Oh God, do not forget me in my darkness, in the weariness that tries to pull me down, down, ever lower, ever darker.
By your hand pull me out into the light again; do not turn your face from me.
Hear my silent cries as they arise to you.

Oh, how I want to live this life well, with honor, representing you in truth and righteousness. Make the truths that I know become actual experience in my heart.
For how can I present to others what I do not know myself?

Bring me through; make me wholly yours. I want to see your face, to know you more than anyone else does.

Make me humble, soft, and obedient to you. Remove everything of myself, and fill me with your presence and life.

Break me, mold me, heal me, use me. Make me willing to be willing to surrender to you in every area of my life.

I put my trust in you.
