Prayer

Heavenly Father, I come before You with a heart that desires to be wholly Yours. I acknowledge the areas in my life where I have held back, and I ask for Your grace to surrender completely to You.

May I be a vessel for Your glory, and may I trust in the promise that not a hoof shall be left behind. In Jesus’ name, I pray. Amen.
