Foundations

Dear God:

I want to be Unmovable
and Unshakeable 
so let my roots grow down deep

Unmovable
and Unshakeable in You


father i fail time and time and time (x 100) again.  sometimes i feel like i can't do anything right.  i feel like the foolish man who built his house on the sand--whenever storms, hardships, struggles come i just fall flat on my face.  my foundation is weak...it's cracked and moldy.  God, i want a foundation that is Unmovable and Unshakeable.  come in and completely rebuild, restructure my spiritual foundation.  i know it won't be easy, but father, i need to stop falling...i want to start running as fast and as passionately as i can towards You. 

God, the way i am, i can't help anyone else but myself.  but Lord! Lord, i'm tired of focusing on myself.  i'm tired.  i want a solid foundation made of rock.  a foundation built upon Your Word.  father, i want an unmovable foundation so that i can serve You.  i want to love others like You love them.  i want my heart to break for others as Yours breaks for them.  but father, to do that...i need...i want a foundation that can't be shaken.  i want a solid foundation that You can build on, and that others can stand on to get closer to You.  let others be able to stand on me to see You more clearly.  

love,
grace
