Lord, have your way in our life.

 Lord, Have Your Way in Our Life

A Prayer of Surrender from Luke 22:42, Romans 12:1, and Jeremiah 29:11

Lord, have Your way in our life—not our will, but Yours be done,

Not our kingdom, not our glory, not the race we want to run.

We lay our plans before Your feet, our dreams, our hopes, our fear.

Take the pen and write Your story; let Your purpose be so clear.

“Father, if You are willing, take this cup from Me; yet not My will, but Yours be done.” (Luke 22:42)

Have Your way in our hearts—melt the cold, the stubborn stone.

Shatter every idol, every throne we’ve built upon our own.

Where pride has made its fortress, send Your gentle, breaking grace.

Let humility and love take root and grow in every space.

Have Your way in our minds—renew the thoughts that lead to peace.

Silence every anxious whisper, let our anxious striving cease.

Plant Your truth like seeds of harvest, water them with living faith.

Let us think on what is noble, pure, and lovely, come what may.

Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. (Romans 12:2)

Have Your way in our hands—let them serve and not demand.

Have Your way in our feet—let them walk in holy land.

Have Your way in our mouths—let them speak Your grace and peace.

Have Your way in our whole life—let our striving finally cease.

We trust Your will is better than the best that we could choose.

Your "no" is wiser than our "yes"; Your "wait" we will not lose.

For You are good, and You are love, and You have plans for us—

Plans to prosper, not to harm, to give a future and a trust.

“For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” (Jeremiah 29:11)

So we surrender, Lord. Not once, but every single day.

Lead us in the everlasting way.

Lord, have Your way in our life. We yield our all to You.

Your will be done—on earth, in us, as in heaven, true.

Amen.
