A prayer
Original writing, not a quotation of Scripture.
Here I am, Lord. I don't know everything this yes will cost, and I'm a little afraid. Mary didn't understand it all either, and she still said, I am the Lord's servant.
Let it be so for me. I offer you my time, my plans, my comfort, and my future. Finish the good work you started in me, and keep me faithful when the excitement fades and the ordinary obedience begins.
In Jesus' name, Amen.
