A Prayer

Dear God, May I have a life of devotion, not just a time of devotion. May my life be consecrated, not just a time of consecration May I have a Sabbath heart ,   not just a Sabbath Day. May all my resources be at your disposal, not just a tithe. May all my time be sacred, not just a time for God. May I have a worshipping heart, not just a time of worship.

Remind me that you are always in control no matter what may rage around me during this enduring walk of faith.
