Let us pray:

Dear God,

I am powerless and my life is unmanageable without
your help and guidance. I come to you today because
I believe that You can restore and anew me to meet my
needs today.

Since I cannot manage my life and affairs,
I have decided to give them to You.
I put my life, my will, my thoughts,
my desires and ambitions in Your hands.
I give You all of me: the good and the bad,
the character defects and shortcomings,
my selfishness, resentments and problems.
I know that You will work them out in accordance
with Your plan.

Such as I am, take and use me in Your service.
Guide and direct my ways and show me what to
do for You. I cannot control or change my friends
or loved ones, so I release them into Your care
for Your loving hands to do with as You will.
Just keep me loving and free from judging them.
If they need changing, God You'll have to do it; I can't.
Just make me willing and ready to be of service to You,
to have my shortcomings removed, and to do my best.

Help me to see how I have harmed others and make me
willing to make amends to them all. Keep me ever mindful
of thoughts and actions that harm myself and others,
and which separate me from Your light, love and spirit.
And when I commit these errors, make me aware of them
and help me to admit each one promptly.

I am seeking to know You better, to love You more.
I am seeking the knowledge of Your will for me and the
power to carry it out. Lord, teach me patience, and
remind me that it is hard work, but well worth the labor.
Guide me in all I do to remember that waiting is the
answer to some of my prayers, and that when I need
You, You will be there to help me.

Amen ~ Amen
