I've got so many masters, Lord,
each one vying to be my boss,
to run my day,
shape my choices,
change my opinion
and decide my direction...
So I pray, Lord,
I pray for you to set me free:
free me from serving anyone or anything
that keeps me from serving you;
free me from giving in to anyone or anything
that fails to bring me peace;
free me from choosing anyone or anything
that does not make me whole,
more honest, more healthy,
more loving and giving...
Be the boss of me today, Lord,
and make me more and more
the person you love and created me to be...
Be the boss of my life today, Lord,
and the master of my heart's desires...
Amen.
