Lord, I come to you tonight with much on my heart and running through my mind. I come to you with a spirit of heaviness and know that as I cast my cares upon you, that you will take them from me in exchange for your peace and wisdom and strength. I lay down at your feet all that is with-in me, I crawl into your arms, lay my head on your chest to hear the rythmn of your heart beat as I look up into your eyes. You have instructed me on what to do, I choose to follow your instructions, I will walk out what you've asked me to do.
You have asked me to lay my Isaac on the altar. I step back trusting you to do what is your will with my Isaac on the altar. I fully submit this into your hands. I trust you to give me the strength to leave my Isaac on the altar as I praise you for the outcome! I choose to begin to see the final outcome instead of what the now situation is! I truly believe you have it all planned out and as I step back I will be rewarded with the desire of my heart on this...my Isaac won't be sacrificed, but instead handed over to me to fully and richly enjoy!
I choose today to lay my Isaac on the altar and start the journey of trusting you through the process that is needed to recieve my Isaac back when you give back! Not only will my Isaac have went through the refiners fire and experienced what you have assigned by laying on the altar, but I also will have went through the refiners fire and experienced what it is you have assigned me in the process of laying my Isaac on the altar and walking away til you provide the ram.....selah
Lord, as I do this, whatever is needed to be changed or be rooted out or inputed in me, do so, I give you complete control...I am open!! I don't want to mess this up, I know that if its given time this whole experience will bring me and my Isaac closer, it will bring out your will, your plans. I know I will be alright to go through this....I know I have all that is needed to do this inside of me already...so Lord, I choose now to start the journey your taking me on! Thank you Lord, for revealing this to me...Thank you that you will guide me every step and ALL the way through this...I will NOT abort this...at all cost I WILL do this and do it til the ram is provided! I am submitted and in total surrendered state...I am standing on Matthew 11:12 and Psalms 57:7 as I go through this...I will also allow myself to be still and know you are God in all of this...I WILL be patient, I will not rush you...I will only do what you say do, I will only say what you say to say, I am in total submission to your Will on this...You know my heart, you know my motives, you know my love for my Isaac is true and genuine...and I will obey....selah.....Like you provided for Abraham, I know you will provide for me! I know that the desire of Abrahams heart was to have Isaac's life sparred, so he could enjoy Isaac, I too have that same desire, and I know your not a respector of persons, what you did for him, I know you will do for me! I will stand on the wall as a watchman and pray watching and looking for the outcome and "ram" that when this is all said and done, I have an offering to present as a thank you for this process coming to an end!!! This I pray oh God!! So Lord, thank you for my "ram"!!!
I'm reminded of the story of the 2 mothers fighting over the baby...and the one who truly had the interest of the baby at heart responded in a sacrificial manner by sparing the babies life by allowing the other woman to have the child. I am willing to sacrifice my Isaac so that it exposes YOUR PLAN, YOUR WILL that Isaac be in my life! Let "Solomon" come now on the scene so that the truth be revealed!
I choose to praise you to offer up thanks for ALL that is in my life and on the way to my life! Thank You for my Isaac! Thank You for allowing me to go through this! Thank you for the refiners fire, Thank you for the altar where I can lay my Isaac down...Thank You for the ram, Thank You...I know that the altar is a place of restoration!!! Thank You Lord, for granting this prayer and I seal it now in the blood and offer it up to you with Faith it will be granted! I ask that as I lay my Isaac on the altar you see it as a pleasing offering and expression of my faith and grant to me the result and desire Im asking to come from this....Grant it oh God...
In Jesus name---Amen!!
