Lead
Me
“Trust in
the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own
understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your
paths straight” (Proverbs 3:5-6, NLT).
I trust in you with all my heart,
Lord–not with just a little bit that I allow, but with all of it. I surrender
all of my heart–all of the struggle to find my own way through life. I
surrender the pain of all my own failure to you. I surrender the hurt that has
tortured my heart and the thoughts that have claimed my mind. I'm tired of
holding on to all that I can't control. I'm tired of insisting on my own way.
I'm tired of trying to make happen what I desire. I have nothing left right
now. I have nothing left, but you. And you are exactly what I need now that I
have been emptied of me.
Come, Lord Jesus. You are my Savior.
Reach down and lift me from all that consumes me. My heart submits to you. When
I'm drained of all strength, I trust in you. When I am empty with no purpose, I
trust in you. When I am lost in a valley of pain and suffering, I trust in you.
When my heart feels like it can't take another blow, I trust in you. When I have
lost that which I hold most dear, I trust in you. When I am so tired I can’t
take another step, I trust in you. When I can't hear you or see you or feel
you, I trust in you. When I don't understand why, I trust in you. I surrender
all of me to know all of you.
Lead me, Lord. Lead me out of the valley.
Whether it be of my own making or not, lead me out. I need you to make my path
straight. I need you to show me the way to move forward. My hand is in yours.
My heart rests in you. Your heart beats in me. You are my guide in all that
lies ahead. You are my joy and my victory. Lead me, and I will follow. Lead me
to the Rock that is stronger and so much higher than I. You are my fortress, Lord God. You are my
mighty tower. You are my deliverer.
