Use Me

Today I have very little. I'm in that state these days of feeling as though I am simply a vessel. I'm here to be poured out for another.

Dear Lord,

There are so many you are laying in my path these days. I can't name names, but you know who they are, for you put them there. Their hearts ache and they need so much. Speak to them, I surrender my tongue from my thoughts, fill my mouth with your words. I am willing to be used for each of them. You've brought them before me with reason, I don't know it. I am nothing alone. I can do nothing unless you use me, and so I surrender all. Allow me to be a part of the plan, a tool to help them find their way. Help me to have for them what they need, when they need it. I want to be invisible to them. I want them to only see you. To only feel you. To only hear you. Help me to be empty of myself and full of you so they can reach in and have all they need. Even thought I feel all their strugles and pains in my human heart, I know you will only give me what you have prepared me for. I know you will wash over it all in the end. I know that what I feel for them is only a tiny bit of what you feel for them. Thank you Lord for asking this of me. Thank you for thinking I was enough to be used this way.
