living sacrifices

Dear Heavenly Father,
I come to You in the name of Jesus. I accept Your invitation to eat at Your table, to feast on Your love and faithfulness. Just as Jesus presented Himself as a sacrifice for sin at the Last Supper, I now embrace the mercy of God and follow His example. I present my body as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable in Your sight, because I have been washed in the blood of Your precious Son. No longer will I yield my body to disobedience and my members to sin. I present them anew to You. I thank You for the life of Christ coursing through my veins. Jesus, You are the Living Vine, and I am a branch. I thank You for the ability to bear fruit in You. You are my life and strength, and I now draw from that well than never runs dry. I lay aside every weight and sin that might try to hold me back. Let me realize Your love as never before. Help me to love You in all I am. I embrace life in the Spirit, which is to daily deny myself, take up my cross, and follow You.
Love, Your Daughter.
