Use Me.

OK so I am reading this amazing, powerful book called "Inside the Mind of the Unchurched Harry and Mary".  My equally amazing friend James let me borrow it about 3 months ago, and I am just now getting to it. I wish I read it earlier and I recommended to anyone trying to reach those who are "unchurched" in your life. I lovelovelove this prayer in the book the author suggests to use when speaking to the Lord about using you. So here it is, because I think everyone needs to read it :)

"Lord, I want to get into the fray. I want to play a role in the biggest adventure story of all time. Use me to make a difference. Use me to impact a young person for You. Use me to solve someone's problems. Use me to soothe someone's pain. Use me to answer someone's prayers. Use me to feed someone who's hungry. Use me to rescue a child. Use me to bring someone to You. Use me to ease someone's loneliness. Use me to raise a godly family. Use me to deepen someone's faith. Use me to cheer someone on. Use me to help a broken person understand that he's precious in Your sight. Use me to touch lives in Your name. I don't want to just observe cathedrals through my bus window; I want to roll up my sleeves and build one! Lord, use me to build a living cathedral dedicated to your glory. Amen"

Isn't this an awesome prayer to pray to our Father?! I want Him to use me as He pleases. I want to get my hands dirty in His work, work that He made for ME!

Well to end tonight's short post, always remember that through everything, He is right there beside you. He will not leave you because HE LOVES YOU!!
