please, Help me trust YOU . . .

: II Corinthians 3:17-18 – Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom. And we all, with unveiled face, beholding the Glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from one degree of Glory to another. For this comes from the Lord Who is the Spirit.

• GOD, YOU know best what YOU are doing. Please, help me let go and let YOU . . .
