Dear Jesus,
I want so much to follow your path of discipleship. Deep within my soul, I feel the need and desire that calls me to this life with you. I know I’m still young, but I believe this to be my mission. I wish with my whole heart to put you at the center of my life. I want to become active in spreading belief and faith in you. I am working to live a life that is strong and filled with goodness so that I make you proud. I want to set an example with my actions as well as my words.
I try to see need around me, Lord Jesus, and help out whenever I can. I pray that you will guide me to the ones who need my help-and I pray that I can see their need and that you will guide me in what to do.
Help me separate myself from the material things of this world that distract me from the path you have chosen for me. Already I can feel that this separation is bringing me closer to you and to my family in new and profound ways.
Thank you, Lord, for this calling and showing me your love.
Amen.
