“Then he said to them all: “Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross daily and follow me. ²⁴ For whoever wants to save their life will lose it, but whoever loses their life for me will save it.”

Luke 9:23-24 NIV

Father God, my life is Yours

Please take every part of it

Every area of my life that does not honor You…take it

Every insecurity, every fear, every selfish desire and past mistake…I give it all to You

Please put those things to death so that I can experience Your abundant life

In Jesus name, Amen

“I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I now live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.”

Galatians 2:20 NIV
