Have Your Way

Jul 8

2 Chronicles 16:9 - “For the eyes of the Lord range throughout the earth to strengthen those whose hearts are fully committed to Him.”

With my lips I say,

“Call me, Lord, send me!”

In my heart,

I am afraid.

Am I ready,

am I righteous?

Am I honest,

am I pure?

All that I see is my weakness,

all that I know is my insufficiency.

How I long for the Lord to send me;

how I fear that the Lord is sending me.

If only I felt more prepared,

more certain and more free.

If only the Lord followed my timing,

my feelings and my desires.

Is there a greater fool that walks this earth,

anyone more foolish than me?

Have Your way, O Lord;

have me and have Your way.

In Your timing,

because of Your grace,

for Your glory,

and by Your strength alone,

have Your way.

Amen.
