Emptying


From Heart for God:
Only God can receive all of me.  Lord, I lay all of my life down before You.  Lord, I lay all of myself at Your feet.  I offer all of my desires, joys, weaknesses, gratitude, sorrows, burdens, sadness, gifts, successes, failings, fears, sins, all of it to You, my Lord.  Lord, take all of me and empty my life for You. No one else can receive all of this, only You can.  I come to Your feet and give it all to You.  Empty my heart, my soul, my body, my mind.  Create me anew, Lord.  Make me Yours and Yours alone.  Keep me close always to Your Loving Heart and to the most pure Heart of Your Mother.  Blessed Virgin Mary, my Mother, show me the way to receive the new life of Your Son, Our Lord.  Saint Joseph, help me to be a good daughter, a good wife, a good mother, and a good friend.  In the Most Holy Name of Jesus, Amen.
