Prayer

"Abba, I abandon myself into your hands...
In your love for me do as you will...
Whatever that may prove to be I am thankful...
I am ready for all, I accept all...
Let only your will be done in me,
as in all your creatures,
and I will ask for nothing else.
Into your hands I commend my whole being...
I give you my self with the love of my heart...
For I love you, my God, and so I need to give...
to surrender myself into your hands...
with a trust beyond measure...
For you are my faithful Creator...
Abba..
Friend..."
