Prayer of Surrender

5 May 2006, 12 pm | Prayer

Father,
I abandon myself into your hands,
    do with me what you will.
Whatever you may do, I thank you,
I am ready for all, I accept all.
Let only your will be done in me,
    and in all your creatures—
I wish no more than this, O Lord.

Into your hands I commend my soul,
I offer it to you with all the love
    of my heart.
For I love you, Lord,
    and so need to give myself,
To surrender myself into your hands,
    without reserve,
    and with boundless confidence,
For you are my Father.

— Brother Charles of Jesus
