Isaiah 6:1-8
In the year that King Uzziah died, I saw the Lord seated on a throne, high and exalted, and the train of his robe filled the temple. 2 Above him were seraphs, each with six wings: With two wings they covered their faces, with two they covered their feet, and with two they were flying.

3 And they were calling to one another:
"Holy, holy, holy is the LORD Almighty;
the whole earth is full of his glory."

4 At the sound of their voices the doorposts and thresholds shook and the temple was filled with smoke.

5 "Woe to me!" I cried. "I am ruined! For I am a man of unclean lips, and I live among a people of unclean lips, and my eyes have seen the King, the LORD Almighty."

6 Then one of the seraphs flew to me with a live coal in his hand, which he had taken with tongs from the altar. 7 With it he touched my mouth and said, "See, this has touched your lips; your guilt is taken away and your sin atoned for."

8 Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying, "Whom shall I send? And who will go for us?" 
 And I said, "Here am I. Send me!"

Heavenly Father, help me to realize that I am unclean, and only through you that I can be saved. God, it has been difficult during this past few weeks, work and family has been very stressful, so many times I have to pour out my sorrow and feeling to you, and thank you for reminding me that we are weak and sinful. Yes, how I wish that you can take all my stress and burden away and live an easy life. However, thank you to let me know that it is through these difficult time that you want to make me stronger, Lord, give me a willing heart to serve you and withstand times of difficulties. Lord, here I am, please use me.
