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

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.
