Oh Lord, my God, creator of the heavens and the Earth, I surrender to you all that I am and all that I have.

Be with me for all time, in peace and turmoil.

never let your spirit depart from me.

I take refuge in your hands, I rest in your arms.

You are my safety. You are my joy. You are my peace.

Forever will my voice sing your praises

forever Will my hands reach for you

forever will my eyes seek to drink in your glory.

Forever will my heart yearn for you until the day I can be in your presence.

Until the day I can reside with you in the city of God upon the new Earth.

Until the day when I can walk with you in the cool of the morning just like Adam himself.

I will wait for you, I will call for you, I will serve and obey you.

I thank you, Lord for your mercy, I thank you Lord for your grace, I thank you Lord for your love and all the blessings thereof.

I am not worthy. I am just a pile of dirt and yet you’ve clothed me in your royal robes.

You have called me to speak of your wondrous nature and your divine being to all of your sheep, all of your people.

You have called me to do wonderful things in your name and I beg of you now to give me the power to do all these things and more, in your honor, your grace and for your glory.

Let me not fall to the Temptations of this world,

let me not fall to the darkness in my heart, let it be removed and replaced by your light that will shine through me like a beacon of hope to the world.

In all things let me diminish so that I am unseen, so that I am hidden behind you, so that I am hidden, and you are in full view.

Praise be to you oh Lord, forever more

Amen
