My \u00a0Father,<\/em><\/p>\n

You have ordained each day for me on this earth. Help me to fulfill the plans you have created for me before I was even born. I want to live out the destiny you have determined for me. I want Your way, not my way. I give myself to you and say, “Take my life, my time, my days \u2013this day \u2013 and do something with it.”\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

Amen.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
