Set Me Free

O Lord, set me free,
Free from  the  inglorious.
Free from the inconsequential.
Free from inconsistent.

Free from selfishness.
Free from self-assurance.
Free from self-centeredness.

Set me free from all that distracts,
Set me free from all that detracts,
Set me free from all that defeats.

Set me free to be an encourager,
Set me free to be a promoter,
Set me free to be a motivator.


Set me free for your purpose.
Set me free to follow your passions.
Set me free, your life to practice .


Set me free to sacrifice for you.
Set me free to suffer for you.
Set me free to be sustained by you.

Set me free to walk in you way.
Set me free to grow in your word.
Set me free to live in worship.

Forgive Us

Jesus, Forgive us for worshiping our acts of worship.
Forgive us for consuming the sacrifice we are bringing to you.
Forgive us for bowing to the idol of success.
Forgive us for idolizing charismatic leaders who have no character.
Forgive us for serving self rather than others.
Forgive us for for our lack of accountable relationships.
Forgive us for acting as if others do not count is our salvation journey.
Forgive us for remaining in the boxes of rules instead of the freedom of relationships.
Forgive us for living in legalism and license instead of love.
Forgive us for making lifestyle choices the litmus test for being part of the Family.
Forgive us for preaching grace and mercy and living judgment and criticism.
Forgive us Lord, Forgive us.....
