Consume me.

My cry in prayer for the last week or so has been ‘consume me…i want to be consumed with You’

I had a rougher day, as referenced below. What I didn’t mention, nor will I now,  was the few spiritual things I was really dealing with and rejoicing over but all day I have felt God –so in tune–so clear…I almost knew going to church was going to be special.

I was sobbing the whole way to my mother-in-laws before Church tonight singing this song.

I wept in preservice prayer. I couldn’t get it together. If you know mw at all you know that I am NOT a crier…period. This softening was/is even taking me by surprise.

In preservice prayer, what was hindering me was made clear, I had yet to lay it all down. Yet to lay down MY emotions, MY hard feelings, MY opinions, MY pride, MY will, MY dreams, MY fears….I hadn’t let go of me.

When this song started again in our service, I couldn’t hold it in. I went to the alter and I let it all go. I laid it down. (and a few hundred tears)

I’m not picking it back up.

It’s time to become consumed.
