my prayer

do I speak empty words? do I write empty thoughts? do I lead an empty life? do I speak empty messages? proclaiming the word, with nothing within. do I speak empty words to my peers? lead a false life in every day conversation? do I write just to impress my brethren? or am I truly a vessel of communication for God? with every word I write and every spoken word May it be borne out of the spirit full of its life giving power to impart life full of grace to touch and change lives express in me, your grace Lord!!! speak through me... use my mind, my mouth, my hand and my pen in my everyday life anď every action May I be emptied of me and full of you forget my wants, direct my needs May I lose my pride so you may prosper May I be driven upward always to meet you and serve you May I raise my voice to speak your praise write my words to proclaim your glory lead my life to embody your grace and give messages to show your truth. take me and fill me now amen.
