Prayer

Most kind and gracious Heavenly Father,

I want to offer myself to you this morning
to build with me and do with me what
you will.
Relieve me of the bondage of self that I
might better do thy will. Take away from me
my difficulties that victory over them might
bear witness to those I would help of Thy
Power, Thy Love, and Thy Way of life.
I am ready now for You to have all of me,
both the good and the bad. Take away
from me every single defect of character
that stands in the way of my usefulness to
You and to my fellows. Grant me strength
this day to be an instrument of Thy Peace,
to live well the next few hours, and to be of
service.
Amen
