Pray the words of this Lazaroo aloud, in passionate submission:

“May your servant find favor in your eyes.”
(1 Samuel 1:18)

This is my prayer, Jesus.

I truly want to be Your servant.

I admit to plenty of times in the past
when all I wanted

was for You to bless

what I wanted to do
what I wanted to say
what I wanted to have
what I wanted to happen.

No more.

I’m tired of me.
I’m tired of what I want.

I can’t trust it.

Not just because I don’t know enough
to know what is best

but also because I’m not righteous enough
to choose what is best
every time

even if I knew what it was.

So, yeah.

All I want
is to be Your servant.

You tell me what You want –
I do it.

But I want to obey You so well
with such passion

that I find favor in Your eyes.
