Friday 

A Dedication Prayer

and then

More videos to Stir up ZEAL for JESUS!

Father God,

I come before you seeking to be overwhelmed - 

with your desires,

with a passion for your will,

with a massive motivation

to echo

your heart of compassion for the lost and lukewarm. 

I am not satisfied with where I am with you.

Psalm 42 inspires me to say,

"As the deer longs for streams of water,

so I long for you, O God.

I am hungry  for your righteousness

to be seen

in my life more and more."

I want to show forth my love for you

in my words,

in my actions,

and in all the depths of my heart. 

I will not live my life giving you

the scraps

of my time and my energy. 

I will place you on the highest throne in my heart.

I will be willing to speak when you want me to speak

and

be bold when you want me to be bold -

even if my knees are shaking.

Because you mean more to me

than any earthly thing.

And it is my desire that my love for you grow

exponentially

every day. 

In Jesus' Mighty Name I pray,

Amen
