Richard Foster’s Prayer of Relinquishment

Today, O Lord, I yeild myself to you

May you will be my delight today.

May you have perfect sway in me.

May your love be the pattern of my living.

I surrender to you my hopes, my dreams, my ambitions. Do with them what you will, when you will, as you will.

I place into your loving care my family, my friends, my future. Care for them with a care that I can never give.

I release into your hands my need to control, my craving for staus, my fear of obscuirty. Eradicate the evil purify the good, and establish your kingdom on earth.

For Jesus’ sake, amen.

I'm a Christ-loving, horse-crazy girl who loves cowboying and wild adventures. I like simple, mind-blowing science (not physics...too much math) that proves the existence of our Creator and the amazing fact that while I am standing up, my blood does not all rush to my feet...Wow!! I like to write and I love to read. I love talking to people about horses (even though I usually learn more that anyone else in the room.) I like Charles Dickens and the I, Q series. Eric and Leslie Ludy's books are pretty cool too. My dream is to foster and adopt when I graduate, to train horses by day, and write by night, and and use all that to change the world. With God, everything is possible, right? :)
