I Commit My Life to You
A Reflection on Proverbs 16:3, Romans 12:1, and 2 Timothy 1:12
Commit to the Lord whatever you do, and He will establish your plans. (Proverbs 16:3)
I commit my life to You, Lord—not a part, not a piece,
But the whole of who I am, my joy, my peace.
I lay my past, my present, my future in Your hands,
I trust Your will, I follow Your commands.
I commit my days to You—the rising sun, the setting moon,
The hours of labor, the moments of rest, the strength to face the afternoon.
I commit my nights to You—the sleep, the dreams, the quiet hours,
When I am weak and need Your power.
I commit my heart to You—the deepest part of me,
The desires, the hopes, the fears, the mystery.
Guard it, keep it, make it pure,
Let it beat in rhythm with Yours, ever sure.
I commit my mind to You—the thoughts that run and race,
The anxious wanderings, the questions, the doubts I face.
Renew my mind, transform my thinking,
Let me be in Your truth, forever sinking.
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)
I commit my hands to You—to serve, to give, to heal,
To build Your kingdom, to make Your love real.
I commit my feet to You—to go where You lead,
To walk in Your ways, to plant Your seed.
I commit my voice to You—to speak Your truth and grace,
To bring encouragement, to build up, to embrace.
I commit my will to You—the stubborn, grasping "I,"
Let it be broken, let it die.
I commit my future to You—the unknown, the yet-to-be,
The plans I cannot see, the destiny.
I trust that You will lead me, that You will guide,
That You will never leave me, that You will always provide.
For I know whom I have believed, and am convinced that He is able to guard what I have entrusted to Him until that day. (2 Timothy 1:12)
So I commit my life to You—not for a season, not for a day,
But for all eternity, in every way.
You are my Lord, my Savior, my Friend,
And I will follow You until the very end.
I commit my life to You, Lord.
I am Yours. Forever.
Amen.
