Twice in one week..I know I know, don't get too excited.

"Lord, today I give myself anew to you. I give up all my own plans and purposes, all my own desires and hopes, and accept Thy will for my life. I give myself, my time, my all, utterly to Thee to be Thine forever. Fill me and seal me with Thy Holy Spirit. Use me as Thou wilt, send me where Thou wilt, work out Thy whole will in my life at any cost, now and forever."-Betty Scott Stam (a missionary in China who was led through the streets with her husband to their execution by decapitation, while their baby lay in its crib. This was her daily prayer.)

Lord, I praise You for Your sovereignty in my life. I praise You for Your steadfast love. For bestowing upon me grace after grace. For allowing me to see and behold your character and majesty. For reminding me what matters most and to what end I live my life. Help me to continually seek after You. Help me to keep my eyes upon heaven and what is eternal rather than temporal. I want to give myself to serve You and others. I want to exchange everything that I am for everything You are. "My weariness for Your strength, my darkness for Your light, my problems for Your solutions, my burdens for Your freedom, my frustrations for Your peace, my hopes for Your promises, my afflictions for Your balm of comfort, my questions for Your answers, my confusion for Your knowledge, my doubt for Your assurance, my nothingness for Your awesomeness, the impossible for the possible."-Elizabeth George
