Father, can you hear me? I need your love today. I know that you're with me. You hear me every day. Father, please here me and I will be okay. Father, I need you to heal me today.

Father, can you hear me? I'm calling on Your name, not Buddah nor Muhammad, but it's JESUS I cry outloud. Father, please forgive me and hear me when I say I'll give you everything; my life and soul today.

Father, you know I need You. I've never felt so much pain. I have the faith for now, and Your victory I will gain. Father, You know I mean it. There's no more heart of stone.

Here I am.. everything that I have and everything that I am I'm laying down at your feet. I'm giving you this burden that I've now carried for too long. I don't want it. I can't take it anymore.

I'm through with questioning your love for me. I'm through worrying about the past. I can't worry about the future. I can only worry about now. The only thing in the future I need to worry about is my eternity with you, and I'm making sure that it's set right now.

Father, please forgive me for everything that I've done. I've sinned repeatidly. I know this and I'm sorry. I've broken your heart numerous times, I am sure of. I'm through with everything that I was. I'm giving up everything that my flesh desires, and I'm running to you.

I know that I need to change my attitude. Something seemed to have grasped my life for a while and I didn't know who the person was that I became. I was bitter, hateful, mean, and not the person that You created me to be.

I've lived for the world and I've seen the truth behind everything. I've seen the truth that You hold, and I hunger for you. My soul cries out to You the living God. I've tasted. I've seen. I want more. Here's my cup, fill it up, make it overflowing is not an exaggeration. I want to drown in You. I want to be captivated by your prescence. I have a hunger so deep for You that I don't think I can contain myself.

I'm so tired of everything that this world has to offer. From here on out You are my world. I am based around you. Through the fire and through the fight. Through the peril of the night I will trust You for the promise spoken over me. There is nothing left to hide. This is my surrendered life. I have left behind all else to follow only You.

You set me. You lit me. I'm on fire. What a beautiful site to see, I'm on a fire. Until my light is burning bright I'm going to lift Your name and let this flame get higher. I'm not taking any of the glory. I don't want the fame. The only thing I want is to be branded with Your name.

I'm through trying to live up to the dreams that I have. I'm finished with thinking everything that I could do for You. I know there are numerous things that I can do, but they're out of my mind. From now on I'm doing what You want me to do. It's all for You.

Place Your seal over my heart and over my eyes that I may only long for You and long to seek You all of the days of my life.

You are my husband. I am Your bride. Together our hearts are eternally entwined.

I thank you for the many blessings that You've bestowed upon me, and I am forever grateful for Your unfailing love, grace, mercy, for loving me for who I am, and forgiving me of every sin.

I love you!

In the name of Jesus,
-Your Eternal Servant, Erika
