I wrote this prayer a while back, and I had every intention of posting it.. Alas, I have been out of town, so I had yet to post it. I felt that it was still relevant, and it is definitely the cry of my heart.. So here's my most fervent prayer as of late.
"Jesus, give me a love like yours. I am realizing more and more, every single day, how incapable I am of living a life worthy of You, and how broken I truly am. God, I am so messed up. But I can honestly say that I truly want nothing more than to have a love like yours. God, I know that a little bit of Your immense, glorious love can go a long way. I simply want to experience all of it! The little tiny bit I have experienced has been so amazing! And I just can't imagine what would become of myself, what furthering of the Gospel could happen if I let myself experience more of it? Cuz I mean, really... Usually it's myself that gets in the way of letting You work and move and change. You never quite loving but us humans just choose not to accept all of Your wonderful love and grace and peace and mercy! I know it might be dangerous to say so, but I want to experience all of this to the fullest! And maybe this is something that I will never be able to do until I get to Heaven and see my Savior face-to-face.. But I want to experience as much of it here on earth, right now, as I can! And I elieve the way to go about this is by loving like Jesus. I think that's a good place to start. And lots of prayer. So, here I am Lord! Please answer this fervent prayer. I want so badly to just be able to love like you this summer. Please stretch me, and allow me to show Your grace to every would I meet. Lord, just use me and work in me, more than You ever have before. Be my strength, and fuel me with energy and passion every day. Please use this summer to prepare me for this next year at Liberty, and for a future in missions, and for the rest of my life.
Thank You for your faithfulness to me, even when I am so unfaithful. I praise You for it.
In Your glorious name Father,
Amen."
(So be it...)
