My prayer to God to become a part of His movement:

Oh God I do not want my life and actions to be a restraint upon you. In the ruins of weakness we need the manifestation of your transforming power. We need you to show up and move in our generation without restraint. O God, have your way with me entirely. Please let me be a part of what you wish to do today, a part of your movement! I long for a life that is:

• Ego humbling
• Self denying
• Christ centered
• Spirit empowering
• Word saturated
• Mission focused
• Jesus commissioned
• World changing
• Prayer answering
• Sin free
• Church changing
• Fit for the Master’s use
• Desperately dependent on the presence and power of God

So that through my life all will be impacted by your greatness, your gospel and your transforming power!

Amen
