Prayer: Take It Away

Lord there are so many times when I find it difficult to surrender

Not because I don’t want to give up my own will, but I’m just too lazy

So strength, Lord,  is what I call for

I need You to resupply me so I can throw this all on You

I know You want my burden and You want to sustain me (Psalm 55:22)

But God I have nothing left

Discipline me Lord, let me feel what You feel

I trade this fleshly burden for Your burden of compassion

Make me right and reveal to me Your plans for me

For I know they are many

Use me Lord, for I know I must have a purpose

And God,

Take this laziness AWAY

Take my slumber AWAY

Take my weariness AWAY

Take me AWAY

Take it AWAY

And draw nigh,

Encouraging me, sustaining me, strengthening me,

Equipping me for your service and for your will to be done

I’m ready Lord, so take it away.

 

So let us not grow weary in doing what is right, for we will reap at harvest time, if we do not give up. – Galatians 6:9
