Today’s prayer arrived when I was washing my face last Wednesday morning. I had to remember it until I could dry my hands and scribble it down!
No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws them to me (John 6:44; NLT).
Draw me into your hands, Lord,
So I can touch your wounds.
Draw me into your side, Lord,
So I can feel your pain.
Draw me into your heart, Lord,
So I can share your grief.
Draw me into your soul, Lord,
Making us one, again.
Everything else is worthless when compared with the infinite value of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord. For his sake I have discarded everything else, counting it all as garbage, so that I could gain Christ and become one with him (Philippians 3:8-9; NLT).
