Some things in my life need
changing, Lord,
and I wish I could change overnight
but change comes slowly to me -
perhaps because I come slowly to change...
Help me change, Lord.
Open me to the changes I need,
the changes you want me to make in my life…
and I wish I could change overnight
but change comes slowly to me -
perhaps because I come slowly to change...
Help me change, Lord.
Open me to the changes I need,
the changes you want me to make in my life…
reboot my heart until it beats in rhythm with yours;
change my thinking
until my thoughts sync with your
thoughts,
with your word and with your wisdom...
Stretch me, Lord, to be the person you created me to be;
stretch me until I’m satisfied with nothing less
than being the person you call me to be...
Open my eyes, Lord, to see your hands at work in my life
helping me to change, every day...
Open my ears to hear your voice guiding me
through the changes I need to make...
Open my mouth, Lord, to pray,
Stretch me, Lord, to be the person you created me to be;
stretch me until I’m satisfied with nothing less
than being the person you call me to be...
Open my eyes, Lord, to see your hands at work in my life
helping me to change, every day...
Open my ears to hear your voice guiding me
through the changes I need to make...
Open my mouth, Lord, to pray,
to ask for your help with
the changes I most need to make...
Open my mind, Lord,
to know and understand what you ask of
me
and how my thinking needs to change…
Open my hands, Lord, to work for change
Open my hands, Lord, to work for change
that will help, serve and lift up
others…
Open me to changes I
need to make
in places where I’m now content,
unaware of how I need to grow...
Open my heart, Lord, to
your Holy Spirit
shaping, shifting, changing me and my life from
within...
So many things in my life need changing, Lord:
heal and mend, reform and repair
So many things in my life need changing, Lord:
heal and mend, reform and repair
what's wounded and torn, bent and
broken…
Change me, Lord,
open, empty and humble my heart
for the sake of all whose paths cross mine:
help me serve those in need,
for the sake of all whose paths cross mine:
help me serve those in need,
cheer those in sorrow,
comfort those who grieve,
comfort those who grieve,
stand with those who stand alone,
and rejoice with those whose hearts are
glad…
Some things in my life need
changing, Lord,
and I wish I could change overnight
but change comes slowly to me -
perhaps because I come slowly to change...
Help me change, Lord.
Open me to the changes I need,
the changes you want me to make in my life…
and I wish I could change overnight
but change comes slowly to me -
perhaps because I come slowly to change...
Help me change, Lord.
Open me to the changes I need,
the changes you want me to make in my life…
I offer you my life, Lord:
with your grace and in your mercy,
change me!
Amen.
