I read this in Choosing Gratitude - a Journey to Joy by Nancy Leigh DeMoss. It is written by Russell Kelfer. Thought is was worth sharing.
Having been born into the Kingdom of God I do hereby acknowledge that God's purchase of my life included all the rights and control of that life for all eternity.
I do further acknowledge that He has not guaranteed me to be free from pain or to have success or prosperity. He has not guaranteed me perfect health. He has not guaranteed me perfect parents. He has not guaranteed me perfect children. He has not guaranteed the absence of pressures, trials, misunderstanding or persecution.
What He has promised me is eternal life. What He has promised me is abundant life. What He has promised me is love, joy, peace, patience, gentleness, meekness and self control. He has given me all of Himself in exchange for the rights to my life.
Therefore, I acknowledge this day the relinquishment of all my rights and expectations and humbly ask Him by His grace to replace these with a grateful spirit for whatever in His wisdom He deems to allow for my life.
Signed you.
Signed me.
