hey now this is my desire, consume me like a fire

For this reason I kneel before the Father, from whom His whole family in heaven and on earth derives its name. I pray that out of His glorious riches He may strengthen you with power through His Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in you hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the saints, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge-that you may be filled to the measure of the fullness of God.
Now to Him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to His power that is at work within us, to Him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen.

Here is what I want. Though things may tempt and turn my head, this is the desire of my heart. Though there are times that I stare at what the world has and wonder if it is better. This is what I know is true. God has proven His faithfulness in word and deed and He has proven His love. And though there are moments that I feel frustration, disappointment, or impatience, I want His will and plan that is able to immeasurably more than I can imagine. I want what my God has planned. Lord, I pray that You do whatever it takes to draw me closer and make me more like you. If I can trust you with my eternity, please help me trust you with my today.

I don't understand how you could love me, but I know that you said you did and you don't lie. Please help me know the love that surpasses knowledge and be filled with Your fullness. I know that they are beyond my imagination.
