Consume Me

Today as I was in worship a prayer sprang up out of my heart, it went like this…






Consume me O’ Lord
I surrender completely to you

I desire to do Your will
I desire to fully walk in Your ways

I give myself to you completely
Let your love take over

My heart is Yours
My mind is Yours

I give it all to you O’ Lord
I trust in you O’ God

Take me Lord
Produce through me

No holding back
Everything I am is Yours

Consume me Lord
Consume me

God is looking for people that will come before Him and surrender, who will say consume me Lord. He is looking for people He can use here on this earth who will say like Jesus did…

John 6:38 (NLT)
For I have come down from heaven to do the will of God who sent me, not to do my own will.

Luke 22:42 (NIV)
…Not my will, but yours, be done.

God knows better than we do, who He created us to be. He knows better than we do the things that we are supposed to do here on the earth. He knows better than us what lies ahead. So it is time people of God to begin to be fully used by God, but the only way that is going to happen is if we let God consume us totally. We must put aside ourselves, and say ok Lord, here I am, use me in any way You see fit. Lead me to anywhere I’m supposed to go, not my will Lord, but Yours be done in my life.

We should not look at relinquishing our lives and control to God as a bad thing. He already knows the things we both need and desire. I believe too many people think that if they give God total control He will send them off somewhere crazy where they don’t want to be, doing things they don’t want to be doing. Or they are too worried that it will delay the plans they already have. #1 God will always place you where you fit, where your puzzle piece belongs. Not saying that some of the things He has you do won’t be out of your comfort zone at first because they probably will be, but believe me once you are there, you will say, Yes! This is it! #2 as far as our own plans, can they be greater than God’s plans for us? Not at all. So I just want to encourage each of you out there today to take a look at yourselves and ask yourself, has it been you running the show in your life, or God, and then be bold enough to trust God, to seek Him, and to allow Him to consume you, so that you may do exactly what you were purposed to do.

God bless!
