Y.O.G.O.

Lord,
what would it mean to truly surrender my life to you?
what would it mean to deny myself daily as I follow after you?
what would it mean to give up my plans and my goals and my dreams to seek your will in my life?

Can I even call you Lord when I pretend to be in charge of my life?

Teacher,
what would it mean to learn from you all I need to know?
what would it mean to truly listen to your Spirit's guiding and leading in my life?
what would it mean for your teachings to be taught through me to those you'd have me teach?

Can I even call you teacher when I try to learn on my own?

Father,
what would it mean to come before you as a child?
what would it mean to truly rely upon your strength and love as only you can provide?
what would it mean to fully understand the depth of love and pain poured out and endured to adopt me into your family?

Can I call you my Daddy?

When I seek what I want for myself, my future, my glory, my life,
when I seek what I want for myself,
when I seek what I want,
when I seek what I,
when I

but You,
but You gave,
but You gave Your only Son,
but You gave Your only Son so that all would You'd draw to Yourself,
that they may know You and truly live.


You have seen me.
You have loved me.
You have called me.
You have saved me.
You have a future prepared for me.

I want to be able to say "where you lead me, I will follow", honestly I do. I have seen you do so much in my life, if you are calling, can I follow?

Father, take my hand and lead me. Show me the path laid out for me.
Teacher, impress in me your wisdom and knowledge. That which has been understood since creation.
Lord, consecrate me wholly to You. Even through the most dangerous path, may I trust You and give You all I can.

Word.
