A man shares the prayer he first prayed at 12 or 13, asking God to make his hands, eyes, mouth, ears, feet, heart, and whole self extensions of the divine. The prayer culminates in a request to crucify his personal will and replace it entirely with God's will.
There was a prayer that the Holy Spirit inspired me to pray when I was just a boy. I must have been, I wanna say, 12 or 13 years old. And that was, Lord, let my hands be your hands, heal through them. Lord, let my eyes be your eyes. I wanna see things, people, and situations the way you see them. Let my mouth be your mouth. I wanna speak your truth. Let my ears be your ears. I wanna hear your voice. Let my feet be your feet. Guide me where you want me to go. Let my heart beat as one with your heart. heart. Let my being be your being. Crucify my will and in its place resurrect your own.
