Matthew 16: 24 – 25
Then Jesus said to His disciples, “If anyone wishes to come after Me, he must deny himself, and take up his cross and follow Me. “For whoever wishes to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake will find it.”
I know it sounds so simple when we listen to Carrie Underwood singing her song Jesus take the Wheel. I actually have thought about it, I have given my life to the Lord Jesus, the question is have I truly surrender my life into the Lord's hands. Are there areas in my life that I am still the boss over and let Jesus just see from a distance?
We all have control over our lives and I know its sounds easy stating Jesus take the Wheel. I have decided today to truly surrender my life into the hands of Jesus Christ, my life, my finances, my relationships, my job, my friends, my family. I am not in control and that is so true, I think I might be but actually, that’s not true.
Prayer
Abba Father, please help me I don’t want to be the doormat to people who believe they have privileges. Lord because I try and do my best and keep my best foot forward doesn’t mean I am in good standing with You. If I need shaking up in my life, I know it's not easy but then I think You should shake me, let me wake up. I don’t even want to think of breaking because I feel I have been broken all over but if there is something that needs breaking please help me endure the pain and not lose faith. My prayer is that You will make me and change me into what You want me to be. I am praying this in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen
