less of me

i choose to follow you
forsaking all i know
and i'm taking up my cross.
and if i die, i die!
to find my life in you
oh lord, this is my cry.

And so, dear brothers and sisters, I plead with you to give your bodies to God. Let them be a living and holy sacrifice- the kind he will accept. When you think of what he has done for you, is this too much to ask? Don't copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Then you will know what God wants you to do, and you will know how good and pleasing and perfect his will really is.
Romans 12:1-2
.
God, change the way i think! Let my worries and things that are important to me be wiped away. transform me, change me, renew me.
i've been feeling insecure lately. probly because i'm trying to be what the worls wants, what people want. i'm trying to impress them beacuse i feel like i don't measure up. why? these things shouldn't be important to me. popularity isn't everything. am i not here to be humble and selfless? it's not only about me. my selfish ambitions can wait. i'm not the only one in this world. i'm not living for me, i'm living for God. God, change my heart. help me see that i should be a living sacrifice. show me what that means, what that looks like. i'm so caught up with the business of life, i need to take the time, i need to care a little more, i need to love a little more. renew me God, transform me from the inside out, change the way i think. Give me the mindset of worship. help me to take up my cross and follow you -daily- you lead the way, not me. help me trust you, help me to find security in you, and come with me on this journey.
