I Give This Up To You

Lord, help me to know that You are enough. Take my eyes off of myself. Take my eyes off of the baby I desire. Mold the desires of my heart to be in line with Your will. I don't want to need to be a mother more than I need to be your humble, obedient child. I don't want wanting to have a baby be a stumbling block between You and me anymore.

Lord, I want to give this desire, this drive, this ache up to You. Help me not to snatch it back as I so often do with the burdens I place in Your hands. Help me to be truly content with Your will and Your timing. Lord, You know that I still desire a baby-someone to mold, teach, train, shape, guide, and help to grow in You. But until the day You give me that joyous blessing, help me to grow in You. Let me reach out to those around me. Let me witness and minister to the children You place in my path.

Lord, prepare our hearts for whatever path You lead us to. If we are headed in the wrong direction, change our hearts.

Thank You for lifting my burden. Help me to keep You first. Help me to fully trust in You alone. Let me seek Your face daily, and let me know that YOU ARE ENOUGH!
