A Powerful Prayer

"Lord, I give up all my own purposes and plans, all my own desires and hopes and ambitions, and accept Thy will for my life. I give myself, my life, my all utterly to Thee, to be Thine forever. I hand over to Thy keeping all my friendships; all my people whom I love are to take a second place in my heart. Fill me and seal me with Thy Holy Spirit. Work out Thy whole will in my life, at any cost, now and forever."

--Elizabeth "Betty" Stam

"Jesus said unto him, If thou wilt be perfect,

go and sell that thou hast,

and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven:

and come and follow me."

Matthew 19:21
