Prayer of Surrender
☩ Morning Prayers (version 1) ☩
O Lord, I know not what to ask of Thee.
Thou alone knowest my true needs.
Thou lovest me more than I myself know how to love.
Help me to see my real needs which are concealed from me.
I do not dare to ask either a cross or a consolation. I can only wait on Thee.
My heart is open to Thee. Visit and help me, for Thy great mercy's sake.
Strike me and heal me.
Cast me down and raise me up.
I worship in silence Thy holy will, and I offer myself to Thee as a living sacrifice. I put all my trust in Thee.
I have no other desire than to fulfill Thy will.
Teach me how to pray.
Pray Thyself in me.
Amen.
