Service and surrender
“The LORD brings death and makes alive; he brings down to the grave and raises up”
(1 Samuel 2:6; NIV).
As no one has power over the wind to contain it, so no one has power over the time of their death (Ecclesiastes 8:8; NIV).
“Therefore keep watch, because you do not know the day or the hour”
(Matthew 25:13; NIV).
“This very night your life will be demanded from you” (Luke 12:20; NIV).
Father,
Thank you for my life,
Which is entirely
In your hands.
One day,
I must surrender it
To you.
Until then,
Please help me
To serve you
With every thought,
Word and deed,
As best I can.
In Jesus’ name,
Amen.
