Deny.

"Surely those who know the great, passionate heart of Jehovah must deny
their own loves to share in the expression of His."

A Prayer 2.21.11

God,

Give us a heart like yours.

You know the desires of our hearts.

You know us better than we know ourselves.

You are the only one that can satisfy, Lord.

Let nothing in this world hold us captive.

Allow us to be fully captivated by you.

You know our needs.

You will provide in your perfect timing.

Let nothing we do or say be in our timing.

Our ideas are skewed by the world.

No one should determine timing but you God.

You are the one that perfectly placed the earth into orbit.

You created time and to you, is it just a breath.

a blink.

a wink.

a whisper of the wind.

You created us.

Us. To do a good work.

You planned it all in advance for us to do.

You placed passions, gifts, talents in us along the way.

Before we could conceive what you were doing.

All before we knew.
