You are the reason I am alive.

 Amen. That is a profound declaration of purpose and devotion. Here is a poem in response to that heartfelt truth.

---

The Reason

You are the reason I am alive, The breath that fills this frame. Not just to simply stay and breathe, But to glorify Your name. “For in him we live and move and have our being.”(Acts 17:28)

Before my form was ever shaped, You knew me and You planned, A purpose and a destiny, Held within Your hand. “For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb.”(Psalm 139:13)

You are the reason that my heart Still beats within my chest. The source of every morning’s grace, My soul’s eternal rest.

You are the reason I have hope When darkness seems to win. You are the reason I can rise Again,and yet again.

You are the reason for the joy That surprises me with song. The reason I have strength to stand, When I am not so strong.

So let my life, with every pulse, With every step I take, Be a living testament For my dear Savior’s sake.

You are the reason. Only You. My first,my last, my always true.

Amen.

I surrender my Life to your loving arms.

 Amen. This is the most beautiful and complete surrender—to fall into the everlasting, loving arms of God. Here is a prayer in response.

---

I Surrender

I surrender my life, The whole of it,Lord, to You. Not just the parts I understand, But the broken and confused parts,too.

I lay down my striving, My need to control and to plan. I release every burden, Into Your capable hand.

I let go of the past, Its regrets and its deep,aching shame. I let go of the future, And trust in Your holy name.

I fall into Your loving arms, So strong and so safe and so wide. In this surrender,I am not lost; In Your embrace,I am found. “Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you.”(1 Peter 5:7)

Here, I find perfect rest, Here,I am fully known. These arms were stretched out on a cross, To claim me as Your own.

I do not surrender to emptiness or void, But to a love that will never let go. I surrender my life,my all, to You, For You love me more than I know.

Take it, Jesus. It is Yours. I am home.

Amen.

Set the captives free

 Amen. This is the very mission of Christ, proclaimed in His first sermon and fulfilled at the cross. Here is a poem declaring this powerful truth.

---

Set The Captives Free

The Spirit of the Lord is on me still, To answer heaven’s eternal will. He has anointed me to preach good news, To break the chains and loose the binding screws. “The Spirit of the Sovereign Lord is on me, because the Lord has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim freedom for the captives and release from darkness for the prisoners.”(Isaiah 61:1)

To set the captives free from dungeon deep, From promises they could not keep. To open doors that were sealed shut, And heal the soul that was cut.

Free from the prison of addiction’s night, Free to walk in the Spirit’s light. Free from the guilt that held them fast, Free from a unforgivable past. “So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed.”(John 8:36)

Free from the fear that steals all breath, Free from the spiritual power of death. Free from the lies they’ve come to trust, Rising up from the grave’s dark dust.

This is the year of the Lord’s own favor, Displayed in Christ,our mighty Savior. He took the keys from the enemy’s hand, And now we walk in this free land.

So proclaim it now with a holy shout, Let the prisoners of hope come out! The chains are broken,the debt is paid, The foundation for freedom forever laid.

Set the captives free! For the Son has made us free indeed!

Amen.

Bondage to Freedom

 Amen. That is the powerful narrative of the Gospel—a journey from captivity to liberation. Here is a poem on that transformative passage.

---

From Bondage to Freedom

I dwelt in a house of bondage, In chains I did not see, A prisoner to the lies I told, That kept me from being free.

I served a taskmaster of shame, For wages of despair, And breathed the dust of that dry land, And thought no one was there.

But then a Voice spoke through the gloom, A Word both sharp and sweet, “I have come down to set you free, To give you mercy’s seat.”

It was not with a sword of steel, But with a nail-scarred hand, He broke the locks and snapped the chains, And led me from that land. “It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery.”(Galatians 5:1)

He led me out from Pharaoh’s reach, Through seas of grace and blood, Into a wide and spacious place, The favor of my God. “He brought me out into a spacious place; he rescued me because he delighted in me.”(Psalm 18:19)

The past may whisper, “You’re still bound,” The enemy may lie, But I am free,yes, wholly free— On this truth I rely.

So I will walk in this new way, This liberty He bought, And live the life of promise, In the freedom I was sought.

From bondage… to freedom. Hallelujah,what a Savior!

Amen.

God heal the brokenhearted.

 Amen. This is a profound and comforting truth straight from the heart of God. He is not a distant observer of our pain; He is the Healer who draws near to those whose hearts are shattered.

This promise is explicitly declared in Scripture:

"The LORD is near to the brokenhearted and saves the crushed in spirit." - Psalm 34:18 (ESV)

"He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds." - Psalm 147:3 (ESV)

What Does It Mean That God Heals the Brokenhearted?

A "broken heart" can come from many sources: grief, betrayal, rejection, loss, or deep disappointment. God's healing involves:

· His Presence: He comes near. He does not always immediately remove the pain, but He promises to be with us in the midst of it (Isaiah 43:2).

· His Comfort: The Holy Spirit is called the "Comforter" (or "Helper," John 14:16). He brings a peace that surpasses understanding (Philippians 4:7).

· His Restoration: He gently binds up our wounds over time. He can take our deepest pain and use it to bring about purpose, compassion, and depth in our lives and in our ministry to others (2 Corinthians 1:3-4).

· His Hope: He reminds us that our story is not over. He can bring beauty from ashes (Isaiah 61:3).

A Prayer for the Brokenhearted

Heavenly Father,

You see the broken pieces of my heart. You know the pain that I carry, the hurt that words cannot even express. I bring my brokenness to You now, because You promised that You are near to those who are brokenhearted.

Please, Lord, heal my heart. Draw near to me in this pain. Wrap me in Your loving presence and let me feel Your comfort. Bind up my wounds as only You can.

Restore my joy. Replace my mourning with a garment of praise. Give me hope for tomorrow and peace for today. Help me to trust that You are working even in this pain, and that You will not waste a single tear.

Thank you for being the God who heals.

In the name of Jesus, the Man of Sorrows who is acquainted with grief, Amen.

A Poem: "He Heals the Brokenhearted"

"He Heals the Brokenhearted"

The heart that's broken, crushed, and sore, The spirit that can't take much more, The tears that fall throughout the night, The loss of every hope and light—

This is the place where God draws near, To whisper hope,to calm the fear. This is the hurt He loves to heal, A promise that is true and real.

He does not stand afar off then, He enters in the pain of men. He gathers every broken part, And holds them close upon His heart.

With gentle hands, He binds the wound, A work of love,in time, attuned. He takes the ashes,makes them new, And gives a different,brighter view.

So if your heart is broken today, In silent grief,or on display, Lift up your eyes,and you will see, The God who heals,and sets you free.

He heals the brokenhearted, true, And makes their joy again like new. Trust in His process,trust His hand, To lead you to the promised land.

If you are brokenhearted today, know that God sees you, He knows your pain, and He is with you. Bring your hurt to Him. He is a safe place for your sorrow. Trust Him to begin a gentle work of healing in your heart.

Lion of Judah

 Amen. "Lion of Judah" is one of the most powerful and majestic titles for Jesus Christ, rich with symbolism and promise. It speaks of His supreme authority, His victorious power, and His royal lineage as the conquering King.

This title has its roots in the Old Testament and finds its ultimate fulfillment in the book of Revelation:

"Judah is a lion's cub; from the prey, my son, you have gone up. He stooped down; he crouched as a lion and as a lioness; who dares rouse him?" - Genesis 49:9 (ESV) (Jacob's blessing to his son Judah)

"And one of the elders said to me, 'Weep no more; behold, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has conquered...'" - Revelation 5:5 (ESV)

What Does "Lion of Judah" Mean?

· Royalty and Kingship: Judah was the tribe of King David and the royal lineage through which the Messiah would come. Jesus is the ultimate King from this line, fulfilling the prophecy.

· Strength and Power: The lion is the king of beasts, symbolizing absolute strength, authority, and sovereignty. Jesus is the all-powerful King who conquers all His enemies.

· Victory: The Lion of Judah "has conquered." He conquered sin, death, and Satan through His sacrificial death and resurrection. He is the undefeated Champion.

· Protection: A lion protects its pride. Jesus, as the Lion of Judah, protects His people and defends them from their enemies.

It is a beautiful paradox that the "Lion of Judah" is also the "Lamb of God" who was slain (Revelation 5:5-6). He conquered not with violent force, but with sacrificial love.

A Prayer to the Lion of Judah

Lord Jesus, Lion of Judah,

We worship You. You are the mighty King, the Root of David, the victorious Lion who has conquered sin, death, and the grave.

We praise You for Your power and Your strength. We thank You that You are our protector and our defender. No enemy can stand against You. You are the ultimate authority, and every knee will one day bow to You.

Help us to live in the confidence and security of Your victory. When we feel afraid or overwhelmed, remind us that the Lion of Judah is on our side. Roar over Your people, O Lord, and let Your enemies be scattered.

We look forward with hope to the day when You will return as the conquering King to establish Your eternal reign.

In Your mighty and majestic name, Amen.

A Poem: "The Lion of Judah"

"The Lion of Judah"

From Judah's tribe, a Lion came, To take away our sin and shame. Not with a roar of fierce attack, But down a humble,painful track.

He crouched low in a manger born, A King of glory,yet now torn. He stooped as prey upon the tree, For rebels like you and me.

But do not think the Lion weak, For it was victory He did seek. And when He roared,"It is done!" The power of sin and death undone.

Now He has risen, ascended high, The Lord of all,the King most nigh. And now He waits for the Father's cue, To come again,for me and you.

So hear the roar of Judah's Lion, Over every power and demon scion. He is the King,He is the Lord, To be forever praised adored.

The Lion of Judah breaks every chain, And forevermore He shall reign. So bow the knee and bless His name, The Lion who was slain,yet overcame!

May the reality of Jesus as the Lion of Judah fill you with awe, courage, and unwavering confidence in His ultimate victory and kingship over every circumstance in your life.

Anyone lack wisdom, Let him ask from God.

 Amen. That is a profound and practical promise for every moment of our lives. Here is a poem on that divine invitation from James 1:5.

---

Ask For Wisdom

If anyone lacks wisdom—and who does not? For every day begins a plot We have not read,a path unseen, A choice to make,a bridge between What is and what is yet to be— A need for clarity.

Then let him ask of God, who gives, From whom all wise perspective lives. Who gives to all both freely,straight, Without a sigh,without a weight Of judgment for the need we feel, But grace to know,and grace to heal. “If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you.”(James 1:5)

He does not hide the way ahead, Or give a stone instead of bread. But opens up the mind of Christ, In whom all wisdom is sufficed. “In whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.”(Colossians 2:3)

So I will ask, in faith, today, For wisdom for along the way. To see this crossroads,choice, or test, Through His perspective,which is best.

Not just to know the right or wrong, But how to love,and be made strong. Not just for facts inside my head, But for the daily,wisdom-led.

Thank You, O God, who gives the word, That every prayer for wisdom’s heard.

Amen.

You are my Good Shepherd.

 Amen. What a comforting and powerful truth. Here is a poem celebrating Jesus, our Good Shepherd.

---

My Good Shepherd

You are my Good Shepherd, I shall not want,I shall not lack. You lead me to green pastures, And on Your grace,I look back. “The Lord is my shepherd, I lack nothing.”(Psalm 23:1)

You know my name, You call me out, You quiet every fear and doubt. You leave the ninety-nine to find This one lost lamb You kept in mind. “I am the good shepherd; I know my sheep and my sheep know me.”(John 10:14)

Your rod corrects, Your staff will guide, You walk with me right by my side. Through darkest valleys,I will go, But never alone—this I know. “Even though I walk through the darkest valley, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me.”(Psalm 23:4)

You laid Your life down for the sheep, A promise You will always keep. No wolf can snatch me from Your hand, This is the promise of the land. “I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep.”(John 10:11)

So I will follow where You lead, On You alone my soul will feed. For You are faithful,strong, and true, My Shepherd,who will see me through.

Amen.

You wash my sin clean

 Amen. That is the beautiful, foundational truth of our redemption. Here is a poem celebrating that cleansing grace.

---

You Wash Me Clean

You wash my sin clean, Not with water from a stream, But with a flood of crimson grace, That pours from Your own holy face.

You scrub the stain no soap could touch, You love and forgive me oh so much. You take the guilt that clings like grime, And make me new,time after time. “Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin!”(Psalm 51:2)

The deepest dye, the darkest mark, Is vanished,gone into the dark. Now whiter than the winter snow, Is how Your perfect eyes see me now. “Though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they are red as crimson, they shall be like wool.”(Isaiah 1:18)

This is the miracle of the cross, To see my sin and count it loss, To trade my filth for righteousness, My hopelessness for blessedness.

So I stand clean, before Your throne, Because of love I’ve always known. Not by my work,but by Your own, I am washed clean,I am Your own.

Thank you, Jesus, for the flood, For washing me in Your own blood.

Amen.

Bless is the day you adopted me.

 Amen. What a beautiful and deeply personal celebration of salvation. Here is a poem honoring that sacred moment of being adopted into God's family.

---

The Day You Adopted Me

Blessed is the day You adopted me, When my soul,an orphan, was set free. You did not ask if I was good, You understood as no one could.

You signed the papers with Your blood, A rising,overwhelming flood Of grace that washed my name all clean, And made me part of what You mean When You say"child," when You say "heir," And took me forever into Your care. “He predestined us for adoption to sonship through Jesus Christ, in accordance with his pleasure and will.”(Ephesians 1:5)

You gave me Your name, a royal ring, You taught my hesitant heart to sing. You gave me a place at Your family table, A love so steadfast,always stable. “See what great love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! And that is what we are!”(1 John 3:1)

No longer stranger, no longer alone, I found in Your heart my eternal home. The past erased,the future bright, You turned my darkness into light.

So blessed is that day, forever blessed, When in Your loving arms I found my rest. I was lost,but then I was found, On that holy,glorious ground.

Thank you, Father, for choosing me, And for that day You adopted me.

Amen.

Faith like Mustard Sed become mighty Oak Tree.

 Amen. What a beautiful and powerful prayer. It takes the tiny, fragile gift of our faith and asks God to grow it into something strong, lasting, and majestic. Here is a poem for that request.

---

From a Mustard Seed

Take this, my small and trembling faith, This whispered prayer,this fragile grace. This mustard seed,so slight, so weak, The humble trust I barely speak. “He replied, ‘Because you have so little faith. Truly I tell you, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you.’”(Matthew 17:20)

Plant it, Lord, in soil of grace, In the quiet of Your holy place. Water it with patient hope, Give me the strength and light to cope.

Grow it deep through trial and wind, ’Til on Your truth it can depend. Grow it wide with loving shade, Where the weary and afraid Might find a place to rest and see Your strength grown in a tree like me.

Turn this small faith to an oak, A testament to every spoke Of Your design,a sturdy sight, That stands through darkest day and night. “The righteous will flourish like a palm tree, they will grow like a cedar of Lebanon; planted in the house of the Lord, they will flourish in the courts of our God.”(Psalm 92:12-13)

Not for my glory, but for Yours, A life that utterly adores The Gardener who took the time To turn my little seed sublime.

Grow my faith, Lord. Let it be An oak of righteousness for Thee.

Amen.

Lord, You come that we may have life more abundantly.

That is the glorious, life-giving promise of the Gospel. Here is a poem celebrating the abundant life found in Christ.

---

Abundantly

You did not come to merely save, To rescue from a gloomy grave, Then leave us in a barren land, To barely follow,barely stand.

You came that we might live and thrive, Your resurrection in us,alive! A life not measured by degree, But lived in depth,abundantly. “The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.”(John 10:10)

Abundant life is joy that stays, Through complicated,weary days. It’s peace that guards the heart and mind, When answers are so hard to find.

It’s love that overflows the soul, That seeks to make the broken whole. It’s purpose found in knowing You, In everything we say and do.

It is the fruit Your Spirit grows, A river that within us flows. It is not wealth the world applauds, But life held tightly in God’s hands.

You are the Vine, we are the branch, No life apart from Your advance. We draw our nourishment from You, Our lives made rich and fresh and new.

So let this life not be about A selfish,turned-inward doubt, But let it spill on dry,cracked ground, Let Your abundance through me sound.

Thank You, Jesus, for the cross, That saves us from eternal loss, And gives us,now, the gift to be Alive,and full, and truly free.

Amen.

Peace of God surpass all understanding.

 Amen. In a world of chaos, this truth is our anchor. Here is a poem celebrating the God of Peace.

---

God of Peace

You are the God of Peace, The stillness in the storm. The quiet for the racing heart, The safe and tranquil form. “Now may the Lord of peace himself give you peace at all times and in every way.”(2 Thessalonians 3:16)

You are the end of conflict, The truce for inner war. The voice that whispers“Peace, be still,” And closes every door That lets the chaos enter in, The worry and the fear— You stand as guard and sentry, Making Your presence near. “And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.”(Philippians 4:7)

You are the great Reconciler, Who made a way,through blood, To bring us back to friendship, A vast,unending flood Of grace that washes clean the strife, That heals the deepest schism, And plants Your perfect shalom peace Upon this broken prism.

You are not just a peace-bringer, Youare the Peace we need. Our Sabbath rest,our perfect home, From every turmoil freed.

So let Your peace rule in my heart, Let it be my command. I rest in You,my Prince of Peace, Held by Your mighty hand.

Amen.

God, You are my healer

 Amen. This is a powerful confession of faith in God's restorative power. Here is a poem celebrating Jehovah Rapha, the Lord Who Heals.

---

My Healer

You are my Healer, The mender of the breach. The One whose very presence Is a balm,within my reach. “He said, ‘If you listen carefully to the Lord your God and do what is right in his eyes... I will not bring on you any of the diseases I brought on the Egyptians, for I am the Lord, who heals you.’”(Exodus 15:26)

You heal the broken body, You heal the wounded mind, You heal the spirit’s sickness, The hurts we cannot find. “He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds.”(Psalm 147:3)

By the stripes that fell on Jesus, By the wounds He bore for me, I claim Your healing promise, I claim my liberty. “But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was on him, and by his wounds we are healed.”(Isaiah 53:5)

You are the great Physician, With wisdom beyond ours. You know the perfect timing, Your methods,and Your hours.

So I place my trust in You, Whether quick or slow the cure. For my ultimate healing is certain, Eternal,holy, pure.

Jehovah Rapha, I rest in Your name, My Healer,forever the same.

Amen.

God, You are my banner

 Amen. That is a powerful declaration of victory and identity. Here is a poem celebrating Jehovah Nissi, the Lord Our Banner.

---

My Banner

You are my Banner, raised up high, A signal to the world and sky. A declaration bold and clear: My God is present,He is here! “Moses built an altar and called it The Lord is my Banner.”(Exodus 17:15)

When confusion is the battle’s smoke, And my weary spirit feels broke, I look to You,my standard true, And find my strength in You renewed.

You are the flag flown over me, A sign of triumph,liberty. The cross,the place where war was won, The victory of Your Holy Son. “But thanks be to God! He gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.”(1 Corinthians 15:57)

Under this Banner, I am known, I do not fight this war alone. Your colors mark me as Your own, Loved,protected, and brought home.

So let the enemy draw near, I will not cower,I will not fear. For You,my Banner, wave ahead, And where You lead,I too will tread.

Jehovah Nissi, great I AM, My Banner and the great I AM.

Amen.

God, You are my Provider.

 Amen. This is a declaration of trust in God's faithful provision. Here is a poem celebrating Jehovah Jireh, our Provider.

---

My Provider

You are my Provider, The source of all I need. You clothe the lilies,feed the birds, On Your goodness,I am freed. “And my God will meet all your needs according to the riches of his glory in Christ Jesus.”(Philippians 4:19)

You are not a distant giver, Doling out a meager share. You are a lavish,loving Father, Who listens to each care. “Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they?”(Matthew 6:26)

You provided on the mountain, The ram within the thorn. You provided in the wilderness, Each mercy-filled new morn. “So Abraham called that place The Lord Will Provide. And to this day it is said, ‘On the mountain of the Lord it will be provided.’”(Genesis 22:14)

You provided Your own Son, The ultimate display, That if You gave Your greatest gift, You’ll provide along the way.

So I will not live in worry, I will not be afraid. I’ll look to You,Jehovah Jireh, My trust in You is stayed.

For every need, for every hunger, You are the faithful seed. My heart finds rest in this one truth: God is my Provider indeed.

Amen.

Promise Keeper

 Amen. This is one of the most comforting and foundational truths of our faith. Here is a poem celebrating our Promise Keeper.

---

Promise Keeper

You are the Promise Keeper, The Amen,Faithful and True. Every word You have spoken, You are able to do. “God is not human, that he should lie, not a human being, that he should change his mind. Does he speak and then not act? Does he promise and not fulfill?”(Numbers 23:19)

From the first light of creation, To the cross,and to this day, Not one word has failed or faltered, You have never turned away. “Not one of all the Lord’s good promises to Israel failed; every one was fulfilled.”(Joshua 21:45)

You keep the promise of Your presence, “I will be with you,”still You say. You keep the promise of Your pardon, You wash our deepest stains away. “And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”(Matthew 28:20)

You keep the promise of Your purpose, To work all things for our good. You keep the promise of a future, A hope understood. “And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him.”(Romans 8:28)

The promise of a coming heaven, Where every tear will be dried. This is the hope we hold onto, With You as our faithful Guide.

So anchor my soul in this surety, When feelings shift and sway. My hope is built on nothing less Than Your promises today.

You are the Promise Keeper. I will trust,and not be afraid.

Thank You, Faithful God.

Amen.

Miracle Worker.

 Amen. He is the God of the impossible. Here is a poem praising our Miracle Worker.

---

Miracle Worker

You are the Miracle Worker, The One who speaks to the storm. The One who takes what is broken, And rebuilds it,better than before.

You take the few loaves, the small fish, And You multiply,again and again. You turn the water of our striving, Into the finest wine of grace.“What Jesus did here in Cana of Galilee was the first of the signs through which he revealed his glory.” (John 2:11)

You are the Chain-Breaker, The prison doors swing wide. You are the Heart-Healer, For the empty,dead inside. “He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted... to bestow on them a crown of beauty instead of ashes.” (Isaiah 61:1,3)

You are the Way-Maker, In deserts,You make a stream. You are the Dream-Awaker, Beyond what we can dream.“Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine.” (Ephesians 3:20)

The same power that rolled the stone, That called poor Lazarus to rise, Is alive and still at work today— A light for our wondering eyes.

So we call on You now, Miracle Worker,our King. Do what only You can do, And let heaven’s praises ring.

Amen.

Way maker: Showing the Way when there is no way.

 Amen. That is a testimony to God's miraculous power and faithful guidance. Here is a poem in response.

The Way-Maker

When the sea is raging, deep and wide, And there is no path,no place to hide, When every door is closed and sealed, And all my human hope has failed—

You are the One who makes a way, Who turns our darkest night to day. You speak a word to restless waves, And from the storm,my soul You save. “This is what the Lord says— he who made a way through the sea, a path through the mighty waters.”(Isaiah 43:16)

You are the One who parts the sea, And walks through depths to come to me. You are the One who moves the stone, So I am never on my own. “I will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert.”(Isaiah 43:19)

When logic fails and sight runs dim, My eyes must turn again to Him Who needs no map,who knows no “can’t,” The God of everlasting grant.

So thank You, Lord, for showing how, For being the Way,then, here, and now. Not just a guide,but being the road, That leads me safely to my God. “Jesus answered, ‘I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.’”(John 14:6)

Thank You for making a way when there was none. My hope,my future, in Your will—be it done.

Amen.

I surrender my Life to you.

 Amen. This is the most important decision and declaration a person can ever make. To say, "I surrender my life to you" is the essence of true faith and the beginning of an eternal journey with God. It is the response to His great love and the key that unlocks the door to His purpose for your life.

This surrender is what God desires most:

"Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God—this is your true and proper worship." - Romans 12:1 (NIV)

"Then Jesus said to his disciples, 'Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross and follow me. For whoever wants to save their life will lose it, but whoever loses their life for me will find it.'" - Matthew 16:24-25 (NIV)

What Does It Mean to Surrender?

Surrender is not a one-time event but a daily posture. It means:

· Relinquishing Control: Giving God the throne of your life, letting Him lead instead of trying to steer yourself.

· Trusting His Plan: Believing that His ways and plans for you are better than your own (Jeremiah 29:11).

· Obedience from Love: Choosing to follow His commands not out of obligation, but out of love and trust.

A Prayer of Total Surrender

Heavenly Father,

Right now, I come to You with a humble and open heart. I have tried to run my own life, and I have failed. I recognize that You are God, and I am not.

I believe that Jesus Christ is Your Son, that He died on the cross for my sins, and that You raised Him from the dead.

Right now, I surrender my life to You. I give You everything—my past, my present, my future. My dreams, my fears, my relationships, my career. Every part of me.

I surrender my will to Yours. I surrender my plans to Yours. Forgive me for my sins and cleanse me. From this day forward, I am Yours.

Take my life and use it for Your glory. I am no longer my own; I have been bought with a price.

In Jesus' name, Amen.

A Poem: "I Surrender"

"I Surrender"

I surrender all, my God, to Thee, This life I live,it is no more for me. I lay it down at Calvary's tree, Where Your blood was shed to set me free.

I surrender my dreams, my hopes, my plans, I place them all in Your nail-scarred hands. I surrender my fears,my doubts, my pride, In the shadow of Your wings,I'll hide.

I surrender my heart, my mind, my soul, You are the God who makes me whole. I surrender my past,with all its shame, And I take on Your righteousness and name.

I am Yours, and You are mine, A covenant made by grace divine. So lead me,Lord, and I will follow, In the straight path,not the narrow.

I surrender. Fully. Completely. Finally. To You.
