Sometimes its important that we spend some quiet time with God so we can hear him admist the busyness of our world. I wrote this prayer in novitate.
Jesus, live in my heart. May all my actions this day reflect your presence in my life. Be a growing presence in me. Consume my voids and reign in me so it is not I who talk, but you. You who heal the soul, you who preach, evangelize, comfort and bless. May the Glory ever be yours and let me remain humble. Allow me to be a humble servant who knows where his master can be found and show others. Do not let my pride or ambitions get in the way of the mission you set before me. Channel my energies for I cannot, you must. I surrender unconditionally for I have lost, even before the battle has begun, and it is in this surrendering that I am made strong by my Lord. Lord be my captain, commander, king of my heart, and my God.
That is beautiful, Bro Mike.
