Accepted: Discover Your Identity in ChristSample

Surrendering My Heart
Father, will You help my hurting heart? Will You hold me in this mess? Will You catch me when I am falling? For I am falling now.
You are good, and You are here. You tell me I am dearly loved, that I am fought for and chosen, cherished and desired. You love being with me. You tell me I am not alone and I don’t have to be “a slave to this phantom truth that love equals the avoidance of other people’s disappointment in me.”
So here I am, Your child, asking for Your help in surrendering my heart—my heart with all its pain. For the fear of disappointing others is a burden I no longer want to carry. Come carry me now.
I choose Your love.
And I see You.
And I hear You.
And I feel You.
Come.
Closer.
I am Yours. You are mine. (Song of Solomon 2:16)
Amen.
Friend, what will you add to this prayer?

About this Plan

This world teaches us to depend on the approval of others. But the truth is, the only approval that matters is God’s—and we already have it because of Christ! In this 4-day plan, let Holy Spirit challenge you to lay down the idol of approval and teach you to rest in the truth that He accepts you as you are.
