“Father …

I have nothing for you.  NOTHING.  What I bring can not even be counted.

Change my heart.  Help me not to hold on to things that truly mean nothing.”

Mark 10 17 As Jesus started on his way, a man ran up to him and fell on his knees before him. “Good teacher,” he asked, “what must I do to inherit eternal life?”  18 “Why do you call me good?” Jesus answered. “No one is good–except God alone. 19 You know the commandments: ‘Do not murder, do not commit adultery, do not steal, do not give false testimony, do not defraud, honor your father and mother.'”  20 “Teacher,” he declared, “all these I have kept since I was a boy.”  21 Jesus looked at him and loved him. “One thing you lack,” he said. “Go, sell everything you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me.”  22 At this the man’s face fell. He went away sad, because he had great wealth.

“Father, the man in Mark 10—that’s me!  I hold on to things that are truly worth NOTHING while ignoring what truly means everything.

Fill me, O God.

Give me something to hold onto, O God.

Show me the way to You.

For You, and You alone, hold the keys to eternal life.”

In The Name of the Father and the 

Son and the Holy Spirit.  Amen.
