All of Me

It has always bothered me that some books or articles are called “All About …..(fill in.)” I’m perturbed because these books are really not everything about their subject. But I’m going to try to dive into “all about giving all of you to Jesus” anyway. Please forgive me if it is not comprehensive enough. I found this “all of me” in Psalm 103:1. This one verse has had a life-changing influence on my life this week and it has revolutionized all of me. So, here goes.

Psalm 103: 1 Bless the Lord, O my soul, and all that is within me, bless His holy name.

Break it down:

1.       Bless – I bow my heart and adore You with thankfulness.

2.       The Lord – You are the only God and creator of the world and my existence.

3.       O my soul – With all my body, emotions, thoughts, and passions,

4.       And all that is within me – and with every part of me, all the time, everywhere with all my heart

5.       Bless –I bow and adore You with thankfulness

6.       His holy name – making Your name known and famous as my awesome honored God.

This was a prayer of David. No wonder he was known as a man going after the very heart of God. He dedicated all of himself to God in this prayer. He went full force and all out running to God. I, too, want to be known as a person who is actively pursuing God daily. I want to give all of me to Jesus. So this is going to be my daily prayer:

My Holy Father God,

 I bow my heart and adore You with thankfulness.

 You are the only true God and creator of the world and my existence.

With all my body, emotions, thoughts, and passions, and with every part of me, all day, everywhere, with all my heart, I bow and adore You with thankfulness.

I honor You and want to make Your name known and famous as my awesome God.

I can only mean this and do this through the power of You, Holy Spirit, so please help me today.

In the Name of my only Savior, Jesus Christ, I pray this to You.

Amen, Amen

Who is it all about in your life? Will you be a woman wanting to go after God’s very heart?

 Will you join me in this prayer?

All of you to Jesus

All of me
