Knowing how headstrong I can be, I’ve developed a daily habit of laying all of my hopes, dreams, ambitions, and desires at the foot of the Cross. I give them to God while praying, “Lord Jesus, I give You permission to change my desires, to superimpose Your will on mine. Now guide me through my surrendered desires and fulfill Your purposes in my life.”

“Before I formed you in the womb I knew you,
before you were born I set you apart.”

— Jeremiah 1:5

Lord Jesus, reveal the plans and purposes You have for me through my surrendered desires that I may do Your will each day. In Your holy name I pray. Amen.
