I lay it all.

 I Lay It All

A Surrender Prayer

I lay it all—not just the heavy load,

The weary weight of fear, the tears that overflowed.

I lay my plans, my dreams, my pride, my shame,

Every victory, every loss, every forgotten name.

Come to Me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. (Matthew 11:28)

I lay my worries at Your feet—the sleepless nights,

The anxious thoughts that steal away the light.

I lay my failures—the scars I try to hide,

The broken vows, the foolishness, the wounded pride.

I lay my heart—the tangled, messy parts,

The secret longings, the silent, aching darts.

I lay my future—the unknown, the unseen,

All that I hoped and all that might have been.

Therefore, I urge you... to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice. (Romans 12:1)

I lay it all—not in defeat, but in release,

For in the laying down, I find my peace.

You take the fragments, gather every piece,

And from the rubble, Your love will not cease.

So here I am, Lord—all of me.

No more holding back, no more pretending to be.

I lay it all—my life, my love, my every call.

You are my everything. You are my all.

Amen.
