Prayer to be a living sacrifice for Jesus

I'm grateful Lord Jesus for Your willingness to lose Your life on the cross to save me from the wages of sin. I place my life in Your hands as a living sacrifice and ask You to deliver me from being a self-centered Christian. Holy Spirit, show me this day how I can deny myself by taking up my cross in practical ways. Help me be a sacrificial disciple who is willing to give up what I cannot keep to gain what I cannot lose. I pray in the mighty name of Jesus.
