Lord, tonight I want to thank you for always taking me one step beyond settled comfort. I have told you I want you and I have told you I want as much of you as I can have and know in this life.
I understand that deep places in my heart must be excavated and I must follow you through passages that are by sight, far too small.
Nonetheless Lord, whatever it takes. I love you and I love your Word. I love your people and want to be made into your likeness. Please teach me how to pray about this matter.
Oh Lord, as I stand before you, I ask you to do anything in your vast creativity that can be done in my heart and mind.
I submit to the surgical knife of the Lover of My Soul.
