starve the flesh.

Father, I ask that you would show me ways I can constantly grow in my roles as wife, daughter, daughter-in-law, personal trainer, server, babysitter, youth leader, & just simply as your child: saved entirely by Your grace. I ask that you would help me to focus, and channel my life & energy into ways that bring you glory. 

I pray that everyday, You will become greater, and I will become less. 

Fuel my heart with creativity, not just with paint and yarn, but also my imagination... Let's brainstorm ideas on how to clothe the naked, feed the hungry, bring hope to those with none. Give tirelessly to anyone who lacks anything. Love without becoming exhausted, because this is all for You.

The thing that makes my heart beat is knowing that through your relentless love, you allow me to always be growing, giving, loving. With you it is possible. 

Let's be close, God. Ultra close.

After all, it is You who sustains my heart beat and fills my lungs with oxygen.

I 

truly

am

n.o.t.h.i.n.g

without my

miracle working,

life giving,

disease healing

Father in Heaven.

(YOU & YOU ALONE ARE WORTHY OF ALL OUR PRAISE)
