Megan's prayer: Shane and Shane's "Lord, I Give You My Heart"

This song is filled with confidence. It speaks of a faith life where there is no confusion, there is no concern, there is no worry. Everything is for God. Every song, every moment, every breath – it is for God.

Confidence, especially in my faith life, is something that I lack. I know that I have that desire, that want, for more… but I’m never sure if I’m going about it the right way.

Every breath that I take
Every moment I’m awake

I would love if that was true in my life. I would love to commit myself fully to God in that way. I’m not really sure what is holding me back. Maybe it is being afraid I am doing it wrong, or just being worried about something unknown. There is something holding me back. Hopefully I can figure out what that is, and try to work through it.

Chris' Prayer: Shane and Shane's "Lord, I Give You My Heart"

I feel like there is an ocean between the first line of the song and the rest. I've been on one shore, and, in fact, make my home on one shore. I venture over to the other only once every so often, just long enough to play the role of tourist and see why it is such a great place. But before getting too comfortable, it seems like I'm being called back home to the shore where the first line of the song resides.

This is my desire, to honor You

I do! I desire to honor my God. I desire to do all of the things the rest of the song talks about, but alas, they are 1,000 miles away on a distant shore. Worship Him with all of my heart? Adore only what is from Him? Give Him my heart and my soul? To live for Him alone? Yeah, I've been there long enough to take some really neat pictures and maybe even purchase a T-shirt or knick knack. But to actually reside on that shore? To make my home there?

I hope to...someday. It's just the leaving everything behind, on the other shore, that scares me.

Erinnicole's Prayer: Shane and Shane's "Lord I Give You My Heart"

Lord have Your way in me

Each day, my prayer is for people to look at me and not see the actual me at all - i want to be so holy and such an example of God that they will see Jesus. I know that God has a plan for me and i want to be able to exercise my willingness to execute that plan willingly. I have seen God work through people, in big and small ways, and i would love to be a tool of God's Hand! I love helping people so why not credit it to the right Person? :)
