The Alter

Father,
I lay my addictions 
before you today.
Help me with fleshly 
distractions and hungers.

Phone
shopping
news
social media
alcohol
fried foods
sweet treats
caffeine

Father, 
help me to bring my attraction,
and magnetism of soul
to your alter, 
and release them to you.
Surely I was set free to walk in freedom.

I want to be sparked into 
the flame of action
by your Spirit alone.
I want o rest in the peace of gratitude
and rejoice in the 
God of my salvation 
alone.
I want to love you 
with all of my heart
all of my soul
all of my strength
all of my time
all of my money
all of my attention.

God, I want to love you with all 
that is within me,
and all at my disposal
for your glory 
and for my joy.
