Father, there is a way that seems right to all women and men; but that path leads to destruction, pain and despair. While the ways of the Lord are right and just, they seem alien to us.  Neverthless, we must yield to the Lord and His merciful grace.

Father, we desire to know You.  We give You our pain and heartache. We give to You our despair and failure. We know that we are not worthy of Your grace; but, Lord, we fall on Your mercy desiring release from our haughty and arrogant ways.

Thank you, Lord that total surrender to You, means total joy for us.  We accept with grateful hearts Your redemption and peace.
