I Need You

A simple prayer of surrender—recognizing that loving and following Jesus is not something we can accomplish in our own strength.

By Steve Wilkins

Jesus, I need to give myself up.

I am not strong enough to love You and walk with You on my own.

I can’t do it.

I need You.

I need You deeply and desperately.

I believe You are worth it.

That You are better than anything else I could have in this life or the next.

I want You.

And when I don’t, I want to want You.

Be all in me.

Take all of me.

Have Your way in me.
