Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God—this is your true and proper worship.—Romans 12:1 (NIV)
Merciful and Gracious God,
May I truly worship You today—in grateful response to Your enduring mercy and abundant grace—by dying to myself and living for You alone.
Because of everything You
have done for me, stir within my heart that desire to submit my will over my
body, soul and spirit to You—subjecting my whole being to Your plans and purposes
for me.
In light of the final
atoning sacrifice of Your Son for my sin, help me to make the only sacrifice
that is left to make—a living sacrifice of my life—by consciously and
continually setting myself apart for Your use.
I desire to offer true and
proper worship to You every moment of each new day, so I ask You to help me by
reminding me of the mercy that has been granted to me and the grace that has
overtaken me—only by which I am even able to come before You, today.
May I truly worship You today—in grateful response to Your enduring mercy and abundant grace—by dying to myself and living for You alone.
In the name of Jesus, Amen
