Matthew 8:18-22
18 When Jesus saw the crowd around him, he instructed his disciples to cross to the other side of the lake.
19 Then one of the teachers of religious law said to him, “Teacher, I will follow you wherever you go.”
20 But Jesus replied, “Foxes have dens to live in, and birds have nests, but the Son of Man has no place even to lay his head.”
21 Another of his disciples said, “Lord, first let me return home and bury my father.”
22 But Jesus told him, “Follow me now. Let the spiritually dead bury their own dead.

I trust in my God.

I pray these words: with a clear conscience and an open mind I pray to the one true God.

I dedicate my life and my death to my Lord Jesus Christ. To the sacrifice I will never be able to repay, to the pain I will never be able to endure. With God as a witness let me be what you want me to be. Let whatever impurities in my heart or in my soul drift away. Let me be content and full of joy as your spirit moves me, let me endure for your honor. For your gift and your covenant to me comes with such mercy and power.

Let your Holy Spirit possess my mind and let me speak only words that are true. Let my life be a testimony that everything is possible with God. I do nothing by my own accord or selfless desires. In my sleep I dream of you and when I wake my dreams come true. See me as a righteous servant dedicated to tell the good news promised so long ago. Amen.
