Light These Idle Sticks of My Life

God, I pray Thee,
light these idle sticks of my life
and may I burn for Thee.

Consume my life, my God,
for it is Thine.

I seek not a long life,
but a full one, like you, Lord Jesus.

(A prayer by Jim Elliot, martyred missionary to the indigenous people of Ecuador)
