Complete Surrender

Spiritually, I am lost.
I know where I am headed...
And I have lost my way.
Blinded by temptation.
Misguided by my own misunderstanding
Of what this life is supposed to look like.
I am on my knees, God.
At Your feet.
Begging for forgiveness.
Father, I have sinned against You.
I'm not sure how to make it right.
I give You my life.
I put my life and all that I have in Your hands.
I have nothing.
It all belongs to You.
Jesus, I need You.
Reign in me.
Hold me.
Love me.
I am crying out Your name, Jesus.
Show me that I can find peace in You.
You are all I have.
You are all I need.
I surrender all of me to You.

Jesus, I desire to be somebody special in Your eyes. I want to have value to You, and nobody else. Nothing else matters. God, I want to be free of me and filled with You. I want to find my worth in You, God. As Your daughter, I want to see the beauty of me through You. Father, when I was lost, You found me. You swept me off my feet, held me close, and carried me home. It was against Your will that I ran the wrong direction, and wondered away from the safety of Your arms. It is in Your arms that I cry tears of joy because You found me. And now, it is at Your feet that I weep, and rejoice at the same time, Lord. I weep because I have sinned against You, and I rejoice because though I'm unworthy, You love me and hold me in Your arms. I am asking for Your forgiveness, God. I have sinned. I ran away from You, God, when what I really wanted was to rest in Your arms. Father, I seek nothing but You, for it is in nothing of this world that I can find the joys that You bring me. Provider. Defender. Shelter. Creator. Healer. Father. It is in none but You that I give my all. Father, I give You all that I have. It was but two years ago that I accepted You as King of all Kings. Creator of all things. Master of all beings. It was but just a month ago that I accepted You as my Father. The Man who will love me for me. The One who loves me unconditionally, forever and always. It was not until today, though, that I surrender my soul to You. Everything I cling on to. Everything I find value in, God, I give to You. This is not my life to live, Jesus. It is for You to live through me. Relationships I have built with people, God, are not my own. Everything that I once called "mine" God, belongs to You. Without hesitation, I give You all that You have blessed me with. Yes, You have put these things in my possession to love and care for; however, I do not take ownership. God, may I seek You in all that I do, from this day forth. Whether in worship at church, or on the bus ride to school, God, may my heart be set on You. May I set out to please no one but You. You are all the approval that I need. Father, I ask that You show Yourself through each and every moment of my life, from this day forth. Jesus, I dedicate all of my life to You. Every breath I breathe for You. Every sight I see for You. Everything I do, I do for You. Jesus, I sacrifice my way of living, so that You can live through me. Jesus, You are all I need.
