Living Sacrifice Prayer

Father, by Your mercies, I bring my body to You as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to You. This is my true worship.

The old sacrifices were dead and stayed on the altar. But I keep trying to crawl off. That is the hard part. I have given You my hand for ministry, then taken it back by Wednesday. I have given You my mouth for witness, then pulled it back in front of the wrong people. I have given You my time for service, then taken it back when life got busy.

Hold me on the altar. My body is Yours. This day is Yours. Use both. Make my worship real, in the small things, every day, with all of me, not just the easy parts.

Amen.
