Embracing Surrender

Lord, let this one prayer rise above all others that I have prayed... and above any other supplication ... It's a simple thing I ask Lord ... yet I ask it with all that I am ...

The granting of my request will rock the earth and the thundering power of it echo in the heavens ... At Your response ... the whole of Heaven will shout with joy in anticipation ... because they know Your heart ...

My request Lord ... the one thing I ask above all else ...

is that Thy will be done in all that You have created ...

and let it begin with me ...

In all that exists ... there is one power that cannot be contended ... one wisdom that cannot be compared ... and one heart purely righteous, all holy, faithful and true beyond any other ...
and they all belong to You ...

There's no brighter hope ... and no greater gain to be desired ... than Your plans for our lives .... and all of creation ... What must be suffered ... must be suffered ... what must be taken away ... must be taken away...

...so that we may become the full fruit of potential-realized in Your eyes ...

In all things ... Your plans for us are good far beyond our ability to even conceive to ask ... For Yours is the mind of the Good Master ...

and we are only the humble created ...

I pray that the end product of the raw dust that we are ... matches the brilliance of the twinkle in Your eye ... while You work to mold us ...

into the image of Your tender hearts' desire ...

Let not powers or principalities ... touch the perfection of Your design ... and let not our cries of pain in the weakness of our flesh ... distract You from Your holy work ...

as You shape us to be your friend ...

The truth of your wisdom ... the righteousness and goodness of Your ways ... and all of Your plans for all You have created ... are beyond the ability of our created minds to conceive ...

So my one desire ... for myself and for all that You have created is simply this ...

That Your will ... supersede any other request ... to be done in all things ...

on earth as it is in heaven.
