Gracious God, We build walls to protect

Gracious God, We build walls to protect ourselves, but it leads to isolation. We make independence the highest value, instead of complete dependence on You. Forgive us for our inability to surrender everything to Your will. Help us to give You our work, our family, our relationships, our resources, and our time. May we choose a life committed to Your purposes over a life driven by our own ambitions and desires. May You alone be what our heart desires. In the Name of Jesus we pray, Amen.
