Chris' prayer: Rich Mullins' "Hold me, Jesus"

I'd rather fight You for something I don't really want
Than to take what You give that I need

I would come as no surprise to those that know me best that I can be extremely stubborn. In fact, it should come as no surprise to the readers of this blog, either, as I've mentioned it before. The need to be in control is something that I struggle with constantly. It even affects my faith life. Rather than following God's plan for me, I often feel the need to steer my own life, to have some kind of input into what I end up doing or who I end up being. Rather than being content to follow, I force my way to lead.

Fortunately for me, hope comes just a couple lines later, where we find out just how persistent and strong Jesus is:

Your grace rings out so deep,
It makes my resistance seem so thin.
