The attitude of every disciple is to be the same as Jesus' attitude. He didn't love His life.
So, the persistent prayer of a disciple goes something like this. 'Father, my life is Yours, to do with as You wish. I want to obey Your will for my life, whatever that might be. Help me to do that.' The particular words of your prayer might be different but not the attitude. It is not possible to be a disciple of Jesus and refuse to offer this kind of prayer. This is what following Jesus is about. It's about not loving your life.
