Prayer – The Potter’s Hand
Surrendering To The Potter’s Hand
Heavenly Father, the Master Potter, I come before You as clay in Your hands. In humility and trust, I surrender my life to You, asking that You shape me according to Your will and purpose.
Mold me into a vessel that reflects Your glory, one that is useful for Your kingdom and service. Remove any impurities within me, and smooth out the rough edges of my character, that I may be more like Christ.
As You work on me, Lord, grant me the patience to endure the process, knowing that reshaping and refinement may come with discomfort and challenge. Help me to remain pliable in Your hands, responsive to Your touch, and willing to be transformed.

In moments of doubt or when I feel lost in the spinning wheel of life, remind me that Your hands are steady and Your intentions are good. May I rest in the assurance that You are working all things together for my good and Your glory.
