Take Control

O Lord, my human nature tells me to take control.
to say things that curry favor,
to do things that ingratiate myself to others,
to make sure others know what I can do,
to protect myself, take care of myself,
promote myself, trust only myself.

O Lord, You are in control.
You are the one I will trust.
You promote
You watch over and protect your children.
The words I speak should only flow from your love.

O Lord, may your nature take over my nature.
I surrender to you. Take control.
