I discovered a song called Kill What Is Left of Me by Theophilus Sunday, and its lyrics express the very prayer I’ve been praying for myself.

I pray for less of me and more of Jesus in my life. May I decrease so that He may increase. May God continue to help me die more and more to myself. May I continue to be humbled. And when my time on earth comes to an end, may I be forgotten, except for the testimony of His grace in my life!

I don’t wanna take Your place in any way
In the heart of men
I don’t wanna stand and sing
And who do they see? Is it me or You?
I don’t wanna stand to preach
And who did they see? They don’t know whether it’s me or You

Lord, change my motive, help me to die more and more
Lord, change my motive, help me to die more and more

Oh-oh, kill what is left of me
So that only You will be seen, O God
Oh, oh-oh, kill what is left of me
So that only You will be heard, O God
