Original Prayer

I've been stood watching other people diving into your presence for years now; I've continued to serve in my ministry, always loving what I do, but I've always been fearful of taking that next step beyond just playing the songs and going home. Now I've taken the step of moving to where I believe you want me to be with no job, no money and fast diminishing hope. So now I'm stood on a diving board, but I look down and I tell myself I'm going to die and take a step back. I need a KICK to send me flying into your presence. I need to ignite and understand that near enough just isn't good enough. I need help to destroy every little sinful thing (and the big ones) in my life to serve as I know I should. I need to run instead of crawling and I need to rely on you every single day and not what I see with the flesh Monday to Saturday... I pray you'll give me resolve to do more and better to see change in my local community for your glory. No more half measures.
