Daily Prayer

Surrender

I choose to hold up my hands as a symbol of surrender. My life is not about me.

I surrender to your Lordship.

I surrender my preferences, prejudices and position to you.

My fears, finances, friends and family to you.

Generosity

I choose to hold out my hands as a symbol of generosity.

What I have is not mine.

I am only a steward of all that you have given me.

I want to mirror the way that you opened your hand to us and lavished your love and life upon us.

I want to live an open handed life in a closed fist culture.

Mission

I choose to hold my hands forward as a symbol of mission.

I want to live for something greater than me, I want to embrace your kingdom mission.

I want to embrace and welcome your mission.

To the lost, last, least and lonely.

To the poor, powerless, privileged and persecuted.
