Reaching out

Dear Lord,

Thank you for your many blessings in my life.

Thank you that in spite of of the years of luke warmness and general weakness as your son you still love me.

Thank you for the opportunities you have given, to live, to learn, to love.

Forgive me for being impatient, for leaning on my own strength and understanding, For attempting to box your plans for this life you have for me in.

Forgive me for focusing on the gift rather than the giver, for being discouraged and not seeing the forest because the trees were blocking my view.

I love you, with all my heart I want to love you more. to live for you, to trust you and seek you in everything.

Lord, never before has saying things like let thy will be done been so hard. Afterall, in this season, you have indeed granted my deepest dreams and desires.

But lord, I am still your servant, trying to be humble, still the man that said with up lifted hands, here I am, send me

Lord I give you my heart,

I give you my soul.

I live for you alone.

Every breath that I take,

Every moment I'm awake.

Lord have your way in me.

Amen
