In this short devotional monologue, the speaker recounts a childhood prayer he used to ask the Holy Spirit to fully possess and guide his being. He petitions God to use each part of his body—hands, eyes, mouth, ears, feet—and his entire being, heart, and will, so that they function as instruments of divine healing, perception, speech, hearing, movement, and purpose. The prayer culminates in a request that his personal will be crucified and replaced by God's will, expressing a deep desire for total surrender and alignment with the Holy Spirit.

Chapters

When I was a boy, I prayed this prayer to let the Holy Spirit take over. Maybe you can pray the same. Lord, let my hands be your hands. Heal through them. Let my eyes be your eyes. I wanna see things, people, and situations the way you see them. Let my mouth be your mouth. Speak through me. Let my ears be your ears. I wanna hear your voice. Let my feet be your feet. Take me where you want me to go. Let my being be your being. Let my heart beat one with yours. Crucify my will, and in its place, resurrect your own.
