Surrendering myself, I bask in the presence of the Almighty King. With the pieces of my shattered soul spilling from my hands, I come to You with a self-resigned prayer. Only Your hands can fit the jagged edges of a hard experience together in a way that makes sense. Only Your love can soothe the injury left by love unrequited. Where wounds are left open and the infection of loneliness spreads, the nearness of Your presence is the only thing that truly heals. I have strayed too far into dangerous territory, Lord. It was Your relentless pursuit that kept me from going headlong over a cliff of destruction. In my wandering, I met with many enemies only to discover that my greatest foe is myself. Let me not hold myself back when it is perfectly clear You have a plan for me. I submit to You, Lord. I yield – To Your goodness. To Your truth. To Your loving kindness. Take me as I am but do not leave me undone. With trust and budding faith, I commit to You, my Savior. Amplify my spirit by the indwelling nature of Your eternal goodness. My needs are many, Lord. May my wants be few. You are my absolute, my one and only. You are God alone, high and exalted. Under the blessed canopy of truth in Isaiah 25:1 and the authority of Christ, I bow in prayer.

Lord, You are my God; I will exalt You, I will give thanks to Your name; For You have worked wonders, Plans formed long ago, with perfect faithfulness.
Isaiah 25:1, NASB
