It’s really easy to forget who’s in charge of this world we live in. Even we Christians get wrapped up in live and begin to think we are actually in control of things in our lives. That whole “self-made man” image runs head-long into the truth that God really is in control. We naturally fight let Him lead us.

Dr. Jeff Iorg, President of Golden Gate Baptist Theological Seminary teaches four prayers that reinforce our submission to God.  They are:

• "Lord, I am expendable.  [use me] another day or a decade of life, whatever pleases you."
• "Lord, I serve at your pleasure.  Use me or not, whatever pleases you."
• "Lord, your kingdom matters.  Mine doesn't.  Use me up today to advance your cause."
• "Lord, you are God.  I am not.  Help me keep those roles straight today."

If we would just pray those simple prayers every day, I bet our lives would change in a dramatic way. Let’s give it a try.
