In over my head!

Father, this morning I want to just write you my prayer. Lord, too many times I have prayed for your safety and your protection in my life. It’s not that I don’t want to be safe or protected by you anymore. In fact, I want even more to be safe and protected by you. But I don’t want to pray for it anymore. Instead, I want to ask you to call me out where the water is over my head. I want you to call me out where the waves are tossed by the wind. Lord, I am not seeking adventure or an adrenaline high. I just want to be in your will. I know that there will be some days that you will keep me safe wrapped tightly in your arms. But I want to give you permission to call me out where the waves are so big I can’t see the horizon. I want to be beautifully in over my head. When I am beautifully in over my head I know that you are still in control of the waves. I know that you are guiding my life in the currents. I know that you are leading me toward your glory. I want to apologize because of all the times I missed your will for my life because I preferred the safety of the shore.
Father, I love your shores, but I will trust your plan. So, the next time I find myself in over my head. I will know that this is right where you have called me. Lord, I cannot promise you that I will not be afraid, but I also will try to trust that you have called me to the waves for a reason. And I will trust that I am beautifully in over my head.
