Tonight Lord, I want to thank you for the hard things.
I take you at your Word and believe that you have allowed this because it is good for me and is somehow an answer to prayer. I have asked to be changed and to be made like you. I have told you I want you to do anything you will with my life.
I meant it, and I mean it now.
As I stand before you, I choose to rest in your promises and your faithfulness to use for your Glory all that is yielded to you.
So Lord, I accept this matter as from your hand. While I pray it through, I ask that you do the deepest work in my heart in order to make me like you.
I want to be a trusted Soldier and know that you are able to take me through the hottest furnace, only to bring me out without any lingering smell of the fire.
Whatever it takes Lord. I am willing.
Thank you for loving me enough to teach me to trust.
