Our Morning Offering – August 31

Prayer of Abandonment to God’s Will

O Lord, I do not know
what to ask of You.
You alone know
what are my true needs.
You love 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 for a cross
or for consolation.
I can only wait on You.
My heart is open to You.
Visit and help me,
for the sake of Your great mercy.
Strike me and heal me;
cast me down and raise me up.
I worship in silence Your holy will
and Your unsearchable ways.
I offer myself as a sacrifice to You.
I have no other desire
than to fulfill Your will.
Teach me to pray.
Pray You Yourself in me.
Amen
