It will be my joy to say Your will Your way always
I lay me down I’m not my own
I belong to you alone
Lay me down, lay me down
Hand on my heart this much is true
There’s no life apart from you
Lay me down, lay me down

“Lay Me Down” – Chris Tomlin
Father,
May I wake every morning with a passion and a hunger to do your will.
May my heart be so full of gratitude for what you have done for me, and full of love for you as my Father, savior, friend,… my God, that your will is what I constantly seek.
May I never be satisfied with anything less than everything that you have call me to be and do.
While often those in the world boldly proclaim daily their love for drugs, sex, money, and/or people who are less than you have created them to be, may I never shrink from boldly proclaiming every day of my life my love for You through my words and deeds.
May I love others as you have loved me and may my love for them cause me to proclaim truth as you lead me to.
May I go to bed each night satisfied with how I have lived each day.
May I never take for granted that you gave all for me and may I live in light of it!
I pray this in the mighty names of Jesus!!
Amen!
Because we are free
our obedience to God is difficult:
it can be achieved only after contest and struggle,
and just this makes the reward of obedience
even more to be sought after.
– Irenaeus (Haer. IV.37.6–7).
