I flipped through my journal from 2007 looking for a devotional that I want to use again, and in the process I read pieces of my entries. Here are some tid bits:
"Oh, God, direct my steps. I don't want anyone else to. I want You, and I need You."
"God, I take hold of Your grace and Your power, and I give You my pain . . . ."
"Make use of me, God."
"I want to go deeper . . . I want to be called to the dance floor . . . ."
"If there is one big thing that's holding me back from being and living out all that God desires for me, it's my heart's hold on my 'normal' life." --- "I surrender my 'normal' life. Confuse it; invade it; disturb it; strip it away. Free me to know You and be used by You."
"Awaken me, God. Awaken my heart, my desires, my passions, my purposes. I don't want to walk around dead - I want to be fully alive as a testimony for You. . . . Exhaust me in serving You, in worshipping You, in giving all of me."
"May my cry come before God; may my lips overflow with praise; may my tongue sing His Word."
"God, I pray that I will abandon my selfish desires, and ways. My little kingdom. And that that would free me to know You, and seek You. To increase Your Kingdom. It's the cry of my heart. . . ."
That's just a sampling. I used to journal and write prayers to Jesus all the time. I want more again. More of Jesus.
