A Prayer

Today, my pal, Carl, posted this incredible prayer on his blog:


Today,  For what I am that I ought not to be,
Forgive me.
For what I am not that I ought to be,
Forgive me.

Be with my mouth in what it speaks.
Be with my hands in what they do.
Be with my mind in what it thinks.
Be with my heart in what it feels.

Work in me,
   Through me.
and in spite of me.

And I will give you the praise...

  
From the 1969 devotional God is No Fool by Lois Cheney, Abingdon Press.
