When our hearts overflow with love for God, this is the natural cry. It is the echo of finding the "pearl of great price" and the "treasure hidden in a field" (Matthew 13:44-46), for which we would joyfully surrender all else.
Here is a prayer and declaration in response.

You Are My Everything
The world offers its glittering lies,
Its temporary,fading prize.
It offers love that soon grows cold,
And stories that are quickly told.
But You, O Lord, are more than all,
You are the One on whom I call.
When I am lost,You are my Way,
The Truth that guides me through the day.
You are the Life that never ends,
My Savior,Counselor, and Friend.
You are everything in the world to me.
You are the air my spirit breathes,
The faith that in my heart believes.
You are the water for my soul,
The One who makes the broken whole.
You are my shelter from the storm,
The fire that keeps my spirit warm.
You are my song in joy and pain,
My sunshine and my healing rain.
"Whom have I in heaven but you?
And earth has nothing I desire besides you."(Psalm 73:25)
So let the world fade from my view,
As I keep fixing my eyes on You.
For in Your presence,I am full,
Your love has made my heart to know,
That all I'll ever need,You are.
My North,my South, my Shining Star.
You are my everything.
My past's redemption.
My present's peace.
My future's hope.
My All in All.

A Prayer of Surrender and Adoration:
"My Lord and my God, I confess it today: You are everything to me. Forgive me for the times I have chased other loves and made idols of lesser things.
You are my portion and my inheritance. You are my strength and my song. I desire nothing and no one above You. Take the highest place in my heart, and let every other affection flow from my love for You.
Thank you for being the one constant, the one satisfaction, the one treasure that can never be taken away. You are my everything.
In the name of Jesus, who is the image of the invisible God and in whom all things hold together, Amen."
