Prayer of Submission

I learned the following prayer last year in Living Waters.  I say it every night before I fall asleep as a promise to God and as a reminder to myself that His will be done.   I thought it was worth sharing.


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.
I ask no more than this, Lord.
Into your hands I commend my soul.  I offer it to you with all the
love of my heart because I love you and so, need to give myself,
to surrender myself into your hands without reserve and with
boundless confidence.
For you are my Father.

by Charles de Foucauld
